Muslim's Missing Appreciation of Al-Quran's Risen Messiah

Few people realize that it was ancient Syria which had possibly the main role in the foundation of what many consider to be the world's most populous religion. So it was not in any area that the State of Israel now occupies where the key supernatural event occurred on which the foundation of Christianity took place. Rather, it was in the lowest air space just above the famous ancient Road to Damascus.

The unlikely setting was this: Probably the man who was the most cruel, enraged, self-righteous Rabbi who has ever lived was walking in the blazing noon day sun leading several other religious officials from Jerusalem. This small band of angry men were on their way to Damascus to bring terrible suffering to quite a number of happy and innocent Jewish families living quietly in that ancient city.

If things proceeded as planned for this group of Jerusalem religious police, they would soon be leading terrified men and women bound in chains back to Jerusalem. Their prisoners would be fathers, mothers, aunts and uncles. They would all be put in dark prisons or possibly soon executed. The executions would occur if after several torturous beatings, they did not change their minds and renounce and blaspheme the name of the young Risen man from Bethlehem that they knew as Jesus/Isa the Messiah or in Greek, the Christ.

What was their horrible crime that they would be destined to receive such severe punishment? Although they were still faithfully worshipping in Jewish synagogues, each had made a highly personal decision to invite this young Risen Messiah to live spiritually in their hearts and lives. According to the rigid leaders in Jerusalem, their allegiance to thier now Risen Bethlehem man was direct rebellion against the One ALLAH. So they were considered to have changed their official religion although they had not changed their religion. Israeli religious officials had decided that for their new spritual allegiance they deserved to be punished by death; probably by public stoning. Thus their public executions would strike fear into the hearts of other Jews who might also be considered as rebelling against the One Hebrew GOD in this way.

But these thirsty religious police, already tired from their long journey in the blazing sun, suddenly experienced a dramatic super-natural event which words are inadequate to describe. Without advance warning the sun became many times brighter, especially to the immediately blinded eyes of their raging rabbi leader, Rabbi Saul. So overwhelmingly bright was the sun's light, that he fell to the ground, no longer able to see. Indeed, he remained without sight for three long days until one Damascus believer in the Risen Messiah by the name of Annanias, was instructed in a vision to go to a house on Straight Street to personally pray for the blind Rabbi to regain his sight. (Please see The Acts 9:11,12)

But while Saul was still lying helplessly on the dusty Damascus road, a clear but invisible voice spoke to him in Hebrew.

“Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”

The Rabbi knew that there had been many believers in the Risen man whom he had severely persecuted. Yet, none of these persons whom he had persecuted possessed a light brighter than the sun which could suddenly knock him to the ground. With great fear, the trembling Rabbi replied to the invisible person whose voice he heard but whom he could not see.

“Who are you Lord?”

The voice in answering again emphasized that he was the person whom Saul was persecuting.

“I am Jesus/Isa whom you are persecuting,” was his emphatic answer.

From that one sudden encounter with this now risen man, whom Saul had thought to be an imposter, he had learned an important lesson. He realized that GOD's Messiah was so closely identified with each person who by faith had embraced him, that when that person was persecuted, his compassionate Messiah was also enduring his or her persecution and was also feeling each lash of the whip and enduring the loneliness of the dark prison cell.

A Deep Appreciation For Islam

Though the connection I will make between Islam and early Christianity may not at first be clear, it may help Muslims realize how the Risen Messiah was so inseparably bound to those who sincerely embraced him. Being aware of this reality influenced me to have even more appreciation for how our U.S President, Barack Obama, had begun his Cairo speech by giving deserved recognition to Islam's considerable contributions to our entire world's welfare. By such a noted Christian leader giving Islam even a small part of its due recognition, I realized that this public recognition of the contributions of Islam may now partly open the gate for the Holy Quran's Risen Messiah to also receive some deserved recognition from Islam. Significantly, until the U.S President's insightful international speech, most people in the predominantly Christian West had remained regrettably unaware of the vital contributions of Islam to the welfare of our world's community. This lack of awareness is somewhat parallel to how Islam is similarly unaware of the Risen Messiah's mostly unnoticed contributions to the Muslims of the Middle East.

