TRANSCRIPT:

(Prayer first).

I have done teachings on Vayera (Vaera) for many years, and this year I am not going to go chapter by chapter and scripture by scripture. I have a topic that I believe YHVH laid on my heart. It’s “The Saga of Sarah and Hagar”.

When we look back from the end of this teaching, we will find that their saga did not end in Genesis. Their lives and spirits still impact the world today. The events in Revelation, as I’ve said many times before wrap up everything that started in the beginning. The prophecies of Genesis began to unfold very quickly even by the the end of the Book of Genesis and then in all of the history YHVH’s nation called Israel, and the formation of which began and was formalized in Exodus. We see that the prophecies did not have any delay in getting started. They even started with Jacob’s family fulfilling in the end of Genesis what YHVH told Abraham in Genesis 15 – that his family would go to Egypt. And then, of course, Exodus is all about Israel. So events in Genesis started patterns and cycles that won’t stop, and have not stopped, until the only One who is able to stop them comes to stop them – and that, of course, is Yeshua.

One of the earliest prophecies of Genesis that does have continuing patterns, that I will show you from scripture, results in conflict, and that conflict ends in the Book of Revelation. This particular conflict is in the story of Sarah and Hagar. Yes, Sarah and Hagar both show up in the end of days.

Hagar shows up in various places in scripture kind of like a bad thread deliberately woven into a cloth. Here are some of those instances.

Saul had war with the Hagarites, the descendants of Hagar, in 1 Chronicles 5:10 and the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh had war with them in 1 Chronicles 5:18-20. Psalm 83:6 has the Hagarenes (the same people as the Hagarites) allied with Edom, Ishmael and Moab in war against Israel. These are not just random battles. Notice, though, that it is Ishmael’s mother, Hagar, who name appears in these conflicts.

Psalm 83:6 says, “The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites”.

The Ishmaelites and Hagrites have the same mother but Hagar is listed separately from Ishmael. Why is this? It is because Hagar has a different fate and destiny than Ishmael which will only be completed in the end of days.

And then you have David employing a descendant of Hagar in his court, one that supervised his flocks in 1 Chronicles 27:31. Here again, we see a separation between Ishmael and Hagar, a necessary separation, I might add.

Paul knew about Hagar and what she represented and explained her in Galatians when he said:

Galatians 4:21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law? 

Now, I have addressed this seemingly unintelligible sentence in the past. Paul’s words have been subjected to bad English translation. (Whether it’s deliberate or not, and I happen to think that it is, but we can debate that later). Paul speaks about 2 laws throughout his letters. One which is “law”, the Greek word ‘nomos’, and the other that says “the law”, the Greek words which create a phrase, ‘ho nomos’, or “the law”. Paul makes a distinction between these 2 different laws by adding the word ‘ho’, “the” in English, to one of those laws. The Greek word “nomos” written alone refers to the oral law which is also called “Talmud”. The Greek phrase, “ho nomos”, means “the law”, it is the Torah of YHVH. Paul speaks negatively about the Talmud and positively about the Torah.

So now, let’s go back to Mount Sinai now because Paul makes it clear that there was a law that came from Mount Sinai and there was a law that came from Jerusalem.

Twelve-tribed Israel was given YHVH’s law that existed before the creation of the earth which was centered in the area called Salem. That law was given to 12-tribed Israel. This area had been the place of YHVH’s Temple from which He planted a garden eastward in the beginning of Genesis 2 and 3. Thus, this area – whether Salem or Jerusalem – has always been the place from which the Torah of YHVH went forth on the earth and it will be from there that His law will go forth in the future.

But there was a different law which also began at Mount Sinai. This law continued with Israel from that time to this. This law is unlawful for us. Only the Torah, as given by YHVH, is lawful. This other law is not lawful. In Paul’s time, the only people practicing Hagar’s religious spirit were the Jews. This law, I will show you this, was given to Israel by the spirit of Hagar which had remained with Israel from the time that she was in Abraham’s camp. Now today, her spirit is in the 3 Abrahamic religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Hagar created religion in 12-tribed Israel with the golden calf. I will show you that, too.

Religion is rebellion and is as the sin of witchcraft against YHVH, and it is this concept that Paul was trying to explain which is the difference between religion and Kingdom.

Galatians 4:22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman. 

The servant was Hagar. The free woman was Sarah. We will find out in this Torah Portion that Hagar’s son began warring against Sarah’s son in order to inherit Abraham’s heritage. We’ll see this in Genesis 21:9.

Galatians 4:23 However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise. 
Galatians 4:24 These things contain an allegory [says Paul], for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar. 

There were 2 covenants made at Mount Sinai. Just as there were 2 laws that came from Mount Sinai, the Talmud and the Torah, there were 2 covenants that came from those different law sets. Which covenant bore the Israelites to bondage? The one they made with the golden calf. Don’t confuse the later covenant renewals that YHVH made with the Israelites as being part of the 2 covenants Paul speaks about. The Israelites covenanted both with YHVH and with Hathor’s calf, Apis.

Galatians 4:25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children. 

Hagar which is Mount Sinai answers to Jerusalem. Notice that Mount Sinai is in Arabia, not in the land of promise. Jerusalem is in the land of promise. But Hagar, the Talmud, is the bondage for those who adhere to it. And all religious law is bondage to those who adhere to it.  Jerusalem’s children are not in bondage. Sarah’s children are not in bondage. Hagar’s children are in bondage.

Hagar was an Egyptian servant in Abraham’s household where she had influence. The Israelites in Egypt came under her religious influence. It was at Mount Sinai where their choice between religion and Kingdom was made. They chose religion. The Israelites chose bondage, Hagar and her Egyptian religion, which is why Paul says the bondservant, Hagar, represents Mount Sinai. The Talmud and other religious is the law of religion. The Torah is the law of YHVH’s Kingdom. So it is religion vs Kingdom. Hagar vs Sarah. Ishmael vs Isaac.

Hagar has no place in YHVH’s coming Kingdom and she will be destroyed, but Ishmael has a promise: His descendants do have a place in YHVH’s Kingdom, according to Isaiah 60:7 and elsewhere, which we’ll go over.

Isaiah 60:7 All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you [Jerusalem (I am inserting Jerusalem there)]. The rams of Nebaioth will serve you [Jerusalem (because that is about the people in Jerusalem being restored and all of that)]. They will be accepted as offerings on my altar; and I will beautify my glorious house. 

No, back to Galatians 4:26, but I want to first tell you that Kedar and Nebaioth are the 2 oldest sons of Ishmael. So, they’re going to doing offerings on YHVH’s altar and they are going to be accepted “as” offerings on YHVH’s altar.

Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all. 

That word “above” can mean in authority over. It can also mean “in the Heavenly realm”. The Spirit of our earthly capital, Jerusalem, is from YHVH’s realm, the Heavenly one. Jerusalem is our mother. Sarah is the earthly representative of the Spirit of Jerusalem.

Galatians 4:27 For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who doesn’t bear. Break out and shout, you that doesn’’t travail. For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has a husband.” 

Israel, like Sarah, has been barren. Sarah was barren for 99 years but Israel has been barren for 3500 years. Why? Because religion cannot give birth to YHVH’s Kingdom. Only faith, faithfulness and circumcision of the heart gives birth to the Kingdom. Hagar is religion. Sarah is Kingdom.

Gal 4:28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 

Isaac, of course, was born of Sarah’s Kingdom spirit.

Gal 4:29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now. 

Ishmael was born from Abraham’s faith, heart circumcised Kingdom spirit and Hagar’s religious spirit. So Abraham’s situation was faithful to YHVH but Hagar’s religious spirit was in there, as well. Can you imagine the war going on inside of Ishmael? But Ishmael has a chance at being in the Kingdom if he can get away from his mother! So, in this Torah Portion, we see that it is the son of religion who wants to kill the son of the Kingdom.

