You know it's hilarious Jesus in the Bible in the New testament says a man cannot mount two horses yet in the gospels they have Jesus melting a donkey and a cult at the same time this is what it says and it does it that he mounted a donkey and a cult kind of like a a circus act maybe I don't know I don't even believe it's true but as a Jesus says you can't mount to animals at the same time but the Christians they put him on two animals at the same time it is a very strange you know it is it's a very strange belief system and a lot of Christians haven't never even read that before

It’s talking about a prophecy which was going to happen at a later time. prophesied on future events. Isaiah 21:13-17 is talking about Madinah. Dedanim and Tema are located towards Madinah in the home city of Prophet Mohammad. Prophet Mohammad ran with his followers from Mecca to Madinah and then came back and defeated the mighty Quraish tribe. This Isaiah 21:13-17 is battle of Badr 1. It says ‘Burden upon Arabia’ for the companies of DEDANIM. Dedanim is in today’s Saudi Arabia, close to Madinah city of Prophet Mohammad. 2. It then talks about a man and a group of people escaping from their enemies to Tema, which again is in today’s Saudi Arabia north of Madinah. Tema was 9th son of Ishmael. 3. Then it says the mighty men of Kedar would be defeated after a year. This Battle of Badr took place in Badr which is is Madinah.

1) Isaiah 42 is one of the ‘go-to’ passages for Muslims to find Muhammad in the Bible. You are compelled to attempt this in light of Q 7:157. So, I understand the compulsion. Yet, the process fails each time. It is interesting that Muslims wish to find Muhammad in Isaiah 42, given that the Qur’an says he can be found in the Torah (Q 7:157), which... he can't. But, let us address Isaiah 42. Questions that you must ask if you wish to apply chapter 42 to Muhammad: Why is Muhammad called ‘Israel’? (49:3) This is the same servant spoken of in 42. Is his mission first (though not exclusively) to the Jews? (49:5). The same servant is sent first to the Jews. Was Muhammad sent to the Jews? Was Muhammad beaten on his back, spit on, and had his beard pulled out? (50:6). We know that this happened to Jesus (Matthew 26:67). Most strikingly, is Muhammad killed for the sins of others, and resurrected? (52:13-53:12). These are just SOME of the verses that are applied to THE SERVANT spoken of in isaiah 42. CLEARLY this was not fulfilled in Muhammad and CLEARLY Jesus became the fulfillment. Matthew quotes Isaiah 42:1-5 and plainly says it is a prophecy fulfilled in Jesus (Matthew 12:16-21). I'm sorry, but isaiah 42 is not about Muhammad. 2) Further, Isaiah 42 is about GENTILES becoming believers, not about Mouhammad creating the religion of Islam and Muslim adherents. "I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles ," Isaiah 42 is about GENTILES. Arabic people, descendants of Ishmael, would be INCLUDED in that number certainly but it is about GENTILES. The text says GENTILES. Who are GENTILES??? Anyone who is not a Jew. Trying to make this text about MUSLIMS being brought into the fold of believers is ridiculous as it falls short of the fulness of the text. It most certainly isn't ONLY about Muslims now is it? Unless you want to try and argue that only MUSLIMS are gentiles and that would be a fun argument to see.
And before you answer that, please keep in mind the following which is one of the clarifications for the being/person being referenced in conjunction with the one whose flocks of Kedar would be gathered to (Isaiah 60:7). "To bring your sons from afar, Their silver and their gold with them, To the name of the Lord your God, And to *the Holy One of Israel* , Because He has glorified you." -Isaiah 60:9 Muslims love to find a single verse in the Bible and try to connect that to Muhammad while simultaneously ignoring every verse around it which makes it painfully clear that it is not speaking about Muhammad. The person that the flocks of Kedar (Isaiah 60:7) where being gathered to is the "HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL" (Where??? ISRAEL). @@xiontion9993
Jesus has no historical association with Kedar or Sela. The New Testament has Jesus moving within ancient Palestine, in places like Nazareth and Bethlehem. He simply has no link to the deserts of Saudi Arabia, nor is there any record of the inhabitants of Madinah “rejoicing” and “singing for joy” with the advent of Jesus. The renowned British Arabist Richard Bell states: *“In spite of traditions to the effect that the picture of Jesus was found on one of the pillars of the Ka’bah, there is no good evidence of any seats of Christianity in the Hijaz or in the near neighbourhood of Makkah or even of Madinah”* *- Richard Bell, The Origin of Islam in its Christian Environment, p. 42* By contrast, when Prophet Muhammad arrived in Madinah, its inhabitants were overjoyed and cried out in happiness: *I never saw the people of Madinah so happy with anything as they were with his arrival. I even saw the little boys and girls saying, “Here is the Messenger of God; he has come!” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith **#4941**]* *Then men and women climbed upon house-tops; the boys and servants scattered in the way, and they were all calling out: ‘Muhammad! Messenger of God! Muhammad! Messenger of God!’ [Sahih Muslim, Hadith **#2009** d]*
Selah is near the Dead Sea and that has no bearing. The Song is what goes to these places (verse 10-12) not the prophet. And what is Mo's connection to Selah, the isles and the Islands if that is what you want to claim? and Muhammad fails this prophecy. Isaiah 42:4 "...nor be discouraged..." don't need to look far, read al-Bukhari 3&4.
@@tobytranter2266 Selah near the Dead Sea would be in Edom but Isaiah is speaking about the Selah of Kedar which would be the mountain in Madinah. Verses 10-12 is Isaiah telling the people of Madinah to rejoice and sing God's praises because of the advent of the servant he just mentioned and the only man who fulfilled this is Muhammad. Prophet Muhammad didn't fail this prophecy: *“He will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth…” [Isaiah 42:4]* Early into his mission when the Muslims were in a position of weakness, Prophet Muhammad was offered every worldly gain imaginable to try and persuade him to stop preaching the message of Islam: *If you desire money and wealth by preaching what you are preaching, we will collect enough for you from our own. We will make you the wealthiest of all of us. If it is chieftainship that you desire, we are ready to make you our paramount chief, so that we will never decide on a matter without you. If you desire rulership, we will make you our ruler…* *- Seerah ibn Hisham, vol. 1, pp. 293-294* Prophet Muhammad responded by saying: *Even if they place the sun in my right-hand, and the moon in my left-hand in return for giving up this matter, I will never stop, until either God makes it triumph or I die defending it.* *- Seerah ibn Hisham, vol. 1, pp. 265-266* What this incident demonstrates is that Muhammad was not motivated by money or power, but rather he was sincere about the message he was preaching. When his enemies realised that nothing would discourage him from preaching his message, they turned to more aggressive tactics. Prophet Muhammad went on to face extreme persecution and hostility in Mecca but he still did not give up the message of Islam. In the face of this stiff opposition many of his companions were discouraged, but he held steadfast to his mission and struggled on: *Narrated by Khabbab: I came to the Prophet while he was leaning against his sheet cloak in the shade of the Ka’ba. We were suffering greatly from the pagans in those days. I said (to him). “Will you invoke God (to help us)?” He sat down with a red face and said, “(A believer among) those who were before you used to be combed with iron combs so that nothing of his flesh or nerves would remain on his bones; yet that would never make him desert his religion. A saw might be put over the parting of his head which would be split into two parts, yet all that would never make him abandon his religion. God will surely complete this religion (i.e. Islam) so that a traveller from Sana’a to Hadramawt will not be afraid of anybody except God.” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith **#3852**]* He did not rest until the just rule of Islam was firmly established within his lifetime. Even though he often faced extraordinary odds in battles, the Prophet was not discouraged. Instead, the Qur’an talks about the faith of Muhammad and his companions rising when they were outnumbered by their enemies. Prophet Muhammad survived several attempts at his life, until he completed his mission and established justice by judging people according to the laws of God. Indeed the message of Islam was completed: *This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam… [Qur'an 5:3]*