After further thinking about the West's collective lack of appreciation for the multiple worthy contributions of Islam, my mind turned once again to an easily removable obstacle between Muslims and their Risen Messiah, I personally am convinced that the Prophet himself expected that at some later day this obstacle would be removed. (I will address what I consider to be the Prophet's own compassionate perspective on the Messiah's death and resurrection later in this paper.) I have often written on this web site about what I consider to be the misunderstanding by Muslin leaders of the true intended meaning of two wonderfully profound verses in the Quran; An-Nisa 4:157 and 158.

Through personally observing and experiencing first hand the admirable quality of the vast majority of Arab Muslims to express warm appreciation, I have been mildly surprised by an absence of appreciation for the Risen Bethlehem man, which I have observed among Muslims. It is understandable that Muslims honor Jesus/Isa as a Prophet but yet they understadably and politely insist that he is not GOD's son. I am personally convinced that this particular difference in perspective should not be an issue. Although there remains one omission that I find surprising. Though Muslims are spontaneous in expressing appreciation and thankfulness toward individuals, I have not heard any Muslims express individual appreciation for ALLAH's own Risen Messiah. From my perspective, Muslim leaders especially must become aware of how it has been the spiritual presence of the Risen Messiah that has empowered quite a broad variety of his servants to make helpful contributions to Arab Muslim people. Sadly, all Muslims seem unaware that it is totally due to the resurrection power through which the Risen Messiah both empowers and inspires individuals to serve Muslims in his name. So he is the source of the benefits that come to Muslims through his servants who serve others in his name, whether they be Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Mennonites, etc. Therefore it seems to me that Muslims must become more aware of the direct source that empowers these servants and to realize that this is truly the Messiah being directly involved in serving Muslims. So this will provide Muslims more opportunity to be appreciative that it is one of their own locals who is serving them, their own Risen man from West Bank Bethlehem. Then they could express thanks to him for his compassion.

I am aware that the word “missionary” carries some negative connotations. The two main criticisms of the word missionary of which I am aware are the association Christianity often has with hated imperialism. Also, there is the reasonable objection to the missionary's motivation to influence persons to change their religion from their own religion, with which people may be quite satisfied, to a new religion that may seem strange. Even though individual missionaries may be compassionate servants of the Risen man from Bethlehem, they may sometimes do things which the people of the Middle East find objectionable even though these servants may make other valuable contributions that are helpful.

As a personal example of a quite positive contribution, for forty years I have been acquainted with a tall and distinguished appearing, compassionate British Medical Doctor. This gentleman, who recently died, had dedicated his life to meeting the serious and less serious health needs of persons in Yemen and throughout the Red Sea region in the name of the Risen Bethlehem man. For him it was personally difficult work. Frequently, due to his great height, he had to work partly bending over when he visited homes in Yemen which traditionally had low ceilings. Dr. Lionel Gurney not only met the health needs of thousands of sick and often suffering patients, he also influenced quite a number of other trained and compassionate doctors, nurses, midwives and teachers to serve thousands of the poor in the quite hot Red Sea region without any expense to those receiving the services. It was often with considerable personal sacrifice for those who were obeying the commission of their Risen Isa/Jesus to serve others in his name in this exceptionally hot desert region.

I know that this man also influenced many believing higher education instructors to be motivated to provide young men and also women in Middle Eastern Colleges and Universities with the professional skills necessary to significantly contribute in the competitive international global markets.

Not well known, but throughout the Middle East, often in remote areas, are numerous small hospitals and medical clinics such as the Oasis Hospital in the UAE or the medical clinics in Oman which are mainly staffed by compassionate servants of the compassionate man who himself came to be known to many as the risen great physician.

Al-Quran's Living MessiahProvides Delicious Chicken

The following interesting reality may come as a total surprise. Millions of delicious chickens which are enjoyed daily throughout the entire Middle East have a unique link with the Quran's Living Risen Messiah. For it was the Quran's Messiah who ALLAH raised to Himself (An Nisa 4:158) who inspired animal husbandry experts in whose hearts he lived. They were persons who were trained in some aspect of the development of animal husbandry who worked at the University of Beirut (AUB). From the very basics, these persons developed the Middle East chicken industry. Now that robust chicken industry is supplying probably the major amount of necessary protein for the diet which keeps most Middle Easterners healthy. Those ubiquitous cooked chickens which are seen everywhere even have some advantages over their beef competitors. To grow, they require much less of the limited supply of precious water than does beef. Just as important, they contribute much less of that ever present enemy of the healthy heart and healthy blood system; cholesterol.

