Kedar – The Prince of Ishmael

The Prince of Ishmael

This article is written with a spirit of love, and is not intended to insult the religion of Islam, but to teach the truth and spread the love of Christ by that truth.

Muslims say that Muhammad’s coming is prophesied by the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 42, in particular, verse 11, in which Kedar is mentioned.  In order to get the true meaning or idea of a verse, you must study what it says before and after the verse, as well as understand the history behind it.