@@tobytranter2266 Being persuaded of giving up God's mission would be by definition getting faltered or discouraged but he didn't. Some translations make it even more explicit: *New International Reader's Version* He will not grow weak or lose hope. He will not give up until he makes everything right on the earth. The islands will put their hope in his law. *New Century Version* he will not lose hope or give up until he brings justice to the world. And people far away will trust his teachings. *The Bible in Basic English* His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching. *The Message Bible* He won't tire out and quit. He won't be stopped until he's finished his work - to set things right on earth. Far-flung ocean islands wait expectantly for his teaching. What is courage if not the willingness to confront challenges, take risks, and endure hardship or pain despite the potential for negative consequences?
@@moizahmed4705 Going to the weakest Bible translations to scrape a qualifier for Muhammad? Of the translations you gave, he still explicitly fails two. He did grow weak and lost hope. You are trying to attach a definition of ‘discouraged’ not given in Isaiah. Abraham was discouraged, Elijah was discouraged both succeeded, but both faltered. To be discouraged does not mean you give up. Muhammad was discouraged, just because he did not give up does not mean he does not fail the condition. That is why he was cowardly and begging to be hidden in al-Bukhari 3-4 and why he needs the comfort in Surah 93 and why he wants to commit suicide. So now only two translations are available to be twisted and even then it is a stretch and eisegetical. If you become depressed, withdrawn, wish to hide away and are even suicidal, would you not then say you are tired out of that your light is out? I think almost everyone would.
Jews like tovia singer are more interested in nationalism and Jewish tribalism then in what Allah wants. Jews are like the pagan Arabs of Kuraish that were more interested in their tribal lineage then submitting to the will of Allah. Whenever the pagans were criticised for what they did, they would say “that is what our forefathers did” so they held their tribe, their culture and tradition higher then the will of Allah. And Talmudic Jews hold their tradition and Talmud and teachings of their rabbis higher then the will of Allah. Same with today Salafi Muslims who hold tradition and Hadith and the opinions of past scholars above the Quran.
Because he isn’t talking about Muhammad being a fulfilment or of this prophecy (which Muhammad fails). He is talking about Genesis 16-17 and the covenant with Ishmael. Ishmael who is not a great relative of Muhammad. At least you cannot make the claim with any basis or rational defence. The life of the prophet Muhammad Volume 1 pg 51 Al-sīra Al-Nabawiyya By Ibn Kathir Al-Suhaylī commented also that Mālik’s viewpoint was analogous to what was related of ‘Urwa b. al-Zubayr who is reported to have said, “We have found no one who knows the line between ‘Adnān and Ishmael.” It is reported the Ibn ‘Abbās said, “Between ‘Adnan and Ishmael there were 30 ancestors who are unknown.” Ibn ‘Abbās is also reputed to have said when he traced back lines of descent as far as ‘Adnān: “The genealogies have lied. Twice or thrice.” And that (scepticism) is even more characteristic of Ibn Mas’ud, whose (attitude) was like that of Ibn ‘Abbās. ‘Umar b. al-Khattāb stated, “We carry back the genealogy only as far as ‘Adnān.”
Isaiah 42:6 Isaiah 49:8 Both contain the verse saying. “I will KEEP you” Just like the comforter in John 14 (Who you Muslims think is your Arabian leader) is said to stay with the people FOREVER. Who as a human lasts forever on earth with an everlasting kingdom? The MESSIAH.
How can God foretold or prophesied a certain person like Muhammad that will contradict to Him. Because God in the Bible calling His people My Children and God said to David that I Am your Father (read Exodus 4 :22, Deuteronomy 14 :1, Proverbs 8 :32, Psalms 2:7 & John 1:12). And God knew you already even before you in the womb of your mother (Jeremiah 1:5). So Allah of Muhammad is Father to no one (Surah 19:88-92). And Muhammad don't believe God in the Bible is the Father. So Definitely not Muhammad.

Mispat Lagoyim, part of verse on Isaiah 42:1 in hebrew, means justice to Gentile 'Goyim' in hebrew means nations, single- 'goy'. In greek, it called 'etnos' In Peshitta, Matthew 12:18, which echoes Isaiah 42:1, the word 'goyim' translated as 'ummiyin', in Aramaic, which very close to "Ummiyin' in Quran. The word Ummiyin in Qur'an doesn't refer to 'illiterate'. But it refers to 'nations' or goy in hebrew, or etnos in greek. Many Old testament and New testament verse refer to this word. Actually, this has been prophecied in book of Revelation 11. Book of Revelation on New Testament, chapter 11 in specific, told us about the prophecy relating to Prophet Muhammad, his ummah/people (etnos). Frankly said regarding the time when the people (ummah/ummiyin/etnos/goyim) would take control of Jerusalem until until a time, even the exact year had been predicted. Also about the martyrdom of Prophet Muhammad and his family, destruction and slander in Islam.
Why did Allah protect Kabbah when there were 360 pagan idols there??? Surat Al-Fil is a Meccan sura and Meccan suras are chronologically earlier suras that were revealed to Muhammad at Mecca before the hijrah to Medina in 622 CE. Allah destroyed the army of elephants which were sent to destroy Kabbah, by an army of birds throwing mud pebbles at the elephants !! At that time there were 360 pagan idols in Kaaba. When were the idols in the Kaaba destroyed? When Muhammad's forces conquered Mecca in 630, he ordered the destruction of the pagan idols housed in the shrine and ordered it cleansed of all signs of polytheism.

