Bill Clinton's Lust and Pharaoh's Lust Defeated by ALLAH's GraceDeeply woven into the fabric of ALLAH's character are Compassion, Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness. ALLAH's Grace Defeated Pharaoh's LustYes, ALLAH's abundant grace triumphed over the Pharaohs' greedy lust. The lust of the mighty leader of the then great Kingdom of Egypt for the wealthy Hebrew Patriarch's beautiful wife was soundly defeated by ALLAH's own expansive grace. Amazingly, ALLAH's grace was set in motion by the Pharaoh's lust which ended up causing the Pharaoh to feel obligated to not take back a gift he had given to Abraham for the privilege of potentially sleeping with Abraham's wife whom he had been deceitfully led to believe that she was only Abraham's sister. (Significantly, the Genesis account leaves it unclear whether the Pharaoh did sleep with Sarah or not but Genesis does quote the words of Pharaoh angrily saying to Abraham: Why did you say to me, 'She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife?'? So the fact that the Pharaoh had given a lovely young Egyptian woman named Hagar to Abraham for the privilege of having his sister, who was really his wife, come to live with Pharaoh in the Royal Palace set into motion ALLAH's Mighty Grace. For after Pharaoh discovered the beautiful woman was not only Abraham's sister but also his wife, he could not humiliate himself by taking the beautiful Hagar gift back. But when the Pharaoh discovered he had Abraham's wife living in his Royal Palace, he angrily told Abraham to leave and take his wife and all of his possessions with him. But few Christians, Muslims or Jews realize the great hidden benefit and great blessing that Hagar, (a lonely woman whom ALLAH dearly loved,) brought to not only Abraham by giving him a beloved son Ishmael, but giving Ishmael quality grandchildren who themselves greatly contributed to helping Joseph save the whole Jewish race. If it had not been for the lust of Pharaoh for Abraham's beautiful wife, the gift of lovely Hagar to Abraham and to his wife Sarah would not have been given. Thus, there would not have been a beloved son Ishmael from Abraham's second wife Hagar. So Hagar enabled Ishmael to have grandchildren merchants or the whole Jewish extended family would have been so broken up by the severe seven year famine that they could have never formed a nation. So if Hagar's caring great grandchildren by Hagar and Abraham had not assisted Joseph to save the extended family of Jacob/Israel there would not be a Jewish nation in the Mid East today. So it there were to be no Jewish nation, there would not today be a Jewish racist supremist group operating in a land known as Israel with very wealthy Jewish benefactors like Birthright Israel. This racist group for no cost will teach young yet unmarried Jews to hate the descendants of the very Arabs who saved them. And these Birthright Israel supporters shamelessly worship the idol of a virtually stolen piece of land named after Abraham's grandchild Jacob/Israel who raised ten murderous sons who almost murdered their younger brother. But the younger brother remained alive because he was rescued and aided by the ancestors of the very Arabs that the wealthy Jews are currently teaching young Jews to hate. Nevertheless, I will later reveal in this paper how the evil, unappreciative, arrogant, racist group, Birthright Israel will itself be finally overwhelmed by ALLAH's own amazing grace. At that time the evil this racist group is now doing, ALLAH will triumphantly turn into a great benefit for the entire Muslim world, the Umma. So if it had not been for the lust of Pharaoh for Abraham's beautiful wife, the gift of lovely Hagar to Abraham and to his wife Sarah would not have been given. Thus, there would not have been a beloved son Ishmael from Abraham's second wife Hagar. So Hagar enabled Ishmael to have grand children merchants who not only rescued their relative Joseph from his ten murderous brothers, but who also definitely paved the way with their business associates in Egypt, so that Joseph would later be in an employment position to save the entire extended Jacob/Israel family from either dying in a seven year famine or almost being entirely wiped out. ALLAH's Grace Defeated Bill Clinton's LustYes, ALLAH's Abundant Grace also cleansed President Bill Clinton from his lust for a young Jewish White House Intern. Like the lust of the Pharaoh for Hebrew Sarah, was empowered by God's Grace to turn out for good, Bill Clinton's lust for that intern was defeated by ALLAH's Grace. It flowed like a mighty river through the forgiving Risen Bethlehem man whom the Qur'an eleven times honors as Messiah. Therefore, because ALLAH's abundant Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness was revealed through His Risen Messiah to former Bill Clinton, he has become a virtually new cleansed man. Since his mighty