'First-Born Blessings upon Ishmael' is a plea for realization of how abundantly the Lord God of Israel has blessed the Arab! Hopefully 'coaxing' Ishmael into a new respect and gratitude for the One who has so blessed him and his heritage! 'The Fear of the Lord' and 'The Wrath of God' are 'must-reads' for what is taking place today-world-wide! Thought-filled poetry should awaken many! What is Israel's birthright? Who does this tiny piece of real estate really belong to? Jews, Arabs and Christians alike are disillusioned and have been misled concerning this ancient nation! Outright fabrications have been made by those who are-and are not-ignorant of historical facts. The result: grievous misunderstandings, to the truth of exactly 'what belongs to whom' and 'why. Primary historical facts rather than supposition should bring to-those seeking truth-'thought-out' basic attitudes and responses to such! Essential changes must be put into action! It is time to realize the truth of the despicable forlorn empty cursed malarial swamps and treeless wasteland that Israel had become under 400 years of Turkish Ottoman control-and who it was with work and sweat and shed blood- that restored Israel to what she has become! It is time for the worlds' governments and 'people groups' to come together in dignity and justice to honor these truths and to join in the work of restoration of their inheritance unto the rightful heirs!
