Seed of Massive War

If current events follow historical patterns, we're in for massive war soon. How many ppl know history and the seed of the current violence?

History, with its time-proven facts, usually provides focus.

Here's the WHY of what's happening. Look up history to see what's about to happen if it follows centuries-old patterns.

If somebody posts a timeline of historical events from the birth of these 2 brothers, it will show endless war, endless taking and re-taking of land, endless murder and mayhem.

WHAT COULD BREAK THIS CYCLE AT THIS POINT IN HISTORY?

Abraham was born in Ur of the Chaldees, located in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley region, in what is today Iraq. He and his wife Sarah had a son Isaac when they were old.

Isaac's birth came about from a miracle - Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born (Genesis 21:5), and Sarah, at age 90, had been unable to have children (Genesis 16:1, 17:17). As explained by God:

"Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly; he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation." (Genesis 17:19-20 RSV).

Isaac was not Abraham's firstborn, or only, son. Fourteen years before, when Abraham was 86 (Genesis 16:16), Sarah (then called Sarai) had arranged for a child to be born to Abraham through her own Egyptian maidservant, Hagar. Ishmael was born from the arrangement (Genesis 16:1-4).

Abraham had been willing to give up his son to God, just as God Himself would later give up His Own Son to a sacrifice that was allowed to happen. An interesting point is that the place where Abraham was sent to sacrifice Isaac, Mount Moriah, is today known as the Temple Mount in Jerusalem - Isaac (Isaac, not Ishmael, was a direct ancestor of the Messiah, Jesus Christ) would have been sacrificed very near the place that Jesus Christ was Crucified.

Ishmael

Ishmael, meaning God hears, was the son of Abraham and Hagar, the Egyptian maid of his wife Sarah. When Sarah had found herself not having children, she arranged to have a child with Abraham by Hagar acting as a surrogate mother (Genesis 16:1-4), even though God had specifically stated that a child (i.e. Isaac) would be born to Sarah in due time.

Ishmael was born at Mamre, when Abraham was 86, 11 years after Abraham's arrival in what would become the land of Israel (Genesis 16:3). He grew up to be a man of the desert wilderness, with a wild and hostile attitude toward people, exactly as God described him to his mother before he was born:

"Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son; you shall call his name Ishmael; because The Lord has given heed to your affliction. He shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against every man and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen." (Genesis 16:11-12 RSV).

When a feast was held to celebrate the weaning of Isaac, who was born 13 years later, Ishmael caused trouble by insulting and mocking his little brother (Genesis 21:8-9). After Sarah, who by then had come to dislike both Hagar and Ishmael, saw what he was doing, she said to Abraham "Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac." (Genesis 21:10 RSV)

Abraham opposed Sarah's demand - despite Ishmael's difficult personality, Abraham loved him and did not want to see him go. God however settled the matter:

"But God said to Abraham, "Be not displeased because of the lad and because of your slave woman; whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your descendants be named. And I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring." (Genesis 21:12-13 RSV)

Hagar and Ishmael were sent away, but they were not abandoned. God appeared and spoke to Hagar, assuring her that He would watch over them and see them prosper (Genesis 21:17-19). "And God was with the lad, and he grew up; he lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow. He lived in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt" (Genesis 21:20-21 RSV).

OK, so what is here is intense anger, resentment, jealousy and sibling rivalry. Another dysfunctional family with kids that couldn't just get over it. Ishmael went on to multiply and vow vengeance and dominance over his brother and his line. Arabs hate Jews, all going back to these 2 brothers. Then Jesus Christ came, a Jew, and millions began following him over time, so the Arabs needed a counter-prophet to be one-up. So Arabs hate Jews and Christians, and their prophet said to behead and kill all Jews and Christians and all others who weren't exactly like the prophet-following Arabs. Even different sects within Islam are busy killing each other.

Different religious groups have gone to war against each other throughout history.

Now, though, the jihaters have nukes, in Iran and Pakistan and probably several other places, including bombs smuggled into and set up in the USA and other countries.

That's the seed of this whole conflict, with billions of humanimals now intent on killing everybody else and finally taking over the earth.

Timeline of Islamofascist Atrocities

So long, here's a partial 1st:

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles.php?article_id=5024

630 Two years before Muhammad’s death of a fever, he launches the Tabuk Crusades, in which he led 30,000 jihadists against the Byzantine Christians. He had heard a report that a huge army had amassed to attack Arabia, but the report turned out to be a false rumor. The Byzantine army never materialized. He turned around and went home, but not before extracting “agreements” from northern tribes. They could enjoy the “privilege” of living under Islamic “protection” (read: not be attacked by Islam), if they paid a tax (jizya).

This tax sets the stage for Muhammad’s and the later Caliphs’ policies. If the attacked city or region did not want to convert to Islam, then they paid a jizya tax. If they converted, then they paid a zakat tax. Either way, money flowed back to the Islamic treasury in Arabia or to the local Muslim governor.

