TWO IMAGINARY CONVERATIONS BETWEEN ALLAH AND HIS COURAGEOUS MESSIAH CONVERSATION ONE: An imaginary conversation between ALLAH and His courageous Messiah. ALLAH: Escape to me oh my courageous Messiah but do not endure suffering on the cross. ALLAH’S Word, Isa: But who will free the prisoners from their chains of bondage? ALLAH: Their own good deeds may be able to free some of them. But you must escape to me. It is simply not right that my courageous Messiah should endure any suffering. The Righteous and Courageous Messiah: But I am willing to suffer even death in order to free Your people. The Merciful ALLAH: No! To have you, my faultless Messiah endure suffering is simply not appropriate. You must escape to me before it is too late. The Faultless Messiah: Yes, you are right. I thought I was willing to suffer for others. But on further reflection I realize that it will be easier on me if I escape to you so that I can rest in Your Holy Presence. Many of Your other Prophets have been killed. But if you think that I am not like other Prophets and therefore should not be killed, I will avoid the suffering. The Merciful ALLAH: So that the Jews will think that they have been successful in their evil purpose of permanently ending your life, I will give them a look-alike to crucify instead of you. Then, it will appear to them that your life has been forever ended. ALLAH’S Courageous Messiah: Yes, that is a good idea. Now I realize that it appeals to me much more for you to have someone else suffer instead of me. We will leave all prisoners of guilt to find a way to free themselves. Why should I trouble myself trying to help them? The Prisoners of Guilt: Without our faultless Messiah’s help, will our own good works be sufficient to rescue us. Oh Merciful, we sure wish You would have allowed Your Compassionate Messiah to help us. The MERCIFUL: That is your problem; It is not appropriate to expect either Me or My courageous Messiah to help you solve your problem. --------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Background Information: The people lived in different kinds of bondage to selfishness but the Faultless Messiah went about doing good and healing those who were emotionally and physically ill. The same Holy Spirit which had given him life in the womb of Maryam, was with him to empower him and to guide him. The COMPASSIONATE: “Who is willing and worthy to be the Mighty Sacrifice to free the prisoners from their guilt and bondage? The Faultless and Compassionate Messiah: I am willing! The MERCIFUL: Since you are both willing and worthy to pay for an eternity of guilt as a true Mighty Sacrifice, on the third day after your death, I will raise you up to myself. Isa, ALLAH’S Word: May Your Will be done. Background Information: Al Qur’an emphatically teaches that the Jews did not crucify or kill ALLAH’S Messiah. Though the Romance did crucify him, they could not permanently end his life as the Jewish leaders planned that they would. Yes, it appeared to them that they had accomplished their evil purpose, although it was not truly the leaders of Israel who caused him to be nailed to the cross. The collective guilt of all people and nations put him there. Lost Hope: When the Messiah was executed and his lifeless body was placed in a tomb, even his disciples lost hope that his life had accomplished anything. Glorious Triumph: Three days later the darkness turned to light when two glorious verses from Al Qur’an were wonderfully fulfilled. Mary 19:33: “Peace on me, the day I was born, the day I die and the day I shall be raised alive. So said Isa, son of Maryam, this is a statement of the truth, concerning which they doubt. Women 4:158: “But ALLAH took him up unto himself. ALLAH is even Mighty, Wise. The Celebration: Three days after Isa’s unjust execution the joyful people could be heard shouting: “Now we are free from bondage because our Messiah is alive. ALLAH took Isa up unto Him self. Now we can always be certain that our compassionate, living Messiah understands any suffering we endure. May ALLAH be praised! back to "My Earlier Stirrings" page
