Muslim Leaders Make Liars of Qur'an's Prophet Musa and Qur'an's Messiah

Please O Muslim' leaders, seriously consider these apparently contradictory facts. Muslim leaders who decide what two verses in the Qur'an must mean, continue to insist against persuasive evidence that An-Nisa 4:157 and 158 authoritatively teach that the Messiah was not even temporarily killed. Therefore, on the basis of their faulty understanding, the Eternal Wisdom and the Eternal Might of ALLAH were not even needed in order to raise His Messiah up alive.

But the Holy Qur'an itself eliminates even the remote possibility of making the Prophet Musa complicit in any wrong doing regarding the Qur'an's potential portrayal of him being involved in wrongly denying ALLAH's Messiah's death. The Qur'an totally eliminates any potential for negative complicity by Musa in this denial by always speaking positive about this noble Prophet in multitudes of the Qur'an's verses. The Qur'an consistently only shares positive things about him in a total of 295 pages that are either about his attempting to change the arrogant Fir'aun (250 pages) or in the 45 pages that are about Nabi Musa and his own people. So there are a total of 295 pages out of the Qur'an's total of 1131 pages that are in some positive way speaking about Musa and evil Fir'aun or about Musa and his people. Therefore, more than one out of every four pages (1/4) of the Holy Qur'an are consistently reflecting something positive about the leadership of the Prophet Musa. Therefore, it is inconceivable that the Qur'an would involve the Prophet Musa and also involve the Qur'an's Messiah whom the Qur'an proclaims to be both eminent in this world and also eminent in the next, (Al-Imran 3:45) to be complicit together in a lie about whether the Messiah would die as the mutawafiik verse in Al-Imran 3:55 states that he would be both "caused to die", (mutawafiik) and "raised alive" as An-Nisa 4:158 also said occurred.

Furthermore, when the Messiah was alive on earth, in a discussion with a prominent Pharisee, he linked himself in one concise statement recorded in John 3:14 with one of the main events during the forty years of wilderness wandering of the Prophet Musa with his rebellious people. They had been prevented from dying due to their sin, by obediently looking up at a symbolic bronze serpent attached to a pole. And until recently an artist's depiction of this bronze serpent has been prominently featured on Jordan's tourist attraction, Mount Nebo. And this was the life saving serpent made famous by Nabi Musa. So this often visited reverent display of the bronze life giving serpent on the pole has been visited by thousands upon thousands of international tourists each year. They have come to observe an artist's portrayal of the anticipation of the Messiah Isa also being similarly lifted up as he predicted in John 3:14 that he would be. So far many years this bronze serpent wrapped around the pole has been displayed on Mount Nebo with the written inscriptions from the Scriptures in order to remind the world community of the significant explanation revealed by the Messiah in a night time visit of a Pharisee teacher named Nichodemus. They were discussing how a person could receive life from GOD that GOD requires so that a person can enter into GOD's eternal Kingdom.

In order to make clear this concept of entering GOD's Kingdom the Messiah used an example from one of the most well known events in the well known history of Prophet Musa's leadership of the Jewish people. The people were forced by GOD, due to serious disobedience, to wander for forty years in the desert wilderness. Musa had been specifically instructed by GOD on what to tell the people to do in order to live after they had been severely punished by multitudes of venomous snake's bites as a result of their rebellion against GOD and against Musa's leadership. So in order to be healed of the deadly snake venom and to also demonstrate that they were now willing to be faithful in following GOD and Moses leadership, on GOD's instructions to Moses they were told to obediently look up at the bronze serpent suspended on the pole so they would be healed. Therefore the Messiah used this important life giving event so that the people who were so familiar with this event would later understand how all persons must similarly look up to him being lifted up on his own execution pole. And the Messiah's pole that he was lifted up on would turn out to be the Roman execution apparatus that came to be know as the hated Roman cross.

