The Religion Of The False Prophet Exposed!

In a number of my Endtime articles, I express the belief
that, contrary to those people who expect to see the rise of
the kingdom of the Beast, and the Ten Horns who temporarily
support him, in Europe and Russia, I am currently of the
persuasion that the entire Endtime scenario may revolve
around the country of Israel, and ten Arab/Muslim nations
which will join the demon-inspired leader known as the
Beast. This does not mean that I have totally rejected
possible Russian involvement; after all, even now the Arab
states are divided in their loyalties to Russia and the
United States Of America. Both nations have deep interests
in the affairs of the Middle East despite their own internal
problems. In addition, I have previously stated that the
False Prophet may in fact be a false religious leader who
will stir up the masses in support of this Beast. If the
rise of the Beast and the Ten Horns is indeed a more
localized event, then it is only natural to assume that
Islam may be the religion of this False Prophet, and not
Roman Catholicism as some people currently believe.

Considering the relative closeness of these events, and the
Great Tribulation in particular which will involve the
slaughter of possibly millions of those who believe in the
Holy Scriptures, I feel it is important for us to try to
understand what will motivate these Arab nations to commit
such atrocities in the name of their god Allah. What is
truly sad about this is that thousands of years ago,
Abraham's second wife Hagar the Egyptian, and her first son
Ishmael, did worship the same God as Abraham. Consider the
following incident which occurred after Hagar had fled from
Sarai (Sarah) her mistress:

"And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water
in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. And
he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and
whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of
my mistress Sarai. And the angel of the LORD said unto her,
Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy
seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for
multitude. And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold,
thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call
his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy
affliction." (Genesis 16:7-11)

As is explained in my article, 'The Children Of God And
Politics', Ishmael, the first son of Abraham, became the
father of the Twelve Princes of the Arab nations; but it
would be to Isaac, the seed of faith born in Abraham and
Sarah's old age, who would receive the inheritance of the
Lord:

"And God said, 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. And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee:
Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and
will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he
beget, and I will make him a great nation. But my covenant
will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto
thee at this set time in the next year." (Genesis 17:19-21)

"Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son,
whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto
Abraham: And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by
their names, according to their generations: the firstborn
of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, And
Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, Hadar, and Tema, Jetur,
Naphish, and Kedemah: These are the sons of Ishmael, and
these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles;
twelve princes according to their nations."
(Genesis 25:12-16)

Based on the above Scriptural evidence of Hagar's devotion
to the God of Abraham her husband, plus my personal study of
the Qur'an, it seems obvious to me that when Muhammad came
along some six hundred years after Christ, and began
espousing a religion with many similarities to Judaism and
Christianity, yet at the same time totally contrary to them,
he was not listening to the One True God who had been
embraced by his ancestors. We would be wise to remember the
sober warning Jesus gave us in His discourse on the Endtime:

"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it
were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
(Matthew 24:24)

Believe it or not, the Qur'an is such a twisted perversion
of The Truth, that it contains a surah in which Jesus is
prophesying the coming of Muhammad to follow in His
footsteps as the next great prophet of God!:

61: 7. "And call to mind when Jesus, son of Mary, said,
`O children of Israel, surely, I am ALLAH's Messenger unto
you, fulfilling that which is before me of the prophecies of
the Torah, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger who will
come after me, his name being Ahmad. And when he came to
them with clear proofs, they said, this is manifest
sorcery.'"

This is truly an outright demonic deception! What makes this
deception so subtle is that it is well concealed between
many other verses, or surahs, which both the Jew and the
Christian will readily identify with due to the fact that
these surahs embrace Biblical themes! Believe me, if you
read the Qur'an, you will find many things you are familiar
with, albeit some of the names will be a bit different. You
will find mention of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and
the Ark, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the story of Lot and
Sodom and Gomorrah, Moses, Aaron and Pharaoh, the parting of
the Red Sea, Gideon (Talut), King David, Solomon, Job,
Jonah, etc. You will also read of Joseph and Mary and see
that Mary's Immaculate Conception is accepted within Islam.
The birth of John the Baptist to Elizabeth and Zacharias is
also discussed. You may even begin to think, 'WOW! This
Qur'an isn't so bad after all!' Beware reader! As you will
see a bit later in this article, while Jesus' Divine Mission
as a Messager from God is accepted, as well as His many
miracles, that is as far as it goes. He is totally stripped
of anything greater than that; and I will provide many
surahs to prove this point without a shadow of a doubt!

In addition to the above topics, you will also discover that
the Qur'an discusses Heaven and Hell, Satan, the Last Days,
Gog and Magog, the Day Of Resurrection, the Final Judgment,
a New Creation, etc. It appears so innocent on the surface.
However, if you are a Spirit-led Christian and begin to read
more closely as I have done, you will begin to see the
inconsistencies and the lies. As a Christian, I am firmly
convinced that this is so. Furthermore, I am convinced that
it will be because of this strong delusion and rebellion on
their part that the Muslim nations may soon, (within a few
short years), ravage the country of Israel and kill many,
all in the belief that they are doing so in the name of the
One True God. As I was taking a short break, a verse
suddenly popped into my head out of the blue, and it totally
amazed me. The Lord is so faithful! Consider the following:

"They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time
cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth
God service." (John 16:2)

We must remember that life is a boomerang. We reap what we
sow. Just as the pharasaical Jews (like the former Saul)
persecuted and killed the First Christians, sincerely
believing that they were doing God's service, in years
ahead, the Jews may likewise be visited by their own sins
when Muslim radicals, filled with pride and honor for their
own religion, and motivated by the rantings of their False
Prophet, may begin to kill the Jews and destroy their
synagogues! If and when this happens, things will have come
full circle. To fully understand this situation and why it
may happen, this article will examine excerpts taken from
the Qur'an, (or Koran as Westerners prefer to spell it), to
show what is really felt and believed inside the Arab/Muslim
mind and heart. Folks, this is dangerous stuff! It is ideas
like these which put the life of Salomon Rushdie in danger.
I realize this as I write this, but I must be faithful to
Him Who has called me to this ministry. I can only share
what I believe He gives me for your edification and
enlightenment. I still have much work to do for the Lord,
and I trust that He will continue to protect me until I have
completed my task.

