Childbearing is a blessing. In the beginning, God told Adam to multiply. [i] Then, likewise, “God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, ‘Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.’” (Gen 9:1). Then along came Abram. The directive was slightly different:
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” (Gen 15:5)
Something was different this time; rather than Abram multiplying, God would multiply for him. Neither Eve nor Noah’s wife were barren, so their husbands and them did the multiplication. With Abram, he was eighty-eight and Sarai was barren. God would take care of them!
But in the interim, Sarai had little faith. How could a barren woman reproduce and how could an old man plant his seed? God had said, “I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing” (Gen 12:2).
Later, God revealed truth to Pharoah. Abram presented his wife as his sister, which was true. He refrained from telling Pharaoh that Sarai was his wife. If Pharoah had coitus with Sarai, then God’s blessing would have come to naught.
The Lord God later repeated His blessing: “The Word of the Lord (Jesus [ii]) came unto him, saying, ‘This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.’” Note that woman came from the bowels of Adam long before (not “rib” as has been translated, but his side.)
After a futile attempt to provide a righteous heir with Sarai’s handmaiden, Hagar, God reinforced His blessing: “And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee” (Gen 17:6).
And out of grace, God blessed Sarai. He made her a new person and changed her name to “Sarah.” He included this devious woman in the Covenant and exalted her as well: to wit: “I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations” (Gen 17:16). She, like Eve, and like Mary, be the “mother of all living.”
Time went by; Abraham was no longer eighty-eight but ninety-nine and Sarah ninety. Three “men” came and supped with Abraham and Sarah. One of the men said, “I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him” (Gen 18:10). She laughed!
The “Man,” surely “The Angel of God,” healed both Abraham and Sarah, and made them alive again. They once had been fertile and capable of giving life, but both had lost their youth. The Man made them young again (regeneration) so as to fulfill the blessing of God. That Man had the power of life. God manifested Himself as a Man. God, when He is revealed, is called “Jesus.”
Abraham laughed. What did Sarah do? She laughed as well, and wondered aloud, “After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?” (Gen 18:12).
It was certainly not for their pleasure but for God’s Plan for them. Pleasure is for the flesh. They would honor God by being the “rain” and the “vessel” for growing. God would be the Sun. It would not be for pleasure but to make living souls.
What had Abram and Sarai done many years before? They left Haran and traveled to Canaan. “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” (Gen 12:5). “Substance” was their material possessions. Those few who came from Haran were more than flesh. They were “souls.” He headed to the Garden again to recreate it. Like God in the beginning, Abram brought both substance and spirit. [iii]
Adam had been charged with the same thing. Just as God had made him a “living soul,” “multiplication” would be for God to use him to increase the number of souls in the Garden. In the time of Abraham, he was charged with multiplying souls in the Garden, by then, greatly changed and called “Canaan.”
The man, Canaan, would be the servant of Semites just as God promised Noah. They would keep the land on which was once a Garden, and serve God by Hagar’s producing adversarial seed to test the Semites. It was all in God’s Plan.
Abram made souls of men. Since Abram had great faith, those who would follow Abram, would have had great faith. The souls who followed Abram was not the way to multiply. They were adopted sons of God, but God meant Spiritual sons. He planned on having heirs, and Abram was his choice because he had already begun with bringing souls to God.
Abram was a man who was after God’s own Heart, just like David. But God wanted more than a Man; He wanted a Spiritual Heir who would be called “Jesus” and be both the Son of Man and the Son of God. Abraham was the man and Sarah the vessel for God’s Spirit to hover over. It was not Abraham’s “semen” that produced Isaac, but God’s Living Waters. Perhaps, Isaac was of the “Waters” of God stored in Sarah’s “virgin” womb, just as with Mary.
But surely Abram had “known” his own wife to understand that she was barren. God made new persons of them, just as when sinners are “born again.” God gave Abraham life again, and He also made Sarah a virgin again. Not that she had not pleasured, but she had never born a child. Sarah had an empty womb without a placenta. What did God do? He gave Sarai the name “Sarah” and provided for her a placenta for His Purpose.