"“Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the *NATIONS* ." - Isaiah 42:1. "“I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the *NATIONS* ," - Isaiah 42:6 In both verses, the Hebrew word is Gôyim. The servant will bring forth just TO THE NATIONS/GENTILES (ALL PEOPLE OTHER THAN JEWS.) Zakir (and Muslims alike) are created a false argument and then complaining that the false argument hasn't been met. Thus his argument completely falls apart. It is INARGUABLE that Jesus brought salvation TO THE NATIONS and more so than Islam has as Christianity is still the LARGEST RELIGION IN THE WORLD with 1/3 of the entire global population. AND to put the nail in the coffin on this ludicrous argument: 3) Do you really want to argue that in the 1/3 of the global population that believes in Christ for their salvation that there is a SMALL NUMBER as Zakir laughably tries to argue that are of Arabic decent? Please. The number of Arab Christians living in the middle east alone is estimated at 20-35 MILLION. That is just in the middle east where Islam persecutes Christians (no compulsion in religion my butt.)
Your points are too weak for me to even bother responding to especially since you are strawmanning what Zakir actually argued. Keep enjoying worshipping 3 gods
Everything in the Bible is about Israel and the Messiah. salvation for the Gentiles is only through the Messiah. Isaiah 49:6 Indeed He says, ‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
The Servant in Isaiah 42 cannot be Israel because Isaiah speaks of two very different servants. The first section of Isaiah 42, verses 1 - 17, describe a momentous servant in extremely positive terms, one who will be a “light for the Gentiles” (42:6), will “open eyes that are blind” and “free people from darkness” (42:7). This is the righteous servant who will eliminate idolatry and spread justice throughout the world. Meanwhile the second section of Isaiah 42, verses 18 - 25, describe a different kind of servant, one who is said to be “deaf and blind” (42:18), “plundered and looted”, “trapped in pits” and “hidden away in prisons” (42:22). In fact, Isaiah goes so far as to severely condemn this servant: *So he poured out on them his burning anger, the violence of war. It enveloped them in flames, yet they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart [Isaiah 42:25]* Just who is this condemned servant? Isaiah makes it clear that the servant of condemnation is none other than the nation of Israel: *Who is blind like the one in covenant with me, blind like the servant of the Lord? [Isaiah 42:19]* The “one in covenant with me” is a clear reference to the nation of Israel who were in covenant with God at the time Isaiah made this prophecy. Isaiah goes on to make it even more explicit: *Who handed Jacob over to become loot, and Israel to the plunderers? [Isaiah 42:24]* When one compares the characteristics in the different sections of Isaiah side-by-side it becomes obvious that two very different phenomena are being described: *“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. [Isaiah 42:6-7]* *“Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see! Who is blind but my servant, and deaf like the messenger I send? Who is blind like the one in covenant with me, blind like the servant of the LORD? You have seen many things, but you pay no attention; your ears are open, but you do not listen.” [Isaiah 42:18-20]* It is clear that the righteous servant cannot be the same personality as the condemned servant. It would not make sense for Isaiah to describe the servant as one who gives light and guides others out of darkness, only to then go on and describe the same servant as deaf and blind. A deaf and blind person (or people) cannot be a guiding light for others; they are in need of guidance themselves. Furthermore, Isaiah describes the condemned servant Israel as being trapped in a prison: *But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in pits or hidden away in prisons. They have become plunder, with no one to rescue them; they have been made loot, with no one to say, “Send them back.” [Isaiah 42:22]* By contrast, the righteous servant is said to free others from prisons: *to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. [Isaiah 42:7]* How can one who is said to free captives from darkness do so if they themselves are imprisoned? Again this demonstrates that Isaiah 42 can only be describing two very different servants. John N. Oswalt, an American scholar and distinguished professor of the Old Testament, rejects the notion that the righteous servant refers to the nation of Israel: *The identity of this ‘servant’ [in 42:1-9] has been the source of endless controversy. The differences between him and the servant Israel are striking. The servant Israel is fearful and blind, yet God loves him and will deliver him so that he can be God’s evidence to the nations that he is indeed God. But this Servant is of a different sort. He is always obedient and responsive to God, his mission is to bring justice to the nations for God, and he is to be a ‘light’ to the nations and a ‘covenant’ to the people (of Israel, see 49:6). In contrast to the promises of divine blessing constantly being given to the servant Israel, this servant receives no benefits through his ministry but only increasing difficulty. In sum, whoever this is, it is not the nation of Israel; it is another figure altogether.* *- John Oswalt, The NIV Application Commentary, 2003, p. 470, on Isaiah 42:1-9* In summary, when we consider the context of Isaiah 42 we can see that it’s impossible that the two servants being spoken of are the same, because their characteristics are mutually exclusive. Since Israel is explicitly identified as the blind and condemned servant, therefore the guiding and righteous servant must be someone other than Israel. The only possible conclusion that can be made by viewing these verses is the following: Isaiah 42 refers to two servants, a Prophet of God and Israel. Isaiah prophesies of a time when the Prophet, a servant who has wisdom, understanding and knowledge, will open the eyes and ears of God’s blinded and deaf servant Israel.
Servant in Isaiah 42 cannot be Jesus either because if we compare the characteristics of the Servant in Isaiah 42 with the life and teachings of Jesus as they are portrayed in the New Testament, then the Messiah Jesus falls short in fulfilling the prophecy. For example, Isaiah 42 states that the servant will not cry out: *He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. [Isaiah 42:2]* This disqualifies Jesus, who complained and literally cried out directly to God, according to the Bible, at many points in his ministry: *From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). [Matthew 27:45-46]* Another area where Jesus fails as a candidate is to do with establishing justice. Isaiah 42 states that the servant will establish justice on earth: *He will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his teaching the islands will put their hope. [Isaiah 42:4]* Jesus therefore cannot be the servant as, when he was asked whether he was the King of the Jews, Jesus stated that his kingdom was not of this world: *Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?” “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?” Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight...” [John 18:33-36]* Yet here Prophet Isaiah announces the advent of a figure with temporal powers who will establish global justice. For one to establish justice on the earth, one has to have spiritual as well as temporal capacity. Jesus rose without bringing justice to the nations, as his handful of disciples did not possess the strength required to enforce justice. In fact, Jesus and his disciples all left this world in a state of injustice, the exact opposite of what Isaiah 42 prophecies. Pagan empires like the Romans and Persians dominated much of the earth at that time, including the lands of Jesus and his early followers, enforcing their own unjust laws and not the laws of God. Christians, for hundreds of years after Jesus, were brutally oppressed by the pagan Romans who tortured and fed them to lions. Another issue with Jesus as a candidate is the target audience of the coming servant. Throughout Isaiah 42 there is the theme of idolatry describing those who worship idols as “blind” and being in “darkness”. It is also said that the idolaters will be “turned back in utter shame”: *I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols. [Isaiah 42:8]* *I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. But those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back in utter shame. [Isaiah 42:16-17]* This is unlikely to be a reference to Jesus whose lifetime opponents during his ministry were the Jewish religious leaders, the Sadducees and Pharisees. His people, the Israelites, were monotheists and not idol worshippers. On one occasion Jesus even told his disciples to stay away from the idol worshipping Gentiles, the exact opposite of what Isaiah prophesied. The Gospel of Matthew tells us that: *“These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: ‘Do not go among the Gentiles…’” [Matthew 10:5]* Another reason why this verse in Isaiah cannot apply to Jesus is that his people, the Israelites, had already received the Torah and a multitude of Prophets from God. In other words, they has already received the light of revelation and guidance and therefore cannot be said to be sitting in darkness. Isaiah 42 also gives us a list of momentous achievements for the coming servant. Chief of these is that: *The Lord will march out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies. [Isaiah 42:13]* By comparison, Jesus did not triumph over his enemies; according to Christians he was crucified by them. Moreover Jesus wasn’t interested in fighting, he was not a man of war; he was a pacifist according to the New Testament. He said such things as: *“for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.” [Matthew 26:52]* *“My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight…” [John 18:36]* Furthermore, Isaiah prophesied that people of Kedar and Sela will rejoice and sing for joy with the advent of the this Servant: *Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices; let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops. [Isaiah 42:11]* Throughout the Bible Kedar and his sons are linked to Arabia. For example the book of Ezekiel tells us that: *“Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams and goats." [Ezekiel 27:21]* The place Sela pinpoints the exact location in Arabia, the place been spoken of is the city of Madinah in Saudi Arabia because Sela is the name of the famous mountain in Madinah. Now Jesus has no historical association with Kedar or Sela. The New Testament has Jesus moving within ancient Palestine, in places like Nazareth and Bethlehem. He simply has no link to the deserts of Saudi Arabia, nor is there any record of the inhabitants of Madinah “rejoicing” and “singing for joy” with the advent of Jesus. The renowned British Arabist Richard Bell states: *“In spite of traditions to the effect that the picture of Jesus was found on one of the pillars of the Ka’bah, there is no good evidence of any seats of Christianity in the Hijaz or in the near neighbourhood of Makkah or even of Madinah”* *- Richard Bell, The Origin of Islam in its Christian Environment, p. 42*
God is our savior and he can forgive our sins without killing anyone: 3For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; 11I, even I, am the Lord, And besides Me there is no savior. 12I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are My witnesses,” 25“I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. Isaiah 43 “Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ Because the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes and observed them, he shall surely live. The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. “But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. Ezekiel 20: 19-21 “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. Isaiah 43:25
@@moizahmed4705 What is correct in your first comment is indeed that Isaiah 42 describes 2 different servants. And one of those servants is Israel. The question is: “who is the other servant?” You need to be aware, and I say it again, *the Bible is a Jewish book* Written by Jews, written about Jews, written for Jews, everything is Jewish. The book of Isaiah is written in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. A time with a lot of idolatry by much Israelites. The book of Isaiah is written by Isaiah. The name of Isaiah means: Salvation of YHWH. Isaiah, high level, consists of two parts. The first part (1-39) is about judgement, but between those judgement passages, you read also passages of hope. Passages about a world full of peace. (Isaiah 2 - They shall beat their swords into plowshares. & Isaiah 11 - The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb). The second part is about comfort. Chapter 40 starts with “Comfort, yes, comfort My people!” Notice that Jesus lived in Capernaum. Capernaum means ‘Village of comfort’. God uses Isaiah and his sons as signs for Israel. Isaiah 8:18 - Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel From the Lord of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion. Isaiah had two sons: 1. Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, meaning ‘seize the spoil, to take the prey’ 2. Shear-Jashub, meaning ‘The remnant will return’ In the first name you can read judgement. In the second name you can read hope. What does this say? : Isaiah 1 starts with a court case against Israel. God calls His witnesses: “Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!” Referring to the Deut.30:19 where the covenant is established with the heavens and the earth as witnesses. In the last 10 verses God announces the judgement. But chapter 2 starts with the beautiful future of Jerusalem. Through the book of Isaiah judgment and hope alternate. (❗️Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz and Shear-Jashub) Isaiah 7 describes an important event. Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to make war against it. And they said to each other: “Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, *and set a king over them, the son of Tabel* ” God responds and said: “It shall not stand, Nor shall it come to pass.” To insure king Ahaz, God gave Ahaz a sign in Isaiah 7: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel (God with us). Isaiah 9 gives more details about this child: For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon *the throne of David and over His kingdom* , To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. In these passages God proceeds with His promise to establish an eternal kingdom on the throne of David (2 Sam.7:12-14). No other king (outside the lineage of David) will sit on the throne of David, until the eternal King will sits on the throne. But there is more to tell about this future King. He will be king, *but through suffering* Just like king David, who was the anointed king, who also need to go through suffering. He suffered as a servant. The prophecies about this servant are from chapter 42-53. And these chapter fit Jesus perfectly. Pilate (as a Gentile) perfectly confirms the kingship and suffering of this promised man. Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross above Jesus. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. This Jesus was the Servant of YHWH (42:9). Jesus was the Elect One: “in whom My soul delights!” (42:2 and Mat.3:17) Jesus didn’t came to cause a revolution. (42:2) Jesus didn’t condemn or reject His own Jewish suffering people (42:3) He came to bring justice on the cross, although it was hard (42:4) Jesus was the One with Gods Spirit (Isaiah 61 + Luke 4) This same Servant in Isaiah 50:5-6 The Lord God has opened My ear; And I was not rebellious, Nor did I turn away. I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting. And this same Servant in Isaiah 53: vs4: Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; vs5: He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, vs7: Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. This Servant is so much more. He is the promised *Jewish* Messiah. His name is Yeshua the Messiah. He is the ‘God with us’. He brought real justice by the cross. He will return and will be the King of Israel!
@@IamTimOtheus I have already made the argument why Isaiah 42 cannot apply to Jesus which you didn't addressed. The 42nd chapter of the Book of Isaiah in the Bible clearly foretells the coming of an Arabian Prophet, specifically Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him. Isaiah describes itself as a prophecy about the future: *"See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare..." [Isaiah 42:9]* Isaiah describes the very special person that God will send: *“Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight..." [Isaiah 42:1]* At least three of the names of Prophet Muhammad are mentioned - “servant”, “chosen one” and “in whom I delight”. Prophet Muhammad is known as God’s Servant, in Arabic “abd - ullah”. “Chosen one” is “Mustafa” in Arabic. This is another of the names of Prophet Muhammad. The one in whom God ‘delights in’ shows that this person is beloved to God. ‘Habibullah’ in Arabic, which means “Beloved of God”, also happens to be one of Prophet Muhammad’s names. *1. Concerning Arabia* Isaiah also reveals the location of this special person. It states: *"Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices; let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice..." [Isaiah 42:11]* Out of all the nations on earth, he chose to highlight Kedar's location so we should pay special attention. Throughout the Bible Kedar and his sons are linked to Arabia. For example the book of Ezekiel tells us that: *“Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams and goats." [Ezekiel 27:21]* *2. The city of Madinah* Isaiah goes on to narrow the location down further to a specific city within Arabia. It states that: *"...Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops." [Isaiah 42:11]* The place Sela pinpoints the exact location in Arabia, the place been spoken of is the city of Madinah in Saudi Arabia because Sela is the name of the famous mountain in Madinah which is the city of Prophet Muhammad. *3. What will he bring?* Isaiah informs us that this special person will bring something new. Mankind is told that: *"Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth..." [Isaiah 42:10]* The statement “a new song” means a new way of worship. This is exactly what Islam represents. The emphasis on the new song here is singing the praise of God all over the earth. The Qur’an opens with the statement “Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds” and is recited by Muslims all over the world during prayers every day. The new song cannot refer to Jesus because Jesus obeyed and followed the law of Moses throughout his life. Jesus didn't sing a new song, he sang the same song of Moses, the Torah. Moreover the disciples of Jesus also followed the law of Moses even after Jesus departed. *4. Who will he be sent to?* Isaiah emphasises the universal mission of the coming person. By mentioning that he will be made: *"...a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles” [Isaiah 42:6]* Gentiles means non Jews. The Qur’an confirms that Prophet Muhammad was sent to the whole of mankind, Jews and Gentiles alike. In the Qur’an God tells us: *We have sent you [O Prophet] as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner for the whole of mankind, but most people have no knowledge. [Qur'an 34:28]* This verse in Isaiah cannot apply to Jesus because in the Gospel of Matthew Jesus said: *“I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” [Matthew 15:24]* Isaiah further states that: *“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them…” [Isaiah 42:16]* The pagan Arabs at the time of Prophet Muhammad fit this description perfectly because they had not been sent a messenger prior to Muhammad. The Qur’an bears witness to this, God states that Prophet Muhammad was sent to: *…warn a people to whom no warner has come before… [Qur'an 32:3]* This verse in Isaiah cannot apply to Jesus because his people the Israelites had already received the multitude of Prophets from God. Isaiah emphasis that this special person will be sent to: *"those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods..." [Isaiah 42:17]* The whole of Arabia at the start of Muhammad’s Prophethood consisted of idol worshippers. Again this cannot be a reference to Jesus because his people the Israelites were monotheist and not idol worshippers. Moreover Jesus explicitly told his disciples to stay away from idol worshipping Gentiles, the exact opposite of Isaiah, the Gospel of Matthew tells us that: *These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles..." [Matthew 10:5]* Isaiah further states that this special person will be a warrior and will: *...march out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies. [Isaiah 42:13]* Throughout history God has dealt sternly with those who are sent guidance and persist in disbelief. Prophet Muhammad had to engage in many battles with the idol worshipping enemies of God and ultimately prevailed against them. By comparison Jesus did not triumph over his enemies. According to Christians he was crucified by them. Moreover Jesus wasn't interested in fighting because he was not the man of war. He was a pacifist according to Bible, he said such things as: *"...for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.” [Matthew 26:52]* *“My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight…” [John 18:36]* *5. What will he achieve?* Isaiah gives us a list of momentous achievements for this special person. Chief of these is that the idol worshippers: *...will be turned back in utter shame. [Isaiah 42:17]* Not only did Prophet Muhammad conquer Mecca, the Pagan capital of Arabia, but by the end of his life, in just 23 short years of Prophethood, Arabia had shunned idol worship and now worshipped the One true God of Abraham. This cannot apply to Jesus as it was Christians themselves who were humiliated and greatly ashamed for hundreds of years after Jesus. They were persecuted at the hands of the Roman Empire who were idol worshippers, they executed some of the apostles of Jesus such as Peter and Paul. Christians were tortured and even fed to the lions. Finally Isaiah closes with an admonishment: *“Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see…You have seen many things, but you pay no attention; your ears are open, but you do not listen…Which of you will listen to this or pay close attention in time to come?” [Isaiah 42:18-23]* It seems clear that the “deaf and blind” Isaiah is talking about in this verse are those who reject Prophet Muhammad. Who among you will heed God by acknowledging him, who will “listen” and “pay close attention in time to come”. *"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right..." [Qur'an 7:157]*
Prophet Muhammad prophesied in :
Isa 60:7 All the (flocks of Kedar) shall be (gathered together unto thee), the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee; they shall come up with acceptance on Mine altar, and I will glorify My glorious house.
Isa 42:11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, (the villages that Kedar doth inhabit) ; let the inhabitants of Sela exult, let them (shout from the top of the mountains).
Ezek27:21 (Arabia), and all the (princes of Kedar), they were the merchants of thy hand; in lambs, and rams, and goats, in these were they thy merchants.
KEDAR is the second son of ISHMAEL the ancestor of Prophet Muhammad :
Gen 25:13 And these are the names of the (sons of Ishmael) , by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebaioth; and ( KEDAR), and Adbeel, and Mibsam
Isaiah 42 can't be Jesus because it says that that individual won't "cry out or yell out "and according to the Christian Bible the New Testament Jesus was crying out yelling out calling people names whipping people you know
You know it's hilarious Jesus in the Bible in the New testament says a man cannot mount two horses yet in the gospels they have Jesus melting a donkey and a cult at the same time this is what it says and it does it that he mounted a donkey and a cult kind of like a a circus act maybe I don't know I don't even believe it's true but as a Jesus says you can't mount to animals at the same time but the Christians they put him on two animals at the same time it is a very strange you know it is it's a very strange belief system and a lot of Christians haven't never even read that before

