ISHMAEL WAS NOT ABRAHAM'S SON

Updated: 3 days ago

ISHMAEL WAS NO MORE ABRAHAM’S SON THAN CAIN WAS EVE'S SON. THEREFORE, ISLAM IS NOT AN ABRAHAMIC RELIGION, SO WHO IS ALLAH ?


Take Ishmael back to his father, Sarah


  All Bible verses not typed in text are shown at the end of this blog.

Many people have attempted to explain Genesis 22:2 and 15:4 as to why Ishmael was omitted here as Abram’s son and heir.

Genesis 22:2 And He said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Genesis 15:4. And behold the word of the LORD came unto him saying, This (Ishmael) shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

Genesis 16:15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

  I know these three verses will have those who believe the Bible to be inerrant, as well as those who believe that Muhammed was descended from Abraham through Ishmael, shaking their heads. However, please look at my evidence, derived from all versions of the Bible, for why only two of these verses are correct. To begin with, although a daughter of God, i.e., a descendant of Seth, was a requirement in the line of the Messiah, polygamy was not a sin, at least for men(1), and neither was a concubine or even a slave woman or two, out of the question(2). So, if Abraham had been fertile as the Bible claims, then it is inconceivable that he would not have had any number of heirs coming forth out of his own bowels, by the time he was 85 years old, when Sarai, supposedly, offered him Hagar. Besides, any sons fathered by Abram would also have been spoken to by God and would quickly have merged into the Jewish community, regardless of who was the mother(3). On the other hand, if Sarai was the one who was fertile, as I claim, she would not have dared to take another lover, at least not without the permission of Abraham, or she would have been stoned to death.

     ‘Permission’ brings us now to the peculiar behaviour of Abram when he took Sarai down into Egypt and instructed her not to let on that she was his wife. I believe that was the beginning of Moses trying to hide Abram’s lack of faith in God’s promise to give him an heir. I don’t know how long Sarai spent in the household of the Pharaoh, but it was certainly long enough for her to conceive with Ishmael. A mathematical calculation will show that the timing was right too.

      Regarding the 2nd half of Gen 22:2, God never intended for Abram to sacrifice his son Isaac. The scenario of Abram sacrificing his son was merely an illusion in Abram’s conscience to test his devotion to God(4). Otherwise, how could Isaac ever trust his father again? And neither would I. God has never required sacrifice just to please Him. See Isa 1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. While God takes no pleasure in sacrifice, there had to be one physical sacrifice of someone He treasured, to forgive our past sins; Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth. Just a few words in a book would not suffice. The only sacrifice God ever condoned was that of The Rod (Jesus), the unblemished sacrificial Lamb from the stump of Jesse in Isaiah 11:1a, whom He had groomed since conception. However, I will show later that Jesus was not yet the Messiah or the Truth during His first appearance, He was only The Way. The Branch growing out of the Rod in Isa 11:1b, i.e., one of His many descendants, is The Messiah and it is He, who will call the descendants of Shem from the four corners of the earth, in Isa 11:11,12.

Abram departs Haran for Canaan

Genesis 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran and in Genesis 17:17 we learn that Sarai was ten years younger. 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came: During his wonderings in the south before he went down into Egypt, supposedly because of a famine, Genesis 16:3 says Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan. So they were now eighty five and seventy five when in Genesis 12:11 they entered into Egypt, and he said to Sarai, his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair women to look upon 12:12 therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians see thee, that they shall say, ‘This is his wife’: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. 12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee: Hog-wash! Pharaoh Abimelech had his pick of every 19-year-old virgin in Egypt, so really, what would he want with a 75-year-old women? The evidence below will show that this was only Moses disguising Abram taking matters into his own hands.


Evidence that it was Abram who was infertile, not Sarai.

