The Psalm 83 War has only just begun part four

What are the modern names of the nations of both the Edomites and the Ismaelites? The modern nation of both the Moabites and the Ammonities is the nation of Jordan, which directly boarders with Israel, and has been involved in conflicts with it. Present-day Edom is located in the southern region of the modern day Jordan. The descendants of Esau, who is associated with Edom, in the Bible are not believed to have been destroyed. Whatever happened to the Ishmaelities? The Ismaelities were a collection of various Arab tribes, tribal confederations and small kingdoms described in Abrahamic tradition as being descendant from Ishmael. Ishmael was of mixed racial backgrounds. His own father, Abraham was the founding Hebrew patriarch, founder of many nations. Whereas, his Egyptian mother, Hagar was an Egyptian bond maiden to Abraham's legal wife Sarah. [ Esau was noted to take a wife from from the Ismaelitis and the descendants of both Esau and Ishmael frequently intermarried with one another.] The "Arabized Arabs" of central, western and North Arabia, descending from Ishmael, the eldest son of Abraham, [but not his legal heir because his mother, Hagar, was the Egyptian bond servant of Abraham's legal wife, Sarah. The son of a bond servant had no legal claim to the blessings of Abraham nor to any of his inheritance.] [But GOD made a separate convenient for him through his mother, Hagar.] Through his descendants of Adar. Such is the ancient tribe of Hawazion or the modern day tribe of Otaibah and Mutayle. Was Ishmael an ancestor to the Muslim, Prophet of Muhammad the founder of the religion of, Islam? Ismael is recognized by Muslims as the ancestor of several northern prominent Arab tribes and the forefather of Adan, the ancestor of Muhammad was the descendant of Ishmael who would establish a great nation. Part of the modern-day conflict started with two twin brothers of Esau and Jacob. First Jacob took the first born blessings from Esau for a bowel of lintel soup be cause of his hunger. Second, coached by his mother Rebekah, he disguised himself as Esau and took away his first born birth right. Esau vowed to kill Jacob just as soon as their father Issac was dead. Another part started between Sarah and her Egyptian bond servant, Hagar. Sarah gave her to her husband, Abraham, and she conceived and bore his first born son, Ishmael.
