I thought I knew my Bible, but I missed that part. Where does it say that?
Well it's actually more than 2000 years, but the bible has been around amost that amount of time.
The old testament is where this is.

Sarah couldn't have a son, so Abraham had a child with Hagar, but later, Sarah herself had a son, named Isaac, and rivalries developed between the
mothers, which eventually split the family (Gen 21).
That was one instance and the other was:
"Since Ishmael was older than Isaac, and Esau also older than Jacob, Arabs see themselves as the "older sons," and thus the legitimate heirs of
Abraham.
Recognizing this close common heritage is necessary for beginning to understand the animosity between Jews and Arabs over the centuries. "
Debating who is going to give the world its savior is a serious thing, though I believe he already came lol.