  Because God had so far failed to deliver on His promise to Abram to give him a son and heir, Abram took things into his own hands to obtain one by arranging a deal with Pharaoh Abimelech to do the deed. At least this would avoid the embarrassment and expectations if one of his subordinates provided him with an heir from Sarai, and it might provide a bond between nations. However, Moses felt he had to cover for Abram’s indiscretion by introducing the Hagar story in Gen 11:30 where Moses claimed that Sarai was barren. Then, in Gen 16:4 that Ishmael was the direct result of a union between Abram and Sarai’s servant, Hagar, after Sarai, supposedly, allowed Abram to take her to wife in Gen 16:16. And Abram was fourscore and six years old, (86yrs) when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram. (Remember that age) However, if Abram did father Ishmael with Hagar, then that still does not explain why Gen 22:2 omits Ishmael, and states that Isaac was Abram’s only son. 

   The explanation that does explain Genesis 22:2, and undoubtedly the correct one, because it ticks all the boxes, is that of Abram allowing Sarai to be taken to Pharaoh Abimelech, assuredly, to provide him with an Heir. I will elaborate on why this is the real version of the birth of Ishmael shortly, but first I want to say that I am sorry for those of Islamic faith, who believe they are worshiping the God of Abram through Ishmael and Muhammed, because, if this report is finally accepted as the truth, as it must, then it will exclude Ishmael as Abram’s son and confirm Gen 22:2, that Isaac was Abram’s only son. Now, as Ishmael was not Abram's son, it means Islam is not an Abrahamic religion, and therefore, Muhammad could not have been in the line of Jesus or the next prophet after Jesus as he claimed. Because Muhammad was born in Mecca, not Jerusalem, and never converted to either Christianity or Judaism, it follows that it was not Yahweh he was worshiping, but one of the old gods of Arabia, probably Zeus. Therefore, his followers have no right to be in Canaan, (Jerusalem) at all, except by conquest, or worse, in the 7th century CE. And, by conquest they lost it as spoils of war in 1945 when they supported Hitler's attempt to annihilate the Jews. Please be assured though, you are at liberty to worship who you want, I am merely showing you that if Ishmael was not Abram’s son, then Muhammad was not a descendant of Abram, therefore, by worshiping Allah, you are not obeying the law of the God of Abram, if that is what you want.

    Although Islam has led Muslims away from God, I am sure most still believe that good should prevail over evil, and therefore, they, particularly those who are not making a living out of religion, will now want to know that they are worshiping the real God of Abram that Muhammad believed he was worshiping, albeit, with his own ten commandments.

Let me continue now with what I have been inspired to do, i.e., show the three so called Abrahamic religions, Jews, Christians, and Muslims, the path to unity. The following mathematical calculations show that Abram's trip to Egypt had nothing to do with a drought. When they left Haran Abram was 75 years old and Sarai was 65. Add to that, the 10 years they spent in Canaan before going down into Egypt, and we find that Abram would have been 85 and Sarai 75 when they arrived in Egypt, and she was taken to Pharaoh Abimelech. I do not believe we would have been given these dates and ages if we were not meant to decipher the puzzle.

     In Genesis 17:24, 25, Abram was 99 years old (5) and Ishmael, his stepson, was now 13 years old, so Abram would have been 86 years old when Isaac was born, and they were both circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin, at the same time. So, now we know from both Gen 16:16 and Gen 17:24,25, that Abram was 86 when Ishmael was born and by using these ages, we can deduce their age when Ishmael was conceived. I have subtracted ten years age difference between Abram’s and Sarai’s age, making her 76 when Ishmael was born. Then, by subtracting a further nine months for gestation, Sarai would have been 75 years old, when Ishmael was conceived, which was the same age that she was when she was taken to pharaoh. Further evidence of Abram’s complicity shortly. I will also explain why the story of Hagar was entirely Moses' intervention, and the huge unintended consequences that occurred when Muhammad picked up on it.


Further Evidence To Substantiate The Revelation That I Received.

