And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife."
Ten is the Number of condemnation and the Spirit uses here to condemn the foolishness of the couple called to be blessed in the Son. Entering into the rest of God is according to the Law of the Spirit. Circumstances and responding to it as man does not let you go off the hook. An open door may tempt a saint and it does not mean those who are called to be saints take it and escape the consequences. As we shall see the present day hatred in the Middle East politics riven between the Jews and Islam is a terrible error of judgment. God does not see difference as coming out of the loins of the same patrirarch and both are blessed. 'Thy seed' in his Son of course is what God seeks for His special favour. "nd as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation./But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year."(18.20-21). The Compound number 12 is of same weight as 12 tribes of Israel. Without entering into the Covenant between God and Man and the Word which was with God, they are heathens. Imposter churches were beguiled by Satan to embark on the Crusades on the behest of Pope Urban II in 1095. Had he known the difference between holy Jerusalem in heavenly places and Jerusalem where our Lord was crucified, he would not have embarked on such a foolhardy move. To indicate the law of sin operating on his seed the Spirit set the caveat; for that matter circumcision was instituted when Abraham was short of one year. "when Abram was ninety years old and nine,"(17.1) 10x10=100 years.
" and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: Jews and Moslems alike.
