Islam believes Ishmael is the chosen son over Isaac despite what the Bible says about the seed of promise. Ishmael and Isaac represent the 2 spiritual seeds, children of the flesh in Ishmael vs, children of the promise in Isaac (Spirit). The children of the flesh through out history have persecuted the children of the Spirit, even so it is now as written.
What does the Lord say of Ishmael and his seed....
Genesis 16:11-12[SUP]11 [/SUP]And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