If Ishmael really was Abram’s son to Hagar, why would Abimelech be rewarding Abram at all, let alone so lavishly, for his deceit in claiming Sarai was his sister, and allowing her to be taken to pharaoh in Gen 12:11-16? When the Pharaoh found out that Abraham had lied to him, supposedly, about his relationship with Sarai, this is what he said and did for Abraham; And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.” Also, did Moses make a mistake by including a second version of Abram’s journey to Egypt in Gen 20:14? And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and women servants, and gave them unto Abram, and restored him Sarai his wife. But then, God would have known what Moses had done and may have wanted to draw the Spirit of Truth’s attention to it, by including the second version. Sadly, once a lie begins, it must continue; why would it be Abimelec rewarding Abram for his deceit, either way this must be adulteration.

     Abimelech, the then host of satan, could not credit that Abram would allow him to adulterate his wife, and thereby, put a cuckoo in Abram’s nest, as he had done with Ham in Noah’s nest and Cain in Adam’s nest before him. So, really, I don’t know, for sure, who paid who for this service, I just believe the whole damn thing is a lie. 

      Although Sarai asked Abram in Genesis 21:9-11 to get rid of Ishmael, he had enjoyed the privileged position as Abram’s stepson for thirteen years and to Abram’s mind, Ishmael was his son, so he wanted God to accept Ishmael as his heir. However, Ishmael was not his biological son, so he could not be Abram’s heir or the forefather of the Jews, and ultimately the Saviour, because his father, Abimelech, was a descendant of Ham, the host of satan. Had this been the case, God would no longer have been able to speak into the mind of any of Abram’s descendants after Ishmael. So, obviously, a Hamite could not be the forefather of Jesus, he must come from an unbroken line, at least on the male side, from white(6) Adam. Eventually, God did restore Abram’s fertility, which then enabled Sarai to conceive with their son, and bare an heir for Abram ‘from his own bowels’, in the line of Adam, Seth, Noah, Shem, and she called him Isaac.

After the birth of Isaac, Moses wrote that Sarai blamed Hagar’s attitude for not wanting Ishmael to be their heir, and asked Abram to get rid of him. Sadly, however, it is obvious that Ishmael had enjoyed the privileged position as Abram’s stepson for thirteen years, so no doubt there would have been a bond between them that might have caused Abram in Genesis 21:11,12 to regret having to do so. In the rest of Gen 21, it infers that Ishmael was still a baby when it states that Hager put Ishmael on her shoulder and left him under a tree; then, when the water she had brought ran out, she had to get the ‘child’ a drink etc. As if, any women would, or even could, put a 13-year-old boy on her shoulder or that he could not get his own drink. Most likely, as has been revealed to me, Hagar never existed, so it was Sarai, despite it being very grievous to Abram, who now wanted the pharaoh's son Ishmael gone, because she wanted her lovechild with Abram to be his heir.

      Look again at Genesis 22:2 Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac and also at Genesis 15:3, behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and lo, one born in my house is mine heir. Although this verse tells us that Ishmael was born in Abram’s house he was not Abram’s seed. Then in Gen 15:4, God said to Abram, “Ishmael shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels, shall be thine heir. These verses are saying categorically that Ishmael did not come from Abram’s own bowels, but he was born in his house.

Gen 21:21 also confirms that Ishmael was Pharaoh Abimelech’s son; And he (Ishmael) dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. We are supposed to believe that it was Hagar who was trying to find a wife for her son Ishmael, when, as per verse Gen 21:22, it is clear that it is Sarai and Abram seeking a wife for her abandoned son, Ishmael. And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol, the chief captain of his host, Abimelechspake unto Abram, saying, God is with thee in all that thou does and Gen 21:23 Now therefore, swear unto me here, by God, that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, (what kindness would that be, if it wasn’t providing Abram with an heir) thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned; this surely proves that it was Sarai and Abram who were the guests of the Pharaoh in Egypt this second time, while Sarai found a wife for Ishmael, her abandoned son. I hope you can all see now that Hager never existed, and that in Gen 21:23, above, pharaoh Abimelech is confirming that he is Ishmael’s father by asking Abram for an assurance that he would treat his son, (Ishmael) fairly. And Abram confirms that he would.