The servants of ALLAH's Risen Messiah may not even has realized that it was also the Living Messiah of the Holy Quran, who inspired them to serve others. The Risen Messiah of both the Quran and of the Injeel are the same Risen Messiah. Therefore, before ALLAH, it is truly appropriate to give credit and and appreciation to the Risen man of the Quran, who is the same Risen man of the Injeel for inspiring his compassionate servants to unselfishly serve the Middle East's people. For those who serve the Injeel's Risen Messiah also serve the Holy Quran's Living Messiah.

The main hospital of Lebanon which is located right next to AUB has historic roots to that fine University. That hospital was also founded by those who chose to serve their Risen Messiah mainly among Arab people in the predominantly Muslim Middle East. Thus, there must be several million patients from a broad variety of Arab nations who have over many years been compassionately and professionally treated at that fine Beirut hospital.

Another example of a group serving Bethlehem's Risen Man for the people of the Middle East that former U.S President Jimmy Cater has been associated with, is Habitat for Humanity. This group organizes people who have very limited money and resources into small groups. Under the Leadership of Habitat staff, they cooperate with each other in the building of houses for people in the group which would not occur without the guidance of the trained Habitat staff. Habitat for Humanity has facilitated hundreds if not thousands of low cost houses having been built in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and possibly other Arab countries. An important feature is that Habitat requires that woman also be included in the entire planning process and sometimes in appropriate aspects of the construction process.

Another major group that has made many, many constructive contributions to the welfare of refugees and families who were bombed out of their homes, such as what happened during the extended war in Lebanon, is World Vision. For instance, a close Lebanese friend of mine from my days of employment in Saudi Arabia, held a very responsible position at the Riyadh Intercontinental Hotel. He was in charge of all the food services in the hotel which included at least three major hotel restaurants. I personally have observed him carrying on three different conversations simultaneously in three different languages, Arabic, French and English.

At one time he was asked by the Saudi government, with less than a weeks' notice, to organize a huge picnic in the Saudi desert for several hundred guests. This dinner was in honor of the visiting Queen of England who later praised the Saudi Government for providing such a well organized display of extremely delicious food which see said she had never before experienced in Europe.

Even though he was very successful my capable friend soon said good-bye to his well paid position because he felt the Risen Man was calling him to something much more important with much less pay and considerably more danger. He was accepting a field position in war torn Lebanon with World Vision to bring aid to those on all sides who were caught in the blazing conflict in the very nation where he first dedicated his own life to serving the Risen man from now occupied Bethlehem. I also personally know believing Americans who have poured out their energies caring for young orphans in Lebanon. One of them was a wonderful young man who, while serving in an orphanage, had his dear wife killed by a speeding military truck hitting her car at a Lebanese check-point. Soon after he returned to the U.S to comfort his wife's grieving relatives, he met a young nurse who agreed to his proposal of marraige. She wanted not only to care for his now motherless two children but to return with him to war torn Lebanon to also care for other parent-less children in another orphanage also located in a highly dangerous area.

There is much more precious evidence than what I have listed that vividly reveals that it has been ALLAH's local statesman born in now regretfully occupied West Bank Bethlehem, who through his faithful servants have for decades greatly contributed to the humanitarian needs of the Muslim, Christian, Druze and sometimes Jewish communities of the Middle East. Since one of the most prominent personality characteristics of Arab Muslims is appreciation and thankfulness, it is natural to wonder why it seems that their expressions of appreciation, not to the servants themselves, but to the Risen man who empowers and inspires them, have been so few.

