"Hagar's Son: A Prophecy of Greatness."

Genesis 16:12 describes a prophecy given by an angel to Hagar, the maidservant of Sarah, the wife of Abraham. In this verse, the angel predicts the future of the son that Hagar would bear to Abraham, named Ishmael. The prophecy states:

"He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward all his brothers."

This description symbolizes Ishmael's future as a man of independence and strength, but also one who would live in conflict and hostility with others. It foretells a life marked by struggle and discord, both with others and within himself.
