Islam's Epochal OpportunitySoon, when multitudes of Muslims from many nations, including Heads of State, warmly embrace the Qur'an's Risen Messiah, an epochal historical opportunity will have been created for all of Islam. These Muslims will know they have been chosen by ALLAH to serve Him in a magnificent way. By ALLAH's empowerment, they will be a huge united people group, much larger than any nation or empire, which will be bonded with His Risen Messiah. But they will unselfishly not put any national agenda first. Instead, they will embrace ALLAH's desire to being Justice to the nations under His Risen Messiah's spiritual leadership. The Sad Truth Is:Both Islam and the U.S. economy along with its military are simultaneously self-destructing. The reason for Islam self destructing is that Muslims believe that the Qur'an's Messiah did not die and rise though no less than five verses in the Qur'an clearly teach that he did. Yes, this is true though virtually no Muslim publicly acknowledges this wonderful supernatural activity by ALLAH's Wisdom and Might, revealed in these five different verses in five different surahs in the Qur'an which proclaim both his death and being supernaturally raised alive by ALLAH. Significantly, in Al-Imran 3:55, it is ALLAH Himself who proclaims His Messiah's death and that it will be He Himself who will supernaturally raise him to new life. But Muslim leaders have blasphemously decided that their own invention that can either be called a myth or a fable or a fairy tale or an out right lie, must be believed by all Muslims about the Qur'an's Messiah death and being raised alive not occurring though ALLAH Himself and other Qur'an verses testify that these two events occurred. Tragically, this fairy tale is insisted upon as a blasphemous substitution and cancellation for Muslims believing ALLAH's own sacred promise to His own beloved Messiah spoken directly to him in Al-Imran 3:55. Unbelievably, it is demanded by Muslim leaders that all Muslims believe this man invented lie instead of believing one promise by ALLAH and also believing the message of resurrection documented by Himself and also documented by no less than four additional verses in four of the chapters of the Qur'an. So this one unexcusable lie, but forgivable lie is used as a shameful substitute for what the Qur'an itself emphatically teaches. So Muslim leaders take it upon themselves to decide that this one lie from outside the Qur'an has their stamp of approval to wipe out, over rule, erase and eradicate five of the Noble Qur'an own verses which reveal, confirm, and document to most everyone in the world's surprise, that the Qur'an itself actually possesses and proclaims its own Risen and documented Messiah. But Muslim leaders are so fearful of giving up some of their authority to the Qur'an's own proclaimed Risen Messiah that they will not allow Muslims to acknowledge the Qur'an's own Risen Messiah or even to know that the Qur'an five different times documents that he was empowered by ALAH to defeat both death and those Jewish leaders who violently hated him. Thus, the only reasonable alternative for the Muslims to be known as the champions of truth rather than the stubborn defenders of falsehood is to immediately if not sooner, proudly press the Twenty-First Century Reset Button in order to empower Muslims to cooperate with their own Qur'an rather than to be strongly in opposition to their own Qur'an's true teaching about its own Messiah's death and being raised alive by ALLAH. It cannot be over emphasized how important it is that Muslim leaders take decisive action once and for all to unconditionally reject and wipe out the man made lie of the Messiah not dying and ALLAH not raising him up alive by His Eternal Wisdom and Might, due to an unfortunate misunderstanding of the depth of meaning of one key verse out of all the hundreds of verses in the Noble Qur'an. Muslim leaders sustaining this lie is equivalent to the House of Islam being ablaze with a raging fire, but fireman stubbornly refusing to put the fire out. But fireman are not lazy and incompetent. So decisive proactive positive leadership by Muslim leaders will being a great triumphant break through that will enormously benefit all of Islam and also benefit the entire world. U.S. Corruption, Greed, and ArroganceIn order to help inspire Islam to emphasize the urgency of ridding itself of its shameful lying myth, I will now cite an awful U.S. example of greed, arrogance, corruption and naivete which is resulting in the U.S. currently being on the ridge of self destruction financially and militarily mainly due to Iraq and Afghanistan. And I use as a reliable source for my shocking conclusion, no less of an authority as pages 7 and 8 of the September and October 2010 Foreign Affairs Journal published by the United States own U.S. Council on Foreign Relations. I was so personally upset by statements that I read in this authoritative article about the