THE SONS OF KETURAH – ISLAM IN PROPHECY

Is the Prophet Mohammed in Scripture?

Yes he is. He is called the 'Blessed Guide'. But he is no blessing.

The Biblical account of Keturah will explain this. There was a marriage problem between
Abraham and Sarah. We don't know if due to her age Sarah lost interest or rebuffed Abraham
for other reasons, but we know they stopped sleeping together. To meet his physical and
emotional needs, Abraham took a concubine named Keturah and fathered children by her.

Some translations of Genesis 25 verse 1 say “Abraham took another wife, whose name was
Keturah”. This is a mistranslation. The Hebrew word in this verse is ‘ishshah’ which means
‘woman’. It can mean ‘wife’ in some contexts but not in this context.

We know Keturah was not the wife of Abraham because it is written in verse 5 and verse 6:
“Abraham left everything to Isaac. But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his
concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the East”. The Hebrew word
is ‘piylegesh’ and it has the unmistakable meaning of ‘concubine’ or ‘paramour’.

The image above is of a belly-dancer, a harlot of Arabia. You will notice the harlot has her face
covered by a veil. According to the Bible, wearing a full-face veil is the mark of a harlot.
Concerning another harlot, Tamar, the Bible says: “she took off her widow’s clothes, covered
herself with a veil to disguise herself, and then sat down at the entrance to Enaim…” (Genesis
38:13). “When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.”
(Genesis 38:15). The reason why Arab men are so entranced with belly dancers is the only flesh
they can see is the belly – the face is hidden!

As if to honor Keturah, even today the daughters of Islam wear a veil. Christian women are
taught to wear a head-covering to honor their husband (1 Cor. 11:1-16) not a face-covering.

The Hebrew word ‘Keturah’ means 'incense'. Keturah was a devoted female consort to
Abraham: she worshiped the ground Abraham walked on, so to speak. Incense in the Bible
speaks of worship. It is hard for any man to resist a woman with feelings like that. Abraham
was blessed, or so he perceived.

Keturah had six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah (Gen. 25 v 2). Here
are the Hebrew meanings of their names in order: "musician", "snarer", "contention", "strife",
"he releases", "wealth".

The six sons represent the prophetic destiny of the descendants of Keturah in the Arab
peninsula:

"musician"+"snarer" - A seductive trap and a snare: false religion (Zimran & Jokshan)
"contention"+"strife" - A thorn in the side of God's holy people (Medan & Midian)
"he releases"+"wealth" - A fortune of untold proportions [oil riches] (Ishbak & Shuah)

The gematria of the names of the sons of Keturah in order are: 297, 460, 94, 104, 412, and 314.
The meaning of the spiritual numbers in order is: "Holy Temple" (Zimran), "Wanton Crimes"
(Jokshan), "Proud Humbled" (Medan), "No Spiritual Witness" (Midian), "Tribe Restored"
(Ishbak), and "No God in Israel" (Shuah).

Today we find a 'holy temple' in the land of the East, the Ka'aba in Mecca. This lines up with
'musician and snarer' of the false religion of Zimran and Jokshan. The descendants of this line
of brothers will lead us to Mohammed.

Figuratively, Midian is the boy in the picture that is not wearing any cap. Christian men are admonished in
Scripture not to cover the head (1 Cor. 11:3-4) because covering the head is a symbol being under authority to a
man. Christians are under the authority of God not men. Midianites were converted to Jehovah through the
preaching of Moses (Genesis 18:10). However, when the Midianites allied with Moab to fight against Israel God
completely destroyed them (Numbers 31). And so no worshippers of Jehovah are left among the sons of Keturah.