Isaiah 21:13-17 is battle of Badr
Isa 21:13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
Isa 21:14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.
Isa 21:15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
Isa 21:16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
Isa 21:17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.
It’s talking about a prophecy which was going to happen at a later time. prophesied on future events. Isaiah 21:13-17 is talking about Madinah. Dedanim and Tema are located towards Madinah in the home city of Prophet Mohammad. Prophet Mohammad ran with his followers from Mecca to Madinah and then came back and defeated the mighty Quraish tribe. This Isaiah 21:13-17 is battle of Badr
1. It says ‘Burden upon Arabia’ for the companies of DEDANIM. Dedanim is in today’s Saudi Arabia, close to Madinah city of Prophet Mohammad.
2. It then talks about a man and a group of people escaping from their enemies to Tema, which again is in today’s Saudi Arabia north of Madinah. Tema was 9th son of Ishmael.
3. Then it says the mighty men of Kedar would be defeated after a year. This Battle of Badr took place in Badr which is is Madinah.
using the word 'ran' with the prophet PBUH is inappropriate i think. maybe it would be better if u edit this comment my dear brother.
Remember Jesus said think not that I've come to bring peace but a sword Jesus is claiming that he came to bring a sword he didn't come to bring peace people call him to Prince of Peace but he says he's not peaceful and the day he made a whip and started whipping Merchants right in front of the synagogue shows you that he wasn't peaceful according to the Christian Bible not according to the Muslims he would yell at Jews calling them you Generation of Vipers need to call the Jews you empty Graves