The Messiah's concise words describing people's need to later look up to him while he was being executed were: "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the son of man be lifted up". Please note that the Messiah did not equivocate when he discussed his being lifted up to die, He did not talk about his probable death but about his definite historical death that would occur when he would be lifted up on a cross. His precise words were that he must be lifted up as the serpent had been lifted up by Musa. So consider the prominent display that for years has been available on Jordan's Mount Nebo to be viewed by the international community in this 93% Muslim Nation. There on Mount Nebo you have had Muslim gate guards admitting both Muslim and Christian visitors to see both where the Prophet Musa would view the land his Israeli people were invading. But the international visitors were also there to see the model of the bronze serpent on the pole that the Messiah himself identified as the important example of his also needing to be lifted up on a cross in order to bring healing to all persons everywhere. The Roman and Jewish executioners lifted him up, so there in the predominantly Muslim country of Jordan on Mount Nebo there has been until recently the prominent inscription in Arabic and English near the lifted up serpent, the Messiah's words from the Injeel 3:14 that I will quote again for important emphasis. "Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up…"

(Regretfully, when I visited Mount Nebo yesterday (7/15/10) I was extremely disappointed by what I saw and by what I could no longer view. There is a massive commercialization, building project in progress that at this point has almost totally hidden the historic representation by Moses of the significant serpent on the pole and its meaning. And it appears that no important accompanying inscriptions of explanation will any longer be seen by the tens of thousands of spiritually hungry international visitors. In my mind this possibly deliberate cover-up of the important spiritual history linked to the significant meaning of the serpent on the pole is both quite offensive to ALLAH and also would be disappointing as well as shocking to the former King Hussein. This spiritual King always seemed sensitive to preserving the spiritual realities of the past linked to both Prophet Musa and to the now Risen Messiah. But now under a new King, it appears that commercialization now has more value than spiritual realities).

Questions That Must Be Answered My Muslim Temporary Death Deniers.

Here are important questions that must be answered by those who insist that the only way to understand An-Nisa 4:157 and 4:158 is that the Messiah was not even temporarily killed before ALLAH raised him up as is stated in 4:158.

Question One

Would the Holy Qur'an deeply involve the Prophet Musa, who is portrayed positively on one out of every four pages in the Holy Qur'an, in a negative deception when every comment about him in the Qur'an is positive. But suddenly we encounter a contrast in An-Nisa 4:157. The way that Muslim leaders now command Muslims to understand 4:157, this verse becomes a frontal attack on the integrity and honesty of both the Prophet Moses and the Messiah Jesus.

Here is how the contradiction occurs. The Messiah stated: "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up…" It is fully understood that when the term "lifted up" is used in this way, the statement is referring to the Messiah being lifted up to die in his execution on the Roman execution tree. So if the Messiah did not temporarily die as a direct result of his execution, this is a direct contradiction involving both what the Messiah said about what Musa did that directly connected the two of them with the Messiah's death. Of course there would have not been that connection between the two of them regarding the Messiah's death if he had not temporarily died.

Question Two

Would ALLAH allow His trusted Prophet Musa to be victimized by a misguided lie spoken by His equally trusted Messiah Isa in John 3:14 to a prominent Pharisee name Nichodemus about a subject so important as how to obtain eternal life? For if Isa did not temporarily die, what the Messiah sincerely said to Nichodemus about Musa lifting up a serpent, and himself similarly being lifted up, turned out to be a misrepresentation and a total lie.

Question Three

Would the Qur'an once again also associate the Qur'an's own respected Prophet Musa with yet another blatant lie about the Qur'an's Messiah Isa's death if these Muslim leaders are correct that no temporary death ever occurred? So if these Muslim leaders are correct that no temporary death occurred, there is a second blatant lie about his death that would soon occur that was closely associated with the Prophet Moses that was also prominently documented in the previous unchanged Scriptures. In a historical narrative recorded by the Greek Dr. Luke, the ALMIGHTY ALLAH miraculously, centuries after Musa's death near Mount Nebo, brought the deceased Prophet Musa back to life along with the deceased Prophet Elijah to have a serious discussion with the Messiah. While high up on a mountain, these three men, each representing different centuries, discussed the Messiah's imminent death. Despite these facts, confused Muslim leaders demand that all Muslims believe that the death that these three men definitely discussed did not even temporarily occur.

Here is Dr. Lukes account of this mountain top very relevant miraculous discussion between the Prophet Musa, the Prophet Elijah and the Messiah Isa about his imminent death as recorded in Luke 9.(Significantly, three of the Messiah's disciples watched part of the lengthy conversation but they were not close enough to hear it).

