Last Will And Testament-Will And Testament

This is a new series (1-24) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.

Verse No. 24 in the Old Testament says: God said, Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.

Verse No. 24 in the New Testament says When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.

Verse No. 24 in the Noble Quran says: their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire but when it had illumined all around him, Allah took away their light, and left them in utter darkness– they do not see. 

————————

The verse No. 24 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:24

The verse continues talking about the creation of the heavens and the earth; now it is the sixth day of the creation.  The verse says: And God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.  

So, in the sixth day of the process of the creation of the heavens and the earth, God said: Let the earth produce (bring forth) living creatures after their kind: e.g. cattle and creeping things and beasts, livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.

The verse No. 24 in the New Testament is Matthew 1:24

In the articles 18-23, 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.  All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” which means, “God with us.”

Article 23 investigates the prophecy on the basis of :

1) How Does the Bible Use the Word “Virgin”? As a Woman or as a Place?

2) What the “Virgin” deserves according to the Bible?

3) Is the first Matthew’s Prophecy About the Lord Jesus Trustful?

Matthew 1:24 says that When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.

I wonder why the Bible in the Old Testament denies Saint Mary and in the New Testament persists and is adamant that Saint Mary was an ordinary woman, pledged to be married, her man did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he decided to divorce etc.

Nevertheless, the Muslims believe that Saint Mary, peace be upon her; is that

She lived and died as a “Pure, Untouched, and an Outstanding Virgin Woman”. although the Bible  insists that she was pledged to be married to Joseph, then she married him and then she had babies from him and then those babies are the brothers of God!

Verse No. 24 in the Noble Quran is 2:17,

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 says: these are they who have bartered guidance for error: but their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction,

Verse 2:17 continues talking about the hypocrites; and says: their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire but when it had illumined all around him, Allah took away their light, and left them in utter darkness– they do not see.

The meaning of verse 2:17

The verse gives their (the hypocrites) parable; it means that:

The likeness of the hypocrites vis-à-vis Muhammad is as the likeness of one who kindles fire, lights a fire in the darkness in order to provide safety for his family, property and person, and when it sheds its light and he sees what is around him and feels secure, at that very moment the Fire is put out.

Likewise, the hypocrites believed openly in Muhammad as well as in the Quran and by doing so they felt their persons, families and properties were safe, avoiding in the process imprisonment or death. But when they die Allah takes away their light, the benefit of their outward faith, and leaves them in darkness facing the hardships of the grave, where they cannot see any comfort.

It is also said this simile refers to the Jews. In this respect, the likeness of the Jews vis-à-vis Muhammad is like a man who raises a flag in a lost battle and by doing so attracts other defeated fighters. But when they gather they put their flag down and, consequently, their benefit and safety immediately vanish.

Similarly, the Jews used to say that Muhammad and the Quran, prior to its revelation, would support them. When it was revealed however they denied it and Allah took away their light, i.e. their desire to believe and the benefit of such belief. This is because although they wanted to believe in Muhammad they did not do so, and consequently they were left unable to see the guidance.

Also, it is said that, their likeness, the way they are in their hypocrisy, is as the likeness of one who kindled, that is, one who lit a fire in darkness, and when it illumined all about him, so that he is able to see, and to feel warm and secure from those he feared, Allah took away their light, extinguishing it and left them in darkness, unable to see, what is around them, confused as to the way, in fear; likewise are those who have found temporary security by professing faith, but who will meet with terror and punishment upon death and in the Hereafter.

This is a new series (1-22) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.

Verse No. 22 in the Old Testament says: God blessed them (the great sea monsters and every winged bird) and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase (multiply) on the earth.

Verse No. 22 in the New Testament says: All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet.  

Verse No. 22 in the Noble Quran says: Allah shall pay them (the hypocrites) back their mockery, and he leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.    

————————

The verse No. 22 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:22

Verse No. 21 in the Old Testament says: And God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

And verse continues talking about the creation of the heavens and the earth, it says:

God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase (multiply) on the earth.

So, God blessed the great sea monsters and said: Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas.

And God blessed every winged bird and said: let the birds increase (multiply) on the earth. However, in Leviticus 11 God said that we are to detest many birds e.g., the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture etc because they are detestable.

————————

The verse No. 22 in the New Testament is Matthew 1:22

In the articles 18-20, 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 and a just 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 after he had considered this, 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.

In verse Matthew 1:21, the angel continues saying to Joseph:

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

Verse No. 22 ( Matthew 1:22) says: All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet.

To be accurate, we have in this verse two important points:

” All this took place” and ” the prophet”.

” All this took place” means that all of this story took place.

Then what? to fulfill what the Lord had said through ” the prophet”.

But, who is that “prophet”? Matthew did not tell us. However, this “prophet” is well known; He is Isaiah (7:14).

One has to expect that some hints about this story is mentioned in the Old Testament and that “unknown” prophet prophesizes and foretells about it.

But this is not true 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. 

On the other hand, the Muslims’ faith about Saint Mary, peace be upon her; is that

She lived and died as a “Pure, Untouched, and an Outstanding Virgin Woman”. although the Bible  insists that she was pledged to be married to Joseph, then she married him and then she had babies from him and then those babies are the brothers of God!

 Verse No. 22 in the Noble Quran is 2:15,

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 2:14 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 continues talking about the hypocrites; and says: Allah shall pay them back their mockery, and he leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on. 

The meaning of verse 2:15

Allah will mock the hypocrites in the Hereafter

Allah, Himself, will mock the hypocrites, in the Hereafter, i.e. He will open a gate of Paradise for them and then shut it before their eyes and so the believers will mock them. (Leaving them to wander blindly on in their contumacy) He will leave them in this world blind in their disbelief and error, unable to see either faith or guidance.

In other words, Allah mocks them, requiting them for their mockery, leaving them, that is, giving them respite, in their insolence, that is, in their transgressing the limits of unbelief; bewildered, wavering, in perplexity.

Who is mocking who? The Hypocrites or the Believers?

when the hypocrites meet the believers, they say, ‘we too believe. But

they declare to their leaders: Lo! We are with you, we follow your religion in secret; surely we did but mock. So, they intended to mock the believers in the life of this world. Hence, it is fair enough that Allah will let the believers to mock them in the Hereafter.

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

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.

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 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.

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
