Isaac CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY I. Isaac and Abraham A. The supernatural birth of Isaac 1. Isaac was promised to his parents and named by God himself even before he was born (Gen. 17:9, 21). 2. He was born from Sarah’s barren womb, which God had supernaturally touched (Gen. 18:10-11). 3. Abraham was 100 and Sarah was 90 at the birth of their son (Gen. 17:17; 21:5). B. The submissive spirit of Isaac (Gen. 22:1-11) 1. Isaac accompanied Abraham upon Mr. Moriah to become a sacrifice as commanded by God. 2. At first he was unaware that he himself would be the sacrifice. 3. He thus asked his father: “Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” (Gen.

  • The Sons of Keturah – Islam in Prophecy
    mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com THE SONS OF KETURAH – ISLAM IN PROPHECY Is the Prophet Mohammed in Scripture? Yes he is. He is called the 'Blessed Guide'. But he is no blessing. The Biblical account of Keturah will explain this. There was a marriage problem between Abraham and Sarah. We don't know if due to her age Sarah lost interest or rebuffed Abraham for other reasons, but we know they stopped sleeping together. To meet his physical and emotional needs, Abraham took a concubine named Keturah and fathered children by her. Some translations of Genesis 25 verse 1 say “Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah”. This is a mistranslation. The Hebrew word in this verse is ‘ishshah’ which means ‘woman’. It can mean ‘wife’ in some contexts but not in this context. We know Keturah was not the wife of Abraham because it is written in verse 5 and verse 6: “Abraham left everything to Isaac. But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the East”. The Hebrew word is ‘piylegesh’ and it has the unmistakable meaning of ‘concubine’ or ‘paramour’. The image above is of a belly-dancer, a harlot of Arabia. You will notice the harlot has her face covered by a veil. According to the Bible, wearing a full-face veil is the mark of a harlot. Concerning another harlot, Tamar, the Bible says: “she took off her widow’s clothes, covered herself with a veil to disguise herself, and then sat down at the entrance to Enaim…” (Genesis 38:13).

Reeder III We are going to bring to a conclusion the life of Abraham as we come to the Lord’s Supper in Genesis 25. Genesis 25:1–18 says [1] Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. [2] She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. [3] Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

    University City Church of Christ Sharing Biblical knowledge, Spiritual A Publication by and for the Members 4626 NW 8th Ave, Gainesville, FL 32605 Insights, Life and God’s Love Volume 9, Number 1 universitycitychurchofchrist.org KETURAH AND HER BAND OF 14 MEN Abraham had many mothers for his sons (and daughters?). Women were truly considered “chattel” or belongings. Their lives were full of childbirth and hard work. Early translations do not use the word “pain” but “hard work and many pregnancies”. So that is understood as a consequence! And God made women to bare this burden. Keturah enters the picture at this point. She bore six sons, Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. Later Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan, who had three sons, Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. Then Midian had five more sons: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidda, and Eldaah. (I spelled out all these Jewish names so you could appreciate them!) Keturah may have been or NOT wealthy or beautiful as was Sarah, but as his wife (concubine?) she gave Abraham fourteen sons and grandchildren! Money in the bank, so to speak! Today we like to feel these “sons” were God's gifts to Abraham and the nation of Israel. All seem precious to the Clan. While Abraham still lived he gave great gifts to “these also” sons. Abraham sent them far away from HIS special Isaac. Probably so there would be less jealousy! As the Bible says God gave the rest of the herds, his lands and his many women and children to Isaac, who began his hard core of devoted and prolific descendants.

  • Could Bible Prophecy Ignore Germany?
    Germany in Prophecy! Plain Truth Magazine December 1962 Volume: Vol XXVII, No.12 (In the original text published by the Worldwide Church of God under Herbert W Armstrong.) Khrushchev has promised the West a new crisis over Berlin. Will Russia sign a separate peace treaty with Communist East Germany? Here's what's really behind the struggle in Europe — and what history and prophecy say will be the outcome! WHERE is Germany mentioned in Biblical prophecy? Or are the German people mentioned at all? The German people stand today in the very shadow of the Iron Curtain. Germany at this moment holds the key to Europe's destiny and to Western defense. German industry and transportation constitute the heart and arteries of Europe. Without the beating of the German heart, Europe would quickly stagger and fall before the ravages of atheistic Communism. Germany has been the center of the world's two greatest wars and of the scourge of Nazism. Seventeen years ago, TWO YEARS AFTER THE NAZI MOVEMENT WENT UNDERGROUND, Germany appeared destroyed forever as a mighty nation. It seemed she could never rise again. Yet today — seventeen years after Germany was completely destroyed — today, with the Iron Curtain still dividing her people, Germany is once again the vibrant heart of Europe. We commonly hear of the economic "miracle of Germany." Never has there been anything like Germany's revival in history. But Germany's revival is also MILITARY and POLITICAL. This time Germany does not stand almost alone — she is the leading power in a gigantic European Combine — the Common Market.

  • Genesis Chapter 25
    Genesis Chapter 25 Verses 1-4: Abraham’s sons through Keturah (a concubine, verse 6; 1 Chron. 1:32), a wife of lower status than Sarah, became the progenitors of various Arab tribes to the east of Canaan. Genesis 25:1 "Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah." “Abraham took a wife”: Rather, "had taken"; for Keturah is called Abraham's concubine, or secondary wife. As for her bearing six sons to him, it is improbable that he married after Sarah's death; and also, as he sent them all out to seek their own independence, during his lifetime. It is clear that this marriage is related here out of its chronological order, merely to form a proper winding up of the patriarch's history. “Keturah”: She was a concubine and this suggests that she was alive when Sarah was living. Many of the names listed have already been identified with Arab tribes, fulfilling God’s promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations (17:4). "Keturah" means incense. I cannot believe that a man over 100 years old would even want to marry. Genesis 25:2 "And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah." "And she bare him Zimran": That Keturah should bear children who probably, was a young woman, is not strange; but that Abraham, whose body forty years before this was dead should now have any bore to him, may seem difficult to account for, and only can be attributed to the fresh vigor his body was endowed with at the generation of Isaac.

After the fall of Assyria by Babylon, what happened to the Assyrians? This nation seems to have vanished from History? Or did they? The Bible plainly says that Assyria will play a vital role in this end time. What happened to them? The book of Nahum shows that these people migrated NORTH in to the mountains towards Europe: “Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them” (3:18). The only mountains that are in the region of Assyria are the Caucasus Mountains between the Black and the Caspian Sea. The Assyrian nation was situated just SOUTH of those mountains, and it was often a place of refuge from danger. In the book of Kings the princes of Assyria took refuge there: “So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
