3
Abram was married to Sarai and they had no
children.
4
When Abram was 75 years old, God told him to move
his family to the promise land.
5
God promised Abram1. He and his children could
have all the land
6

• 2. His family will become a great nation.
• 3. He will have more children and grandchildren
  than the stars in the sky.

7
Sarai tells Abram to have a baby with Hagar (her
maid). His name is Ishmael.
8
Sarai got mad and kicked Hagar and Ishmael out of
the house.
9
Later God promises Saria that she will have a
baby too. She names the baby Isaac.
10

• So which child is Abrahams heir (person who
  inherits his stuff)?

???
11
This question is still a problem today.
12
Ishmael is the heir because he is the firstborn
child!
13
Isaac is the heir because he is the son of Sarah
(Abrahams wife)!
14
Fast forward a few 100 years to a man named Moses.
15
One day God told Moses to take Isaacs
descendants out of Egypt to the Promise Land.
16
This was the same land God had promised to Abram.
17
A few years later the Holy Roman Empire took over
the land and ran out all of the Jewish people.
18
After that the Ottoman Empire (who were Muslims)
took over the land.
19
Fast forward a few 100 years to World War I.
20
Great Britain promises to give the Jews their
land back.
21
After the war they decided not to give the Jews
the land.
22
After World War II the United Nations created the
country of Israel because they felt bad about the
Holocaust.
23
We dont want any more people here, especially if
they are Jewish.
24
We are not leaving! In fact we are taking the
Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
