The whole thing is about useful stooges.
Remember where the scripture says Ishmael would be a 'wild man'?
- Genesis 16:12;
[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.
In other words his progeny would be contrary to all around them.
Oh,........but Satan wouldn't know that..........?
That's just that Ole' Testa'-mant that don't 'mount to 'nuttin'....
how many christians have you heard repeat the same thing?
Paul said somebody else was contrary to all men.
t'weren't ishmael.
