Hagar's Descendents in bondage

Galatians chapter 4 talks about human will -v-  divine will. It mentions the descendents of Hagar being slave children of a slave mother. In the Aramaic text the words are different and slave woman is replaced with bondmaid. 


"He was who born of the bondmaid was born after the flesh; but he was born of the free-woman was born by promise. Now these things are a symbol of the two covenants, the one from Mount Sinai giving birth to bondage, which is Hagar. For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and surrenders to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But the Jerusalem which is above is free, and is the mother of us all."


"The children of the one in disfavor are more numerous than the children of the one who is favored. Now, we my brethen, are the children of promise, as we Isaac. But as then, he was born after the flesh persecuted him who was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless, what does the scripture say? Cast out the bondmaid and her son; for the son of the maidservant shall not inherit with the son of the free woman. So then, my brethen, we are not children of the maidservant but children of the free woman."


Those that are born of the Spirit stand firm in your liberty and freedom from captivity that Saudi Arabia would like to put you in. What religion came out of Saudi Arabia? Islam. 


Mount Sinai in Arabia? 



I do not agree with all of the above video because God did not ask for sacrifice, he asked for mercy.
