Harry,
The Black Arabian people that I am speaking about are Black Americans. Technically, Saudi Arabia is West Africa. The Aden Rift and Red Sea Rift separated Africa from Arabia, although the two were once part of the same landmass. The rifting was caused by Africa being displaced 200 kilometers south and west of its original position.
The Black Arab nations are descended from Ishmael, the son of Abraham, who lived about four thousand years ago in the Middle East. The Jews are descended from Isaac, another son of Abraham. Thus these two peoples, Arab and Jew, so often at loggerheads, have Abraham as their common ancestor. Disunity, however, has not prevented the Arabs from making their impact on the world. Islam has changed the course of history and its rise was prophesied in the Bible.
Ishmael's mother was an Egyptian called Hagar and an angel spoke to her about the character of her son before he was born. It was the first prophecy about the Arabs. He said:
"Behold, thou art with child, and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael...and he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him" (Genesis 16:11-12).
Wildness and inter-tribal conflict have characterized the Arabs throughout their history. Many of them, like the Bedouins, have lived nomadic lives. Attempts to unite the Arab world have always been frustrated by their own fiercely independent behavior and their propensity to engage in long and bloody feuds.
Prophet Muhammad was one such member of the Black Arabian nation whose rise to prominence was foreseen in Revelation Chapter 9 as "a star fallen from heaven unto the earth".
"To him was given (by God) the keys of the bottomless pit (Arabia) out of which "arose a smoke" (the militant followers of Prophet Muhammad) who "darkened" the Roman "sun" by afflicting her rulers (Revelation 9:2).
"It was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth neither any green thing neither any tree" (almost word for word the instructions of Abubeker, Prophet Muhammad's successor, to his troops), "but only those who have not the seal of God in their foreheads" (ie. did not believe in the unity of God, as Muslims believe). (Revelation 9:4).
"They had hair as the hair of women" (the long, flowing hair of the Saracens)..."and their breastplates were of iron" (the famous Arab warrior cuirasses). (Revelation 8:9).
