You have it correct Dee, but some just don't "get it". Before Abraham there were no Jews..no Arabs..just tribes; remenants.. left overs when Nimrod's great tower and plan was obliterated at Babel. Truly it is a spiritual war..and will finally be settled by spiritual forces..
I read the same book Dee, and as a blacksmith..I like to share this little poem..short, but bearing the absolute trruth:
*************************************************************************************************
The Anvil Of God's Word
Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith's door
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
When looking in, I saw upon the floor,
Old hammers worn with beating years of time.
"How many anvils have you had," said I,
"To wear and batter these hammers so?"
"Just one," said he; then with a twinkling eye,
"The anvil wears the hammers out, you know."
And so, I thought, the anvil of God's Word,
For ages, skeptics blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil is unharmed - the hammers gone.
