In many ways, the current conflict between Israel and the Muslim nations, is a continuation of a conflict which began 4000 years ago - two families competing for the blessing of Abraham.  Isaac was the "son of promise" and the "son of faith", while Hagar's son Ishmael was the "son of unbelief" and the "son of human effort".  This conflict between these two descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael, ultimately will be demonstrated in a building central to Judaism and important to Islam.  "This building, known the world over as the "Dome of the Rock", or in Jewish circles, the "Temple Mount", will become the center focus in the end-times.

Abraham’s other descendents

The modern connection of Islam and Israel stretches back through time to our modern day. The confrontation was foreshadowed 4000-years ago in Genesis chapter 21.  In this scene, Sarah, Abraham’s wife, finally has the child promised by God, Isaac, his name means, laughter.  After the baby is weaned, which is normally about 9-month to 2-years after birth, there is a celebration.  During this celebration, Sarah sees Hagar the mother Ishmael scoffing at her and Isaac.  Sarah then demands Abraham cast Hagar and Ishmael out, to protect the inheritance of Isaac. Abraham agreed after God promised to look after Hagar and Ishmael, who are then sent away.

[It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely [a]injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it. – Zechariah 12:3 (NASB)]