As is my practice in writing about Biblical themes, I am
going to take you straight to the source, that is, straight
to the words of the 'prophet' Muhammad, (or Mohammed), so
you can see plainly for yourself exactly what he taught and
advocated. To begin with, allow me to offer a few
definitions of terms as I understand their usage in the
Muslim holy book, the Qur'an:

1. Islam - the religion of Allah as taught to the
Arabs by the 'prophet' Muhammad.

2. Moslem/Muslim - an adherent of the Islamic faith. One who
submits or yields himself to the will of
Allah.

3. Infidel - one who is unfaithful to the religion of
Allah.

4. Unbeliever - one who does not adhere to the beliefs and
practices of Islam as taught in the Qur'an.
This includes everyone outside of the
Islamic world.

5. The Book - in most cases, this refers to the Holy
Scriptures of the Christians and Jews.
However, in certain verses, it also
refers to the Qur'an which is the final
revelation of The Book.

6. WE - assumed to refer to the plural spiritual
overseers found within Islam. Please note
that even the Hebrew word for God in the
Old Testament, 'Elohim' is likewise
plural in nature, although it is
translated as 'God' instead of 'Gods'.

As a point of reference, all of the excerpts usd in this
article are taken from the English translation of the Qur'an
performed by Maulvi Sher Ali and edited by Malik Ghulam
Farid. To begin with, let's set the foundation for what the
Muslims view as the 'true religion':

3: 20. "Surely the true religion with ALLAH is Islam. And
those who were given the Book did not disagree but, after
knowledge had come to them, out of mutual envy. And whoso
denies the Signs of ALLAH, then surely ALLAH is quick at
reckoning."

Notice also that according to Islam, Christians and Jews
have rejected the 'true religion' out of envy, which of
course is the furthest thing from the truth. Following are a
few excerpts which explain the definition of a 'true
believer' as is taught by Islam:

8: 3. "They are only the true believers whose hearts
tremble when the name of ALLAH is mentioned, and when HIS
Signs are recited to them they increase their faith, and who
put their trust in their Lord."

8: 4. "Who observe Prayer and spend out of that which WE
have provided for them."

8: 5. "These it is who are true believers. They have
exalted grades of rank with their Lord, as well as
forgiveness and an honourable provision."

2:129. "`Our Lord, make us both submissive to THEE and
make of our offspring a people submissive to THEE. And show
us our ways of worship and turn to us with mercy; for thou
art Oft-Returning with compassion, and art Merciful."

49: 16. "The believers are only those who truly believe in
ALLAH and HIS Messenger, and then doubt not, but strive with
their possessions and their persons in the cause of ALLAH.
It is they who are truthful."

Thus, according to the Qur'an, a 'true believer', or
'Muslim', is only one who submits himself to the will of
Allah and who believes in his 'prophet' Muhammad. As shown
previously, those who are not 'true believers', such as
adamant Christians and Jews, are considered to be infidels
and unbelievers. Muhammad argues that because we accept what
God gave through the Old Testament Prophets, as well as the
teachings of the New Testament, yet reject 'The Truth' which
Allah gave to Muhammad, we are unbelievers:

2: 92. "And when it is said to them `Believe in what ALLAH
has sent down,' they say `We believe in what has been sent
down to us;' and they disbelieve in what has been sent down
after that, yet it is the Truth, fulfilling that which is
with them. Say `Why, then, do you seek to slay the Prophets
of ALLAH before this, if you were believers."

2:102. "And now that there has come to them a messenger
from ALLAH, fulfilling that which is with them, a party of
the people to whom the Book was given have thrown the Book
of ALLAH behind their backs, as if they know it not."

Throughout the Qur'an, Muhammad refers to the unbelievers as
being deaf, dumb and blind, ignorant, those who have gone
astray, conscious deceivers, liars, losers, transgressors,
(sinners), the worst of creatures and doomed to burn in
Hell!:

2:172. "And the case of those who disbelieve is like the
case of one who shouts to that which hears naught but a
call and a cry. They are deaf dumb and blind - so they do
not understand."

3: 70. "A party of the People of the Book would fain lead
you astray; but they lead astray none except themselves,
only they perceive not."

3: 72. "O People of the Book ! Why do you confound truth
with falsehood and hide the truth knowingly ?"

3: 79. "And, surely, among them is a party who twist
their tongues while reciting the Book that you may think it
to be part of the Book, while it is not part of the Book.
And they say `It is from ALLAH;' while it is not from ALLAH;
and they utter a lie against ALLAH while they know."

3: 86. "And whoso seeks a religion other than Islam, it
shall not be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he shall
be among the losers."

3:111. "You are the best people raised for the good of
mankind; you enjoin good and forbid evil and believe in
ALLAH. And if the People of the Book had believed, it would
have, surely, been better for them. Some of them are
believers, but most of them are transgressors."

5: 87. "And those who have disbelieved and rejected Our
Signs, these are they who are the inmates of Hell."

98: 7. "Verily, those who disbelieve from among the
People of the Book and the idolaters, will be in the Fire of
Hell, abiding therein. They are the worst of creatures."

As we already know, Satan is the father of lies and the
accuser of the Saints. He is similar to the celestial
Prosecuting Attorney. As Jesus said:

"...He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in
the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar,
and the father of it." (John 8:44)

In addition, John the Revelator wrote:

"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come
salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the
power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast
down, which accused them before our God day and night."
(Revelation 12:10)

Because Christians and Jews reject the Qur'an as the
inspired Word of God, and because we reject Muhammad as a
true prophet of God, Satan tries to turn the tables around
on us and accuse us of being the ones who have created the
schism, or division, in the religious world. Consider the
following surah:

2:138. "And if they believe as you have believed, then
they are rightly guided; but if they turn back, then they
are bent upon creating a schism, and ALLAH will surely
suffice thee against them, for HE is All-Hearing, the
All-Knowing."

Exactly what does the Qur'an have to say regarding the
inspiration of the Holy Scriptures? Here are some clear
examples for your consideration. Typical of Satan, there is
some Truth in the following verse which exposes one sin of
modern Christianity and Judaism; but it is the overall lie
and delusion with which it is mixed that makes it so
dangerous:

2: 80. "Woe, therefore, to those who write the Book with
their own hands and then say, `This is from ALLAH,' That
they may take it for a paltry price. Woe, then, to them for
what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they
earn."