I am personally convinced that the main factor that has contributed to this apparent lack of appreciation of ALLAH's Risen Messiah once again directly relates back to the lack of a sufficient understanding of the true purpose of those two wonderfully profound verses in the Muslims' own Holy Quran. So the prevailing twisted, distorted, frozen, rigid, simplistic, counterproductive, anachronistic view of the true intended message of perhaps two of the most dynamic and beautifully profound verses in the entire Holy Quran has been the root cause of preventing usually appreciative Muslims from being thankful for their own Holy Quran honored Risen Messiah. Highly significantly, it is the Quran which emphatically proclaims that this Risen man from ALLAH is not only eminent (Wajeh) in this world but also will be eminent (Wajeh) in the world to come. (That is, he will be eminent in the world to come when Muslims stop insisting that he has not yet experienced his resurrection so that he is now somewhere hidden in the sky.)

I Hold Israel Responsible

Since Israel is appropriately blamed for so many complex problems in the Middle East, this writer is also now going to climb aboard the “Blame Israel” bandwagon and at least partially hold Israel responsible for Muslims' lack of appreciation for the Risen Messiah.

We will now examine nine observations about the murderous leadership examples from Judaism that have influenced Islam to allow despicable treatment of the Palestinians to continue. Furthermore, we will observe how these murderous public crimes openly committed by Jewish leaders have influenced Islam to ignore relevant teachings in their own Holy Quran about the available resources from ALLAH's Risen man. Regretfully, contrary to the Quran's emphatic teaching, Muslims depreciate, minimize and marginalize ALLAH's own Messiah who has significant prominence in their own Holy Book. But not only is he proclaimed in the Quran but also he is proclaimed as the Messiah of the Zabur (Psalms) and as the Messiah of the Torah. But not to be overlooked, minimized or forgotten is that he is the only Messiah that the ALMIGHTY ALLAH has ever sent to man.

A Land Without People!?

In our specific holding of the Jews responsible for Muslim's lack of appreciation of the Risen Messiah who lived his entire earthly life in the regions of the Middle East, we will begin with a major Israeli lie. In fact, this lie was almost as significant as the lie that the Israeli leaders invented that the body of the executed Messiah was stolen from his tomb by his disciples when he had actually been raised by ALLAH from death. (The main hole in that lie is that highly disciplined, weaponized Roman soldiers were guarding his tomb who had been specifically ordered to prevent his body from being stolen.)

Nine Observations Regarding Israeli Evil

Observation of Evil 1:
Publicly proclaiming that Palestinians did not exist must be at the top of any list of Israeli crimes relating to the founding of the current nation/state of Israel. And each of these nine crimes that we will discuss have been totally out in the open for Muslims to observe first hand or by access to reliable documentation. So we must begin with the depraved foundation on which Israel has cleverly built what has become their current idol, their own Nation/State of Israel.

It is relevant to observe that many current residents of the Israeli State have at least subconsciously chosen to replace the historic GOD of Israel with a totally absurd materialistic replacement; the rapidly expanding State of Israel. Simply stated, today significant numbers of Jews now have chosen to worship and serve the State of Israel rather than to worship and serve the GOD of Israel. So these Jews no longer worship the ancient GOD of history, the GOD of the Scriptures, and the GOD of the ancient Hebrew Patriarchs; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Instead, they have irrationally replaced GOD with their worship of their own success in illegally expanding the amount of precious stolen Palestinian land that they can colonize. It seems not to matter that the land that has replaced GOD is being stolen from a people who are themselves precious to GOD; the Palestinians. While the Palestinians are being blatantly stolen from in order to provide an Idol for many Jews to worship, the whole observing world is standing impotently by not lifting a finger to stop this very public heinous crime.

For the last 61 years Islam has been closely watching Israel's cunning ability to manipulate both the minds of the international community and the minds of their own Israeli people so that they would wrongly perceive the Palestinian people as, at the most a worthless people, if not actually a non-existent people. Therefore, it has long been considered by especially the Western International community that it is fair and legitimate for Israel to openly steal the land owned by Palestinians in order to colonize that stolen land so that the land can be absorbed into the apartheid State of Israel. Few seem to notice that these Palestinians were previously living together in normal, loving, caring families in the land they owned. But when the Palestinians were measured in comparison to the supposedly superior chosen people of Israel, the people who had suffered so terribly from their attempted elimination by an Austrian madman in Europe, the Palestinian people were forced by this unfair comparison to become living sacrifices to the Palestinian devouring State of Israel.

The wicked sin of the International community was to not vigorously cry out against this public despicable crime. The phenomenon that Islam is presently observing occurring to the Palestinians is similar to the following deplorable sports illustration.

