Gospel of John 7:2 But the Jewish Festival of Booths was near.

Comment:

What is the Festival of Booths?

What is the Feast of Tents?

What is the Feast of Tabernacles?

What is Sukkot (Succot, Sukkos)?

Sukkot (Festival of Booths, Festival of Tents, Feast of Tabernacles, Succot, Sukkos) is one of three festivals in which Jews are commanded by Allaah in the Torah to make pilgrimage to the Temple of Allaah in Jerusalem Al-Quds.

Sukkot is an agricultural festival and a remembrance of the time when the children of Israel lived in the desert for 40 years after their escape from the slavery of the Pharaoh in Egypt.

The other two festivals are Passover which commemorates the escape of the children of Israel 3300 years ago from the slavery of the Pharaoh in Egypt and Shavuot which commemorates the giving of the Torah by Allaah to the children of Israel at Mount Sinai.

Gospel of John 7:3 So his brothers said to him, "Remove yourself from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples there also may see the miracles you are doing.

Gospel of John 7:4 For no one who wants to become famous, acts in secret. If you really are doing these things, show yourself to the world."

Gospel of John 7:5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.

Gospel of John 7:6 Jesus therefore said to them, "The time for me has not yet come. But for you the time is always suitable.

Gospel of John 7:7 The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

Gospel of John 7:8 You go up to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because for me the time is not yet fully come."

Gospel of John 7:9 And having said these things, he remained in Galilee.

Jesus goes up for Sukkot.

Gospel of John 7:10 And when his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up, not openly, but in secret.

Gospel of John 7:11 The Jews therefore were looking for him in the festival, and saying, "Where is that fellow?"

Gospel of John 7:16 Jesus therefore answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but rather his who sent me.

Comment:

Explain Gospel of John 7:16.

Gospel of John 7:16 Jesus therefore answered them and said, "My teaching (what Jesus says) is not mine (not made by Jesus), but rather his (Allaah) who sent me (Jesus, as the prophet and messenger of Allaah).

Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (Allaah) shall raise up for them (the children of Israel) a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses Musa who delivered the Torah Taurat 3200 years ago when you were at Mount Sinai Horeb today in Egypt) from among their brothers brethren (The children of Israel are brothers and brethren to each other. The children of Esau are brothers and brethren to the children of Israel through Jacob Yaqub Israel who is the brother of Esau. The children of Ishmael Ismail are brothers and brethren to the children of Israel through Isaac Ishaq who is the brother of Ishmael Ismail and the father of Jacob Yaqub Israel. Esau and Ishmael Ismail are not one of the children of Israel. The children of Ishmael Ismail are the brethren and brother of the children of Isaac Ishaq which include the children of Israel in the same way as Allaah says the children of Esau who are not the children of Israel are the brethren of the children of Israel in Torah Deuteronomy 2:4 – 2:8 and Prophet Moses Musa says the children of Esau who are not the children of Israel are the brother of the children of Israel in Torah Numbers 20:14. Those who descended from Prophet Abraham Ibrahim are brothers and brethren to each other and brothers and brethren in the religion of Allaah because this is the religion of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) and I (Allaah through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel Jibril) shall put my (Allaah’s) words in the mouth of the prophet (meaning prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger), who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (Allaah) command him” (to speak to you. Note that all the prophets and messengers of Allaah are mentioned in Torah Deuteronomy 18:18. In Torah Genesis 25:9 “Isaac Ishaq and Ishmael Ismail his sons buried Abraham Ibrahim” meaning the children of Isaac Ishaq and the children of Ishmael Ismail are brothers and brethren to each other meaning the Hebrews and the Arabs are brothers and brethren to each other meaning the Jews and the Muslims are brothers and brethren to each other meaning everyone who follows the religion of Allaah are brothers and brethren to each other as confirmed in Torah Deuteronomy 18:15, 18:18 - 18:22 and Quran 5:68 and Quran 7:157);

Gospel of John 7:17 If someone is inclined to do His will, he will find out about the teaching, whether it is from Allaah, or I am speaking from myself.