632-634 Under the Caliphate of Abu Bakr the Muslim Crusaders reconquer and sometimes conquer for the first time the polytheists of Arabia. These Arab polytheists had to convert to Islam or die. They did not have the choice of remaining in their faith and paying a tax. Islam does not allow for religious freedom.

633 The Muslim Crusaders, led by Khalid al-Walid, a superior but bloodthirsty military commander, whom Muhammad nicknamed the Sword of Allah for his ferocity in battle (Tabari, 8:158 / 1616-17), conquer the city of Ullays along the Euphrates River (in today’s Iraq). Khalid captures and beheads so many that a nearby canal, into which the blood flowed, was called Blood Canal (Tabari 11:24 / 2034-35).

634 At the Battle of Yarmuk in Syria the Muslim Crusaders defeat the Byzantines. Today Osama bin Laden draws inspiration from the defeat, and especially from an anecdote about Khalid al-Walid. An unnamed Muslim remarks: “The Romans are so numerous and the Muslims so few.” To this Khalid retorts: “How few are the Romans, and how many the Muslims! Armies become numerous only with victory and few only with defeat, not by the number of men. By God, I would love it . . . if the enemy were twice as many” (Tabari, 11:94 / 2095). Osama bin Ladin quotes Khalid and says that his fighters love death more than we in the West love life. This philosophy of death probably comes from a verse like Sura 2:96. Muhammad assesses the Jews: “[Prophet], you are sure to find them [the Jews] clinging to life more eagerly than any other people, even polytheists” (MAS Abdel Haleem, The Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004; first insertion in brackets is Haleem’s; the second mine).

644-650 Muslim Crusaders conquer Cyprus, Tripoli in North Africa, and establish Islamic rule in Iran, Afghanistan, and Sind.

656 Caliph Uthman is assassinated by disgruntled Muslim soldiers; Ali ibn Abi Talib, son-in-law and cousin to Muhammad, who married the prophet’s daughter Fatima through his first wife Khadija, is set up as Caliph.

656 Battle of the Camel, in which Aisha, Muhammad’s wife, leads a rebellion against Ali for not avenging Uthman’s assassination. Ali’s partisans win.

ssshhhhh....

You'll wake the sheeple!

tsk, tsk...

Like an earthquake in CA, we're over due for a massive war.

It's like a pimple you don't want popped...but it's gonna open up one way or another.

Festering zit to put it mildly!

Excellent post, Cascadian.


Rage

Now that the jihaters are once again rioting, burning, looting, screaming, bombing, and vowing to kill the Pope, behead him, and declare war on all Christians, time to bump up this 4000 year old fact of how this whole mess started.

Yes! Real terrorism is coming to America and Europe. The false flags are OVER. The special ops folks have lost control of Islamic terror cells that have entered our great land through the southern and northern borders. Escalation is about to begin. There is much preparation work to be done.

re: log of muslim "evil and inhuman" and extremely bloodthirsty methods of spreading their perverse viewpoints of islam...

Quit talking all those facts and truth - or the muslims will go berserk again, not that that's anything new.

Not only do they go berserk-O when confronted with their PAST "evil and inhumanity"...but they can't stand to be confronted with their CURRENT "evil and inhumanity" which continues to this very day in the many conflicts involving muslims.

The difference between the last global wars and this upcoming one...

After yesterday's horrific mass slaughter, worst shooting rampage in USA so far, here once again is the origin of Ishmael's Ax, which the jihater killer had written in red on his arm before killing as many people as he could.

hmmm, even a Pope came to the conclusion that the muslims had to be pushed back. fortunately for him, the Mongols came along to take most of the wind out of the muslims for awhile.

unfortunately for us, the Chinese and Russians have been using the muslims (the muslim terrorists were Russian trained since at least the 50s) for cannon fodder to weaken us.

this is all going to turn out badly, for everyone, i am sure.

Good posts.

It has to be God's plan that put all that oil under so many Muslim nations. You have to see divine destiny leading up to this time. For hundreds of years they declined into nearly nothing, but now, thanks to oil money, they are in position to wreak havoc.

And as jed said "unfortunately for us, the Chinese and Russians have been using the muslims (the muslim terrorists were Russian trained since at least the 50s) for cannon fodder to weaken us."

I think when "it" comes to America, it will be swift and devastating and horrible. Pray for mercy.

An interesting tidbit: In Jewish lore there is a midrash(a story) that Isaac was really killed and resurrected. In the drash that is the reason that Rebekah 'dismounted' when she saw him - the hebrew says she literally fell off her horse (from the shock of seeing a resurrected Isaac?).

As a believer in Yeshua I find that midrash VERY interesting, to say the least. Especially considering modern Judaism would have you believe that the resurrection of Yeshua is ridiculous. In their very own holy books you see the same theme. I find the more I study the Sages and ancient/classical Judaism, the more compatible it is with my belief in Yeshua.

Bloodbath at college campus, psychotic jihater so self-identified with Ishmael that he used it as his name on his killer media package he sent msnbc:
