The Truth About Jesus Christ and What True Disciples of Jesus Christ are Waiting For.

Let us examine the truth of what is presented here, since the issues contained in this previous post about Yeshua HaMashiach are disputed by the previous reader as though they were first disseminated by the Islamic Prophet, which they were not. His confusion appears to stem from his inability to recognize Jesus Christ for Who He really is, stemming from unbelief in the true source and revelation of the Holy Bible.

Muslims are indeed looking for a ‘messiah'; depending on which variant of Islam one considers to be the correct one, either Shia or Sunni. What is being present by the previous reader is an absorption of Christian theology (some of which corrupted by incorrect replacement eschatology) and modified to contain some obscure Islamic metaphors with no real Biblical basis, nor any spiritualized Islamic foundation either, for that matter.

Now, it is admitted that all true inspiration from the Holy Bible is from Almighty God, the Holy One of Israel. It is found in the sh'ma, amongst other places in the Scriptures.

There are indeed two nations stemming from Abraham; Ishmael the son of an Egyptian servant girl, and Isaac, the true son of the promise. Isaac is the heritage from which Jesus Christ takes His Jewish heritage, and Ishmael is the contender whose heritage has been brought forth to be the servant nation to Israel.

Jesus Christ tells us from the Gospel of John that the Comforter is the One to be sent to be a help and inspiration to the believer after Jesus is ascended in heaven, awaiting the imminent return (not 2022 or whenever) to assume His rightful place on the throne in Jerusalem. Only those who do not have belief in Jesus Christ will never know what part the Holy Spirit has in anything.

Islam is a religion, started from Arab ancestry that can be traced to Ishmael, but it is a religion of nature, as the previous reader and others of Islam have said; therefore to make it out as a nation exceeds the declared reason of its existence. It can be said then that Ishmael is the nation, and Islam its religion.

Not all Jewish people see the current situation of their existence since they have forsaken the truth of their origins in unbelief, for which they as a people have been judged, just as their Prophet Moses said they would. As a nation, their existence is still being used of by Almighty God even in their unbelief because He has said so (Ezekiel 36, 37, 38), and He cannot go back on His WORD. Since the Holy Bible does not give a precise date of when these things are to happen (even Jesus Christ said it is for the Father only to know), there is no correct Biblical formula, so no faithful disciple is expected to be able to provide that date.

The Holy Bible says that Israel is the sign of the age in which to expect the return of Yeshua HaMashiach, and since 1948, it could be any time. Look at the circumstances that Israel is in now, realizing that there is left to be seen no humanly discernable sign required for the event of the Revelation; it could be at any moment.

Jesus Christ is NOT the al-Madhi, no matter how hard anyone tries to make it so. It is easier to make an argument that anyone one in human form that presents himself to be the ‘savior' of the world and wanting to make peace in place of the true Jesus Christ, is likely to be the anti-Christ.

The last statements of the previous reader are of an opinion that has no foundation in logic, or human reasoning. It is definitely not Biblical, and this reader is not sure if there is a proof in Islamic ideology. It also misses the mark on the setting of the future as found in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, conveniently omitted in the previous post. If one wants a complete picture of what the future holds and what true disciples of Jesus Christ are waiting for, read the last three chapters of the prophetic Book of Daniel, and then The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Of course, it would help if in doing so, there was the mindset to accept Jesus Christ as LORD, so that when reading the truth of Who Jesus Christ is, there will be salvation and belief, the point of life from beginning to end.