While the above verse clearly exposes the sin of
commercialism which has entered modern Christianity and
Judaism, something which I likewise oppose as is expressed
in my 'Bible Hucksters' article, it also clearly states that
the Bible is not the Word of God but merely the work of men.
This is a clear example of how Islam mixes The Truth with
The Lie. In contrast to the above, consider this next surah
which tells us that we the 'unbelievers' have been given
'The Truth' in the Qur'an, but we have rejected it, and thus
Muhammad curses us!:

2: 90. "And when there came to them a book from ALLAH,
fulfilling that which is with them - and before that they
have prayed for victory over the disbelievers - yet when
there came to them that which they knew to be the truth,
they rejected it. The curse of ALLAH be on the
disbelievers."

To those who have already accepted the Qur'an as the words
of Allah, Muhammad warns them to stay away from those who
believe in the Bible lest their faith in the Qur'an be
stolen from them and they become unbelievers:

3:101. "O ye who believe ! if you obey any party of
those who have been given the Book, they will turn you again
into disbelievers after you have believed."

5: 52. "O ye who believe ! take not the Jews and the
Christians for friends. They are friends of each other. And
whoso among you takes them for friends is indeed one of
them. Verily ALLAH guides not the unjust people."

5: 58. "O ye who believe ! take not those for friends
who make a jest and sport of your religion from among those
who were given the Book before you, and the disbelievers.
And fear ALLAH if you are believers;"

5: 59. "And who, when you call people to Prayer, take it
for a jest and sport. This is because they are people who do
not understand."

5: 60. "Say, `O people of the Book ! do you find fault
with us because we believe in ALLAH and what was sent down
to us and what was sent down previously ? Or is it because
most of you are disobedient to ALLAH ?'"

Because we accept the Bible as being the inspired Word of
God, instead of the Qur'an, what does Muhammad instruct his
followers to do? Here is his, (and Satan's), clear answer:

9: 29. "Fight those from among the people of the Book, who
believe not in ALLAH, nor in the Last Day, nor hold as
unlawful what ALLAH and HIS Messenger have declared to be
unlawful, nor follow the true religion, until they pay the
tax considering it a favour and acknowledge their
subjection."

Following the same technique of mixing The Truth with The
Lie, Satan then exposes how modern Christianity has set up
their spiritual leaders above God, (as in the case of the
Pope), but then he throws in the Ultimate Lie by saying
that by exalting Jesus as the Son of God, we have done the
same thing! It is all very subtle to the casual reader:

9: 31. "They have taken their priest and their monks for
lords besides ALLAH. And so have they taken the Messiah, son
of Mary. And they were not commanded but to worship the One
God. There is no God but HE. Holy is HE far above what they
associate with Him !"

Muhammad then seeks to exalt himself as the 'True Messenger'
of God with the 'True Religion':

9: 33. "HE it is Who has sent HIS Messenger with guidance
and the religion of truth, that HE may make it prevail over
every other religion, even though the idolaters may resent
it."

Despite Muslim attempts to downplay this, it is a fact that
the Qur'an clearly states that it is an honorable act to
defend and kill for the faith. A study of Islamic history
will clearly demonstrate this. There are a variety of
surahs in the Qur'an which teach Muslims not to be the
agressor, but rather to kill only when it is a matter of
self-defense such as when they are attacked during a war.
Here is an example:

2:191. "And fight in the way of ALLAH against those who
fight against you, but do not transgress. Surely, ALLAH
loves not the transgressors."

2:192. And slay these transgressors wherever you meet
them and drive them out from where they have driven you out;
for persecution is worst than slaying. And fight them not in
and near the Sacred Mosque until they fight you therein. But
if they fight you, then fight them. Such is the requital for
the disbelievers."

However, there are also other surahs which clearly encourage
the killing of anyone who disagrees with the Islamic faith.
In fact, Muhammad taught that anyone who refused to kill for
the faith would be punished severely. If the coming False
Prophet is indeed a Muslim, then it will probably be verses
like the following which he will use to stir up the Arabs
when they begin their bloody slaughter in the Middle East:

4: 90. "They wish that you should disbelieve as they have
disbelieved, so that you may become alike. Take not,
therefore, friends from among them, until they emigrate in
the way of ALLAH. And if they turn away, then seize them and
kill them wherever you find them; and take no friend nor
helper from among them;"

5: 34. "The only reward of those, who wage war against
ALLAH and HIS Messenger and strive to create disorder in the
land, is that they be slain or crucified or their hands and
feet be cut off on account of their enmity, or they be
expelled from the land. That shall be a disgrace for them in
this world, and in the Hereafter they shall have a great
punishment;"

8: 66. "O Prophet, urge the believers to fight. If there
be of you twenty who are steadfast, they shall overcome two
hundred; And if there be a hundred of you, they shall
overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they
are a people [who] do not understand."

9: 5. "And when the forbidden months have passed, slay
the idolaters wherever you find them and take them captive,
and beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them at every place
of ambush. But if they repent and observe Prayer and pay the
Zak�t, then leave their way free. Surely, ALLAH is Most
Forgiving, Merciful."

9: 39. "If you will not go forth to fight in the cause of
ALLAH, HE will punish you with a painful punishment, and
will choose in your stead a people other than you, and you
shall do HIM no harm at all. And ALLAH has full power over
all things."

9: 73. "O Prophet ! Strive hard against the disbelievers
and the Hypocrites. And be firm against them. Their abode is
Hell, and evil destination it is."

2:217. "Fighting is ordained for you, though it is
repugnant to you; but it may be that you dislike a thing
while it is good for you, and it may be that you like a
thing while it is bad for you. ALLAH knows and you know
not."

2:245. "And fight in the cause of ALLAH and know that
ALLAH is All-Hearing, All-Knowing."

Concerning at what point the Qur'an teaches faithful Muslims
that they should stop fighting, we find that it is only when
the unbelievers have been converted to Islam:

2:194. "And fight them until there is no persecution, and
religion is professed only for ALLAH. But if they desist,
then remember that no hostility is allowed except against
the wrongdoers.

Exactly how might this 'honorable killing' be accomplished?
The following excerpts should make it easy for you to
envision the Muslim faithful being stirred up by the
rantings of their mad False Prophet who will encourage them
to raise their swords against the Christian and Jewish
'infidels' and behead them! This is exactly what it means
when it says 'smite their necks'. As I have explained in
some of my Endtime articles, this may be why the prophet
John specifically said that the Saints he saw under the
Throne of God were BEHEADED for the Word of God:

"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was
given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were
beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God,
and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image,
neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in
their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years." (Revelation 20:4)

Here then is what the Qur'an teaches regarding how to deal
with those who disagree with Islam:

47: 5. "And when you meet in regular battle those who
disbelieve, smite their necks; and, when you have overcome
them, by causing great slaughter among them, bind fast the
fetters - then afterwards either release them as a favour or
by taking ransom - until the war lays down its burdens. That
is the ordinance. And if ALLAH had so pleased, HE could have
punished them Himself, but HE has willed that HE may try
some of you by others. And those who are killed in the way
of ALLAH - HE will never render their works vain."

