Say It Like You Mean It - from the Beloved of Jesus

Let's pick this up again………….you say, 'we have a love for Jesus,….. [I think more than you do……]. At first, one might suppose we are looking at the same person, but I suspect not. You provide the clue.

Yeshua HaMashiach, the Person known Biblically as the Son of The Almighty Eternal One, the Father, is, indeed, called Prophet, a prophet of the first order of the Eternal One, El Shaddai. This is not the prophet you are referring to by His Hebrew Biblical references. If He were that to you, then you would not believe the altered personage you try (as do so many others) to make Him out to be.

You are interested in seeing your rendition of Issah al-Maseeh for a variety of reasons, for your traditions have Issah accomplish the Quranic fetes of prognostications in the Middle East. Yet, in doing so, Islam has tried so very hard to deal with the Biblical fulfillments told about long before the Quranic dictations were uttered by the Islamic Prophet, mainly that of how Israel exists in the face of Islamic persecution.

Now, to be sure, Israel has not made it easy for Islam. From the time of Abraham and his issues with Ismael versus Isaac, there has been the basis of antipathies between the 'Children of the Book' the Israelites and the children of Ismael of which we see the current issues today. It does not help the circumstances that the Shiite influences of Iranian Islamism stir up greater enmity between the Israelites and the rest of the Middle East, but the reckoning of that is shortly going to be manifested.

From this perspective, the resultant situation is going to present that affirmation of which is prophesied in the Hebrew Holy Scriptures; and the Yeshua HaMashiach of the Biblical account is preparing to complete that which was started a long time ago. His return to assume the throne of Israel as the Son of David will be accomplished in His timing, after the world gets through getting it all wrong. It is what the Hebrew Holy Bible says is going to happen and no one of the Quranic persuasion seems to understand that.

As a disciple of Yeshua HaMashiach who cherishes His love for me, I have to say He is the One I am going to trust in, believe in, have faith in. His Word is His bond; Israel is His marker of proof. The Quran will never tell me that.