Moses Attempts to Protect the Good Name of Isaac as Well.

Because Isaac was also infertile, no doubt inherited from his father, much the same scenario occurred when Isaac took Rebekah down to Egypt. The difference here though, is that Moses used a different fib for Esau, to the one he used for Ishmael.

     Because the Jews were far more aware by the time of Moses, that the Arabs and Egyptians were descended from Ham, the illegitimate, deviate-host of satan in Noah's nest, and were therefore the enemy, Moses could not believe that he was hearing correctly when God inspired him to write that Isaac had also taken his wife down into Egypt several years before Jacob was born, and allowed Rebekah to be impregnated by the host of satan in Gen 26:9, which would be considered an act of treason by the Jews today. However, when Moses wrote in Gen 25:23, that 'two nations were in Rebekah's womb,’ that was how he covered for Isaac’s indiscretion. Why else would Isaac still have wanted Esau to be his heir, after his biological son Jacob, was born? Unless of course, he had already grown fond of Esau over the years and therefore still wanted him to be his heir. However, Rebekah would not have that, and wanted her legitimate son, Jacob, to be Isaac’s heir, and fortunately, deceived him by the ‘good stew and hairy goat story’ to declare Jacob his heir, which of course, was the reason God restored Isaac’s fertility in the first place.

      I believe I have proved beyond reasonable doubt that Isaac was not the father of Esau and Abram was not the father of Ishmael. Therefore, Muhammad could not have followed Jesus in the line of King David, as he claimed. However, I cannot honestly say that Moses’ actions in disguising the birth of Ishmael and Esau, or indeed the rise of Islam, has anything to do with God’s plan to destroy satan, in fact, because God could only inspire his own male soldiers from Seth, He would not have been able to inspire Muhammad of anything. I believe Moses just took it upon himself to cover up for the two Patriarchs, and that Muhammad, either wittingly or unwittingly, jumped at the opportunity to enhance his claim of Divine inspiration.

     Having been rejected by the Jews as being the next prophet after Jesus, descended from Abram, Muhammad then fell on Jerusalem and there compelled the few remaining descendants of Shem who had survived the countless invasions by the descendants of Ham and the Roman occupation, many of whom had by now converted to Christianity, to either follow him and convert to Islam or be killed or exiled. However, following the defeat of the Arabs by the West in 1945, a small portion of the Holy land was returned to its rightful owners, the Jews, in 1947. The fact remains however, that while neither Christianity nor Judaism rise or fall on the validity of Islam being an Abrahamic religion, world peace may well be dependent on my evidence that it is not, and that now, Muslims take another look at where their beliefs originated from.

1 Genesis 29:28 And Jacob did so and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

2 Genesis 30:4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.”

3 I’m sure beautiful women from Ham became part of a Jewish family many times, bringing pigment and physical changes, but God only wanted the Patriarchs to marry white Eve’s descendants. And you can bet the Jews would not have welcomed too many Hamites wanting to marry a Jewess either.

4 The sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham was just an illusion, as was Paul's vision on the road to Damascus. God takes no pleasure in the sacrifice of anything and does not require it to prove our love for Him; He facilitated the concept merely to deceive satan.

5 Although Gen 21:5 gives Abram’s age as 100 when Isaac was born, that is wrong, as is much of chapter 21. According to Gen 16:16, Ishmael was born to someone when Abram was 86, which confirms Gen 17:24, 25 that he was 13 when Abram was 99, and Isaac was born.

6 God’s purpose for this latest Creation was to separate from satan, so he could no longer be aware of what God had created and therefore could not destroy it. As part of His plan to separate from satan, when God said to satan, “let us create Man in our image”, unbeknown to satan He created a separate black Adam more to satan’s liking, and placed him in a separate parts of Edan, also more to satan’s liking so he would not want to destroy it. To fully understand this strategy, you would need to read ‘In the Beginning’ in my Web address “The Papacy Can Now End”