lustful stumble he has become a compassionate humanitarian selflessly serving especially the poor and others who have been the victims of catastrophes. ALLAH's Grace Defeated Ten Murderous Israeli BrothersYes, ALLAH's Grace also triumphed over ten murderous sons of Jacob/Israel who even kidnapped women and children. These ten brothers are chiefly associated with the almost murder of their younger, now famous brother Joseph. But two of the older brothers of Joseph, in cold blood vengefully murdered every last man of Head man Hamor's entire city. It was made possible for only the two brothers to do this because the devious older brothers had tricked all of the men of the small city to perform a crude circumcision on each other so each and every one of them were circumcised. But on the third day after the minor home-done circumcision surgery, when the men were extremely sore, a massacre happened to the unsuspecting, trusting men of the city. Since there was no modern medication to relieve the great pain of the men, the devious two brothers, with their razor sharp swords quietly snuck into each and every home. They quickly but silently murdered every man in the entire city. Soon all of the older ten brothers wickedly agreed together to kidnap every woman and child of the entire city, loot all of the houses and even steal every farm animal they owned. Treacherously, it was only a few years later with blood still dripping from the two sword wielding murderous brothers' hands, the older brothers with the exception of Reuben again made murderous plans to even murder their own younger but God fearing brother Joseph. But in order to gain money through getting rid of him they changed their plans for him to instead permanently disappear in the large nation of Egypt when they sold him to Ishmaelite merchants. But those sinister plans were permanently defeated by ALLAH when He unexpectedly revealed His own Compassion through the grandchildren of Ishmael. (Ishmael was the under the Jewish Covenant of Circumcision). Wonderfully, they were moral grandchildren in contrast to Jewish Jacob/Israelis immoral, murderous, kidnapping sons except for the two youngest, Joseph and Benjamin. So Ishmael's caring merchant Arab/Egyptian grandchildren safely delivered Joseph to Egypt not long after he had almost been an additional bloody victim of his own murderous brothers. But his safe delivery to Egypt by ALLAH through Ishmael's caring grandchildren merchants laid the foundation for the badly emotionally wounded Joseph to be put into the appropriate position in Egypt. Then, after additional trials and betrayals, through ALLAH's empowerment the almost murdered Joseph became the de facto Ruler of Egypt and eventually saved all of Israel. But Joseph's vengeful older brothers' plans for Joseph to be swallowed by the virtual quicksand of vast Egypt would have been successful if ALLAH's magnificent Grace had not triumphed through Arab Ishmael's compassionate Arab grandchildren. This kindness was in contrast to the murders and kidnappings that defined the characters of the older brothers of Joseph. Yes, the falsely accused of rape and slandered Joseph, with ALLAH's empowerment and guidance became the Savior/Ruler of Egypt. As the Savior/Ruler of Egypt, he definitely was used by ALLAH to prevent the extinction of the Jewish race. So the grace of ALLAH shining brightly through the helpfulness and mercy of Ishmael's grandchildren and Egyptian Hagar's great grandchildren overwhelmed the murder and kidnapping style of ten of Jacob/Israel's often immoral children. ALLAH's Grace Defeated Arab Egyptian Hagar's ExploitationYes, ALLAH Grace triumphed over the misery, isolation and loneliness of an Egyptian maid named Hagar, meaning stranger. She was a lovely young woman who was given away as a gift, which was in a way a one-time payment for a loan of Abraham's beautiful wife Sarah to satisfy the Pharaoh's abundant lust. Quite probably the Pharaoh or no one else asked the attractive young Hagar if she would like to be given away as a compensation gift to compensate for her Pharaoh's lust. Yes, what would her answer have been to this question? Would you like to leave one of the most luxurious cities in the entire world at that time to live in the tents of a somewhat nomadic Hebrew couple and be the personal attendant of a somewhat demanding wife who has a beauty that everyone raves about? The answer would have probably been an emphatic, No! But that decision was quite likely not her decision but the decision of others. So lonely, young Egyptian Hagar set off to a new land to serve a strange woman and her patriarch husband, neither of whom she barely knew. But she was trusted enough by matriarch Sarah to become Abraham's second wife in order to give him a child. She did give him a child, a male child, Ishmael. Sarah did not appreciate Hagar's new confidence which Sarah easily later interpreted as insolence. Sarah then made life so miserable for the now pregnant Hagar that Hagar ran away from their tent home even though the cruel desert would likely mean death for her and her soon to be born child. But Hagar and her soon new born son were to be far too important to ALLAH and to the future of the Hebrew people to lose Hagar's service and significance to ALLAH. So ALLAH sent his angel to find her whom the Scripture refers to both as the LORD and as the Angel of the LORD. ALLAH's Personal Communication with Arab Hagar
