According to Abraham

Abraham, Sarah and Hagar   (1897 Bible illustration)
According to Abraham, Father really does know best.  When Yahweh asked him to drop everything and yield to the will of God, Abraham obeyed. 

This eventually resulted in three major Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.  To say the least, there have been times when the three were at odds.  Yet there have also been encouraging events, one of which occurred recently.

An Israeli-Arab Negev Summit forum was held this week in order to strengthen bonds that began with the 2020 Abraham Accords.  In attendance were representatives from Israel, the United States, “Egypt, Morocco, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.”  It was agreed that such meetings would be regularly rotated “among the participating countries.”