8: 13. When thy Lord revealed to the angels, saying, `I
am with you; so make firm those who believe. I will cast
terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Smite them
above their necks, and smite off all finger-tips.'

Again, this seems like another clear example of the Jews
reaping what they have sowed. Remember what the Roman
puppet, Jewish King Herod did to John the Baptist?:

"And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded
his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the
prison," (Mark 6:27)

And when Herod later killed James, it is also probable that
he was beheaded as well:

"And he killed James the brother of John with the sword."
(Acts 12:2)

Throughout the Bible, we find the Lord punishing rebellious
Israel through invasion by the pagan nations. Why should
that change in these Last Days? Surely, the axe is already
poised to strike the fig tree, (Israel), as she is even now
surrounded by her executioners! In the Old Testament, the
Prophet Isaiah warns us not to call good, evil, and evil,
good:

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put
darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter
for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20)

Despite this fact, this is exactly what Muhammad is doing in
the following verse from the Qur'an. In fact, this is what
the entire Qur'an is, a total twisting of The Truth:

2: 91. "Evil is that which they have sold their souls -
that they should disbelieve in what ALLAH has revealed,
grudging that ALLAH should send down HIS grace on whomsoever
of HIS servants HE pleases. So they have incurred wrath upon
wrath; and there is a humiliating chastisement for the
disbelievers."

And what does the Bible tell us will be the reward of those
who twist The Truth?...Their own destruction!:

"As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these
things; in which are some things hard to be understood,
which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do
also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."
(2 Peter 3:16)

Taking the delusion a step further, Muhammad also claims
that he received the Qur'an by revelation from the angel
Gabriel. Therefore, whoever rejects the Qur'an is also
rejecting God, the angels, His messengers, Gabriel, and
Michael. In short, he is saying that they are disbelievers
and the enemies of God. By 'messengers', Muhammad is
apparently referring to human messengers like himself since
the word 'angel' is actually derived from the Hebrew word
'malak' which means angel, messenger or ambassador:

2: 98. "Say `Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel' - for he it
is who has caused it to descend on thy heart by the command
of ALLAH, fulfilling that revelation which precedes it, and
is a guidance and glad tidings to the believers."

2: 99. "`Whoever is an enemy to ALLAH, and HIS angels, and
HIS Messengers, and Gabriel, and Michael, then surely, ALLAH
is an enemy to such disbelievers.'"

There is another very deep and subtle deception I must bring
to your attention in the above verses. What I am about to
say can be confirmed by speaking to any devout Muslim.
Please notice the phrase 'fulfilling that revelation which
precedes it'. What this is referring to is the fact that
Muslims sincerely believe that the fact that the angel
Gabriel gave the Qur'an to Muhammad and that Muhammad was
chosen by Allah to be a great prophet is a direct
fulfillment of a previous revelation, or prophecy given to
another Prophet who is highly esteemed within Islam. And do
you know who that is? It is the great leader of the Hebrew
children, Moses. He is mentioned extensively throughout the
Qur'an. As to the prophecy itself, I have mentioned it in
previous articles like 'A Third Elijah: An Endtime
Prophecy?' For those who may not be aware of it, here it is
in its entirety:

"The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the
midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye
shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the
LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying,
Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither
let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. And the
LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they
have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their
brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his
mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command
him." (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

The Jews were very well aware of the above prophecy. It is
for this reason that they sent priests and Levites from
Jerusalem to question John when he was baptizing in the
River Jordan. Notice exactly what they asked him:

"And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he
saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered,
No." (John 1:21)

Notice that they are making a distinction between Elias,
(Elijah), and 'that prophet', meaning the Prophet which
Moses had prophesied about in the above prophecy. As
explained in that same article, John did indeed fulfill the
prophecies of Malachi concerning the coming of Elijah; but
what about Moses' prophecy? As said previously, the Muslims
are convinced that it was fulfilled in their prophet
Muhammad; which is the furthest thing from The Truth, and
just another one of Satan's subtle lies! Jesus is the one
who fulfilled the prophecy of Moses. Consider that God
raised Him up from His own brethren, the Jews, and they
rejected Him:

"He came unto his own, and his own received him not."
(John 1:11)

Likewise, Jesus was every bit as knowledgeable of the Torah
as Moses. And of course, God did in fact put His words in
the mouth of Jesus. On many occasions Jesus emphasized that
He did and said whatever the Father showed Him:

"Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he
seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these
also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son,
and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will
shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel."
(John 5:19-20)

"I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and
my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but
the will of the Father which hath sent me." (John 5:30)

At the very end of the same chapter, in His final rebuttal to
His unbelieving accusers, Jesus made it clear once and for
all that Moses was indeed referring to Him as the Prophet
that should come:

"For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for
he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how
shall ye believe my words?" (John 5:46-47)

There is absolutely no room for misunderstanding or error
here. Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Moses, and NOT the
Islamic prophet Muhammad. Despite this fact, about three
quarters through the Qur'an, another surah is spoken which
also suggests that Muhammad is the fulfillment of the
prophecy spoken by Moses. As I said earlier, it is because
of this purported link between Moses and Muhammad that Moses
is spoken of so extensively throughout the Qur'an; in fact,
much more than any other personality we are familiar with in
the Holy Scriptures!:

" 73: 16. Verily, WE have sent to you a Messenger, who is a
witness over you, even as WE sent a Messenger to Pharaoh;"

The intended link in the above surah is quite obvious if you
understand the Muslim mentality. Here is another example. In
the following surah, the subtle hint is given that on the
Day of Resurrection, Jesus will deny that He ever meant to
be worshipped as the Son of God:

46: 7. "And when mankind are raised up after death, the
false deities will be enemies of their worshippers and will
deny their worship."

A little further down, a sly question is asked regarding
what will happen to one who denies the fact that Moses was
referring to Muhammad:

46: 11. "Say, `Tell me, if this Qur'an is from ALLAH and
you disbelieve therein, and a witness from among the
Children of Israel bears witness to the advent of one like
him, and he believed, but you are too proud to believe, how
should you fare ?' Verily ALLAH guides not the wrongdoing
people."