Gen 21:9 Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking. 

He was mocking Isaac. “Mocking” is the same word that was used when Sarah laughed because she lacked faith. It is Strong’s H6711, tsâchaq, meaning to laugh outright (in merriment or scorn). Jasher gives us further information on what Ishmael meant toward Isaac when this happened.

Jasher 21:12 And God was with Ishmael the son of Abraham, and he grew up, and he learned to use the bow and became an archer.
Jasher 21:13 And when Isaac was five years old he was sitting with Ishmael at the door of the tent.
Jasher 21:14 And Ishmael came to Isaac and seated himself opposite to him, and he took the bow and drew it and put the arrow in it, and intended to slay Isaac.

In whatever spirit Sarah laughed, at the announcement that she would bear a son, we can be certain that Ishmael laughed at Isaac with scorn. So remember, what happened in the beginning will happen again at the end. Ishmael, the son born of Hagar’s religion, will try to kill Isaac, the son born of Sarah’s Kingdom spirit.

Paul has advice for those in bondage to religion in Galatians 4:30:

Gal 4:30 However what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.” 

So now, insert religion for the words “servant and her son” and for “son of the servant”. And insert “Kingdom” for the words “with the son of the free woman”. Here it is:

“Throw out the Talmud, for the Talmud will not inherit the Kingdom.”

That is what Paul was saying. Of course, we have 2 other religions from Hagar now – Christianity and Islam. So “throw out the religion, for the religion will not inherit the Kingdom.”

Gal 4:31 So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.

You see, servant’s children cannot inherit and they certainly cannot inherit the Kingdom. The Kingdom will be population by the free woman’s children.

At Mount Sinai, Hagar’s Egyptian religious spirit among the Israelites resurrected Hathor’s calf after YHVH had killed Hathor and her calf. But there is another choice – Yeshua and His Kingdom! The result of choosing Yeshua is freedom from Egypt! This is why the first commandment is:

Exo 20:1 God spoke all these words, saying, 
Exo 20:2 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 
Exo 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 

The first commandment is to know it is YHVH frees us from Egypt! We’re still trying to be freed from Egypt right now! Yeshua frees us from Hagar, from religion! Instead of us being religious adherents, we are citizens of Yeshua’s Kingdom, a people with the only real and lasting nationality that will exist in the future.

Sarah was barren until she was so old that no one thought she would ever bear a son. This sentiment of barrenness and bearing no children is now laid on Biblical Israel. But she, allegorically Sarah and in actuality Biblical Israel (those of us who understand and live by the Kingdom), is about to give birth. Revelation 12:5 is the prophecy of Sarah, Israel, giving birth to the man child, the Kingdom in the end of days.

I want to clear up another matter regarding Sarah. Contrary to the teaching of religious people, Sarah did not sin when she gave Hagar to Abram. That was not Sarah’s flesh “getting in the way” or “meddling with YHVH’s plan”. Rather, she was fulfilling her ANEC duty, her covenant duty to give Abram, to give Abram a child. It was not Sarah that caused the problem, but Hagar, the conflict. It was Hagar that caused that conflict. The accusations of the religious enemy are many and come from all sides.

Furthermore, Abram did not refuse Sarah’s concubine. He also was of that culture where children were begotten by surrogates. The ANEC of this is that wives had 1 year to become pregnant. If she did not conceive, it was cause for divorce. Abram, as a type of Yeshua, stuck with his bride in her barrenness the way that Yeshua has stuck with His Bride in our barrenness. So, both Sarah and Abram were doing their duty the best they knew how to fulfill YHVH’s command to multiply, in Genesis 1 and 2, which then became both culture and law in the ancient Near East.