In the context of ALLAH being One, I will not attempt to be a theologian and attempt to explain how the Angel of the LORD who appeared to Hagar was to her the GOD who sees her. When she gave him a name she said You are the GOD who sees me. But the bottom line is this. This maid who was not Hebrew but was Egyptian was special to ALLAH. That though He allowed her to endure lonely misery, He (ALLAH) was so special to Hagar and her son. She would be so special to ALLAH that when Hagar had seen the Angel of the LORD, in her finite mind, she had been in an encounter with GOD. So Hagar, the maid of Sarah and Abraham, may not have seemed special to Abraham but to GOD she was special. And her accomplishments would also be special. So we will now go to her next communication with the Angel of the LORD. The setting is seventeen or so years later when Sarah was having a feast celebrating the weaning of Ishmael's much younger brother Isaac. Apparently young teenager Ishmael was jealous of all the attention the much younger brother Isaac was receiving and was teasing or mocking Isaac which is relatively normal for a teenager to do when someone else is receiving the attention that they themselves would enjoy. But the mocking was quite unappreciated by Sarah so it became the proverbial straw that broke the camels back in her relationship to Abraham, Hagar and Ishmael. And apparently Sarah was even worried about Abraham's inheritance going partly to Ishmael because Abraham was now over 100. So Sarah's angry demand to her husband triggered by the mocking incident even included the severe put down term slave woman not once but twice in order to crudely stereotype Arab Egyptian Hagar who had become her own husband's second wife. So Sarah probably shouted these words so loud at Abraham that the angry words probably could have been heard by the camels outside. Get rid of that slave woman and her son, (not your son) for that slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with my son, (not our son) Isaac. So GOD intervened because Abraham was exceptionally distressed to be ordered by Sarah to get rid of Ishmael who had been his only beloved son for about a decade, and also to be ordered to send Hagar away to whom he also obviously felt strong attachment. So GOD became involved in this situation in a very interesting way. On the one hand He communicated with Abraham that he did not need to be so distressed about sending them both away. But on the other hand, though He did not share this next event with Abraham, GOD would arrange a special intervention by the Angel of the LORD to make certain that the precious, vulnerable Hagar would be both safe and reassured. Also, that the Angel of the LORD would give Hagar a special promise about her young son Ishmael's wonderful future destiny. This news from an Angel would thrill any mother. But especially would that exciting news from GOD encourage a harassed woman who came from a maidservant background. Hagar and her son Ishmael were virtually lost in the desert and were also dying of thirst when the Angel of GOD gently spoke to her, this time from heaven. He reassuringly told her not to be afraid. He also said that GOD has heard the boy crying as he lies there. (Remember, Ishmael's name means: GOD hears. The Angel of the LORD further said: Lift the boy up and take him by the hand for I will make him into a great nation. GOD making Ishmael into a great nation is what GOD had also previously promised Abraham about Ishmael's future. But the indications seem to be that GOD had not yet shared that important promise with either Hagar or Sarah. (I personally think that the Angel of the LORD was speaking of Ishmael's descendants becoming the great nation of Islam when it was at its zenith.) Then it is written in Genesis 21, that GOD opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. And the next verse further indicates GOD great care for Hagar's son Ishmael. GOD was with the boy as he grew up. The next way the marvelous Grace of GOD triumphed in this humble former maidservant's life was this. Though she may not have still been living when it occurred. Because both Ishmael and his mother Hagar had notable personal experiences, there are many reasons to believe that a strong personal heritage of GOD awareness was passed on to Ishmael's children and then to his grandchildren who became merchants who frequently traveled to Egypt. If there is doubt about a Godly heritage being passed to the grandchildren consider these known facts and there were probably also other unknown similar facts. I know of no other woman in the Scripture except for Egyptian Hagar who had two such personal impacting conversations with the Angel of the LORD who told her about future events in her life and who also twice saved her life. Then, considering Ishmael's amazing spiritual heritage from his mother, consider these factors:
