Jesus said to the Jews: "Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 21:43)

What other nation beside the modern Muslims of today bow down to GOD Almighty in the most proper way? What other nation beside the modern Muslims Glorify GOD Almighty in their 5-daily Prayers, and fast the Month of Ramadan for Him?

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 23:37)"

They became cursed, and GOD Almighty removed His Kingdom from them and gave it to another nation. That nation is non other than the "blessed" Muslims who came from the "blessed" Ishmael

"And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. (From the NIV Bible, Genesis 17:20)"

GOD Almighty in Isaiah 42:11 is clearly saying that He will send the people of Kedar (i.e., the Arabs) a Prophet and they should "rejoice" and "raise their voices" in happiness.

Kedar is the son of Ishmael peace be upon him: "These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, (From the NIV Bible, Genesis 25:13)

Amen to that brother!! unfortunately people pick and choose from the bible.
the Gospel clearly prophecies that the nation of Ishmael will be a great nation and that God will send another Prophet from the line of Ishmael who will be a mighty prophet like Moses (pbuh)
Christians deny the truth, may God guide them.

peace.

Uh, no. The bible says that Jesus was to bring the word of God to ALL nations so that they might receive his gift of ever lasting life. Let's try these...
John 3: 16 "For God so loved the WORLD, that he gave his only begotten son, that Whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
Luke 18:31-32 "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished." meaning Jesus, Not Muhammad(PBUH)
Acts 14:7-9 And when there was much disputing, Peter rose up and said unto them, "Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made a choice among US (GENTILES), that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word og the gospel and believe. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us(JEWS): And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith."

Muslims do not believe that Jesus is the son of God because we believe that God can't have a son. We believe the Koran which is spelled Qur'an doesn't have any mistakes. We do believe that Jesus was a prophet, not God nor son of God. Christians believe in trinity. They believe that God is three seperate parts that still somehow are one. This doesn't make sense because how could God die? Even if you were to say only a part of Him died that would still not not make sense because you claim that God is three seperate parts that are ONE. In Islam it is simple. There is only one God. Also Muhammad is His Prophet like Moses, Jacob, and Abraham are Prophets.

are you hungry, feeling thirsty, would you like a nice call glass of water, followed by a nice chicken sandwich - well you can't have it cuz' your on Ramadam. Now its not so bad at the moment, but think when it happens in August - when the temperature in the middle east will reach 40-50 Celsius every day. How many of your brothers will die because of this. This is not worship it is stupidity.

Further it is important to note that not all Muslim's pray 5 times a day, a major schism in your faith is that one branch prays 5 times a day and another 3 times a day; then you goes go and kill each other over it - Muslim killing Muslim over how many times to pray - go figure!
Also Muslim is not a nation - it is a religion worshipped in many nations.

So look likes you bummed out on that one.

To be precise the ONLY religious nation in the world is The Vatican City, although it is called a city, it is a nation in its own rights as well - so according to the passage that you quoted looks like it goes to the Catholics, sorry dude.

The Bible declares ALL nations will be blessed so that not just the Jews but anyone of any nation who is in Jesus is saved and is considered a child of Abraham.

Romans 3:22
even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;

Matthew 21:43 is hardly a reference to Muslims. The fruits of the Kingdom are love, peace, gentleness, longsuffering, joy, etc. The fruits of Islam are violence, oppression, and barbarism. What makes you think Muslim ritual prayer is "most proper"? You should read the beginning of Isaiah to find out what God thinks about ritual correctness with an absence of love. God accepts any prayer from a sincere, loving and humble heart -- that's the "most proper" prayer. You're still in the night of ritual observance. Christianity freed us into the daylight of spiritual life, free from ritual prescriptions.

How about a little later in Matthew: 23:25-28: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may be clean. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and every kind of filth. Even so, on the outside you appear righteous, but inside you are filled with hypocrisy and evildoing."

You think he's just talking to Jews? He's talking to anyone who places ritual observance above inward purity. And that's you, with your ritual washings before prayer, and your prophet's paranoia about splashing urine. You're like Jews without the leaven of the prophetic passion for justice.

And by the way, the modern nation of Israel is there to stay. You'd better get used to it.

Matthew 21:45 "When the cheif preists and the Pharisees heard Jesus parables, they knew he was talking about them."

Isaiah 42:11 "Let the desert 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 mountain tops."

Where does this verse suggest a phophet?

Hi sononobird. In Matthew 21:43 Christ was speaking to the cheif priests and Pharrisses. The nation Jesus was talking about was the nation of believers. God tells us very clearly in Romans 1:16

"For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto Salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."

Before Christ went to the cross the only nation God worked His Salvation plan on was the nation of Israel.
This put them in the position of being the first to hear the Gospel of Salvation.

Now, it is true that during this time of National Israel, there were some Gentiles that did believe (like Uriah the Hittite, Ruth the Moabitess, and Rahab the harlot), but they were exceptions.

The word Greek as it is used in Romans 1:16 represents the rest of the world. In the days of Jesus, the Greek language was the most commonly used even though much of the known world was under the Roman authority. The Gospel message would be declared in the Jewish language and later in the Greek.

Ishmael was the son of Abraham and Hagar, the Egyptian handmaid of Sarai, Abraham's wife. God tells us how this came about in Genesis 16 1:1-3

Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar. 2 So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.” And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai." Hagar bore a child his name was Ishmael.

God is in no way declaring Muslims should be his chosen nation. Far from it. Yes God said he would multiply Ishmael's decendents and he did. But when we read Genesis 16 1:12 we see how Ishmael relates to salvation:

He shall be a wild man;
His hand shall be against every man,
And every man’s hand against him.
And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”

Not all people from that part of the world are cursed there are plenty of believers.

As far 5 daily prayers and fasting, these are just rituals concevied by men. Salvation is a Gospel of Faith and not works God tells us about works and faith in Galatians 2:16:

"knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified."

When God was done writing the New Testament He was finished sending divine revelation. He warns us of this in Revelation 22:18-19:

"For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

People who have added books to the Bible are in violation of Gods law.

God gave that kingdom to a holy nation, which is his Church.

As for Ishmael, he was a good guy, but he certainly has nothing to do with God's one, true church.

Please stick to interpreting your own holy book.

It is my understanding that the spiritual Israelites have replaced the physical Israelites as God's people which is why the Bible says they come from all nations, tribes and peoples instead of just one.