Abram believed Ishmael could inherit the promises because surrogate sons were in line for such inheritance in households at that time. YHVH insisted that Ishmael was not the son of inheritance. Why? Because the mother must be a righteous, the mother must be Kingdom woman, an equal to Abraham who also was Torah-obedient! Because Abraham was Torah obedient, we know that Sarah was.

YHVH allowed the cultural fulfillment to happen in Ishmael. Also, Abram was so attuned to YHVH’s voice that had Abram heard YHVH say “do not enter Hagar’s tent”, Abram would not have entered.

We can speculate why YHVH allowed this mess to begin with Abraham when YHVH intended to create a righteous Kingdom from Abraham. I believe, and this is my personal belief. YHVH was creating a situation wherein people would have to choose between religion and Kingdom until the end of days when He returns to stop the process. In fact, YHVh says that He creates the good and the evil.

Now, back to Mount Sinai. I want to lighten up this situation some more and give you more information. There is a parallel between Hagar the mother and her son Ishmael with Hathor the mother and her son Apis. In Egypt, bulls, male bovines, were the most worshiped animal, not mother cows. So there is a significance that it was Hathor’s calf that was selected here. The similarity of Hagar with her son to the mother cow and her son has significance.

Also, Hagar was a forerunner of Jezebel in Israel. Hagar and Jezebel are kindred spirits from Babylon’s Semiramis and Jezebel’s spirit that later showed up in Israel long after Hagar was gone before Jezebel came around. Religious women with the spirit of Semiramis rise to power, usually, by pushing a man to a position of power. This spirit understands that she, herself, can never be in the first place of power so she works hard to be in the second place from where she can rule through manipulation behind the scenes. In ancient times, mothers vied for position in kings’ courts trying to put their sons in succession to be king. The account of Abraham and Sarah has such a problem of a woman who wants her son to succeed Abraham. Semiramis and Jezebel’s spirits should be called “Hagar”.

So, Hagar kept her place of power in Abraham’s family by infiltrating Jacob’s people, the descendants of Abraham and Isaac, in Egypt and then causing them to worship a calf which represented Hagar’s son, Ishmael. The tribes then continued in the covenant they made with Hathor and her calf while Hagar’s spirit continued rule Israel behind the scenes. It was because of Hagar’s religious spirit contaminating Israel that the Jews worshiped Semiramis, the original queen of heaven who had then become the Egyptian Ishtar, on Temple Mount in Jeremiah 44:15-19.

These 2 systems, Egypt and Babylon, merged in Israel. they didn’t merge in the end of days. They merged back then in Israel through Hagar’s religion which came from Mount Sinai through the golden calf. Hagar, then, became the harlot spirit, the whore behind the scenes, within Jacob’s household.

Religion, despises faithful and dutiful Sarah, who represents the Kingdom. Hagar has continued rising to power from then to now with the hope of putting Ishmael on the throne. Her spirit is in every doctrine of man from Judaism to Christianity to Islam. Coming soon, Hagar will have more power than she has ever had before, and she will attempt, once again, to have Ishmael kill Isaac by destroying his offspring that comes from Jacob.

Ishmael has a place in YHVH’s Kingdom, as I said, but it’s just not as the promised son.

Gen 21:12 God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight [that Ishmael is being cast away from Abraham’s household] because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice.

…You want to always listen to the Kingdom voice, folks, not the religious voice.

…For your offspring will be named through Isaac. 

Who was the offspring that was named through Isaac? Jacob!

Gen 21:13 I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.” 

Hagar does not have a place in YHVH’s Kingdom. Here’s why.

Genesis 21:17 God heard the voice of the boy…

The verse before that says Hagar cried out. In the next verse, it says God heard the voice of the boy, not Hagar.

…The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. 

So God heard Ishmael’s voice, not Hagar’s.

Genesis 21:18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.” 