The Messiah's Conversation with Moses and Elijah.

"And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that he took Peter, John and James up on the mountain to pray. And as he prayed, the appearance of his face was altered and his face became white and glistening. Then behold, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem". Musa certainly would not have discussed the Messiah's imminent death with him if the Messiah had chosen to later flee his death with the exalted ALLAH being the master mind of the supposed great escape.

Question Four

Would ALLAH twice involve the honest Musa in both the conversation with Nichodemus about Musa with the serpent in the wilderness, and directly with Musa centuries later when he was miraculously brought back to life in order to discuss with the Messiah his imminent death, if both these important discussions about the Messiah's death had not taken place.

Yet, Muslim leaders refuse to acknowledge that his obvious temporary death did truly occur. And his death occurred just as the unchanged Scriptures confirmed by the Qur'an, again and again, record that his temporary death did indeed occur.

Question Five

Are these over confident if not arrogant Muslim leaders truly comfortable with making the following three greatly respected persons active participants in one of the most damaging lies that have ever been told regarding the Holy Qur'an's Virgin born eminent Messiah?

Supposed Liar One

Supposedly the Messiah himself purposely associated himself with the Prophet Musa in a lie when he told the Pharisee Nichodemus that he himself would be lifted up (to die) as the Prophet Musa had lifted up the serpent on a pole in the desert. Thus we would later look up to the lifted up Messiah who was lifted up while he was being executed on a Roman execution tree. That statement about Musa by the Messiah became a blatant lie if Muslim leaders are correct in demanding that all Muslims believe that the Messiah did not temporarily die, because supposedly no execution occurred as the Messiah said that it would occur.

Supposed Liar Two

The Qur'an's respected Prophet Musa willingly allowed himself to be directly involved in a supposedly blatant lie when he permitted himself to be brought back to life in order to have a supernatural conversation with the Messiah in order to discuss his imminent death which these Muslim leaders transform into a supposed lie. The discussion becomes a supposed lie because the death that ALLAH arranged for Moses, Elijah and the Messiah to supernaturally have a discussion about, according to Muslim leaders, that death that was the focus of their discussion never occurred. Thus, ALLAH's supernatural discussion that caused men who were long deceased to suddenly leap over many centuries, was an amazing discussion that was suddenly wasted and cancelled since the Messiah supposedly did not die.

Supposed Liar Three

The Pharisee Nichodemus allows himself to be involved in the supposed lie that it was not the Messiah Isa who was executed on the Roman execution apparatus because he was well acquainted with the Messiah's looks as a result of his long Jerusalem conversation with him. Then, as is stated in John 19:39, 40, this same Nichodemus, along with another man who knew the Messiah well, Joseph of Aramathea, both personally intimately handled his body when the two men together prepared his body to be buried. So apparently these two men both lied by not telling others that it was not the Messiah who had been executed. Because no identity switch could have deceived these two men about his identity who both were so acquainted with exactly how he looked and definitely would have recognized an identity switch.

Please oh Muslim leaders. There are more holes in your story that the Messiah was not temporarily killed and then brought back to life by ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and His Eternal Might than there are holes in five kilos of Swiss cheese. Please realize that you are harming the Qur'an, harming Islam, harming the Palestinians and you are damaging the whole Middle East by deliberately strengthening the U.S. government's supporters of Israel. Yes, you are greatly aiding Israel when you continue your very injurious game of pretending that the Messiah was not temporarily killed and was then not gloriously raised to new life by ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and ALLAH's Eternal Might. Yes! ALLAH's Messiah was raised from a temporary death. But he has also been empowered so that he will be a wonderful blessing to so many in Islam in more ways that you can imagine when his Risen presence among Muslims is recognized.

So now is the time to warmly embrace your Living, accessible Messiah. He is compassionately waiting. And so many tens of millions of Muslims are also awaiting the blessing of the Risen Messiah that you are cruelly denying them. But they have been brainwashed by you leaders so that they do not realize that if U.S. leaders observed these multitudes of Muslims as embracing ALLAH's Risen Messiah, the U.S. Government would be very reluctant to support Israel in attacking those millions of Muslims who would then be known to be embracing GOD's Risen Messiah.