greed and corruption occurring in the role of contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan that my emotions could not handle it. I was forced by my overwhelming disappointment with U.S. human behavior to put down the article and come back to it the next morning. But it became obvious in the article that this corruption with U.S. contactors is only one of several of the main factors which are heavily contributing to a near certain U.S. bankruptcy and potential collapse of our nation. And in my mind, this whole preventable, but horrible scenario could inevitably lead to the grandchildren of such elite persons as the children of current U.S. leaders in a few decades if not sooner being educated by brilliant, competent Chinese teachers in the Chinese language either in the U.S. or quite possibly in China. And there is considerable precedent fur such an unexpected scenario to occur as can be seen in the Old Testament books of Jeremiah, Lamentations, and especially Daniel. In regard to the present spectacular over extended military spending throughout the world and not only in the Middle East, it is stated in the November-December 2010 Foreign Affairs Journal that our nation, in order to supposedly protect global U.S. interests, currently staffs over 1000 military bases in 120 different nations throughout the entire world. Perhaps to some, 1000 U.S. military bases scattered throughout the world sounds like an expense that our industrialized nation can easily absorb. However, it must be remembered that each one of these bases, large or small, is staffed by a team of highly paid commanding offices. And most of these officers will retire at a young age with a lucrative retirement package that will be paid to them for the remainder of their lives. So this will often exceed three decades of hefty retirement pay. Additionally, many of these men and women will obtain government related positions like consultants or lobbyists after their retirement which will put an additional strain on the U.S. economy. So there is not only that major expenditure of money that our government does not have, but will borrow from the wealthy Chinese as long as the Chinese remain willing to lend it, which is a frightening question. Multitudes of Government ContractorsRight now, according to the September-October 2010 article, the government contractors working for the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan, out number the number of military personnel in those two nations. So think also, in addition to Iraq and Afghanistan of the highly paid contractors the U.S. is paying to assist the military at its more than 1000 bases throughout the world in 120 different countries. And already the U.S. is paying for our nation's defense in a period of no major war, an unbelievable amount of money that is more than the total amount being paid by the accumulated total paid for defense by each and every other nation in the entire world. Yet, there are few major protests except from the far sighted, but regrettably squeaky voiced Congressman Ron Paul, who is sounding the alarm with all his might. But regrettably, few leaders take his ominous warnings seriously. According to Foreign Affairs, September-October 2010, page 8, the U.S. contractors "hired retired officers for their access to former colleagues and subordinates," not for their own expertise which fades fast. The article further states: "Yet corruption is not the worst of it. The military routinely relies on contractors to produce analytic studies and even to write its war-fighting doctrine." The article shockingly even further states that "As USA Today has reported over the last several years, 'the U.S. Military has hired 158 retired flag officers as advisors and senior mentors at rates ranging from $200 to $340 an hour". Now all of this horrible, horrible corruption is occurring with the assumption that the GOD who created the Universe and who sent His now Risen Messiah to give an eight word personal complaint to me of "The American Administration Wanted Iraq to Invade Kuwait," is not watching this military corruption and does not care. It is thought that it is too small a thing for Him to be concerned about. But a disinterested GOD is not the GOD of either the Bible or of the Qur'an. We will now look to the Hebrew Old Testament which is known as the Torah to the Muslims to see the strident language ALLAH's Prophet uses to condemn corruption and slaughter in the Hebrew military of that ancient time. Chronicles 28 "But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reaches to heaven for the Lord's fierce anger rests on you Do you intend to add to our sin and guilt? For our guilt is already great, and His fierce anger already rests on Israel." Remember, those stern words were spoken directly to the Israeli military which did not always have civilian oversight. It may seem that GOD has been silent since the time our U.S. military and political leaders made