Re: Please explain...n/m

Although that particular verse you're asking about is a prophecy about how the Messiah would crush Satan, it adequately describes the hostility between the Jews and Arabs.

Here is the beginning of the hostility from Genesis 25:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
19 This is the account of Abraham's son Isaac.

Abraham became the father of Isaac, 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram and sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. The LORD answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. 22 The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, "Why is this happening to me?" So she went to inquire of the LORD .
23 The LORD said to her,

"Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger."

24 When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb. 25 The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau. 26 After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.
27 The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob was a quiet man, staying among the tents. 28 Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

So the babies, Jacob and Esau, were fighting in their mother's womb, and fought each other most of their lives. The fire was fueled also by the fact that Dad preferred Esau and Mom preferred Jacob, a sure recipe for sibling rivalry.

The Bible clearly shows Jacob as being heir of the promise to Abraham, but Muslims claim that honor for Esau. Yet Esau knowingly and willingly sold his birthright.

This rivalry has continued and intensified in every generation. It will never stop until Armageddon at the end of the Tribulation ("the time of JACOB's trouble"), so we must never be fooled into thinking there will be peace in the Middle East before then.
