Shalom!
There is a wonderful revelation the Lord has revealed concerning Abrahm, Israel's remnant, and the 86th Psalm. It is an undeniable numeric and theological relation having far reaching implications.
The Lord revealed those in Israel who clung to the Law, while fefusing to believe what the Law said about the Messiah, were cast out of God's household, having no inheritance. These were, because of unbelief, 'not My people.' But there was a remnant in Judah the Lord called out and formed His Church. These were tthe 'sons of the promise', children of Sarah.
The Lord says in Hosea, 'I will no longer have compassion on Israel, but I will show compassion to Judah.' We know Scripture teaches 'only the remnant will return.' Was the Church, drawn mainly from Judah, this remnant? And was this 'all Israel' Paul speaks of in Romans 11?
Israel split from Judah and became known as the northern kingdom. But thier rebellion continued beyond this until God removed them from being a nation. He cast them out, no longer having compassion on them. But He promised there would be a remnant saved.
What the Lord has revealed, is that Hagar is also an allegory for this remnant in Israel. Though Hagar was 'cast out' of Avbraham's house, God met her in the wilderness and showed her mercy. Ishamel, 'God hears', would become a great nation. Ishmael was born on Abraham's 86th birthday. In the 86th Psalm, this allegory is revealed and confirmed.
I will not go into detail here, do your own word study, but the paralllels between Hagar's promise and the remnant of Israel, and this psalm, is unmistakable. THe psalm is about one crying out to God; not strange for a psalm. But the kicker is in verses 16 and 17, 'Turn to me, and be gracious to me; grant Youor servant (slave) strength, and save the son of Your handmaid. Show me a sign for good that those who hate me may be ashamed.'
The one crying out is Ishmael, the type of Israel's remnant. He is the 'son of Your handmaid,' and this is Hagar. God 'heard' Ishmael and helped him. And the sign which was shown them was a vision and God opened her eyes to see a life giving wel of water.
Hosea, 'Where it is said, 'Not My people', it will be said to them 'the sons of the living God.' 'I will show compassion to her who was not shown compassion. And I will say to those who are not My people, My people.' This people, whose hearts were hardened at the preaching of the gospel, were casr out, were to be shown mercy at a later time, in the last days. And God will thus save 'all Israel'; those of Judah joined with those of Israel.
God has been opening the eyes of the promised endtime remnant in Israel to see the well of living water, Christ Himself. And indeed, the story of the Samaritian woman at the well relates to this allegory. But sertianly, there is a firm relationship connecting Abraham, his age , Hagar, and the remnant to Psa86!
God is gathering this remnant, and He is doing so by His 'Cyrus Church.'