Please imagine that there are two fighters competing in a nationally televised boxing match. Then right in front of the eyes of the watching referee and in front of the TV cameras, one boxer suddenly steps back and viciously kicks his opponent in his private parts, sending his seriously injured opponent to the mat screaming in horrible pain before the eyes of the watching world. Shockingly, the referee who observed the vicious foul, brazenly raised the hand of the cruel kicker and declares him to be the winner. Then even more shocking, the entire watching world celebrates the cheating vicious fighter who had been immorally declared the winner.

Any leaders of Israel who are represented by this reprehensible but victorious boxer obviously must not be trusted. Furthermore, the refereee's immoral decision, to declare the cheating fighter the winner, violates all standards of rational morality. That cheating Israeli leaders would be supported by the West (the unjust referee) as they violate international laws is especially tragic and unjust.

That these Israeli leaders happen to be members of a supposedly superior chosen people who were maliciously treated while living in an entirely different region of the world, does not justify Israel's own malicious injustice toward their Palestinian victims who had no part in their vicious persecution in Europe. Nor does the fact that jews were horribly treated in Europe justify their own somewhat similar treatment of Palestinians in the Middle East.

Observation of Evil 2:
Please seriously consider how the ancient State of Israel's leaders treated ALLAH's own chosen messenger when he personally confronted those hypocritical leaders with Truth and Justice. Their highest authorities represented by their two High Priests, Annas and Caiphas, and their highest Jewish council, the Sanhedrin/Knesset expertly manipulated the Roman Governor Pilate to use as his method of execution of GOD's Messiah, the most torturous method of public execution invented; crucifixion. This type of torture is probably even more torturous than Bush/Cheney water boarding.

Observation of Evil 3:
Read the awful list on the Holy Quran's long series of the shameful crimes of Israel consecutively listed in the four verses immediately preceding the “they killed him not” metaphor, in An-Nisa 4:153, 154, 155 and 156.

Observation of Evil 4:
Please read in the Book of Acts 7: 51-60 about how a supposed dignified trial conducted by the same Sanhedrin that had manipulated the Messiah's crucifixion, shamefully ended their official council's trial of its prisoner. They all unitedly jumped up while gnashing their teeth, instantly transformed into a hysterical gang of ruthless murderers. They dragged the accused but not guilty Stephen out of town and spontaneously and unitedly stoned him to death. This all occurred because the ruling Sanhedrin could not emotionally handle Stephen's out spoken truth about how these men had actually murdered their own Messiah.

Observation of Evil 5:
The Jewish leaders in the period following the Messiah's murder, were imprisoning, torturing, and illegally executing those who were believing an incredible message: ALLAH had empowered his murdered Messiah to defeat his own blatant illegal execution by empowering him to rise up from death.

Yet, in that very period when the Rabbi Saul had converted from a murderer of believers to himself becoming a powerful preacher of belief in the Messiah's resurrection, the Jews had a supposedly compassionate law on their books to benefit tortured prisoners.

Apparently Israeli doctors had decided that the torture of whipping with leather lashes could either bring death or bring permanent injury if too many lashes were administered. So they limited the number of official strokes with the lash their lashers could use for punishment. They decided on the outside limit of forty minus one. This would hopefully demonstrate how they were not savage but humane in their punishment.

Consequently, due to their embarrasment by the former Rabbi preaching the Risen Messiah, the Jews were so enraged at him that not once but on five different occasions their official lashers lashed this courageous public preacher of truth forty minus one five times (5 x 39= 195) which turned out to be one hundred-ninety five vicious lashes. Additionally, they also tortured him by beating him with rods three separate times. (2 Corinthians 11:24.25) This was how they treated those who dared to honor ALLAH's Risen man.

Observation of Evil 6:
This very year the Israelis used the most minor of pretexts to kill not only Gazan fighters but also to brazenly slaughter many Gazan elderly and young, both women and children. And this occurred as a supposed responce to the mainly symbolic rockets fired into Israel by Hamas that had resulted in two fatalities in the preceding six years.