YHVH will make of Ishmael a great nation because, according to verse 13, YHVH told Abraham that his son, Ishmael, would have a place in the future Kingdom because he is Abraham’s son. Now, we will probably talk about this later, but yes, those Ishmaelites will circumcise their hearts. They will be like Abraham.

Hathor’s calf is no longer a calf. It is now a full-grown beast, a religious beast described in Revelation 13:11. It is the beast that comes out of Jerusalem, the beast that comes out of the 3 religions, namely Judaism with the Talmud, Christianity with its perversions and Islam with all of the ways that Islam is wrong.

Revelation 13:11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon. Talk about perversion!

The 2 horns are the 2 religions that claim the lamb. Christianity claims the lamb in its perverted way through the religion of Babylon’s queen of heaven, Mary, which is also Egypt’s Ishtar. You see, the queen of heaven just keeps changing her identity through history. Judaism also claims the lamb in its perverted way by denying the power of the lamb, denying and rejecting Yeshua who IS the lamb. And now, Hagar is riding this religious beast that she created at Mount Sinai.

Revelation 17:3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. 
Revelation 17:4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the fornication of the earth. 
Revelation 17:5 And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” 

The word “mystery” is a reference to Egypt’s mystery religions. And then there is the great Babylon and a mother of prostitutes. Who is this mother? Hagar – representing the queen of heaven who remained with Israel, because of her, for all of her history, 3500 years, which Hagar perpetuated among the Israelites while they were in Egypt, and when they got to Mount Sinai, during the history of Israel’s kings and who now shows up riding the beast of Revelation 17 as Jerusalem’s whore. This whore must be the one who comes from Abraham’s people which, by the way, is the claim of Jews – that they are from Abraham. Hagar is still mixed in with them in more ways than one. Jerusalem’s whore is someone from within the household. The whore is not an external entity that has attacked an conquered the Jews, such as Semiramis.

Hagar did not start as a whore. She started as a servant who became a concubine, a surrogate mother, who wants the surrogate son, Ishmael, to inherit Abraham’s kingdom. Sarah was correct when she told Abraham in Genesis 21:10: …“Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.” 

You see in that moment, Sarah was speaking with the Kingdom voice which is why YHVH said to Abraham, “Don’t let this disturb you”.

By the end of days, Hagar’s Egyptian and Babylonian spirit, will be so strong in Jerusalem that it will be she who rides the beast.

Again, I repeat, Ishmael will not be removed from Abraham. He will be given a place with Abraham, but his mother will be destroyed. All through scripture, Hagar remains but she starts to not remain as Ishmael’s mother, as I told you. Little by little, Ishmael separates from his mother. She only remains known by the people who call themselves Hagrites or Hagarenes, and not as Ishmael’s mother. So, the separation of Ishmael from Hagar had already begun back then. And that separation will lead Ishmael in the arms of Abraham and he will circumcise his heart! You see…

So, there will be a separation of Ishmael from Hagar which will be complete in the end of days and Ishmael will be inherit A place with Abraham in the Kingdom, but it will not be THE place, Isaac’s place, the place that Hagar wants for her son. Ishmael’s descendants will be in Yeshua’s Kingdom just as they were in David’s court in 1 Chronicles 27:31.

YHVH cursed Ishmael in Genesis 16:12 by saying that Ishmael would be a wild man who is against all his brethren. Now, YHVH has used Ishmael to create Islam. YHVH chose to use Islam against His people to bring them into captivity the way He chose to use Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome to opposed His people. The 7^th beast of Revelation 17 is Islam. Ishmael has been fulfilling YHVH’s curse toward him since Genesis 16:12. YHVH allowed the creation of Islam from Ishmael for His own purposes. Now, Ishmael’s mother must go and, ironically, it will be her own offspring at the end of days who will kill her.

Revelation 17:9  Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 
Revelation 17:10  They are seven kings. Five have fallen [Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece], the one is [the one that John was living in which was Rome], the other has not yet come [the next empire to rise after Rome was Islam]. When he comes, he must continue a little while. 
Revelation 17:11  The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction. 