The image below is the ‘holy temple’ of Islam, known as the Ka’aba, or ‘cube’ (Arabic). Inside
the Ka’aba is the sacred ‘black stone’ that the Moslems of the world bow down to. Once in
their life Moslems are commanded to sojourn to Mecca to walk in a circle around the Ka’aba
seven times. Some will be permitted to enter the Ka’aba to kiss the black stone.2

The Japanese scholar Imoti contends that there were many similar Ka’aba sanctuaries in Arabia
at one time, but this was the only one built of stone. The others also allegedly had their own
sacred stones. There was a "red stone", the deity of the south Arabian city of Ghaiman, and the
"white stone" in the Ka’aba of al-Abalat, near the city of Tabala south of Mecca. The
experience of divinity of that period was often associated with stone fetishes, mountains,
special rock formations, or trees of strange growth.3

Those who worship sacred stones are mocked in the Bible: “Saying to a rock, ‘Thou art my
father’ and to a stone, ‘Thou hast brought me forth’; for they have turned their back [side] unto
me, and not their face.” (Jeremiah 2:27). And when a Moslem bows down to pray to the black
stone in the Ka’aba, does he not lift up his backside and expose the soles of his feet to God?

A Westerner will understand how offensive it is to turn one’s backside up into another person’s
face, but in the Middle East to expose the soles of the feet is considered grossly offensive.

Does not kissing a black stone harken to the vanity of having sex with a harlot, whose heart is stone towards you?

The descendants of Jokshan were Sheba and Dedan (Gen. 25 v.3). Figuratively, the man on the
left is Sheba, and the man on the right is Dedan.

In Hebrew, Sheba means "Oath" (Honor) and Dedan means "Low Country" (Despised). Put
together the names mean ‘Honor Despised’. For a few coins the harlot sells her honor.

In spiritual numbers, the gematria of Sheba is 303 which means 'Strong Opponent' and the
gematria of Dedan is 58 which means 'Worldly'. Add the gematria of Sheba and Dedan
together, it is 361 which means 'Great Harlot'. The sons of Keturah indeed!

The spiritual numbers are telling us that out of the descendants of Keturah will come a 'Great
Opponent' of the people of God, a 'Worldly' people who will snare unsuspecting souls into the
trap of a religion, or a 'Great Harlot'.

For those who are not yet aware: all religions are harlots. Catholicism is a harlot.
Protestantism is a harlot. Islam is a harlot. These houses of earthly priesthoods replace the
holiness of a sacred communion with God, represented by the marriage of Sarah and Abraham,
with a purely carnal and fleshly experience, represented by the lust of the sex bed of Abraham
and Keturah. Spirituality and religion must never be confused. They are as far apart as a
married wife and a prostitute on the side. Dear child of God: flee from religion! Seek a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ! Enjoy Him. Delight in Him. Honor Him. Do not honor a harlot.
As Solomon warned “Her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead”.

The spiritual numbers indicate that from the descendants of Keturah will come a 'Great Harlot',
in other words, a great religion. Is it the Great Harlot of Revelations? Perhaps it is. But that
question is beyond the scope of this paper.

Sheba became the country of Saudi Arabia. We know because in Ezekiel 27 the goods of Sheba
were described as “spices, precious stones, and gold”. Gold speaks of royalty. Spices speak of
riches. Precious stones speak of the idolatrous black rock that is kept in the Ka'aba in Mecca.
The Queen of Sheba is an example of that royal line in ancient times. She visited Jerusalem and
threw money around and complimented Solomon for his wisdom, but she never converted to
the worship of Jehovah. She returned to her land and continued in her idolatry.

If you are King of Sheba, you live in luxury to this day!

Did you notice that Arabs did not descend from Keturah? Arabs descended from Ishmael, who
was the son of Hagar, who also slept with Abraham (and at the suggestion of Sarah!). Arabs are
the poor peasants that sweep the streets for the royalty.

The Saudis are the royalty of Sheba; the aristocracy that rules over the Arabs. But they
themselves are not Arabs. If you think this strange consider that the royal house that rules
England is not British. The British royal family represents the 'blue blood' of France. They are
the descendants of William the Conqueror, who was a Norman from Normandy, France.

Who is Dedan then? Dedan is the "Low Country" or the "Low Life". It speaks of all the tribes of
the land of the East who submit to and serve the royal family of Sheba. Let’s explore the
descendants of Dedan and see if we can find Mohamed.