horrible decisions to slaughter innocent Vietnamese and now innocent Iraqis. But our guilt is overwhelming. So through the principle of "the seed you sow is what you will reap," there is horrible punishment that ALLAH is patiently allowing to accumulate for the complacent, naive people of the U.S. Our nation amazingly soon may go totally bankrupt mainly due to out arrogant, unwise over military extension, out slaughter of multitudes of innocent people, our shocking corruption that is flagrantly now occurring and how we needlessly murdered millions in Vietnam. Regarding Islam, neither does ALLAH allow a respected world religion to flagrantly mock Him as the leaders of Islam are blindly doing by casually disregarding the clear teaching of five key Messiah Death and Resurrection verses in their own Qur'an. Adding to their immense guilt is their naively substituting for those five stupendously important verses an absurd, made up mortal-man-invented-mythology which is my euphemism for a flagrant lie. And by Muslim leader's unyielding dedication to enforcing this lie against the millions and millions of precious human beings which compose the great religion of Islam, these leaders have de facto cancelled ALLAH's supernaturally empowering of the Qur'an's Messiah's to defeat both death and also cancelled his defeating of the Jewish leaders who hated him. But both tremendous victories by the Messiah would have brought great benefit and blessing for all the multitudes of Islam had not these narrow minded leaders cancelled them. And ALLAH is not forgetting or ignoring the terrible cost these myopic leaders have inflicted upon their Muslim people. Though the horrific crime of these Muslim leaders is not small, their crime's wounds can be healed with quick decisive treatment. In contrast, the horrible decisions by U.S. government leaders which has spilled the precious blood of millions of innocents in Vietnam and Sabra and Shatilla. Significantly, this blood is still crying out against Americans, against Israelis and against guilty Christian Lebanese Militia murderers. Blood Cries Out to ALLAH Today From VietnamWhen we assume that ALLAH is a forgetter, we assume wrong. Also, when we assume that GOD does not hold certain people at least partially responsible for the horrendous crimes committed by Vice President Dick Cheney, President George W. Bush, Bank Robber Ahmed Chalabi, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, Trusted Presidential Adviser Paul Wolfowitz, our assumptions are wrong. I tremble when I consider how my own grand children may still be forced to pay as citizens of the U.S., for the crimes against humanity committed by persons such as Henry Kissinger in Vietnam. Though Thomas Jefferson was a Diest consider seriously his words and how they apply today much more than to his day. "I tremble for my nation when I reflect on the fact that GOD is Just." When I read about Kissinger purposely drawing out the peace talks that would have ended the war in Vietnam in order to insure that his boss, Richard Nixon, could be guaranteed of winning a second term in office, I am temporarily overwhelmed with depression and anguish about the rivers of blood of innocent Vietnamese, innocent Laotians, innocent Cambodians, and innocent Americans that would not have been shed if not for the hysterical self centeredness of Kissinger and Nixon. Though he seemed to have much greater personal integrity, I am shocked and despair when I read about the very honest confession made by Secretary of Defense McNamara years after the Vietnam wars conclusion. He stated that as early as half way through the war, he had decided that war could not be won by the U.S. So of course I ask myself, if he knew that, what prevented him from using his position and his knowledge to prevent hundreds of thousands more Asian valuable human beings from being slaughtered and would have prevented about thirty thousand precious American lives from being wasted? From my perspective I see a connectedness between the horrible crimes of bloodshed by especially my own nation that have been referenced in my earlier papers. But without commenting on the connectedness any more than to say that crime against ALLAH and against ALLAH's people is crime no matter whether it is committed by leaders or followers, Muslim or Christian or any person. But with that transitional explanation I will now continue with comments that mostly relate to Islam's rejection of the Qur'an's Risen Messiah who in a broader context he is intended by ALLAH to be all of humanities Risen Messiah. Without ExcuseFor Islam to bring significant hope for the future in the mostly Arab Muslim Middle East, Muslim leaders must be willing to have the courage and foresight to open a new chapter in their Qur'an. They must now read and consider a new chapter that has all the same identical verses of their faithful Qur'an/ But for the sake of the most positive future for Mid East Arab families, Muslim