additionally, the use of the term Iseland, is in reference to the the Arabian Peninsula as it has been called in local language.
Indeed, until today, the inhabitants of Arabia are refered to as Arabs of the Iseland, when contrast is needed between them and other Arabs of Syria, Iraq, lebanon, Palestine, Egypt& rest of North Africa. All the people concerned know exactly which is the Iseland& who the Iselanders are, which is another reference to the nationality of Muhammed PBUH

Isa29:12 and the writing is delivered to him that is not learned, saying: 'Read this, I pray thee'; and he saith: 'I am not learned.'
29:11 is interesting! it could be in reference to some of the pagan of quraish that complained why the Quran was not given to someone they regarded of more higher stature from the 2 cities of Taif and Mecca. So to these men that the pagan quraysh preferred, they were able to read but their hearts were sealed for the message of the Quran. while the prophet couldn’t read but his heart was open for the Quran. And Allah answers that he knows best who deserves his message, and Allah is not impressed by the wealth or status of any man

1) Isaiah 42 is one of the ‘go-to’ passages for Muslims to find Muhammad in the Bible. You are compelled to attempt this in light of Q 7:157. So, I understand the compulsion. Yet, the process fails each time. It is interesting that Muslims wish to find Muhammad in Isaiah 42, given that the Qur’an says he can be found in the Torah (Q 7:157), which... he can't. But, let us address Isaiah 42.
Questions that you must ask if you wish to apply chapter 42 to Muhammad:
Why is Muhammad called ‘Israel’? (49:3) This is the same servant spoken of in 42.
Is his mission first (though not exclusively) to the Jews? (49:5). The same servant is sent first to the Jews. Was Muhammad sent to the Jews?
Was Muhammad beaten on his back, spit on, and had his beard pulled out? (50:6). We know that this happened to Jesus (Matthew 26:67).
Most strikingly, is Muhammad killed for the sins of others, and resurrected? (52:13-53:12).
These are just SOME of the verses that are applied to THE SERVANT spoken of in isaiah 42. CLEARLY this was not fulfilled in Muhammad and CLEARLY Jesus became the fulfillment. Matthew quotes Isaiah 42:1-5 and plainly says it is a prophecy fulfilled in Jesus (Matthew 12:16-21).
I'm sorry, but isaiah 42 is not about Muhammad.
2) Further, Isaiah 42 is about GENTILES becoming believers, not about Mouhammad creating the religion of Islam and Muslim adherents. "I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles ,"
Isaiah 42 is about GENTILES. Arabic people, descendants of Ishmael, would be INCLUDED in that number certainly but it is about GENTILES. The text says GENTILES. Who are GENTILES??? Anyone who is not a Jew. Trying to make this text about MUSLIMS being brought into the fold of believers is ridiculous as it falls short of the fulness of the text. It most certainly isn't ONLY about Muslims now is it? Unless you want to try and argue that only MUSLIMS are gentiles and that would be a fun argument to see.

Jesus has no historical association with Kedar or Sela. The New Testament has Jesus moving within ancient Palestine, in places like Nazareth and Bethlehem. He simply has no link to the deserts of Saudi Arabia, nor is there any record of the inhabitants of Madinah “rejoicing” and “singing for joy” with the advent of Jesus.
The renowned British Arabist Richard Bell states:
*“In spite of traditions to the effect that the picture of Jesus was found on one of the pillars of the Ka’bah, there is no good evidence of any seats of Christianity in the Hijaz or in the near neighbourhood of Makkah or even of Madinah”*
*- Richard Bell, The Origin of Islam in its Christian Environment, p. 42*
By contrast, when Prophet Muhammad arrived in Madinah, its inhabitants were overjoyed and cried out in happiness:
*I never saw the people of Madinah so happy with anything as they were with his arrival. I even saw the little boys and girls saying, “Here is the Messenger of God; he has come!” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith **#4941**]*
*Then men and women climbed upon house-tops; the boys and servants scattered in the way, and they were all calling out: ‘Muhammad! Messenger of God! Muhammad! Messenger of God!’ [Sahih Muslim, Hadith **#2009** d]*
Selah is near the Dead Sea and that has no bearing.
The Song is what goes to these places (verse 10-12) not the prophet.
And what is Mo's connection to Selah, the isles and the Islands if that is what you want to claim?
and Muhammad fails this prophecy.
Isaiah 42:4 "...nor be discouraged..."
don't need to look far, read al-Bukhari 3&4.
@@tobytranter2266
Selah near the Dead Sea would be in Edom but Isaiah is speaking about the Selah of Kedar which would be the mountain in Madinah.
Verses 10-12 is Isaiah telling the people of Madinah to rejoice and sing God's praises because of the advent of the servant he just mentioned and the only man who fulfilled this is Muhammad.
Prophet Muhammad didn't fail this prophecy:
*“He will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth…” [Isaiah 42:4]*
Early into his mission when the Muslims were in a position of weakness, Prophet Muhammad was offered every worldly gain imaginable to try and persuade him to stop preaching the message of Islam:
*If you desire money and wealth by preaching what you are preaching, we will collect enough for you from our own. We will make you the wealthiest of all of us. If it is chieftainship that you desire, we are ready to make you our paramount chief, so that we will never decide on a matter without you. If you desire rulership, we will make you our ruler…*
*- Seerah ibn Hisham, vol. 1, pp. 293-294*
Prophet Muhammad responded by saying:
*Even if they place the sun in my right-hand, and the moon in my left-hand in return for giving up this matter, I will never stop, until either God makes it triumph or I die defending it.*
*- Seerah ibn Hisham, vol. 1, pp. 265-266*
What this incident demonstrates is that Muhammad was not motivated by money or power, but rather he was sincere about the message he was preaching. When his enemies realised that nothing would discourage him from preaching his message, they turned to more aggressive tactics.
Prophet Muhammad went on to face extreme persecution and hostility in Mecca but he still did not give up the message of Islam. In the face of this stiff opposition many of his companions were discouraged, but he held steadfast to his mission and struggled on:
*Narrated by Khabbab: I came to the Prophet while he was leaning against his sheet cloak in the shade of the Ka’ba. We were suffering greatly from the pagans in those days. I said (to him). “Will you invoke God (to help us)?” He sat down with a red face and said, “(A believer among) those who were before you used to be combed with iron combs so that nothing of his flesh or nerves would remain on his bones; yet that would never make him desert his religion. A saw might be put over the parting of his head which would be split into two parts, yet all that would never make him abandon his religion. God will surely complete this religion (i.e. Islam) so that a traveller from Sana’a to Hadramawt will not be afraid of anybody except God.” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith **#3852**]*
He did not rest until the just rule of Islam was firmly established within his lifetime. Even though he often faced extraordinary odds in battles, the Prophet was not discouraged. Instead, the Qur’an talks about the faith of Muhammad and his companions rising when they were outnumbered by their enemies.
Prophet Muhammad survived several attempts at his life, until he completed his mission and established justice by judging people according to the laws of God. Indeed the message of Islam was completed:
*This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam… [Qur'an 5:3]*

Being persuaded of giving up God's mission would be by definition getting faltered or discouraged but he didn't. Some translations make it even more explicit:

He will not grow weak or lose hope. He will not give up until he makes everything right on the earth. The islands will put their hope in his law.
*New Century Version*
he will not lose hope or give up until he brings justice to the world. And people far away will trust his teachings.
*The Bible in Basic English*
His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching.
*The Message Bible*
He won't tire out and quit. He won't be stopped until he's finished his work - to set things right on earth. Far-flung ocean islands wait expectantly for his teaching.

