We are considering the life of Abraham from the manner the Spirit of God has set out the will of God."And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."( Gen.1.2) Referring to the Covenant we have God referring to it, "And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;" (9.9) He is referring to the generations after generations after Noah, his seed which by faith. So the Spirit of God moves upon the generations where faith connects Abraham of his seed. Ishmael also is the seed of Abraham and God blesses him also. What of Reuben, the eldest son of Jacob, "Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch." The generation after Noah hit a bad patch as we have dark ages in the history of man. The golden age of Arabs began by default since their prophet instituted Islam as the third way. He had seen the Jews and Christian monks in their most licentious practices to want a different approach to their Maker. "And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is./Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation."(Gen.21.17-18) God can yet work and make them His people and reject the perfidious nation of Israel.
We shall study the nations from the Bible as a narrative to indicate the iniquity of Amoritites shall only go from bad to worse. So judgment of the cities mentioned in Rev.11.8 beginning with Sodom,Egypt Jerusalem and finally Babylon is the thread holding them. In other words the blessing enshrined in the Covenant gives us a parallel account where New Jerusalem and Zion is the city that God has promised, and none other.
