Readers -

My other post has to do with the connection between Ishmael and the number 527.
It attempts to make a case for the AC being from the bloodline of Ishmael.

Strong's 527 hebrew =

"amown {aw-mone'} a variation for 01995; TWOT - 116L; n m AV - multitude 2, populous 1; 3 1) artificer, architect, master workman 2) (CLBL) throng, multitude"

It's not the 527 word I'm interested in. It's the verses that it appears in. There are three of them, and two of them have a common theme. Actually a common city name.

go here for the list:

The two verse with the commonality are:

Jeremiah 46:25
"The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him: ..."

and

Nahum 3:8
"Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?"

Did you see it? It's the city of No, in Egypt. This city is also known as Thebes.

Ishamel's mother Hagar was from what country?

Hagar was an Egyptian.

Genesis 16:1
"Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar."

This means Ishmael is half Egyptian.

If the AC is from the line of Ishmael, then the AC's mother is probably an Egyptian.

That might leave certain AC candidates out.

Remember from above, the 527h word is NOT the city name No (Thebes), but the "link" that connects to chains (verses) together that have to do with a common topic. This paired themed verse pattern is prominent in God's Word - or so it appears to me.