@@moizahmed4705
Going to the weakest Bible translations to scrape a qualifier for Muhammad?
Of the translations you gave, he still explicitly fails two.
He did grow weak and lost hope.
You are trying to attach a definition of ‘discouraged’ not given in Isaiah.
Abraham was discouraged, Elijah was discouraged both succeeded, but both faltered.
To be discouraged does not mean you give up. Muhammad was discouraged, just because he did not give up does not mean he does not fail the condition.
That is why he was cowardly and begging to be hidden in al-Bukhari 3-4 and why he needs the comfort in Surah 93 and why he wants to commit suicide.
So now only two translations are available to be twisted and even then it is a stretch and eisegetical.
If you become depressed, withdrawn, wish to hide away and are even suicidal, would you not then say you are tired out of that your light is out?
I think almost everyone would.

From Ishmael To Islam: Rabbi Tovia Singer Explores the Covenant that Endured Jahiliyyah in Arabia
ruclips.net/video/HYtjq4HxI7E/видео.html
3:30 @darkness2noor Rabbi Tovia Singer comes up with all of this and yet perhaps you can explain, why is he not a Muslim?
Jews like tovia singer are more interested in nationalism and Jewish tribalism then in what Allah wants. Jews are like the pagan Arabs of Kuraish that were more interested in their tribal lineage then submitting to the will of Allah. Whenever the pagans were criticised for what they did, they would say “that is what our forefathers did” so they held their tribe, their culture and tradition higher then the will of Allah. And Talmudic Jews hold their tradition and Talmud and teachings of their rabbis higher then the will of Allah. Same with today Salafi Muslims who hold tradition and Hadith and the opinions of past scholars above the Quran.
Because he isn’t talking about Muhammad being a fulfilment or of this prophecy (which Muhammad fails).
He is talking about Genesis 16-17 and the covenant with Ishmael.
Ishmael who is not a great relative of Muhammad.
At least you cannot make the claim with any basis or rational defence.

It is reported the Ibn ‘Abbās said, “Between ‘Adnan and Ishmael there were 30 ancestors who are unknown.”
Ibn ‘Abbās is also reputed to have said when he traced back lines of descent as far as ‘Adnān: “The genealogies have lied. Twice or thrice.” And that (scepticism) is even more characteristic of Ibn Mas’ud, whose (attitude) was like that of Ibn ‘Abbās.

How can God foretold or prophesied a certain person like Muhammad that will contradict to Him. Because God in the Bible calling His people My Children and God said to David that I Am your Father (read Exodus 4 :22, Deuteronomy 14 :1, Proverbs 8 :32, Psalms 2:7 & John 1:12). And God knew you already even before you in the womb of your mother (Jeremiah 1:5).
So Allah of Muhammad is Father to no one (Surah 19:88-92). And Muhammad don't believe God in the Bible is the Father.

There is no word Trinity written in the Bible, just like the word Shahada was not written in your Quran.
The Catholic Church called it Trinity because it mentioned and speaks about the three, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit but it doesn't mean three Gods. Because All Christians believed in One God The Father who is Spirit that was revealed Himself in the Flesh in the presence of our LORD Jesus Christ.
Just like in the Quran. It also mentioned Allah, Ruh ul qudus (read Surah 5:110, Surah 16:102 & Surah 2:87) and the Son (Issa) but it doesn't mean three Gods, because All Muslims believed in One God "Allah".
How funny! According to the Christain faith, Jesus was the son of God, and not a servant. So before opening your confused mouth, decide whether he was a son or a servant? If a servant, then was God his own servant?
Mispat Lagoyim, part of verse on Isaiah 42:1 in hebrew, means justice to Gentile
'Goyim' in hebrew means nations, single- 'goy'.
In greek, it called 'etnos'
In Peshitta, Matthew 12:18, which echoes Isaiah 42:1, the word 'goyim' translated as 'ummiyin', in Aramaic, which very close to "Ummiyin' in Quran.
The word Ummiyin in Qur'an doesn't refer to 'illiterate'. But it refers to 'nations' or goy in hebrew, or etnos in greek.
Many Old testament and New testament verse refer to this word.
Actually, this has been prophecied in book of Revelation 11.
Book of Revelation on New Testament, chapter 11 in specific, told us about the prophecy relating to Prophet Muhammad, his ummah/people (etnos). Frankly said regarding the time when the people (ummah/ummiyin/etnos/goyim) would take control of Jerusalem until until a time, even the exact year had been predicted. Also about the martyrdom of Prophet Muhammad and his family, destruction and slander in Islam.
Why did Allah protect Kabbah when there were 360 pagan idols there???
Surat Al-Fil is a Meccan sura and Meccan suras are chronologically earlier suras that were revealed to Muhammad at Mecca before the hijrah to Medina in 622 CE. Allah destroyed the army of elephants which were sent to destroy Kabbah, by an army of birds throwing mud pebbles at the elephants !! At that time there were 360 pagan idols in Kaaba.
When were the idols in the Kaaba destroyed?
When Muhammad's forces conquered Mecca in 630, he ordered the destruction of the pagan idols housed in the shrine and ordered it cleansed of all signs of polytheism.
This was after the idols were destroyed

