| be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to the Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, Zalmuna: Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. O my God, make them like a wheel; as stubble before the wind. As a fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord. Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." Sounds like the battle lines are clearly defined between those on the Lord's side and those opposed, the trichotomous versus the dichotomous. In further chapters I will set forth some of the players mentioned above, whom I have not yet placed with scripture such as the Edomites. I have previously elicited, but not expanded on Genesis 10:14 showing that Ham sired Mizraim, who sired Casluhim, who sired Philistim, the father of the Philistines, located in present day Palestine. Though the Philistines figure prominently in the history of the nation of Israel, little more can be found in scripture regarding the genealogy of the Philistines, and apparently their exile was related to that of Ham. Ishmael, with his intelligence and strength, had to be one of the leaders who started and planned this rebellion against God's plan for the land of Canaan that finally prompted Asaph to write the 83rd Psalm. In fact, it would appear, from verse 14 that the counsel came from Ishmael, Esau, Lot, and Hagar. 79 ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ |
