1. The wrongly guided ones
Just as they did with other Biblical figures and
His-Story, Mohammedan folklore has fabricated its own redeemer fable and eschatology, in its cult collection of sayings referred to as the Hadith.
This redeemer, referred to as the Mahdi, will allegedly rule for 7, 9 or 19 years just before the Last Day, and will rid the world of evil and injustice, by joining forces with The Messiah/Christ, to fight against the
Masih ad-Dajjal, i.e. the false messiah/antichrist and his followers.
For those who may not know the meanings of the
titles involved, they are as follows:
The “Messiah”/”Christ” is a title which means “
The Anointed
One”
The “Mahdi” is a title which means “
The Rightly Guided
One”
“Jesus” (“Isa”) is not just a name, but is likewise
a title, which means “Saviour” or “Redeemer” (specifically “YHWH saves”). Therefore, all references to Christ-Jesus after the resurrection should be rendered
Christ, the Saviour, to be properly translated.
So the obvious question that begs to be asked with this fable is this: when did the number “
One” suddenly become two? Or do “Muslims”
mistakenly believe that The
ONE Whom God Himself Anointed (
Luke 4:18,
Heb. 1:9) and taught (
John 5:20,
Sura 3:48) isn’t rightly guided?
In the Koran, it specifically states the following in Sura 43:61:
“And [Isa (Christ, the Saviour)]
shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have
no doubt about the (Hour), but
FOLLOW YE ME: this is the Straight Way.”
Please note well it does
NOT say “follow ye us” or “follow ye me too”. It says “follow ye
ME”. And Who is the Straight (and Strait) Way that leads to Life?
Matthew 7:13-14
7:13 – Enter ye in at the “Strait” gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
7:14 – Because Strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] The Way, which leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it.
John 14:6 – Jesus saith unto him,
I am The Way, the Truth, and the Life: NOT one man cometh unto the Father, EXCEPT by me.
Who could be more rightly guided by God and His Holy Spirit than
THE Good Shepherd (
John 10:1-18),
THE One and Only High-Priest for all-time (
Heb. 6:20) and
THE One and Only Mediator (
1 Tim. 2:5) between God and men? There is
NO ONE ELSE in the Koran that is described as being strengthened with the Holy Spirit (Christ) other than Jesus.
Sura 2:87 – We gave Moses The Book (The Torah – The Law) and followed him up with a succession of Apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs)
AND STRENGTHENED HIM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (CHRIST – John 14:15-19). Is it that whenever there comes to you an Apostle with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay (
Matt. 21:33-46)!
Sura 2:253 – Those Apostles We endowed with gifts, some above others: to one of them God spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to Jesus the son of Mary We gave clear (Signs),
AND RE-INFORCED HIM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (THE SPIRIT-BEING CHRIST –
John 16:7-16). If God had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (
chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If God had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but God fulfilleth His Plan.
Sura 5:113 – Then will “I AM” say: “O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold!
I STRENGTHENED THEE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (CHRIST), so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold!
I taught thee The Book (The Torah and Prophets –
John 7:15-17) and Wisdom (
John 5:20), The Law (The Torah –
John 5:46-47) and The Gospel (
Mark 1:14-15) and behold! Thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird,
by My leave, thou breathest into it (
Gen. 2:7), and it becometh a bird
by My leave, and thou healest those born blind (
John 9), and the lepers (
Luke 7:22),
by My leave (
John 3:35). And behold! Thou bringest forth the dead
by My leave (
John 5:21). And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the Clear Signs (
Luke 4:16-30), and the Unbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but sorcery’ (
Mark 6:1-6).
IF “Muslims” actually did God’s Will (Islam), and read the Bible as He has
COMMANDED them to do, they would see for themselves Who the Comforter/Holy Spirit really is:
CHRIST (
John 14:15-19,
16:7-16),
Who is mentioned directly or indirectly over 300 times in the Koran.
John 16:7, 13-16
16:7 – Nevertheless I tell you the Truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I WILL SEND HIM UNTO YOU.
16:13 – Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will GUIDE you into all Truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
16:14 – He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show [it] unto you.
16:15 – All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show [it] unto you.
16:16 – A little while, and ye shall not see me (3 days and 3 nights): and AGAIN, a little while (after the Ascension), and ye SHALL see me, BECAUSE I go to the Father.
John 14:17-18
14:17 – [Even] the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
14:18 – I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU.
How could anyone be more rightly guided than God’s Holy Spirit of Truth? How obvious does it need to be made that
Christ is The Mahdi?
Sunnis
falsely claim that the Mahdi will be a descendant of Muhammad, even though the Koran plainly states that
MUHAMMAD DID NOT HAVE ANY MALE HEIRS, which is how God records a human family’s lineage in His Law.
