These are all from priests that agree that your scripture has been tampered with. I have not even shown very much of the Quran if I did that your Jinn beside you would make you go insane and then we would have allot of you going runamuck! I am being mercyful but if you insist.
THE TRANSLATION OF THE HOLY QURAN: 2:133. Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya'qûb (Jacob)? When he said unto his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We shall worship your Ilâh (God - Allâh), the Ilâh (God) of your fathers, Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ismâ'il (Ishmael), Ishâque (Isaac), One Ilâh (God), and to Him we submit (in Islâm)."

Sal if the Christians and bashers never interupted the natural flow of knowledge and ability to learn without bias I would have already shown so much more, but we have to keep stopping to check the soup, because there is way too many adding ingredients that don't belong in soup, only salad. Green Lantern can be anything and anyone, infact if I let Spiderman take over again you all would be near this "End of Times" Theory again like in August. Lol :) Maybe its time for Spiderman 3 to be revealed again. Let me go ask him inshAllah I am sure he is well rested by now. :) I am very much sure you rather see these than him again but that is your choice, we will make long dua tonight that the order remains with the sun in the proper alignment.

Jesus told the Jewish religious leaders: “The kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits.” (Matthew 21:43) That nation, spiritual Israel, is composed of anointed Christians taken into the new covenant. To these, the apostle Peter wrote: “You are ‘a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession, that you should declare abroad the excellencies’ of the one that called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. For you were once not a people, but are now God’s people.” (1 Peter 2:9, 10)
Fleshly Israel were no longer Jehovah’s covenant people. (Hebrews 8:7-13) As Jesus had foretold, the privilege of being a part of the Messianic Kingdom was taken from them and given to the 144,000 members of spiritual Israel. Revelation 7:4-8.

In numerous parables Jesus taught that the kingdom was to be earned by work and sacrifice. The nation that will bring forth the fruits of the kingdom is not a country, but those people who work to serve God.

If you read this passage in context and with the mind understood at the time of Jesus, then its meaning would be very clear to you.
The Jews at the time of Jesus expected a messiah who would be a political leader. Jesus was telling the leaders of his day, that "the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone." Who was this stone? - Jesus. Who rejected Jesus? - the Jews. When Jesus says, "the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to another nation producing the fruit of it", what nation is losing the kingdom of God? - the Jews. What nation is it being given to? - Christians.

Actually, Mt, Mk, Lk and Jn ARE Old Testament. You need to realize that the little page in your Bible that separates OLD from NEW was not put there by God or the bible translators but by the publishers of the Bible.
The entire time Jesus was on the earth He was speaking to the Nation Israel about their prophesied Messiah and King and promised earthly KINGDOM. This WAS OT stuff...NOT new.
There is no NEW testament until the testator DIES.
When Jesus is speaking of a NATION it is always about Israel. God took away the Kingdom from UNBELIEVING Israel, and gave it to "the little flock"...those who DID believe that Jesus was the promised coming Messiah. These words have NOTHING to do with the church the body of Christ as we were still a SECRET, HID IN GOD. When God sets ASIDE Israel, THEN the NEW program is introduced by Paul.
We know this by studying the Bible and the bible itself tells us who this nation was. By following the instructions in 2 Tim 2:15, and rightly dividing the scriptures, we can KNOW who this is speaking of.

God's Presence Transferred From the Synagogue to the Church
"There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey. When vintage time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce. But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and a third they stoned. Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones, but they treated them in the same way. Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, 'They will respect my son.' But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.' They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?" They answered him, "He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the proper times." Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the scriptures: 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes'? Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit. (The one who falls on this stone will be dashed to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.)" When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them. And although they were attempting to arrest him, they feared the crowds, for they regarded him as a prophet. (Cf. Mat 21:33-46)
Clearly in this parable, the vineyard represents the people of God i.e. Israel; the servants represent the prophets; the landowner's son is Jesus; and the tenants represent the Jews, in particular the chief priests and Pharisees. The people that will produce its fruit represents the Church i.e. the people of God after the death of Jesus or the New Israel (Gal 4:28-31 and CCC 877). Indeed this parable was realized with the immolation, death and resurrection of Jesus.
The Temple at Jerusalem was the house of God. Within the Temple was a section known as the Holy of Holies, which represented the dwelling place of God on earth. So sacred was the Holy of Holies that only the High Priest could enter it, and only once each year on the Day of Atonement to sprinkle the blood of the sin-offering and offer incense. (4) A veil which hung from the ceiling to the floor separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the Temple. Clearly, the veil represented a barrier between God and man resulting from Adam's sin.
"But Jesus cried out again in a loud voice, and gave up his spirit. And behold, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised." (Cf. Mat 27:50-52)
The passage above represents the sacrifice of Christ defeating sin and tearing down the barrier between God and man. The New American Bible (NAB) in the corresponding footnote described it this way:
"…Probably the torn veil of the gospels is the inner one. The meaning of the scene may be that now, because of Jesus' death, all people have access to the presence of God, or that the temple, its holiest part standing exposed, is now profaned and will soon be destroyed…"
St. Paul explained it this way: "But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come to be, passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands, that is, not belonging to this creation, he entered once for all into the sanctuary, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. …. (Cf. Hebrews 9:11-12)
In his letter to the Ephesians, St. Paul stated: "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby bringing the hostility to an end. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. (Cf. Eph 2:13-18)
In his first letter to Timothy, he stated: "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus…" (Cf. 1Ti 2:5)
It was St. John who wrote: "Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist. No one who denies the Son has the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well. Let what you heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father." (Cf. 1 John 2:22)
In view of the passages above, we submit that the tearing of the veil also represents the transfer of God's presence from the synagogue to the Church --- from Israel to the New Israel (Gal 4:28-31 and CCC 877). Even His name Emmanuel, which means "God is with us", supports this (Isa 7:14). We also see it in the word 'communion' which means in union with. In the Roman Catholic Church bread and wine are consecrated into the Body and Blood of Christ in Holy Communion.
We hasten to add that the word temple or holy place refers to one thing before the death of Jesus, and it refers to something completely different after His death.
