3000 years of Mideast Politics
Most of us know that all the main mideast religions claim to descend from Avraham, but the family tree is much more than religion. To begin with both the Arabs and the Jews are desceded from Avraham, the Jews from Itzak (Isaac) and the arabs from Ishmael. So the oldest fight on earth is between two sons of a faithful man. But sons have always fought. Consider for a second Cain and Abel... Or Joseph and his brothers! Sibling rivalry is the oldest story of man.
Yet with G-d it is not as it is with man. Heritage and common sense tells us the paternal blessing flows to the first born son. Sexism aside its always been that way. Yakov and Esau both worked hard to get Itzaks blessing. It was important to them in that it not only represented property but also authority. Avrahams first born was Ishmael... But G-d called Itzak his only son, totally rejecting Ishmael. The rivalry that resulted bore fruit in Mohammed who started His own religion based on the blessing flowing to Ishmael!
The solution to this cult of Ishmael is in the promise of scripture... 2000 years before Mohammed, G-d told Avtaham that in Itzak shall your seed be called! The mystery is in the word seed, zera is masculine and singular. So this seed can not be the Jewish people or even some hypothetical lost tribe. As the context was a son so is the object of this zera. Could this be the same zera of the woman found in Bereshit (Genesis) 3:15? To understand these prophecies one must understand the precept of the first born... As Avraham had two sons, so did the Most High!
What? Am I crazy? No more than Dr. Lucas (Luke), who tells us in his geneology that Adam was the son of G-d!!! Ok then you tell me who was Adam's Father? Eh? (I sound like a Canadian).
Adam was a disappointment to his father and recieved a curse and not a blessing. But the zera of a faithful man, Avraham, through the zera of a woman (Miriam), fulfilled his fathers will and made a sacrifice (chahtah'ah) for sin (a'von). Thus redeeming us from ADAMS CURSE!
So the real solution to mideast sibling rivalry is Y'shua!
The cult of Mohammed must be challenged with the truth... They must submit to King Moshiach and be set free! This can not be done with some goyishke cult of Roman paganism! This must be done with Torah, Nava'im,, v'Brit Chadahshah. The whole Word of G-d!
It sounds impossible but with G-d nothing is impossible!
Messianic Jews have a resposibility to proclaim Moshiach's redemption to all the sons of Adam and are particularly well placed to preach to their brother Ishmael. We tend to make our faith a bless me club and try to convert christians and jews, while we ignore the Moslem who is our brother! Perhaps we should reconsider our attitude!
