To the descendants of Ishmael, God gave the huge territory (about 1,200,000 square miles, much of which includes vast oil fields which the western industrialized world is highly dependent upon) all around the land of Israel, while to the descendants of Isaac, God gave the relatively tiny land of Israel - from Dan to Beersheba, and from The Jordan River to The Mediterranean Sea (approximately 8,000 square miles, only about 1/150th of the area given to the descendants of Ishmael). The God-commanded territory of the Israelites includes all of Samaria, all of Judea, and all of Jerusalem - every last square inch of it.

Arabs were well-known through Bible History:

• After the Exodus, the Israelites spent forty years in Arabia during the Wilderness Journey. During that time, Moses received The Ten Commandments from Lord (see Rock Of Ages) at Mount Sinai in Arabia.

• Arabians opposed Nehemiah's rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 2:19, 4:7, 6:1) (see also Temples)

• King Solomon carried on considerable trade with Arabia (1 Kings 10:15, 2 Chronicles 9:14, 17:11).

• Paul spent time in Arabia after his conversion On The Road To Damascus (Galatians 1:17).

Fact Finder: Were Arabians present in Jerusalem at the "birthday of the church" Pentecost, making them among the earliest of Christian converts?
