as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like
a man of war, he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against
his enemies" (Isaiah).
In connection with it there are two other prophecies
worthy of note where references have been made to Kedar.
The one runs thus in chapter 1x. of Isaiah: "Arise, shine for
thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon
thee ... The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the
dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall
come.. All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together
unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they
shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will
glorify the house of my glory" (1-7). The other prophecy
is again in Isaiah "The burden upon Arabia. In the
forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of
Dedanim. The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought
141
water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread
him that fled. For they fled from the swords and from
the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. For thus
hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the
years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall
fail: And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty
of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished" Read these
prophecies in Isaiah in the light of one in Deutero-
nomy which speaks of the shining forth of God from Paran.
If Ishmael inhabited the wilderness of Paran, where he gave
birth to Kedar, who is the ancestor of the Arabs; and if the
sons of Kedar had to receive revelation from God; if the
flocks of Kedar had to come up with acceptance to a Divine
altar to glorify "the house of my glory" where the darkness
had to cover the earth for some centuries, and then that very
land had to receive light from God; and if all the glory of
Kedar had to fail and the number of archers, the mighty men
of the children of Kedar, had to diminish within a year after
the one fled from the swords and from the bent bows - the
Holy One from Paran (Habakkuk iii 3 ) is no one else than
Prophet Muhammad. Prophet Muhammad is the holy offspring of
Ishmael through Kedar, who settled in the wilderness of Paran.
Muhammad is the only Prophet through whom the Arabs
received revelation at the time when the darkness had covered
the earth. Through him God shone from Paran, and Mecca
is the only place where the House of God is glorified and
the flocks of Kedar come with acceptance on its altar.
Prophet Muhammad was persecuted by his people and had to leave
Mecca. He was thirsty and fled from the drawn
a man of war, he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against
his enemies" (Isaiah).