2) IN THIS VIDEO, WHICH I AM COMMENTING ON, Zakir ATTEMPTS to refute the idea that the Servant in Isaiah 42 can't be Jesus because it was not Ismael coming to monotheism as they had been steeped in paganism prior. The simple fact of the matter is that he is trying to LIMIT Isaiah 42 to "Ishmaelites" which it does NOT state in Isaiah 42. "“Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the *NATIONS* ." - Isaiah 42:1. "“I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people,
As a light to the *NATIONS* ," - Isaiah 42:6
In both verses, the Hebrew word is Gôyim. The servant will bring forth just TO THE NATIONS/GENTILES (ALL PEOPLE OTHER THAN JEWS.)
Zakir (and Muslims alike) are created a false argument and then complaining that the false argument hasn't been met. Thus his argument completely falls apart. It is INARGUABLE that Jesus brought salvation TO THE NATIONS and more so than Islam has as Christianity is still the LARGEST RELIGION IN THE WORLD with 1/3 of the entire global population.
AND to put the nail in the coffin on this ludicrous argument:
3) Do you really want to argue that in the 1/3 of the global population that believes in Christ for their salvation that there is a SMALL NUMBER as Zakir laughably tries to argue that are of Arabic decent? Please. The number of Arab Christians living in the middle east alone is estimated at 20-35 MILLION. That is just in the middle east where Islam persecutes Christians (no compulsion in religion my butt.)
Your points are too weak for me to even bother responding to especially since you are strawmanning what Zakir actually argued. Keep enjoying worshipping 3 gods
Everything in the Bible is about Israel and the Messiah. salvation for the Gentiles is only through the Messiah.
Isaiah 49:6 Indeed He says,
‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob,
And to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles,
That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”
The Servant in Isaiah 42 cannot be Israel because Isaiah speaks of two very different servants. The first section of Isaiah 42, verses 1 - 17, describe a momentous servant in extremely positive terms, one who will be a “light for the Gentiles” (42:6), will “open eyes that are blind” and “free people from darkness” (42:7). This is the righteous servant who will eliminate idolatry and spread justice throughout the world. Meanwhile the second section of Isaiah 42, verses 18 - 25, describe a different kind of servant, one who is said to be “deaf and blind” (42:18), “plundered and looted”, “trapped in pits” and “hidden away in prisons” (42:22).
In fact, Isaiah goes so far as to severely condemn this servant:
*So he poured out on them his burning anger, the violence of war. It enveloped them in flames, yet they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart [Isaiah 42:25]*
Just who is this condemned servant? Isaiah makes it clear that the servant of condemnation is none other than the nation of Israel:
*Who is blind like the one in covenant with me, blind like the servant of the Lord? [Isaiah 42:19]*
The “one in covenant with me” is a clear reference to the nation of Israel who were in covenant with God at the time Isaiah made this prophecy. Isaiah goes on to make it even more explicit:
*Who handed Jacob over to become loot, and Israel to the plunderers? [Isaiah 42:24]*
When one compares the characteristics in the different sections of Isaiah side-by-side it becomes obvious that two very different phenomena are being described:
*“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. [Isaiah 42:6-7]*
*“Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see! Who is blind but my servant, and deaf like the messenger I send? Who is blind like the one in covenant with me, blind like the servant of the LORD? You have seen many things, but you pay no attention; your ears are open, but you do not listen.” [Isaiah 42:18-20]*
It is clear that the righteous servant cannot be the same personality as the condemned servant. It would not make sense for Isaiah to describe the servant as one who gives light and guides others out of darkness, only to then go on and describe the same servant as deaf and blind. A deaf and blind person (or people) cannot be a guiding light for others; they are in need of guidance themselves.
Furthermore, Isaiah describes the condemned servant Israel as being trapped in a prison:
*But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in pits or hidden away in prisons. They have become plunder, with no one to rescue them; they have been made loot, with no one to say, “Send them back.” [Isaiah 42:22]*
By contrast, the righteous servant is said to free others from prisons:
*to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. [Isaiah 42:7]*
How can one who is said to free captives from darkness do so if they themselves are imprisoned? Again this demonstrates that Isaiah 42 can only be describing two very different servants.
John N. Oswalt, an American scholar and distinguished professor of the Old Testament, rejects the notion that the righteous servant refers to the nation of Israel:
*The identity of this ‘servant’ [in 42:1-9] has been the source of endless controversy. The differences between him and the servant Israel are striking. The servant Israel is fearful and blind, yet God loves him and will deliver him so that he can be God’s evidence to the nations that he is indeed God. But this Servant is of a different sort. He is always obedient and responsive to God, his mission is to bring justice to the nations for God, and he is to be a ‘light’ to the nations and a ‘covenant’ to the people (of Israel, see 49:6). In contrast to the promises of divine blessing constantly being given to the servant Israel, this servant receives no benefits through his ministry but only increasing difficulty. In sum, whoever this is, it is not the nation of Israel; it is another figure altogether.*
*- John Oswalt, The NIV Application Commentary, 2003, p. 470, on Isaiah 42:1-9*
In summary, when we consider the context of Isaiah 42 we can see that it’s impossible that the two servants being spoken of are the same, because their characteristics are mutually exclusive.
Since Israel is explicitly identified as the blind and condemned servant, therefore the guiding and righteous servant must be someone other than Israel. The only possible conclusion that can be made by viewing these verses is the following: Isaiah 42 refers to two servants, a Prophet of God and Israel.
Isaiah prophesies of a time when the Prophet, a servant who has wisdom, understanding and knowledge, will open the eyes and ears of God’s blinded and deaf servant Israel.
Servant in Isaiah 42 cannot be Jesus either because if we compare the characteristics of the Servant in Isaiah 42 with the life and teachings of Jesus as they are portrayed in the New Testament, then the Messiah Jesus falls short in fulfilling the prophecy.
For example, Isaiah 42 states that the servant will not cry out:
*He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. [Isaiah 42:2]*
This disqualifies Jesus, who complained and literally cried out directly to God, according to the Bible, at many points in his ministry:
*From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). [Matthew 27:45-46]*
Another area where Jesus fails as a candidate is to do with establishing justice. Isaiah 42 states that the servant will establish justice on earth:
*He will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his teaching the islands will put their hope. [Isaiah 42:4]*
Jesus therefore cannot be the servant as, when he was asked whether he was the King of the Jews, Jesus stated that his kingdom was not of this world:
*Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?” “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?” Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight...” [John 18:33-36]*
Yet here Prophet Isaiah announces the advent of a figure with temporal powers who will establish global justice. For one to establish justice on the earth, one has to have spiritual as well as temporal capacity.
Jesus rose without bringing justice to the nations, as his handful of disciples did not possess the strength required to enforce justice. In fact, Jesus and his disciples all left this world in a state of injustice, the exact opposite of what Isaiah 42 prophecies.
Pagan empires like the Romans and Persians dominated much of the earth at that time, including the lands of Jesus and his early followers, enforcing their own unjust laws and not the laws of God. Christians, for hundreds of years after Jesus, were brutally oppressed by the pagan Romans who tortured and fed them to lions.
Another issue with Jesus as a candidate is the target audience of the coming servant. Throughout Isaiah 42 there is the theme of idolatry describing those who worship idols as “blind” and being in “darkness”. It is also said that the idolaters will be “turned back in utter shame”:
*I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols. [Isaiah 42:8]*
*I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. But those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back in utter shame. [Isaiah 42:16-17]*
This is unlikely to be a reference to Jesus whose lifetime opponents during his ministry were the Jewish religious leaders, the Sadducees and Pharisees. His people, the Israelites, were monotheists and not idol worshippers.
On one occasion Jesus even told his disciples to stay away from the idol worshipping Gentiles, the exact opposite of what Isaiah prophesied. The Gospel of Matthew tells us that:
*“These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: ‘Do not go among the Gentiles…’” [Matthew 10:5]*
Another reason why this verse in Isaiah cannot apply to Jesus is that his people, the Israelites, had already received the Torah and a multitude of Prophets from God. In other words, they has already received the light of revelation and guidance and therefore cannot be said to be sitting in darkness.
Isaiah 42 also gives us a list of momentous achievements for the coming servant. Chief of these is that:
*The Lord will march out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies. [Isaiah 42:13]*
By comparison, Jesus did not triumph over his enemies; according to Christians he was crucified by them.
Moreover Jesus wasn’t interested in fighting, he was not a man of war; he was a pacifist according to the New Testament.
He said such things as:
*“for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.” [Matthew 26:52]*
*“My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight…” [John 18:36]*
Furthermore, Isaiah prophesied that people of Kedar and Sela will rejoice and sing for joy with the advent of the this Servant:
*Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices; let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops. [Isaiah 42:11]*
Throughout the Bible Kedar and his sons are linked to Arabia. For example the book of Ezekiel tells us that:
*“Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams and goats." [Ezekiel 27:21]*
The place Sela pinpoints the exact location in Arabia, the place been spoken of is the city of Madinah in Saudi Arabia because Sela is the name of the famous mountain in Madinah.
Now Jesus has no historical association with Kedar or Sela. The New Testament has Jesus moving within ancient Palestine, in places like Nazareth and Bethlehem. He simply has no link to the deserts of Saudi Arabia, nor is there any record of the inhabitants of Madinah “rejoicing” and “singing for joy” with the advent of Jesus.
The renowned British Arabist Richard Bell states:
*“In spite of traditions to the effect that the picture of Jesus was found on one of the pillars of the Ka’bah, there is no good evidence of any seats of Christianity in the Hijaz or in the near neighbourhood of Makkah or even of Madinah”*
*- Richard Bell, The Origin of Islam in its Christian Environment, p. 42*
God is our savior and he can forgive our sins without killing anyone:
3For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
11I, even I, am the Lord,
And besides Me there is no savior.
12I have declared and saved,
I have proclaimed,
And there was no foreign god among you;
Therefore you are My witnesses,”
25“I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake;
And I will not remember your sins.
Isaiah 43
“Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ Because the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes and observed them, he shall surely live. The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
“But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
Ezekiel 20: 19-21
“I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake;
And I will not remember your sins.