Only two surahs later it is made plain that Muhammad is
referring to the Book of Moses where the prophecy supposedly
about his own advent, or coming, is given:

46: 13. "And before it there was the Book of Moses, a guide
and a mercy; and this is a Book in the Arabic language,
fulfilling previous prophecies that it may warn those who do
wrong, and give glad tidings to those who do good."

And finally, as I stated towards the beginning of this
article, the Qur'an also makes the claim that Jesus
prophesied the coming of Muhammad. Thus, this is another
understanding which can be applied to the above surah which
states 'fulfilling that revelation which precedes it'. So
again, despite the abundant Scriptural evidence which
refutes such an idea, the Qur'an still claims that Moses and
Jesus prophesied the arrival of Muhammad, which is the
furthest thing from The Truth!

This next deception is also quite amazing. First of all,
Muhammad claims to accept the Bible as the inspired Word of
God:

3: 4. "HE has sent down to thee the Book containing the
truth and fulfilling that which precedes it; and HE has sent
down the Torah and the Gospel before this, as a guidance to
the people; and HE has sent down the Discrimination."

This verse at first seemed a bit confusing to me due to the
order in which the Scriptures appear to have been given; but
then I realized that perhaps it just might be due to a small
translational error. Perhaps what they meant to say was 'the
Gospel before this [one]; in other words, before the Qur'an.
At any rate, once Muhammad claims to accept the Holy
Scriptures as per the above verse, he then adds that the
problem is that some of it has been misinterpreted:

3: 8. "HE it is who has sent down to thee the Book; in
it there are verses that are firm and decisive in meaning -
they are the basis of the Book - and there are others that
are susceptible of different interpretations. But those in
whose hearts is perversity pursue such thereof as are
susceptible of different interpretations, seeking to cause
discord and seeking wrong interpretations of it. And none
knows it except ALLAH and those who are firmly grounded in
knowledge; they say, `We believe in it; the whole is from
our Lord.' - And none take heed except those gifted with
understanding -"

Some of you reading this are undoubtedly aware of the fact
that one popular approach used by New Age adherents, such as
those who support that demonic work the Urantia Book, the
Unbelief Book, is to say that God has given them 'new
revelations' for a New Age. They claim that the Bible is
full of errors, misunderstandings, misquotations, and
outright lies! They claim that through their 'new
revelations', God is clearing things up for us and giving us
a better understanding. These are all lies of Satan, folks!
And do you know what? He has been using this very same
technique for a very long time. As we are now seeing, he did
it through Muhammad fourteen hundred years ago as well!
While claiming that Islam accepts the Bible as a previous
inspired Word of God, Muhammad also says that a little
updating and clarification is required, despite protests
from we the believers:

2:106. "They who disbelieve from among the people of the
Book, or from among those who associate gods with ALLAH,
desire not that any good should be sent down to you from
your Lord; but ALLAH chooses for HIS mercy whomsoever HE
pleases; and ALLAH is Lord of exceeding bounty."

2:107. "Whatever message WE abrogate or cause to be
forgotten, WE bring one better than that or the like
thereof. Knowest thou not that ALLAH has the power to do all
that HE wills ?"

What is being said here is that the 'unbelievers', (those
who accept the Bible), don't want Muhammad to receive any
new revelations from the Lord; but that Allah chooses
whomsoever he will to receive his revelations, meaning
Muhammad. It then goes on to say that if they, (the beings
in the Muslim spiritual hierarchy), break or discard
anything from the Bible, we shouldn't worry about it because
the 'new revelations' given to Muhammad will contain
something better! Isn't this exactly what we find in New Age
thought and the Urantia Book?! The Urantia Book, the
Unbelief Book claims to tie up loose ends, to bring a unity
to different ideas and unanswered questions; and so does the
Qur'an! Here is additional proof:

2:214. "Mankind were one community, then they differed
among themselves, so ALLAH raised Prophets as bearers of
good tidings and as warners, and sent down with them the
book containing the truth that HE might judge between the
people wherein they differed. But then they began to differ
about the Book, and none differed about it except those to
whom it was given, after clear Signs had come to them, out
of envy towards one another. Now has ALLAH, by HIS command,
guided the believers to the truth in regard to which they
(the unbelievers) differed; and ALLAH guides whomsoever HE
pleases to the right path."

This idea of mixing a little bit of Truth with the lies is
used throughout the Qur'an. Muhammad also repeatedly uses
the differences between Jews and Christians to exalt his own
brand of religion MINUS Jesus! Consider the subtlety in the
following:

2:112. "And they say. `None shall enter Heaven unless he
be a Jew or a Christian.' These are their vain desires. Say,
`Produce your proof, if you are truthful.'"

2:113. "Nay, whosoever submits himself completely to ALLAH
and he is the doer of good, shall have his reward from his
Lord. No fear shall come on them nor shall they grieve."

2:114. "And the Jews say, `The Christians stand on
nothing' and the Christians say, `The Jews stand on
nothing;' while they both read the same book. Even thus said
those, who had no knowledge, like what they say. But ALLAH
shall judge between them on the Day of Resurrection
concerning that wherein they disagree."

What Muhammad is basically saying here is 'The Jews say
this, and the Christians say that, but God will sort it all
out on the Day of Resurrection.' This is indeed true; but do
you see how he then uses it to stick in his next lie? He
rationalizes that all we have to do is to submit ourselves
to the will of Allah, (which is what 'Muslim' means). But
tell me, how can a Muslim claim to be submitting to Allah,
or God, or even claim to believe in all of His Words when he
denies the Divine Sacrifice of God's Son? Jesus made this
very clear in the following verses:

"He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth
me receiveth him that sent me." (Matthew 10:40)

"He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you
despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that
sent me." (Luke 10:16)

"I and my Father are one...If I do not the works of my
Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not
me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that
the Father is in me, and I in him." (John 10:30, 37-38)

Perhaps you are wondering how Islam deals with the ministry
and subsequent crucifixion of Jesus. The answer may surprise
you: Muslims quite readily accept that Jesus was sent by
God. They even acknowledge that He fulfilled Old Testament
Scriptures. But as far as His Crucifixion is concerned, they
simply deny that it ever happened! They say that it was all
a deceitful trick, and that Allah prevented it from ever
happening! They also say that even His Disciples are
confused about the matter. And finally, they say that Jesus
lived His time on Earth and died a natural death. They
believe He is waiting to be resurrected just like everyone
else! Here is their 'true account' straight from the Qur'an:

5: 47. "And WE caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in
their footsteps, fulfilling that which was revealed before
him in the Torah; and WE gave him the Gospel which contained
guidance and light, fulfilling that which was revealed
before him in the Torah; and a guidance and an admonition
for the God-fearing."