Observation of Evil 7:
Two summers ago in Lebanon in an unsuccessful attempt to eliminate the Shiia Hezbollah, an Iran supported resistance movement meaning party of ALLAH, the highly weaponized Israeli Army was assisted by a number of bombing raids on civilians. But the Israelis claim that the dead victims were Hezbollah's responsibility for using the Lebanese civilians as shields. However, the Seattle Times reported that an investigation revealed that it was actually the Israelis who had later used the Gazans as human sheilds. (Significantly the deadly bombs usually were dropped from US manufactured planes.) But the bottom line was that there was an enormous amount of unnecessary death and destruction caused by the intensive Israeli bombing and their aggressive ground assaults.

Observation of Evil 8:
Today ultra Zionist Prime Minister, smooth talking but calloused Benyamin Netanyahu, has made it crystal clear that he and his Likud supporters will never, no never approve of a Just Palestinian State.

Observation of Evil 9:
Israeli leaders have skillfully brainwashed, manipulated and extorted from the people and government of the U.S, aid to Israel to the tune of ten (10) million dollars each day. Some of this considerable money is to guarantee that Israel, will when needed, act as our military representative in the Middle East which may involve murdering others in our behalf and in their behalf, such as Lebanon's Rafiik Hariri.

The first factor in the list of nine which claimed that the Palestinian people did not exist should have been sufficient in itself to motivate Islam's leaders to employ every just non violent tactic humanly possible to prevent amoral Israeli leaders from committing any more evil murderous activity. And that one factor should also have prevented Israel from instituting anymore unjust illegal policies such as colonizing more illegally occupied Palestinian land. Significantly, it is quite relevant to note that each one of these nine observable negative factors that have been listed, either directly or indirectly involve murder throughout history by the amoral Israeli apparatus. For those who will accuse me of unfairly stereotyping Israeli leaders for their current cruel, unjust policies, the the following is a relevant direct quote from the highly respected former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Charles Freeman, somewhat typical Israeli behavior.

"The tactics of the Israeli lobby plumb the depths of dishoner and indecency.” (March 23, 2009,Time Magazine)

No Game of Monopoly

Also, related to the same type of Israeli immoral behavior is an article in this week's Sept. 14 Newsweek appropriately entitled "Why leaders in Israel are so corrupt." In light of these nine negative factors, it is both immoral and inconceivable that Islam's current pro-active leaders would continue to casually drag their feet and not confront their own, out of touch with reality, passive Muslim leaders. In contrast the more enlightened and progressive Muslim leaders must insist that the Quran's one profound verse, that when superficially understood, appears to teach that the Jews were innocent of their malicious murder of ALLAH's Messiah of the Holy Quran and the Injeel, immediately correct this very damaging misunderstanding. For to continue to give the Israelis a free pass on ALLAH's Messiah's murder is asking for more such tragedies to occur. Especially since Israeli leaders keep consistently recycling how corrupt they are.

Adding to the considerable evidence of ancient Israel's guilt in the Messiah's murder is the unpleasant reality that Israeli leaders have a historical pattern of murder and assassinations. Furthermore, there is the compelling evidence that the one verse in An-Nisa is being understood improperly, is the reality that the exceptionally clever Jews would never have fallen for such a CIA type identity switch. But even present day educated and enlightened Muslim leaders continue to insist that clever Israelis were supposedly tricked 2000 years ago by such a superficial identity switch. So as a result of the staying power of this obvious archaic interpretation of one unique verse. Islam continues to give murderous First Century Jewish leaders a shameful free pass on their cruel murder as if Islam is only playing a child's game of Monopoly with Israel. But we are living in a real world of political assassinations, land grabs from Palestinians and entire families without adequate food and without hope. So unfortunately this is not a child's game of Monopoly between Islam and Israel. This is no longer a time for the fantasy of theological myths. Rather it is a time that demands both psychological and political realism, especially by Islam's leaders. If no proactive steps are soon taken by Islam's leaders, Muslims will continue to be totally outmanuevered by Israel's sinister leaders.

