This five-minute radio script my husband and I was presented in Connellsville, PA., while he was serving as pastor of a church in that community.
Moderator: Sarah and Abraham were among God’s faithful servants. Abraham, because of his faith, was to be the father of nations, although he was childless. He was viewed as a father figure—dignified, firm in his faith, humane and respected by local rulers wherever he went.
Then God told Abraham: “Leave your home and travel (to continue reading this script click on ABRAHAM, SARAH, HAGAR and sons ISHMAEL and ISAAC )

Technically, Abraham was not the father of Ishmael. He was still named Abram, and Sarah, was still called Sarai. Then before Abram was told he would bare Isaac with Sarai. But that there names would be changed and then a year later Isaac was born. Now we all know the Abram was Abraham’s previous name and Sarah was Sarai’s previous name. Abraham, was told that his name was changed because it then meant that he would be the Father of many nations and would begat many Kings. Ishmael, also told by God that he would make a great nation, and begat many princes. I think sometimes this is why the naming of the the Father, and sons changed to protect them from each other for a while. However, Jacob was a direct descendant of Isaac and his name was later changed to Israel. Therefore, I believe the Nation and land in Israel, should only belong to the Jews and Christians.

Jews say that Ishael is not the firtborn because Haggar was not Abraham’s wife. That would mean there are not 12 tribes of Israel, since Jacob’s wife was Rachael (the others were tricks, Leah, or handmaids). So how many tribes of Israel come from Jacobs only true wife?
