Intentional Destruction

The sons of Ishmael can be, like our current President, genetically descended from Ishmael. Others, for instance, the equally incompetent former President Carter, are “spiritual” sons of his. Either way, the spiritual and genetic sons of Ishmael spend their lives doing as much damage as they can to those around them.

We can see that Caesar strengthened Rome, and that Nero did what he could to weaken it. While Nero was not a Canaanite, and his wife was Jewish, he favored the destruction of all that was in favor of truth and love. He was, spiritually, a son of Ishmael.

Just as many Christians are not descended from Jewish Tribes (though Catholic Fundamentalism holds that most European nations and those descended from them have that ancestry, dating partly from the relocation of the Ten Northern Tribes in 720B.C.), most Ishmaelites in Europe and America are not lineally descended from Ishmael.

They just adopt his Cain-like hatred of their brothers, and the lies that come from it, as a way of life. The sons of Ishmael in our own nations promote abortion, birth control, euthanasia, deficit spending, bankrupting nations, weakened defense, environmentalism, and all the lies there are.

Those who follow Ishmael do as he did in Genesis 25, 18: “He set himself to destroy his brothers.” His “brothers” are, first, the other children of Abraham, who were many throughout the Middle East, and those who shared the beliefs that would encompass the prophets who correctly predicted the coming of Jesus Christ.

In the final analysis, the degree of affinity with Ishmael can be quantified by the love or hate that a person has for Christ.