All of the former seven will imbue the 8^th beast with elements of themselves.

Revelation 17:12  The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet [in John’s time], but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour. 

The ten Islamic Caliphates, 3 of which were Shi’ite Caliphates that were plucked up by the Sunnis, were prophesied in Daniel prophesied in Daniel 7:8.

Revelation 17:13  These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast. 

So, there is another beast that this beast will give authority to.

Revelation 17:14  These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and those who are with him are called chosen and faithful.” 
Revelation 17:15  He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. 
Revelation 17:16  The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute…

Who is the prostitute? Hagar. The religious people that came from Hagar. The beast in Revelation 17 that this beast gives it power to – that beast which is in Revelation 13 (it talks about there in 13 that YHVH will give it power and authority to overcome the saints) – so this Revelation 17 beast gives its authority to the beast in Revelation 13. These will hate Hagar, the whore, and…

… will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire. 

So, again, Islam with its 10 horns – Islam which came from Ishmael for YHVH’s purpose – will hate Hagar the whore and will destroy her in the end.

Revelation 17:17  For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished. 

YHVH put it in their hearts to do so. Why? Because it will be time for Ishmael to inherit his place with Abraham.

Revelation 17:18  The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.”

Jerusalem is the city that is called “great city” the most in scripture. Hagar made Jerusalem into a whore. She will get her chance to reign over Jerusalem through the Jewish Talmud and the Christian perversions of the Kingdom but her son will never reign in Jerusalem. However, the Muslims are doing all they can to hang onto Jerusalem, aren’t they? The death of Hagar and her infernal religious spirit is the fly in the ointment and the familiar face in Israel. But Yeshua’s Kingdom will destroy the power of religion that blinds and deafens the people.

Before I close, let me move on to this next thing. We will read in the next Torah Portion that Abraham remarried after Sarah’s death. There is a debate about Abraham’s other wife, Keturah. Who was she? Some say Keturah was Hagar. Let me tell you why Hagar is not Keturah.

Abraham was an honorable man who loved Sarah with all of his heart. Quite simply, Abraham would not have dishonored Sarah by marrying her archrival! Just as Yeshua won’t marry Hagar instead of Israel, neither would Abraham have done that.

Those who perpetuate this notion, along with other lies that they tell, like that Jacob was a deceiver, are Edomites. Edomites were forcibly converted to Judaism in 135BC under the Maccabee, John Hyrcanus. I have spoken about this many times. Esau is also mixed into Ishmael through marriage in Genesis 18:9. So truthfully, when we are speaking about Ishmael, we need to know that Esau is in there and, when we speak about Esau, we need to know that Ishmael is in there! You see? These people seek to discredit and destroy the family that YHVH gave Abraham through Isaac and Jacob thus discrediting and destroying all Israel in the process.

Many years ago, I began to teach that if we are children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we need to uphold their reputations. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were not liars or cowards, and Jacob did not deceive Isaac nor did he steal Esau’s blessing or birthright. These are accusations of Esau and Ishmael against Jacob. I will have more on that later during the Torah Portion Toldot. There are clues in there that tell us exactly what was going on with Isaac’s blessing of Jacob. I believe it’s Toldot.

Wrapping up: You now know the significance of the conflict that started in Genesis between Sarah and Hagar and how it gets wrapped up in the end of days. It is more than just a story, just an aside, this “just happened”. It is a powerful prophecy and promise –  this is the more important part of this because it is a promise that the Kingdom will overcome religion after almost 4,000 years of continued conflict between these 2 women and their offspring. In the end, Jerusalem will no longer be the site of conflict.

May we all rid ourselves of the wicked, rebellious, religious spirit of Hagar and be like Sarah, righteous Kingdom citizens obeying YHVH’s law.