4:158. "And for their saying, `We did slay the Messiah,
Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of ALLAH;' whereas they
slew him not, nor did they bring about his death upon the
cross, but he was made to appear to them like one crucified;
and those who differ therein are certainly in a state of
doubt about it; they have no certain knowledge thereof, but
only pursue a conjecture; and they did not arrive at a
certainty concerning it."

3: 56. "Remember the time when ALLAH said' `O Jesus, I
will cause thee to die a natural death and will raise thee
to Myself, and will clear thee of the charges of those who
disbelieve, and will exalt those who follow thee above those
who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection; then to ME
shall be your return, and I will judge between you
concerning that wherein you differ."

3: 60. "Surely the case of Jesus is like the case of Adam.
HE created him out of dust, then he said to him, "Be', and
he was."

3: 61. "This is the truth from thy Lord, so be thou not
of those who doubt."

3: 62. "Now whoso disputes with thee concerning him,
after what has come to thee of Knowledge, say to him `Come,
let us call our sons and your sons, and our women and your
women, and our people and your people; then let us pray
fervently and invoke the curse of ALLAH on those who lie."

3: 63. "This certainly is the true account. There is none
worthy of worship save ALLAH; and surely, it is ALLAH Who is
the Mighty, the Wise."

5:111. "When ALLAH will say, `O Jesus son of Mary,
remember MY favour upon thee and upon thy mother; When I
strengthened thee with the spirit of holiness so that thou
didst speak to the people in the cradle and when of middle
age; and when I taught thee the Book and the wisdom and the
Torah and the Gospel; and when thou didst fashion a creation
out of clay, in the likeness of a bird, by MY command; then
thou didst breathe into it a new spirit and it became a
soaring being by MY command; and thou didst heal the
night-blind and the leprous by MY command; and when thou
didst raise the dead by MY command; and when I restrained
the Children of Israel from putting thee to death when thou
didst come to them with clear Signs; and those who
disbelieved from among them said, `This is nothing but clear
deception.'"

As to those who continue to insist that Jesus is the Son of
God, Muhammad simply chooses to curse them in the name of
Allah!:

9: 30. "And the Jews say, `Ezra is the son of ALLAH,' and
the Christians say, `the Messiah is the son of ALLAH;' that
is what they say with their mouths. They only imitate the
saying of those who disbelieved before them. ALLAH's curse
be on them ! How they are turned away."

So you see, the Jews and the Muslims are guilty of the very
same sin of unbelief in Jesus as the Son of God. Thus, their
claim to believe in the One True God is nothing but hot air.
The spirit which inspired the Qur'an is definitely not the
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as they claim. In addition,
by denying the necessity of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ
for the salvation of our souls, and the fact that He was
bodily resurrected on the third day, they are called God and
His Holy Word a lie; and you already know what my response
to that accusation is:

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of
man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not
do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"
(Numbers 23:19)

"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as
it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy
sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged."
(Romans 3:4)

"In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie,
promised before the world began;" (Titus 1:2)

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a
liar, and the father of it." (John 8:44)

"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." (1
John 2:22)

"He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in
himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
because he believeth not the record that God gave of his
Son." (1 John 5:10)

"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and
his word is not in us." (1 John 1:10)

In previous verses from the Qur'an I have showed how Muslims
claim to accept the Gospel. This word 'Gospel' is derived
from the Greek word 'euaggelion' which means 'glad tidings'.
Here is a more amplified definition of the word:

1) a reward for good tidings
2) good tidings
2a) the glad tidings of the kingdom of God soon to be set
up, and subsequently also of Jesus the Messiah, the
founder of this kingdom. After the death of Christ,
the term comprises also the preaching of (concerning)
Jesus Christ as having suffered death on the cross to
procure eternal salvation for the men in the kingdom
of God, but as restored to life and exalted to the
right hand of God in heaven, thence to return in
majesty to consummate the kingdom of God
2b) the glad tidings of salvation through Christ
2c) the proclamation of the grace of God manifest and
pledged in Christ

These are the same glad, or good, tidings that the Prophet
Isaiah was referring to when he said:

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth
good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith
unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!" (Isaiah 52:7)

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD
hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he
hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim
liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to
them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the
LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all
that mourn;" (Isaiah 61:1-2)

In the above verses, the Hebrew equivalent for 'glad
tidings' is the word 'basar'. Interestingly enough, the
above prophecy is one of the very first ones Jesus quoted
when He began His ministry in the synagogue at Nazareth!
(Luke 4:16-21). So exactly what are the glad tidings? As can
be clearly seen, it is that Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
came into the world to die for the sins of humankind so that
we can inherit Eternal Life. This is what is meant by the
word 'Gospel'. When we really get down to it, from a
Christian perspective, as I have already shown, what really
counts is whether or not we accept Jesus Christ as the
only-begotten Son of God, as the only Mediator between God
and man who died on the Cross for the sins of the world, and
as the Firstfruits of the Resurrection of the dead.
Everything else is minor compared to this.

In the case of the Jews, in spite of the fact that Jesus
fulfilled hundreds of ancient Old Testament prophecies
through His birth, life, death, and resurrection, the
stubborn Jewish hierarchy rejected Him as the foretold
Messiah, or Moshiach. This was truly an ironic situation.
While many of the common people were aware of and expected
the coming Messiah, and gladly received Jesus when He came,
the council of seventy of the Sanhedrin, who also were aware
of the Scriptures, in the end reverted to their
'only-one-God' mentality as in the following examples:

"And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said
the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but
he:" (Mark 12:32)

"Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he
not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was
his Father, making himself equal with God." (John 5:18)

They were willing to accept Him as a Great Teacher and
Prophet come from God, but not as the Son of God, the
promised Messiah, in spite of the many miracles He did.
While the Jews and the Arabs hate each other like rival
siblings, as far as Jesus' status is concerned, they have
much more in common than we Christians do with either one of
them! After all, just like the Jews, the Muslims cling to
the 'One-God' mentality and only view Jesus as a great
teacher and prophet. The following verses from the Qur'an
clearly demonstrate this:

2:134. "Were you present when death came to Jacob, when
he said to his sons. `What will you worship after me ?'
They answered, `We will worship thy God, the God of thy
fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac, the One God; and to
HIM we submit ourselves.'"