Sura 33:40 – Muhammad is NOT the father of ANY of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of “I AM”, and the Seal of the Prophets
*: and “I AM” has full knowledge of all things.
*CONFIRMING what the Prophets that came before him
PROPHESIED
Shi’ites
falsely claim the Mahdi will be “the twelfth imam”, even though the Mahdi Himself, speaking through the mouth of Jesus 2000 years ago, condemned
ALL priests, pastors, rabbis
and imams, etc., because there is only
ONE Who is Rightly Guided, and thus in a position of authority, able to teach others: Christ,
THE Master/Teacher/Imam of the 12 tribes of Israel, i.e. those who will be redeemed from the earth (
Rev. 7:4-9).
Matthew 23:8 – But be not ye called priest (etc.): for ONE is your Teacher (Imam), [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
1 Timothy 2:5 – For [there is]
ONE God, and
ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN God and men, the Man Jesus Christ;
How is it even possible for there to be Sunnis and Shi’ites – and all of the other sects in “Islam” – when God and His Messiah/Christ/Mahdi
CONDEMNED all division and every sect/cult/organized religion, etc.,
ALL of which are based upon the
cultural traditions (hadiths) of men which make the Commandments of God of no effect (
Matt. 15:3,
9)?
Matthew 12:25 – And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them,
Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and EVERY CITY OR HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF SHALL NOT STAND:
From The Messiah/Christ/Mahdi, in the Gospel of Jesus according to John:-
John 10:16 – And other sheep I have (the “House of Israel”), which are not of this fold (the “House of Judah”): them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one Shepherd (Eze 37:22 and Genesis 49:10).
John 13:34-35
13:34 – A new COMMANDment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
13:35 – By this shall all [men] KNOW that ye are my disciples, IF ye have love one to another.
John 15:12-14
15:12 – This is my COMMANDment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
15:13 – Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his “Self” life for his friends.
15:14 – Ye are my friends, IF ye DO whatsoever I command you.
John 17:11; 17:21-23
17:11 – And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep through Thine own name those whom Thou hast given me, that they may be ONE, as We [are].
17:21 – That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent me.
17:22 – And the glory which Thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are One:
17:23 – I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be made perfect in ONE; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved me.
Sura 6:159 – As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou MUST have NOTHING whatsoever to do with it, even in the least: their affair is with “I AM”: in the end He will tell them the truth of all that they did.
Sura 42:13-14
42:13 – The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah – the which We have sent by inspiration to thee – and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and
JESUS: namely, that ye should remain steadfast in Religion (bonded obligation to “I AM”),
AND MAKE NO DIVISIONS THEREIN: to those who worship other things than “I AM”, hard is The (Way) to which thou callest them. “I AM” chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).
42:14 – And they became DIVIDED only AFTER Knowledge reached them,-
through selfish envy between themselves. Had it not been for a Word (
John 1:14) that went forth before from thy Lord, (tending) to a Term appointed, the matter would have been settled between them: but truly those who have
inherited The Book (Bible) after them are in suspicious (disquieting) doubt concerning it (
Sura 32:23).
Sura 49:10 – THE BELIEVERS ARE BUT A SINGLE (ONE) BROTHERHOOD: so make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear “I AM”, that
YE may receive Mercy (
Matt. 5:9).

Conclusions
Anyone who doesn’t break free of their organized religion’s superstitions, and learn to follow Christ’s Example of
DOING God’s Will, precisely as it says throughout the Bible and Koran, will face The Fire on Judgment Day. We will
ALL be judged by The Messiah/Christ/Mahdi (
Matt. 25:31-46,
John 5:22), so
who could do more wrong (Sura 18:56-57) than someone who doesn’t get to know Him
NOW, after all of these clear
Signs from God (
John 17:3)?
The best and
ONLY Way to make the most of what little time you have left is to read, study and put into practice
The Survival Plan, which is the “little book” that God promised to deliver during
the end-times (
Rev. 10:6-10) entitled
The Way home or face The Fire by JAH. The title is self-explanatory.
Start anew today, by learning some fresh and
real humility, this time
DOING what the Lord says and
not what
you decide or make-up yourself. The “self” has to be
crucified DAILY(
Matt. 10:38,
Mark 8:34,
Luke 9:23,
Luke 14:26-27,
Gal. 2:20,
Sura 6:162) until it is
DEAD and you want
only to
serve the Lord and the common good,
keeping the
COMMANDments;
Covenants; His Laws and Ways (found
ONLY in
His Bible) and
NOT your own.
All Scriptural quotes are from the
King of kings’ Bible (
Rev. 5:1-5,
Rev. 19:16), where the Old Covenant, New Covenant and Koran are together (
Sura 9:111) and fully cross-referenced, for the first time in human history.
ONE Book for
ONE Brotherhood of Believers.
Peace be upon you.