Ishmael heard again and again and again by his beloved mother Hagar about her wonderful encounters with the Angel of the LORD and repeatedly heard her explain to him all the promises the Angel gave her about Ishmael's exciting future. Therefore, there is little chance that Ishmael's grandchildren did not hear these personal, powerful accounts passed from the great-grandmother Hagar to Ishmael and to his Egyptian wife and on to the merchant grandchildren of Ishmael. They were classified as Ishmaelites in Genesis 37. But they could just as well have been called the Godly great grandchildren of Hagar and the Godly grandchildren of GOD Hears. And remember, in those days stories such as those were told over and over because their was no T.V., radio, movies, sports programs, books, commercials or anything else to detract from family story telling. The wonderful triumph of grace that I am presenting the background for in the life of the humble maid from Egypt who had once been given as a present so that a rich Pharaoh would have a shot at satisfying his own lust for beautiful Sarah is this. The intensely personal experiences with GOD that both Hagar and Ishmael went through, provided the firm foundation for her great-grandchildren and Ishmael's grandchildren merchants to accomplish something very wonderful in the plan of GOD for man. For you see it has been very important in the plan of GOD through the seed of Abraham to provide a virgin born son who would be the symbolic lamb of GOD who in Yahya/John the Baptist's words would take away the sin of the world. But that plan came very close to being sabotaged by three converging factors. One factor was that except for his two youngest sons, the other ten sons were murderous and were kidnappers. The second factor was that a seven year famine was coming that would devastate the whole region. Therefore, unless someone could find out about the famine coming and make emergency plans to get through the famine with minimum loss of life rather than maximum loss of life the Jacob/Israel family would not be able to produce a Messiah who would be born of a virgin and who also would defeat wickedness and even death itself. And the third very negative factor was that not only were the ten brothers murderous and kidnappers. But now, because of jealousy, nine of the ten brothers wanted to murder the one and only godly brother, Joseph. So what was GOD to do to save Joseph from his murderous brothers and also to save Israel? Yes! You should have guessed the answer. GOD had been, since Egyptian/Arab Hagar entered the Hebrew family, preparing the groundwork for the Godly grandchildren to rescue almost murdered distant cousin Joseph. So they were the ones that GOD's Grace used to nurture him back to emotional health after almost being murdered by his own brothers. They most certainly bonded with him on the long hot trip to Egypt. Since they were already relatives they had sympathy for him because of the way they saw his own brothers treating him. Then they used their many Egyptian connections to help him get an appropriate position that actually had connections with the Pharaoh. So Joseph is given the credit for saving the extended family of Jacob/Israel from famine. But ALLAH's Grace revealed through Arab/Egyptian Hagar through her Arab/Egyptian grandchildren, must receive as much credit because of ALLAH's Grace, for saving the nation of Israel today as Joseph receives. And that my Muslim Arab brothers and sisters is the story behind the story of how GOD used Arabs to empower Joseph to save Israel. So in a practical manner of speaking, without the Godly great-grandchildren of Hagar who were the grandchildren of God Hears, there would be no Israel today and no Qur'an's Risen Messiah. ALLAH's Grace Defeats W. Bush's Wickedness toward MuslimsYes, Grace will soon triumph over George W. Bush's wickedness. Former President Bush is a vivid example of evil being conquered by Grace. So there will be a final defeat of the former impulsive, uniformed, power hungry President George W. Bush. Here was a hungry for war with Muslims President who was never reluctant to use U.S. military power in order to murder innocent Iraqi Muslims. The evil, arrogant attitude of the U.S. President toward the innocent Muslims and toward some Christians of Iraq was truly shameful. But his needless