2:136. And they say, `Be ye Jews or Christians, then you
will be rightly guided,' Say `Nay, but follow ye the
religion of Abraham who was ever inclined to ALLAH; he was
not of those who associated gods with ALLAH.'

2:139. "Say, `We have adopted the religion of ALLAH; and
who is better than ALLAH in teaching religion, and him alone
do we worship.'"

2:164. "And your God is One God; there is no God but HE,
the Gracious, the Merciful."

3: 65. "Say, `O people of the Book ! come to a word equal
to us and you - that we worship none but ALLAH, and that we
associate no partner with HIM, and that some of us take not
others for Lords beside ALLAH.' But if they turn away, then
say `Bear witness that we have submitted to God.'"

3: 68. "Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian but he
was ever inclined to God and obedient to HIM, and he was not
of those who associate gods with ALLAH."

4: 49. "Surely, ALLAH will not forgive that a partner be
associated with HIM; but HE will forgive whatever is short
of that to whomsoever HE pleases. And whoso associates
partners with ALLAH has indeed devised a very great sin."

This idea of accepting Jesus as a Prophet, but rejecting Him
as the Son of God is also subtlely hidden in the following
verses as well:

3: 80. "It does not befit a truthful man that ALLAH
should give him the Book and Wisdom and Prophethood, and
then he should say to men, `Be my worshippers instead of
ALLAH; but he would say, `Be solely devoted to the Lord
because you teach the book and because you study it."

3: 81. "Nor does it befit that he should bid you to take
angels and Prophets for lords. What ! would he enjoin you
to disbelieve after you have submitted to God."

You see, the Qur'an clearly state that there is only one
God, (which is true), and that no other spiritual entity
should be associated, (or made equal), with Him...and that
is precisely where their religion falls apart. As a
Christian, I personally have never stated that Jesus is
equal with God. Even Jesus Himself never stated such a
thing. He always made it clear that He had to submit Himself
to His Father. So you see, He must have been a good Muslim!
<grin!> Seriously though, it is just the fact that we
Christians accept Jesus as being the Son of God which is
blasphemous to both Jews and Muslims alike. So exactly how
do Muslims reconcile Jesus with their faith to make their
brand of religion more acceptable? Believe it or not, it is
very similar to the same technique of 'open-mindedness'
employed by New Agers who call Jesus 'Sananda' and consider
Him one of many 'Ascended Masters', part of the 'Great White
Brotherhood'. Here is how Jesus' status is defined within
Islam:

2:137. "Say ye, `We believe in ALLAH and what has been
revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham and
Ishmael, and Isaac and Jacob and his children and what was
given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to all other
Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any
of them; and to HIM we submit ourselves.'"

2:286. "This Messenger of OURS believes in that which has
been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers;
all of them believe in ALLAH, and in HIS angels, and in HIS
Books, and in HIS Messengers, saying, `We make no
distinction between any of HIS Messengers;' and they say `We
have heard and we are obedient. Our Lord, we implore THY
forgiveness, and to Thee is the returning.'"

4:172. "O People of the Book ! exceed not the limits in
your religion, and say not of ALLAH anything but the truth.
Verily, the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a
Messenger of ALLAH, and a fulfillment of HIS word which HE
has sent down to Mary, and a mercy from HIM. So believe in
ALLAH and HIS Messengers, and say not, `They are three.'
Desist, it will be better for you. Verily, ALLAH is the only
One God. Holy is HE, far above having a son. To HIM belongs
whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. And
sufficient is ALLAH as a guardian."

5: 18. "They indeed have disbelieved who say, `Surely
ALLAH - He is the Messiah, son of Mary.' Say, `Who then has
any power against ALLAH, if HE desired to destroy the
Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother and all those that are
in the earth ?' And to ALLAH belongs the Kingdom of the
heavens and the earth and what is between them. HE creates
what HE pleases and ALLAH has power over all things."

5: 73. "Indeed, they are disbelievers who say, `ALLAH, HE
is the Messiah, son of Mary,' whereas the Messiah himself
said, `O Children of Israel, worship ALLAH Who is my Lord
and your Lord.' Surely, whoso associates partners with
ALLAH, him has ALLAH forbidden Heaven, and the Fire will be
his resort. And the wrongdoers shall have no helpers."

5: 74. "They surely disbelieve who say, `ALLAH is the
third of three;' there is no god but the One God. And if
they do not desist from what they say, a grievous punishment
shall surely befall those of them that disbelieve."

5: 75. "Will they not then turn to ALLAH and ask HIS
forgiveness, while ALLAH is Most Forgiving and Merciful ?"

5: 76. "The Messiah, son of Mary, was only a Messenger;
surely Messengers like unto him had passed away before him.
And his mother was a truthful woman. They both used to eat
food. See how WE explain the Signs for their good, and see
how they are turned away."

5:117. "And when ALLAH will say, `O Jesus, son of Mary,
didst thou say to men, `Take me and my mother for two gods
beside ALLAH ?' he will answer, `Holy art THOU, I could
never say that which I had no right. If I had said it, Thou
wouldst have surely known it. Thou knowest what is in my
mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. It is Thou alone
WHO art the Knower of all hidden things;"

5:118. "`I said nothing to them except that which Thou
didst command me - Worship ALLAH, my Lord and your Lord. And
I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them,
but since Thou didst cause me to die, Thou, hast been the
Watcher over them, and Thou art Witness over all things;"

19: 36. "It does not befit the Majesty of ALLAH to take
unto Himself a son. Holy is HE. When HE decrees a thing, HE
says to it, `Be, and it comes into being.'"

19: 37. "Said Jesus, `Surely, ALLAH is my Lord and your
Lord, so worship HIM alone, this is the right path.'"

39: 4. "Remember, it is to ALLAH alone that sincere
obedience is due. And those who take as protectors others
beside HIM, say, `We serve them only that they may bring us
near to ALLAH in station.' Surely, ALLAH will judge between
them concerning that wherein they differ. Surely, ALLAH
guides not him who is an ungrateful liar."

39: 5. "If ALLAH had desired to take to Himself a son, HE
could have chosen whom HE pleased out of what HE creates.
Holy is HE ! HE is ALLAH, the One, the Most Supreme."

43: 58. "And when the son of Mary is mentioned as an
example, lo ! thy people raise a clamour thereat;"

43: 59. "And they say, `Are our gods better, or he ?'
They mention not this to thee but for the sake of
disputation. Nay, but they are a contentious people."

