u guys who believe in the bible needs to read this text...it's long i know but u really need to read it

The Biblical prophecies on the advent of the Prophet Muhammad are evidence of the truth of Islam for people who believe in the Bible.


In Deuteronomy 18, Moses stated that God told him: “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.” (Deuteronomy 18:18-19).1

From these verses we conclude that the prophet in this prophecy must have the following three characteristics:

1) That he will be like Moses.

2) That he will come from the brothers of the Israelites, i.e. the Ishmaelites.

3) That God will put His words in to the mouth of this prophet and that he will declare what God commands him.

Let us examine these three characteristics in more depth

) A prophet like Moses:
There were hardly any two prophets who were so much alike as Moses and Muhammad . Both were given a comprehensive law and code of life. Both encountered their enemies and were victorious in miraculous ways. Both were accepted as prophets and statesmen. Both migrated following conspiracies to assassinate them. Analogies between Moses and Jesus overlook not only the above similarities but other crucial ones as well. These include the natural birth, the family life, and death of Moses and Muhammad but not of Jesus. Moreover Jesus was regarded by his followers as the Son of God and not exclusively as a prophet of God, as Moses and Muhammad were and as Muslims believe Jesus was. So, this prophecy refers to the Prophet Muhammad and not to Jesus, because Muhammad is more like Moses than Jesus.

Also, one notices from the Gospel of John that the Jews were waiting for the fulfillment of three distinct prophecies. The first was the coming of Christ. The second was the coming of Elijah. The third was the coming of the Prophet. This is obvious from the three questions that were posed to John the Baptist: “Now this was John’s testimony, when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Christ.” They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” (John 1:19-21). If we look in a Bible with cross-references, we will find in the marginal notes where the words “the Prophet” occur in John 1:21, that these words refer to the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18.2 We conclude from this that Jesus Christ is not the prophet mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:18.

2) From the brothers of the Israelites:
Abraham had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac (Genesis 21). Ishmael became the grandfather of the Arab nation, and Isaac became the grandfather of the Jewish nation. The prophet spoken of was not to come from among the Jews themselves, but from among their brothers, i.e. the Ishmaelites. Muhammad , a descendant of Ishmael, is indeed this prophet.

Also, Isaiah 42:1-13 speaks of the servant of God, His “chosen one” and “messenger” who will bring down a law. “He will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope.” (Isaiah 42:4). Verse 11, connects that awaited one with the descendants of Kedar. Who is Kedar? According to Genesis 25:13, Kedar was the second son of Ishmael, the ancestor of the Prophet Muhammad .

3) God will put His words in the mouth of this prophet:
The words of God (the Holy Quran) were truly put into Muhammad’s mouth. God sent the Angel Gabriel to teach Muhammad the exact words of God (the Holy Quran) and asked him to dictate them to the people as he heard them. The words are therefore not his own. They did not come from his own thoughts, but were put into his mouth by the Angel Gabriel. During the life time of Muhammad , and under his supervision, these words were then memorized and written by his companions.

Also, this prophecy in Deuteronomy mentioned that this prophet will speak the words of God in the name of God. If we looked to the Holy Quran, we will find that all its chapters, except Chapter 9, are preceded or begin with the phrase, “In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.”

Another indication (other than the prophecy in Deuteronomy) is that Isaiah ties the messenger connected with Kedar with a new song (a scripture in a new language) to be sung to the Lord (Isaiah 42:10-11). This is mentioned more clearly in the prophecy of Isaiah: “and another tongue, will he speak to this people” (Isaiah 28:11 KJV). Another related point, is that the Quran was revealed in sections over a span of twenty-three years. It is interesting to compare this with Isaiah 28 which speaks of the same thing, “For it is: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there.” (Isaiah 28:10).

Note that God has said in the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18, “If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.” (Deuteronomy, 18:19). This means that whoever believes in the Bible must believe in what this prophet says, and this prophet is the Prophet Muhammad .

What is your lame question?

Good morning to you. I'd respectfully ask that you just recollect the next 2 features and provide an explanation for how they would were a effect of something rather than divine idea. (a million) At Job 26:7 we learn approximately "the person who is placing the earth upon not anything". How did the Bible author realize this to be the case 1000's of years earlier than area exploration proved it to be actual and at a time while the distinct reverse used to be the present medical knowledge. (two) Some critics declare, while anybody mentions fulfilled prophecy , that any individual could make a indistinct expert wager and feature anything come actual. But is that what the Bible comprises? The Prophet Isaiah foretold the autumn of historic Babylon in minute element.... from the truth that the significant doorways to town gate might inexplicably left open to the identify (Cyrus) of the navy commander who might take down that high-quality empire. In reality, so special used to be the prophecy AND its achievement that critics claimed it used to be honestly historical past masquerading as prophecy. Well, the critics had been completely silenced while quantities of the Scroll of Isaiah dated approximately 2 hundred years earlier than the parties Isaiah wrote approximately had been determined a few of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Ooops

Let's check your postulates.
1) But the end of Deuteronomy says that no one ever arose like Moses?
2) "Your brother" in the rest of the Torah means a fellow Jew. I'd bring you quotes, but I'm too tired. Also, our 'closest brother' is Edom, (Rome), not Yishmael..

There's one thing that's missing. Jesus was a descendant of King David--this is a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Show me where, in Muhammed's lineage, he is a descendant of King David.
Riiiiiiiight. Didn't think so. You have to consider ALL of the prophecies that Jesus Christ fulfilled--not just this one. Sorry. Not good enough proof--ever.

Not bad. The next time The Almighty grants an audience with me, I'll try to verify that 2,000 year old, re translated many times over, and poorly contexted script.

you clearly have troble reading


Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests, who are Levites—indeed the whole tribe of Levi—are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They shall live on the offerings made to the LORD by fire, for that is their inheritance. 2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers; the LORD is their inheritance, as he promised them.


brothers in the same chapter refers to other members of the Nation of Israel. Not to Ishmaelites. Your argument is null.

This verse is talking about Jesus. This was pointed out 600 yrs before muhammad in the books of the new testament.

It is impossible that Mohammed was ever referred to in the bible as a prophet. Why? Because Mohammed never pointed the way to Jesus as savior. Mohammed falls into the category of "false prophets".....along with everyone else who denies Jesus as Lord, and the only way to salvation.

If the writer knew he would have named him by name. Any particular reason why he didn’t? Fact is the writer didn’t know anything and he’s just pretending to know and playing with the minds of his readers. Prophesy is BS.