Placentas are temporary “wombs” on loan from God for making and carrying life. God borne (transported) Isaac to Sarah and Sarah, like Mary, born (carried) Isaac.
Abraham and Sarah laughed. God did not, but with the birth of Isaac, God laughed out loud — Isaac means “He laughed.” Not that Isaac laughed, but God laughed at the naivete of Abraham and Sarah.
Just as God created mankind from substance and breathed life unto Adam, God did that with Isaac. It seems that Isaac was both body and soul in that Abraham provided the body but God the filled soul. As such, Abraham is antitypical to God, Sarah antitypical to Mary, and Isaac the antitype of Jesus.
That makes Ishmael another anti-type of Christ — an Antichrist. Perhaps the Antichrist will come from the seed of Ishmael and scripture certainly points to that with the beheadings and restrictive laws in the end.
Adam begat many generations. Some where righteous but most were not. They were substances of flesh. Adam sowed the seed, but Abel was killed. Purely righteous seed was never used. Adam’s progeny was full of tares that he would care for by the sweat of his face.
Tares in the world, and even the Garden, were because of original sin. Abraham was called to replant the Garden, not a Garden of trees or any other substance, but a Garden of Living Souls. Israel is just that! But Abraham also planted tares. Ishmael overgrew the Garden along Naral Ha Yarden — the “River of the Garden” or in modern English, the Jordan River.
How about Noah? He planted both good seed and tares as well. Shem’s seed were the good seed that would enlarge Japheth as well. Shem would grow Gentile seeds in the Garden Paradise. That is why Abraham came to Canaan’s land… to overcome the tares that had theretofore been planted.
Unfortunately, or more likely by Plan, God planted tares in the Garden to continue punishing Adam’s kind. The seed of Ishmael were the tares of the Wicked One, and Abraham’s seed would only have to overcome the seed that Ishmael planted.
Jesus, “the Son of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel” would do that. The man from Kerioth, Judas, would be the sacrifice of the “Ram” (Satan) that Abraham would preview with the sacrifice that God provided. Acknowledge it or not, on the day that Jesus was crucified, God provided two sacrifices just as with Abraham. Isaac was sacrificed but would live, maybe in the same place and as Jesus would live.
The other sacrifice for Abraham was the “Ram.” The “Aries” stars would keep the seed of Abraham safe until the dawning of Pisces. Then the “Fish” (Jesus) would prevail over Aries.
Jesus lived but the “Ram,” Satan in Judas, would die as Pisces (Jesus) arose. Jesus multiplied Living Souls to this modern age, but as of December 21, 2021, the world is now in “The New Age.” The faith of Abraham nor faith is Jesus is not enough to change God’s Plan; not because of faith but the faithful few. The dawning of the Age of Aquarius is the Age of the Antichrist.
How is that? Judas was from Iscariot, east of the Dead Sea. He was of Ishmael’s seed. God selected Ishmael’s seed for a purpose. His is the number of “Man.” Isaac has the number of God. His seed would survive to the end.
Kerioth has the same root noun as Qu’ran (Abarim Publications). Muslim resources identify the Qu’ran as the number “666.” Satan was in the Man of Kerioth and he will enter the person of another man of Kerioth from Ishmael’s seed.
Is the vaccine the “mark of the Beast?” or is it Islam? The end-of-time government and religion points toward Sharia Law and Islam. Requirements by laws (obedience) just condition people for the marking.
If Israel would be the man from whom Christ would come, then does it not make sense that the Antichrist would come from Ishmael? It happened once with Judas, why would it not happen again with the next Beast?
It turns out that Ishmael planted tares. They have overtaken the Garden Paradise in Israel. They are there among the “good seed” that God planted there through the bowels of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. However, the good seed has gone bad due to spiritual intercourse with “tares.” God will correct that when He pulls the tares from Holy Ground and burns them up in His fiery furnace, ironically, some believe, in the abyss to Hell beneath the Foundation Stone under the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem.
The end…