The descendants of Dedan were three sons: Asshuri, Letushi, and Leumi (Gen.25 v.3). They
became tribes: Asshurim, Letushim, and Leumim.

The meaning of the names of the three sons of Dedan in Hebrew are: "Blessed Guide",
"Hammered", and "Peoples". The gematria of the three names are 547 [101st prime], 401, and
127. The spiritual meanings of the gematria of the three names are: 'Rebels Cast Out'(101), 'O
Lord Save Us!'(401), and 'Spiritual Sons'(127).

We propose that Asshurim is prophetic of the 'prophet' Mohamed, that Mohamed is the
'Blessed Guide' that would come out of the Arabian Peninsula. Or, you might say the ‘Blessed
Guide’ is the Quran (also known as Koran), the ‘holy book’ of Islam, which he dictated.

Put the Hebrew meanings of the names of the three sons of Dedan together and it says:
"Blessed Guide (Mohamed)" "Hammers" (conquers) "the Peoples" (unbelievers). This is
exactly what happened in history. Although Mohamed claimed to be a prophet of God, he was
not. He was a warrior who conquered by the sword, not by the word of God. His descendants
carried his torch of jihad and scorched all of the Middle East and North Africa with it.

What about the spiritual numbers of the names of the three grandsons of Ketura? They speak
of the final prophetic purpose of the sons of Keturah in history.

Keturah kicked Sarah out of the marriage bed. The descendants of Keturah will kick the
Christians out of the Middle East, the place God chose for making covenant.

Now we know why the Crusades led by the Catholic kings could not liberate Palestine!

The Bible expressly teaches that Sarah is a prophetic type of the true believers in Jesus Christ
(Galatians 4:21-31). That prophetic interpretation cannot be disputed. It is sealed in Scripture.

Sarah refused to sleep with Abraham: she refused to honor the marriage bed of her covenant
with Abraham. This is prophetic of the last days, when Christians will refuse to worship Jesus in
spirit and truth, meet together humbly in small gatherings in homes, and love one another
dearly as family. Instead they will congregate in resplendent meeting houses ruled over by
earthly priests in holy vestments and sit in pews, aloof from one another. Abomination!

The spiritual number of Asshurim is 547 [101st prime] which means 'Rebels Cast Out'. God will
use the Moslems to kick the worldly religious Christians out of the Middle East. They are rebels
to God's words in the New Testament: the gospel. Religion has become the Christian’s idolatry.

Even today before our eyes Moslems jihadis are blowing up Christian sanctuaries and temples
in the Middle East and driving the Christians out. Although we sympathize with the suffering of
those poor people, when will they realise God is judging them for the sin of religious harlotry?

Yes, in the last days God is going to use the descendants of Mohammed, the 'Blessed Guide', to
cast out the 'Spiritual Sons' (127 = Christians).

Why should any Christian mourn if temples built by human hands are destroyed? Jesus said:
“My kingdom is not of this world”. The Christian place of worship is in heaven, not on earth.
mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com

Why can’t Christians and Moslems dwell together in the same land? Because Keturah is a
jealous lover! The spiritual number of the Hebrew letters of ‘Keturah’ is 320 which means
‘Shout of Victory’. Once Sarah lets Keturah into the marriage bed – how will she get her out?

Why is it that God permits the Moslems to kick the Christians out? Because God is a jealous
lover! When the Christians bow down to earthly priests, institutional religion becomes a rival, a
contender with the pure love of God. Religion steals the worship, the wonder, and the face
time that otherwise Christians would give to the God who saved us.

What will you do Christian to stop this madness: the march of Islam across the earth? Will you
repent of your religious ways and serve the living God? Or will you allow the slaves of Islam, the
servants of the Saudis to invade and conquer your land? You decide this day who you will serve:
the true God above, the God of Heaven, or the god below, the god of the 'Low Country'
(institutional religion).

We pray you will choose to honor Jesus as your Lord, not religious men. And we pray God grant
you strength when the harlot persecutes you.