leaders must close the book on an outmoded, now counterproductive, even harmful theological paradigm. In this now outmoded paradigm, an incomplete understanding of one verse and an attached non Qur'an silly myth to that one verse, are empowered to harmful cloud and dominate the collective mind of Muslim thinkers. For these otherwise often brilliant thinkers to continue to be ordered to cancel the many spiritual and practical blessings that the Qur'an now has provided for their families is tragic. But when they do soon choose to allow five constructive resurrection verses to inform one presently misunderstood verse, this will empower Islam to enter a revitalized era. But now one misunderstood verse that is in an ill conceived marriage with a superficial fairy tale, is no longer a reasonable foundation for Twenty-First Century Islam to base their relationship with their Noble Qur'an's own significant Risen Messiah. Therefore, Islam today is crying out for wise physician Muslim surgeons with the skill to do a necessary transplant. This necessary transplant will replace the intruder anemic Messiah who has covertly inserted himself into the dynamic religion of Islam, with the true, courageous Risen Messiah of Al-Imran 3:55. In this one wonderful verse ALLAH Himself promises to raise his Messiah from death. So this powerful act of resurrection by ALLAH will empower the Qur'an's Messiah to be a vital living presence among Muslims. Now enjoy a more understood Qur'an that has expelled the counterfeit, anemic intruder Messiah. Joyfully welcome the Qur'an's true Messiah who was empowered by ALLAH to defeat not only the Jews who tried to kill him permanently, but even he was empowered to defeat such insidious enemies of man as physical leprosy, physical blindness and physical death. Furthermore, he is not only eminent in this present world, but will continue to be imminent in the world which will come. Significant Verses to Consider in Addition to Isa Being Honored Eleven Times as the Qur'an's (Anointed) Messiah1. Five verses which each confirm that the Qur'an's Messiah defeated ALLAH's Adversaries, the Jews, defeated death, and was raised alive to new life by ALLAH to have a spiritual presence whenin he even now desires to be blessing Muslims An-Nisa 4:158, Al-Ma'idah 5:117, Maryam 19:33, Al-An'am 6:122 and Al-Imran 3:55 2. The Qur'an's verses which emphasize the universal role of its own Messiah: Al-Anbiya 21:19 Both the Messiah and His virgin mother were made a sign for all of mankind, from then until now and into the future. Al-Imran 3:54 The Jews plotted to kill the Messiah in order to interfere with GOD's plan for the world involving him, but ALLAH was the best of the plotters because as the next verse states, ALLAH raised him up after his death to still carry out his plan for the world until the day of the universal resurrection of all humanity. Al-Zukhruf 43:61 Isa, the son of Maryam is ALLAH's Sign for all of mankind for the Last Day or Day of Resurrection. Al-Imran 3:45 Angels delivered the news to Maryam that the Word that she would bear who would be named Messiah Isa, who would not only be held in honor in the present entire world but in the entire eternal world to come. Maryam 19:30, 31 Wherever Isa would be throughout the world he would be blessed by ALLAH and would always represent Him as a Prophet. Al-Imran 3:55 ALLAH said to Isa that he would make his followers above those who did not follow him until Judgment Day. An-Nisa 4:159 The people of the Scriptures which were Jews and Christians would have Isa as a witness against them on Judgment Day, Al-Fajr 89:22 The Lord in An-Fajr who with Angels is coming to Judge is the Risen Isa. This is true because the Muslim theologians teach that ALLAH fills the Universe and therefore is never spoken of in the Qur'an as coming or going or as moving from place to place. Az-Zukhruf 43:63 Isa came to the world with clear signs or miracles to help all people fear ALLAH and obey him. Maryam 19:21 Isa was appointed by ALLAH to be a Sign and a Mercy for all of mankind. This Must Be RememberedIt must be constantly kept in perspective that the clear purpose of the Qur'an was far more specific than to comprehensively portray its own Risen Messiah in its own pages. For the Injeel had already fulfilled that purpose and the Qur'an had specifically stated in more than one Surah that it confirms the teachings of the earlier Scriptures. Therefore, due to the Qur'an not comprehensibly portraying the Risen Messiah and not emphasizing even His Death and Resurrection does not make the Qur'an's Risen Messiah's current presence among Muslims any less vital. In fact, the current disrespectful way that Islam is being treated in the land of the Prophet Muhammad's birth, Islam's birth and the Qur'an's Risen Messiah's birth demand's that Muslim's maximize their relationship with their Qur'an's Risen Man from now occupied West Bank Bethlehem. back to "Late 2007 - 2010" page