What is correct in your first comment is indeed that Isaiah 42 describes 2 different servants. And one of those servants is Israel. The question is: “who is the other servant?”
You need to be aware, and I say it again, *the Bible is a Jewish book* Written by Jews, written about Jews, written for Jews, everything is Jewish. The book of Isaiah is written in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. A time with a lot of idolatry by much Israelites.
The book of Isaiah is written by Isaiah. The name of Isaiah means: Salvation of YHWH.
Isaiah, high level, consists of two parts. The first part (1-39) is about judgement, but between those judgement passages, you read also passages of hope. Passages about a world full of peace. (Isaiah 2 - They shall beat their swords into plowshares. & Isaiah 11 - The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb).
The second part is about comfort. Chapter 40 starts with “Comfort, yes, comfort My people!” Notice that Jesus lived in Capernaum. Capernaum means ‘Village of comfort’.
God uses Isaiah and his sons as signs for Israel. Isaiah 8:18 - Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel From the Lord of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion.
Isaiah had two sons:
1. Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, meaning ‘seize the spoil, to take the prey’
2. Shear-Jashub, meaning ‘The remnant will return’
In the first name you can read judgement. In the second name you can read hope.
What does this say? :
Isaiah 1 starts with a court case against Israel. God calls His witnesses: “Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!” Referring to the Deut.30:19 where the covenant is established with the heavens and the earth as witnesses. In the last 10 verses God announces the judgement.
But chapter 2 starts with the beautiful future of Jerusalem.
Through the book of Isaiah judgment and hope alternate. (❗️Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz and Shear-Jashub)
Isaiah 7 describes an important event. Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to make war against it.
And they said to each other: “Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, *and set a king over them, the son of Tabel* ”
God responds and said: “It shall not stand, Nor shall it come to pass.” To insure king Ahaz, God gave Ahaz a sign in Isaiah 7:
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel (God with us).
Isaiah 9 gives more details about this child:
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon *the throne of David and over His kingdom* , To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
In these passages God proceeds with His promise to establish an eternal kingdom on the throne of David (2 Sam.7:12-14). No other king (outside the lineage of David) will sit on the throne of David, until the eternal King will sits on the throne.
But there is more to tell about this future King. He will be king, *but through suffering* Just like king David, who was the anointed king, who also need to go through suffering.
He suffered as a servant. The prophecies about this servant are from chapter 42-53. And these chapter fit Jesus perfectly. Pilate (as a Gentile) perfectly confirms the kingship and suffering of this promised man. Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross above Jesus. And the writing was:
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
This Jesus was the Servant of YHWH (42:9).
Jesus was the Elect One: “in whom My soul delights!” (42:2 and Mat.3:17)
Jesus didn’t came to cause a revolution. (42:2)
Jesus didn’t condemn or reject His own Jewish suffering people (42:3)
He came to bring justice on the cross, although it was hard (42:4)
Jesus was the One with Gods Spirit (Isaiah 61 + Luke 4)
This same Servant in Isaiah 50:5-6
The Lord God has opened My ear; And I was not rebellious, Nor did I turn away. I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
And this same Servant in Isaiah 53:
vs4: Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows;
vs5: He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
vs7: Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.
This Servant is so much more. He is the promised *Jewish* Messiah. His name is Yeshua the Messiah. He is the ‘God with us’. He brought real justice by the cross. He will return and will be the King of Israel!

I have already made the argument why Isaiah 42 cannot apply to Jesus which you didn't addressed. The 42nd chapter of the Book of Isaiah in the Bible clearly foretells the coming of an Arabian Prophet, specifically Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him.
Isaiah describes itself as a prophecy about the future:
*"See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare..." [Isaiah 42:9]*
Isaiah describes the very special person that God will send:
*“Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight..." [Isaiah 42:1]*
At least three of the names of Prophet Muhammad are mentioned - “servant”, “chosen one” and “in whom I delight”. Prophet Muhammad is known as God’s Servant, in Arabic “abd - ullah”.
“Chosen one” is “Mustafa” in Arabic. This is another of the names of Prophet Muhammad.
The one in whom God ‘delights in’ shows that this person is beloved to God. ‘Habibullah’ in Arabic, which means “Beloved of God”, also happens to be one of Prophet Muhammad’s names.
*1. Concerning Arabia*
Isaiah also reveals the location of this special person. It states:
*"Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices; let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice..." [Isaiah 42:11]*
Out of all the nations on earth, he chose to highlight Kedar's location so we should pay special attention. Throughout the Bible Kedar and his sons are linked to Arabia. For example the book of Ezekiel tells us that:
*“Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams and goats." [Ezekiel 27:21]*
*2. The city of Madinah*
Isaiah goes on to narrow the location down further to a specific city within Arabia. It states that:
*"...Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops." [Isaiah 42:11]*
The place Sela pinpoints the exact location in Arabia, the place been spoken of is the city of Madinah in Saudi Arabia because Sela is the name of the famous mountain in Madinah which is the city of Prophet Muhammad.
*3. What will he bring?*
Isaiah informs us that this special person will bring something new. Mankind is told that:
*"Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth..." [Isaiah 42:10]*
The statement “a new song” means a new way of worship. This is exactly what Islam represents. The emphasis on the new song here is singing the praise of God all over the earth. The Qur’an opens with the statement “Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds” and is recited by Muslims all over the world during prayers every day.
The new song cannot refer to Jesus because Jesus obeyed and followed the law of Moses throughout his life. Jesus didn't sing a new song, he sang the same song of Moses, the Torah.
Moreover the disciples of Jesus also followed the law of Moses even after Jesus departed.
*4. Who will he be sent to?*
Isaiah emphasises the universal mission of the coming person. By mentioning that he will be made:
*"...a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles” [Isaiah 42:6]*
Gentiles means non Jews. The Qur’an confirms that Prophet Muhammad was sent to the whole of mankind, Jews and Gentiles alike. In the Qur’an God tells us:
*We have sent you [O Prophet] as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner for the whole of mankind, but most people have no knowledge. [Qur'an 34:28]*
This verse in Isaiah cannot apply to Jesus because in the Gospel of Matthew Jesus said:
*“I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” [Matthew 15:24]*
Isaiah further states that:
*“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them…” [Isaiah 42:16]*
The pagan Arabs at the time of Prophet Muhammad fit this description perfectly because they had not been sent a messenger prior to Muhammad. The Qur’an bears witness to this, God states that Prophet Muhammad was sent to:
*…warn a people to whom no warner has come before… [Qur'an 32:3]*
This verse in Isaiah cannot apply to Jesus because his people the Israelites had already received the multitude of Prophets from God.
Isaiah emphasis that this special person will be sent to:
*"those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods..." [Isaiah 42:17]*
The whole of Arabia at the start of Muhammad’s Prophethood consisted of idol worshippers.
Again this cannot be a reference to Jesus because his people the Israelites were monotheist and not idol worshippers. Moreover Jesus explicitly told his disciples to stay away from idol worshipping Gentiles, the exact opposite of Isaiah, the Gospel of Matthew tells us that:
*These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles..." [Matthew 10:5]*
Isaiah further states that this special person will be a warrior and will:
*...march out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies. [Isaiah 42:13]*
Throughout history God has dealt sternly with those who are sent guidance and persist in disbelief. Prophet Muhammad had to engage in many battles with the idol worshipping enemies of God and ultimately prevailed against them.
By comparison Jesus did not triumph over his enemies. According to Christians he was crucified by them. Moreover Jesus wasn't interested in fighting because he was not the man of war. He was a pacifist according to Bible, he said such things as:
*"...for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.” [Matthew 26:52]*
*“My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight…” [John 18:36]*
*5. What will he achieve?*
Isaiah gives us a list of momentous achievements for this special person. Chief of these is that the idol worshippers:
*...will be turned back in utter shame. [Isaiah 42:17]*
Not only did Prophet Muhammad conquer Mecca, the Pagan capital of Arabia, but by the end of his life, in just 23 short years of Prophethood, Arabia had shunned idol worship and now worshipped the One true God of Abraham.
This cannot apply to Jesus as it was Christians themselves who were humiliated and greatly ashamed for hundreds of years after Jesus. They were persecuted at the hands of the Roman Empire who were idol worshippers, they executed some of the apostles of Jesus such as Peter and Paul. Christians were tortured and even fed to the lions.
Finally Isaiah closes with an admonishment:
*“Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see…You have seen many things, but you pay no attention; your ears are open, but you do not listen…Which of you will listen to this or pay close attention in time to come?” [Isaiah 42:18-23]*
It seems clear that the “deaf and blind” Isaiah is talking about in this verse are those who reject Prophet Muhammad. Who among you will heed God by acknowledging him, who will “listen” and “pay close attention in time to come”.
*"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right..." [Qur'an 7:157]*