To realize how calloused certain Israeli citizens are able to be about assassinating any person who even partially interferes with their rush to supposedly obey GOD in building their ordained nation-state, we will review relatively recent Israeli history. No one including even their own Prime Minister is allowed to interfere with hard liners' plans for their ever expanding State of Israel. As a case in point, consider how casual most Israeli citizens have been about the public assassination of their own former Prime Minister. Due to Yitzak Rabin slightly slowing down their colonization policies, for that supposed crime he was brazenly, publicly murdered. But so casual is their present attitude toward his young murderer that he is allowed to regularly bring his girlfriend into the prison so that they can continue to enjoy sexual intercourse together. In cold blood he assasinated the progressive Prime Minister of Israel. But his murderer is considered by many to be a national hero and true patriot. He was even allowed to father a child in prison with predominantly national approval. So this provides a vivid if not disgusting example of how little most Israeli leaders value the lives of even their own colleagues. Murder is the reality which occurs when leaders do not toe the line as far as worshiping the idol of the State of Israel. It is considered a major crime to demonstrate the least bit of justice for their Palestinians victims.

Of course justice for those who are not Israeli also has a quite low priority. But past Israeli leaders who were murders are the persons that Muslims leaders are currently determined to excuse for the horrible crime of murdering ALLAH's own Messiah. Please wake up oh leaders of Islam! ALLAH is not pleased with you for allowing Israel a free pass for the brazen public assassination of his own beloved Messiah.

Directly assisting the Israeli Zionists is most certainly what each of Islam's leaders are complicit in when you each casually take this one verse out of the thousands of verses in the Holy Quran and make no meaningful effort to understand its profound depth. But you isolate your understanding of that verse in a self destructive way that is morally illogical. It is totally inconsistent that this one verse be understood in this illogical, rigid way. When you demand that all Muslims make this same illogical interpretion you also demand that they totally ignore the Arabic words used in Al-Imran 3:55 where it is emphatically stated,

“and (remember) when ALLAH said 'O Isa (Jesus), I will cause you to die (mutawafik) and raise you to myself…'”

And especially it is unfair and illogical for Muslims leaders to make this demand when there is obviously a much more logical and more sensible way to interpret this verse when it is understood in combination with an enlightened understanding of the next verse about ALLAH raising him. And I have patiently and thoroughly presented this quite logical understanding of these two profound verses on this web site again and again.

By Muslim leaders casually accepting the current ridiculous explanation of this verse's meaning seriously discredits Islam. This shallow, rigid interpretation also results in even more unnecessary suffering for Palestinian victims. But this incorrect conclusion accomplishes an additional sinister reality. It directly assists the Israeli leadership in their aggressive calloused, relentless war against even ALLAH and against those who faithfully serve Him. It is blatantly against all Muslims who would benefit so greatly from the living presence of ALLAH's Messiah among them. So why, oh leaders, do you insist on sadistically punishing your own brother and sister Muslim?

Quick Review of the Victims of Six Israeli Murderous Behaviors in Israel's War Against ALLAH and Against His Prophets

One: ALLAH's Messiah
The ruling body of Israel, the Sanhedrin first treacherously murdered ALLAH's Messiah.

Two: The Martyr Stephen
The united Sanhedrin hysterically murdered the innocent Stephen who was testifying in a formal court setting under oath about the Messiah's brutal murder by Israeli leaders.

Three: New Believers
Jerusalem religious officials gave the enraged Rabbi Saul official documents in order to imprison, torture and murder as many new believers in the Risen Messiah as possible in order to try to stamp out the followers of the Risen man born of a Virgin in now Israeli occupied Bethlehem.

Four: Rasuul Paul
Since the Jewish authorities were only allowed by their law to savagely lash a person 40-1 or 39 times, the Jews reached that limit five times with the fearless preacher of the Risen Christ, Paul. So they exceeded the 39 limit (195-39=156) by 156 lashes in order to try to silence Paul's powerful preaching about ALLAH's Risen Messiah.

Five: Innocent Palestinians
They have told a vicious lie about Palestinians not existing that has caused thousands of innocent Palestinians to be murdered. This has occurred so the Israelis could build their supposedly GOD ordained apartheid nation-state on stolen Palestinian land.

Six: Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin
Israeli authorities emphatically reveal their sympathy for the brutal murderer of their peace making Prime Minister by rewarding his young murderer with the joy of regular sexual intercourse in a special prison cell.

