Last Will And Testament-Will And Testament

The Moon is mentioned in the Bible 41 times, 32 times in the Old Testament and nine times in the New Testament.

The Moon is mentioned in the Noble Quran 25 times

  

Both, Joel 2:31 and Acts 2:20 say that the sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood.

Verse 16:12 says that Allah has constrained the sun and the moon to be of service unto you.

Joel 2:31 in four different versions of the Bible:

New International Version

31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.

New American Standard Bible

31The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

English Standard Version

31The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

King James Version

31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.

——–

  

Acts 2:20 in four different versions of the Bible:

  

New International Version

20The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

New American Standard Bible

20′THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME.

English Standard Version

20 the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.

King James Version

20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

  

The smart reader finds out that the New Testament is quoted word by word from the Old Testament.

The Bible talks about a phenomenon that is when the sun becomes dark the Moon will become Blood.

As far as I know, if the sun becomes dark, the moon too will become dark; the light of the moon is just a reflection from the sun.  However, I will leave the specialists in Astronomy to study this Biblical phenomenon that is a Dark Sun with Bloody Moon

Verse 16:12 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

  

QARIB: he has subjected to you the night, the day, the sun and the moon. the stars are subjected by his command. surely, in that there is a sign for a nation who understands.

SHAKIR: and he has made subservient for you the night and the day and the sun and the moon, and the stars are made subservient by his commandment; most surely there are signs in this for a people who ponder;

PICKTHAL: and he hath constrained the night and the day and the sun and the moon to be of service unto you, and the stars are made subservient by his command. lo! herein indeed are portents for people who have sense.

YUSUFALI: he has made subject to you the night and the day; the sun and the moon; and the stars are in subjection by his command: verily in this are signs for men who are wise.

  

The verse says that:

Allah has constrained the night and the day and the sun and the moon to be of service unto you, to be subservient to you, and the stars are made subservient by His command, by His leave.  (Lo! Herein) in the subservience of that which Allah has mentioned (indeed are portents) signs (for people who have sense) for people who act and believe that it is Allah who made all these things subservient.

Peter asked:


Is God just giving up writing since the Old Testament is old news and the New Testament didn’t work other than gathering the flock? Will Jesus take his people into outer space and retire while people worship him in heaven?

A will is a legal document that helps you to protect your assets and minimize any dispute over the distribution of your estate when you pass on. When created properly, a will is a tool that will control the distribution of your property upon your death. Also, you can use a last will and testament to appoint a guardian over your minor child(ren) in the event you pass on. You can also name the person who will manage your estate after you die, to help properly execute the will and distribute the property to the appropriate beneficiaries as directed. If any of these issues are important to you then you should think about creating a last will and testament.

When you have created a will, your assets are distributed to your beneficiaries through an order of the probate court. The executor, which you name in your will, gathers up the assets and provides an inventory of it to the probate court. The executor is then responsible for overseeing the testator’s (person who made the will) assets while distributing them according to the specific requests in the will.

To make a valid will the person who made the will must have been at least 18 years old or more and must have signed the document in the presence of two witnesses. For the will to be valid the testator (person making the will) must sign the document in front of two witnesses, and the signature must be notarized in the presence of those same two witnesses.

A lot of people get confused between a Trust and a Last Will and Testament. A Trust details how property is held, transferred, or owned before the death of the person who made the trust. If a Trust is the legal owner of the transferred property and the testator dies then the transferred property doesn’t have to go through Probate court. This is because a Trust doesn’t give directive to your wishes over your assets after your death like a last will does.

This is a new series (1-23) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.

Verse No. 23 in the Old Testament says: And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

Verse No. 23 in the New Testament says: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” which means, “God with us.”

Verse No. 23 in the Noble Quran says: these are they (the hypocrites) who have bartered guidance for error: but their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction.

————————

The verse No. 23 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:23

The verse continues talking about the creation of the heavens and the earth, it says: And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

Herein, the fifth day of the creation of the heavens and the earth is done.

In that day, God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, and every winged bird; and God said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.

————————

The verse No. 23 in the New Testament is Matthew 1:23

In the articles 18-22, Saint Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant and because he was a righteous man and unwilling to put her to shame, he did not want to expose her to public disgrace. So, he decided to divorce Saint Mary!

But an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins

Then Matthew 1:22 says: All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet. Hence, one might expect that some hints about this story is mentioned in the Old Testament; but this is not the case and this story of Saint Mary and her marriage etc. is not found in the Old Testament. However, if what is said by Matthew is true, then the possibility is that the story is removed from the Old Testament and eliminated by those who wrote it; on the basis that they (the Jews) deny both  Saint Mary and the Lord Jesus.