43: 60. "He was only Our servant, on whom WE bestowed Our
favour, and WE made him an Example for the children of
Israel."

43: 61. "And if WE so willed, WE could make from among you
angels to be your successors in the earth."

43: 62. "But, verily, he was a sign of the Hour. So
entertain no doubt about it, but follow me. This is the
right path."

Not only is there no room in the Qur'an for Jesus to be the
Son of God, but neither is there room for Him as the
Mediator, or Intercessor, between God and man either as
these next surahs show:

39: 44. "Have they taken intercessors beside ALLAH ? Say,
`Even if they have no power over anything and no
understanding ?"

39: 45. "Say, `All intercession rests with ALLAH. To HIM
belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And to
HIM, then, shall you be brought back.'"

So again, Jesus is admired and respected as a Great Teacher
and Prophet, but He is totally stripped of His unique status
as the only begotten Son of God and the Saviour of the
world, just like in New Age thought! In fact, as you can see
for yourself, the Qur'an may be even worse because in some
of the above verses, they have Jesus quoted as saying that
He denies His own Divinity! Clearly then, for the Muslims to
say that they believe in 'what was given to Moses and Jesus'
when they deny those very things is the epitome of
hypocrisy! Thus, the Muslim claim of believing in the Gospel
is an absolute fallacy. When they say they are submitting to
Allah, and thus worthy of 'The Gardens', they must be
speaking of some other god and some other Heaven, and
certainly not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! The God
of the Bible laid down specific requisites for what is
necessary to obtain eternal life, and Islam and its False
Prophet Muhammad deny all of them! How can we believe
anything but that the deceptive spirit who inspired the
Qur'an is none other than Satan himself? The Qur'an truly is
the Satanic Verses! They promise Eternal Life, but will only
bring darkness and judgment to those who believe in them! As
I said previously, Satan doesn't have a new trick up his
sleeve! He keeps using the same lies and deceits over and
over again. All he does is change the packaging to make it
more appealing and acceptable to each new generation.

Since the Muslims reject the Crucifixion and Resurrection
of Jesus Christ, they must also reject the hope that we
Christians place in our faith in the same. Thus the Qur'an
tells us:

5: 19. "The Jews and the Christians say, `We are the sons
of ALLAH and HIS beloved ones.' Say, `Why then does HE
punish you for your sins ? Nay, you are mortals from among
those HE has created.' HE forgives whom HE pleases and
punishes whom HE pleases. And to ALLAH belongs the Kingdom
of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and
to HIM shall be the final return."

Aware of the fact that he will be rejected by those who
adhere to the Holy Scriptures because of his rejection of
the same, Muhammad then announces his own divine mission as
a bearer of 'The Truth' from Allah for 'those who have no
knowledge', (the Jews and the Christians), who require a
sign:

2:119. "And those who have no knowledge say, `Why does
ALLAH not speak to us, or a Sign come to us direct ?'
Likewise said those before them what was similar to their
saying. Their hearts are all alike. We have certainly made
the Signs plain for a people who firmly believe."

2:120. "We have sent thee with the Truth, as a bearer of
glad tidings and a Warner. And thou wilt not be questioned
concerning the inmates of Hell."

2:121. "And the Jews will never be pleased with thee, nor
the Christians, unless thou followest their creed. Say
`Surely ALLAH's guidance alone is the true guidance,' And if
thou follow their evil desires after the knowledge has come
to thee, thou shalt have from ALLAH, no friend nor helper."

5: 20. "O People of the Book ! there indeed has come to
you Our Messenger, after a break in the series of
Messengers, who makes things clear to you lest you should
say, `There has come to us no bearer of glad tidings and no
Warner.' So a bearer of glad tidings and a warner has indeed
come to you. And ALLAH has power over all things."

33: 46. "O Prophet ! truly WE have sent thee as a Witness
and a Bearer of glad tidings, and a Warner,"

33: 47. "And as a Summoner unto ALLAH by HIS command, and
as a light-giving Lamp."

61: 10. "HE it is Who has sent HIS Messenger with the
guidance and the Religion of truth, that HE may cause it to
prevail over all religions, however much those who associate
partners with ALLAH may dislike it."

62: 3. "HE it is Who has raised among the unlettered
people a Messenger from among themselves who recites unto
them HIS Signs, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book
and Wisdom though before that they were in manifest error;"

Notice that Muhammad is referred to as 'a light-giving
Lamp'. I am reminded of something Jesus said:

"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be
single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine
eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If
therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great
is that darkness!" (Matthew 6:22-23)

Truly, the False Prophet Muhammad has brought great darkness
into the Arab world!

Despite his blantant denial of the Divinity of Jesus Christ,
and the Salvation which is obtained through His Name alone,
Muhammad persists in his attempt to try to convince the
'unbelievers' that we all worship the same God:

2:140. "Say, `Do you dispute with us concerning ALLAH,
while HE is our Lord and your Lord ? And for us is our
works and for you your works; and to HIM alone are we
sincerely devoted.'"

2:141. "Do you say that Abraham and Ishmael, and Isaac and
Jacob and his children were Jews or Christians ?' Say `Do
you know better or ALLAH, and who is more unjust than he who
hides the testimony that he has from ALLAH ? And ALLAH is
not unaware of what you do.'"

By this time, it should be clear to any sincere Christian
that Islam is truly a work of Satan. It is a counterfeit
religion which, while speaking of, and teaching of, many
things found in the Holy Scriptures, denies the greatest
fundamental Truth of all, the salvation which is found in
the name of Jesus Christ alone. Because of this, Islam, and
its prophet Muhammad should be rejected by all sincere
Bible-believing Christians. We must continually remind
ourselves that in these Last Days, Satan is going to be
raising up many such false prophets and spiritual leaders
who will appear to have The Truth, but it is only a cheap
counterfeit. We must never forget that in only One Name is
there Salvation:

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved." (Acts 4:12)

Islam is a totally deceptive religion; so deceptive in fact
that those who adhere to it fail to recognize the very one
whom they claim to know is their enemy:

2:209. "O ye who believe, come into submission all of you
and follow not the footsteps of Satan; surely he is your
open enemy."

They fail miserably when it comes to understanding the true
identity of their 'angel of light':

"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an
angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14)

Having now exposed the lies and deception found within the
Qur'an, how can we as sincere Bible-believing Christians
possibly deny who is the true source of inspiration behind
its authorship? I pray that this article has been an
eye-opener and a source of Truth for many.
