Sara was the spouse of Abraham. God willed a new name to accord her as the Mother of many nations where faith establishes her place in the everlasting covenant.
First we shall take up the new name given to Sarah which merits our attention. She typifies the Sister-spouse conundrum as Eve was taken out Adam and also typifies the Bride the church, so she is created after the likeness of Jesus Christ. So she has her own place as Abraham in the everlasting covenant. Notice the emphasis on 'indeed' in the verse quoted below. "Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him."(v.19). She as sister was counted as the mother of many nations.She is also a hero of faith and listed accordingly in the list of heroes of faith.(He.11;11-12). She as spouse also has a role, "and she shall be a mother of nations" (v.16) "Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord:."(1 Pe.3:6)
She stands in comparison with Hagar her handmaid. " For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman./But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise." (Gal.4:21-22) Of the seed of Abraham Sarah is the mother of those born after the Spirit. Faith is what required of them. Whereas for those born after the flesh, the rite of circumcision is a sign. So we shall come to the covenant with Abraham with regards to 'thy seed' " which is compared to, "And as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable." When the beast arises out of the sea we know that it is associated with the end times. "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,"(Re.13:1)
With regards to Ishamael God had already determined his role so the Angel of the Lord counsels her," Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.: ( Ge. 15:9; 21:12-13)