 

What is the Prophecy?

Matthew 1:23 gives the first prophecy about the Lord Jesus and says:

The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” which means, “God with us.”

It is amazing that Matthew did not give the name of the prophet who gave such prophecy.

Anyway, He is Isaiah 7:14 who said:

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel

It is strongly recommended to discover how the Bible uses the word “virgin” in order to recognize if this prophecy is for the Lord Jesus or someone else.

The “virgin” in the Old Testament is a geographical place not a person:

In Isaiah 37:22, 2 Kings 19:21 and Lamentations 2:13 The Virgin is the Daughter of Zion

In Isaiah 23:12, The Virgin is the Daughter of Sidon (Zidon).

In Isaiah 47:1, The Virgin is the Daughter of Babylon.

In Jeremiah 14:17, The Virgin is the Daughter of my people (i.e. daughter of Israel).

In Lamentations 1:15, The Virgin is the Daughter of Judah.

Also, to be precise, the original owner of the prophecy who is Isaiah uses the virgin as the Daughter of Zion, of Sidon and of Babylon once for each.

Hence, which of the above is applicable to Saint Mary?

What the “Virgin” deserves according to the Bible?

Jeremiah 51:22 (New American Standard Bible) says:

And with you I shatter (break in pieces) young man and virgin,

And Ezekiel 9:6

Slaughter (Kill, Slay utterly) the old man, the young man, and the maiden (virgin), and little children, and women…

Hence, the Bible commands to shatter (break in pieces) the virgin and to Slaughter (Kill, Slay utterly) the old man, the young man, and the maiden (virgin), and little children, and women…

This also, is not applicable to the Virgin Saint Mary.

Moreover, the prophecy says that the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel.

This means that the virgin of the prophecy has already a child (will be with child), And (afterward) she will give birth to a son.  Also, they (the people) will call him Immanuel.

In the case of Saint Mary, she has no child before Jesus; also, the people did not call him Immanuel. Throughout the entire Bible, None has called the Lord Jesus Immanuel.  

The interested smart reader might answer this question:

Is the first Matthew’s prophecy about the Lord Jesus is trustful?

The Linguistics meanings of Emmanuel

the name of the Messiah as prophesied by Isaiah, often represented in Christian exegesis as being Jesus Christ.

Immanuel or Emmanuel or Imanu’el (??????????? “God [is] with us” consists of two Hebrew words: ?? (El, meaning ‘God’) and ???? (Immanu, meaning ‘with us’); Standard Hebrew ‘Immanu’el, Tiberian Hebrew.

Moreover, Iman (pronounced as Eaman) in Aramaic as well as in Arabic means faith in or belief, el in Aramaic (in Arabic = Allah or Ilah) means God. So, Immanuel or Emmanuel means: believe or have faith in God or the believer(s) in God.

————————

Verse No. 23 in the Noble Quran is 2:16,

Chapter 2 is Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW),

Verses 2:8-20 are talking about the hypocrites

Verse 2:8 (See article 15) states that the hypocrites say: ‘we believe in Allah and the last day, ‘ yet they are not believers.

Verse 2:9 (See article 16) says: They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not.

Verse 2:10 (See article 17) says: “There is a sickness in their (the hypocrites) hearts which Allah has increased; for them there is a painful punishment because they lie.”

Verse 2:11 (See article 18) says: when it is said to them: Do not corrupt in the land;  they (the hypocrites) say: we are only reformers.

Verse 2:12 (See article 19) says: are not they indeed the mischief-makers? but they perceive not.

Verse 2:13 says: and when it is said to them: believe as the people believe they say: shall we believe as the fools believe? now surely they themselves are the fools, but they do not know

Verse 2:14 says: when they meet those who believe, they say, ‘we, too believe. ‘ but when they are alone with their devils, they say to them: ‘we follow none but you, we were only mocking

Verse 2:15 says: Allah shall pay them back their mockery, and he leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.

Verse 2:16 continues talking about the hypocrites; and says: these are they who have bartered guidance for error: but their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction,

The meaning of verse 2:16

Those are they who have bought error for guidance, that is, they have exchanged the latter for the former; so their commerce has not profited them, that is to say, they have gained nothing from it, indeed, they have lost, because their destination is the Fire, made everlasting for them; nor are they guided, in what they did.

In other words, These are they who purchase error at the price of guidance), they chose disbelief instead of faith and exchanged guidance with error, (so their commerce did not prosper), they did not prosper in their bargain but on the contrary (neither were they guided) to overcome their error.