Please, oh responsible Israeli leaders, get up from your comfortable cushions and step forward. Insist that your outraged voices he heard in strong opposition to the Israeli vicious war against ALLAH. Please realize that to fight in partnership with ALLAH against Israel's war against Him will only require the following one responsible step.

Urgently make it known to Islam and to the world that Islam will demand that in the cause of Justice, An-Nisa 4:157 will soon be understood in the way it was always truly intended to be understood: that the Quran wanted all Muslims to definitely know that the Jews were total failures in their attempt to forever end the life of ALLAH's only Messiah. In the sense of what kill and crucify truly mean, they neither killed nor crucified him because the Wisdom and Might of ALLAH raised him up alive, (An-Nisa 4:158) after his temporary death.

So you must courageously demand that Islam correctly understand that the combination of 4:157 and 158 be understood more responsibly and logically. Then, a wonderful phenomenon will result in one billion-five hundred million awakened Muslims reminding the entire world of a despicable crime that Israeli leaders committed twenty centuries ago. Brazenly, Israel has never admitted their true role in that murder. And this one important act of Justice by Islam of exposing Israel will increase Islam's public stature while simultaneously exposing the Jews for their public act of murder for which they have not yet been held accountable by Islam.

When Islam finally takes the meaningful step of appreciating the horrible suffering that the Jews hatred of him caused him to endure, quite possibly Muslims will then become more appreciative ofALLAH's only risen Messiah. For he has done so much more than treat the illnesses of some of Islam's poorest and most isolated through his doctors, nurses, and midwives. Then, for the first time, the naturally appreciative Arab Muslims will express to the now Risen man their thankfulness for him enduring the intense torture, humiliations, mockings, whippings, and beatings the sadistic Jews put him through that ugly night in the Jews temporary torture chamber. That dark night after a mock trial he became a virtual punching bag for some of the more depraved Israeli and Roman soldiers. Then, the next day he endured his horrible execution by tortureous crucifixtion. But you callously deny that any of this occurred.

The Prophet Isaiah had some heart tearing predictions about how the coming Messiah would eventually be disfigured by the Jews. (The Prophet Isaiah himself was quite familiar with torture. Tradition tells us that he was hated so violently by Jewish leaders that they split him open like a professional chef fillets a fish before frying it. After he died from being split open, his ripped apart body was displayed outside the gates of Jerusalem so that other potential critics of the government would know to keep their mouths tightly shut, and no longer criticize Israeli leaders.)

But GOD empowered the extraordinary Prophet Isaiah to know centuries in advance about the horrible suffering and torture the future Messiah would endure at the hands of Jewish leaders.

The courageous Prophet wrote hundreds of years in advance:

”His appearance was so disfigured beyond any man and his form marred beyond human likeness. He was oppressed and afflicted yet he did not open his mouth. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before his shearers is silent so he did not open his mouth.” (Isiah 52:14)

Amazingly, supernaturally this was an accurate prediction of what would occur to ALLAH's Messiah several centuries in the future. But also amazingly, Muslim Arab leaders rigidly and callously insist on the basis of their misunderstanding of one profound verse, that the Messiah endured absolutely no physical mistreatment at the hands of hateful, murderous Jewish leaders even though his torturous crucifixion had been predicted by more than one Prophet centuries before. (see Psalms/Zabur 22)

The Muslim leaders callously continue to insist even today that the Messiah did not suffer and was not murdered despite the continuous pattern of murders by Israeli leaders. Embarrassingly, these leaders of Islam also choose to offend the ALMIGHTY by distorting and manipulating the true intentions of this one deeply profound verse in the Quran which actually dramatically exposes Israeli leaders for the one thing that ALLAH would not allow them to be able to do. ALLAH would not allow them to permanently end the life of His only Messiah. No, in the very deepest meaning of the words, killed and crucified, always indicate permanent death. For a certainty, they had neither killed nor crucified him. Yes, it indeed “appeared to them,” - “Shubbiha Iahum” that they had been successful in permanently ending his life. But despite what “appeared to them” - “Shubbiha Iahum” they had not successfully killed or crucified him. Why? Because he belonged to ALLAH. So ALLAH raised him up to Himself (alive). (The Holy Quran, An-Nisa 4:158.) And let the entire world say Amen to the truth of An-Nisa 4:158!