massacres and disfiguring mutilations of so many multitudes of innocent Iraqis will ultimately be defeated by ALLAH's Grace. Yet, nothing can ever erase the horrible rivers of blood that he needlessly and thoughtlessly caused to flow. Though immeasurably wicked, these bloody massacres of so many thousands of innocent men, women, the elderly and children will be used by ALLAH to finally shock compassionate Muslim leaders to ask themselves this critical question. Given the fact that a man named Saddam, who the hateful, vengeful President Bush intensely hated, since Bush was President of our nation, was there anything that the U.S. could have done differently to have prevented the Bush monster along with his Muslim hating Neo-cons from considering our wonderful nation as their personal weapon to use to murder Muslims? And my answer is yes! He is the Qur'an's Risen Messiah who can slow down the U.S. war machine. The answer is in the Qur'an's own Al-Im'ran 3:55. The misunderstood verse of An-Nisa 4:157 has all Muslims wrongly thinking that the Qur'an's Risen Messiah did not die and rise from death. But since he truly did, ALLAH in His amazing mercy straightens out the misunderstanding surrounding the complex An-Nisa 4:157 with its damnable man-invented change of identity fairytale that has come to be associated with the verse. And this fairytale, as it is virtually now worshipped as an idol, prevents Muslims from accepting the Qur'an's Risen Messiah. But the sad fact about current male Muslim leaders is this. They are more interested in being dominant over women and the prestige of being a Muslim leader, than they are about saving the lives of tens of thousands of Muslims by making public the truth of the Qur'an's Al-Im'ran 3:55 about the fact that ALLAH Himself gave his sacred promise to the precious Messiah of the Qur'an that he would most certainly raise him from death to new life. But it is vitally important to get the teaching of Al-Im'ran 3:55 correct so that Muslims will welcome the Qur'an's Risen Messiah into their hearts and into their Mosques rather than treating him like a contagious leper. Significantly, it is taught clearly in the Qur'an's Al-Ma'idah 5:110 and Al-Im'ran 3:49 that ALLAH Himself empowered the Qur'an's Messiah to compassionately heal lepers. But Muslim leaders must consider themselves superior to ALLAH. Because they won't allow the Imam's of the Mosques to permit the Qur'an's Risen Messiah who desires to live in the Muslims' hearts to enter the Mosques. So the Muslim who believes in the Qur'an's Messiah is himself also treated as a leper. Rather than welcoming a brother Muslim believer who loves the same Risen Messiah whom the Qur'an tells us healed the lepers is also excluded from the Mosques. ALLAH will finally judge both the leaders and Imam's for not allowing Muslim friends of the Living Messiah to enter the Mosques and instead treats their own Muslim brothers as though they are contagious lepers. But Muslim leaders will soon realize that the next bloody hateful war monger who may be similar to George W. Bush at least will partly be prevented from murdering when Muslims believe Al-Im'ran 3:55's message of the Qur'an's Risen Messiah. When that enlightened realization occurs, the doors of thousands of Mosques throughout the Middle East will open to the Qur'an's Messiah. And so this will beautifully demonstrate that ALLAH's Grace not only triumphs over the lust of a Pharaoh and the lust of a President, over hateful Jewish brothers who are murderers and kidnappers, over the abuse heaped on a lonely Egyptian maidservant named Hagar who was sent with her son ALLLAH Hears (Ishmael) out to the desert to die, but that His abundant Grace will also triumph over an evil U.S. President who committed massacres against innocent Iraqis. When the doors of the hundreds or thousands of Middle East Mosques swing open to the Qur'an's Risen Messiah of Al-Im'ran 3:55, the ubiquitous U.S. weapons and the rage of the U.S. Neo Cons against Muslims and the ignorant power of a U.S. President such as George W. Bush, will have been overwhelmed by ALLAH and the Qur'an's Risen Messiah's amazing Grace. ALLAH's Grace Will Defeat Birthright Israel's Brainwashing CrusadeYes, ALLAH's amazing Grace will soon triumph over the evil brainwashing crusade of a current Zionist organization named Birthright Israel. For a comprehensive overview of what Birthright Israel's goals are and how they go about accomplishing what I would classify as anti-Arab goals and anti-GOD goals and pro Idol worship goals, you will need a professional person who actually attended one of their free workshops presented in Israel. Since my brief paper will be biased, I will not mention the author's name. But the article was in the double issue of the July 4/11, 2011 The Nation entitled, The Romance of Birthright Israel. The line underneath the title of the article reads: How U.S. funders and Israeli politicians are creating the next generation of American Zionists. What I truly became aware of from the content of the article is how much of ALLAH's abundant Grace is needed to overcome the way the organizers unapologetically, openly and arrogantly teach both hate for Arabs and Palestinians and emphasize the Jews superiority to Palestinians. Then, I contrasted the uniformed attitude of the wealthy Jewish organizers and funders with what I have learned from my study of their own Torah's book of Genesis. This study has informed me about the significance of the role of Egyptian/Arab Hagar, half Egyptian/Arab Ishmael (meaning GOD Hears) and the role of Godly, moral, caring great-grandsons and grandson merchants of Hagar and Ishmael in rescuing and psychologically healing Joseph before he reached Egypt. I became all the more irritated with the contemptible, arrogant, ungrateful, hateful attitude of these men for filling the heads of unsuspecting 18 to 21 year old American Jews with the worship of the land of Israel as an idol and as a replacement for GOD Himself. Because the truth is that GOD Himself allowed the circumstances in Genesis to work out where the bad guys (ten of Joseph's older brothers) were both murderers and kidnappers even before they conspired together to murder their own younger brother Joseph. For a shocking enlightenment on how devious these arrogant, murderous brothers could be, please read Genesis 34 of how they savagely murdered every last male in an entire city and then kidnapped every wife, mother, single woman and child in the entire city. So these are the honored Jewish ancestors of the new arrogant, wealthy supporters and professional brain washers of the 18-26 year old American Jews. For two weeks they unsuspectingly submit themselves to this brainwashing by wealthy Jewish businessmen whose own lives were ironically saved by the grandchildren of Ishmael and the great-grandchildren of Hagar. Because Ishmael's grandchildren had a major role in saving Joseph who saved the extended family of his dad, (first named Jacob then later named Israel) from famine. So the way that GOD allowed the whole real history scenario to work out is this. Though the grandchildren merchant are only referred to three times in Genesis 37:25-28, as Ishmaelites, from researching the Godly heritage they had through their great-grandmom Hagar, and their great-granddad, Ishmael, (GOD hears) you soon realize that these relatives who were merchants who rescued him and took him to Egypt were very likely quality persons. This is in great contrast to his murderer and kidnapper brothers whom he had been unblessed to live with every day. So the long and short of it is this. Because of the way that GOD allowed events to unfold with that extended family, if it had not been for the constructive intervention of the descendant of Arab/Egyptian Hagar and Ishmael, Joseph would not have been rescued in order to save the family of Israel today. Thus, there would be no land of Israel to be blasphemously worshipped today or no people of Israel (the Jews) to both worship the land of Israel and to hate the Arabs who saved them so that they are even living today. But now comes ALLAH's great triumph of Grace over the wicked, unethical brainwashing by the political/Zionist organization known as Birthright Israel. Very, very soon, when wise Muslim leaders begin realizing the underhanded psychological warfare that these very wealthy Zionists in Birthright Israel are waging against Arab Muslims through their racist organization, they will soon realize this reality. By Muslim leaders continuing to ignore Al-Im'ran 3:55 about the Qur'an's Messiah being risen and accessible to Muslims and to continue to lock the Qur'an's Risen Messiah out of both Islam and all of its thousands of mosques. Muslim leaders are begging the murderous ancestors of the murderous brothers of Joseph to attempt to figuratively cut off the head of the Qur'an's Risen Messiah and then to hand his head to AIPAC on a silver platter. But, because of ALLAH's wonderful Grace the doors of the Mosques will soon swing open to the Messiah who has bloody knuckles from knocking at the unanswered doors for so long. But his knuckles will heal and the Zionist's will wail as soon as the Qur'an's Messiah begins being allowed to enter the Mosques. Thus, Birthright Israel loses. In victorious contrast to what is shamefully occurring now the Qur'an's Messiah will be encouraged to warm embrace Muslims. ALLAH's Al-Imran 3:55 Grace Will Defeat Muslims' Identity Switch LieThis triumph of grace was already commented on. But in summary, ALLAH will never allow a man-made identity switch lie to triumph over His own sacred Word. Therefore, the time will soon arrive in the Muslim Middle East that each Mosque will soon invite the Qur'an's Risen Messiah to always enjoy a presence with Muslims.