Comment:

Explain Gospel of John 7:17.

Gospel of John 7:17 If someone (a human) is inclined to do His (Allaah’s) will, he (the human) will find out about the teaching (of Allaah), whether it is from Allaah (guiding them on the right path), or I (Jesus) am speaking from myself (directly to the people everything that Allaah through the Holy Spirit has commanded Jesus to speak).

Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (Allaah) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers (Isaac and Ishmael are brothers and descendants and brethren to the children of Israel and the Arabian people through Prophet Abraham who was the father of Isaac and Ishmael) and I (Allaah through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (Allaah’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (Allaah) command.”

Gospel of John 7:18 One who speaks from himself is seeking his own glory. But one seeking the glory of Him who sent him, such a one is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Comment:

Explain Gospel of John 7:18.

Gospel of John 7:18 One who speaks from himself is seeking his own glory. But one seeking the glory of Him (Allaah) who sent him (the prophet or messenger or messiah of Allaah), such a one (person) is true (truthful), and there is no unrighteousness in him (because what he does is for the will of Allaah and not for his human will).

Quran 6:90 Koran 6:90 Those (Prophets and messengers that bring faith in Allaah) are guided by Allaah so follow their guidance. Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the people), “I ask no reward from you for this (the Quran). It is a reminder (from Allaah) to (His) creatures.”

Quran 42:23 Koran 42:23 That is the Good news (of Paradise) that Allaah gives to His (Allaah’s) servants who believe and do good deeds. Say (Prophet Muhammad), “I do not ask you any payment for this (Quran) except (for you to show) kindness to those with whom you are related.” Whoever does a good deed We (Allaah) shall increase that person’s good (reward) because of it (the good deed). Allaah is forgiving and appreciative (towards Allaah’s obedient servants).

Quran 76:9 Koran 76:9 (Saying), “We feed you, for Allaah’s approval (of us). We desire no reward or thanks from you (the needy, the orphan and the captive) –

(Note 1. Gospel of Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good and lend, expecting nothing, and great will be your reward (in the hereafter) …”

Quran 76:10 Koran 76:10 We fear from our Lord (Allaah) a distressful Day (of Judgement).

Quran 76:11 Koran 76:11 So (in the hereafter) Allaah shall save them (who are the righteous among the humans) from the evil of (the hell fire on) that Day (of Judgement) and give them (the light of) radiance (in their appearance and in their righteous knowledge) and happiness (in Paradise).

Gospel of John 7:19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you performs the law. Why are you trying to kill me?"

Gospel of John 7:20 The crowd responded, "You have a demon. Who is trying to kill you?"

Gospel of John 7:21 Jesus answered and said to them, "One work I did, and you are all appalled.

Gospel of John 7:22 Why is it Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but rather from the patriarchs) and during the Sabbath you circumcise a man?

Comment:

1. Who are the patriarchs?

The patriarch is Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel) who are the heads of the family or tribe of the children of Israel.

From the time of Abraham circumcision started.

The time of Prophet Abraham was earlier than the time of Prophet Moses.

2. What is circumcision?

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin from the human penis.

3. What is the Sabbath?

What is the Shabbat?

The Sabbath Day is a covenant agreement between Allaah and the Jewish people forever as a remembrance of Allaah and the creation of the Heavens and the Earth in 6 Days (six periods of time).

The seventh day of the week is called the Sabbath Day or the Day of Rest when no work is done.

The Sabbath is from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday.

Gospel of John 7:23 If a man receives circumcision during the Sabbath so that the law of Moses not be broken, why are you incensed at me that I have made the whole man whole during the Sabbath?

Comment:

No work is allowed on the Sabbath Day.

Circumcision can be done on the Sabbath Day.

Can a circumcision be conducted on Shabbat?

Gospel of John 7:24 Judge not by appearances, but judge the righteous judgment."

Comment:

Judge between what is righteous and what is not righteous.

Is Jesus the Anointed One?

Gospel of John 7:25 Then some of the Jerusalemites were saying, "Is this not the man they are trying to kill?

Gospel of John 7:26 And behold he is speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Could it be the authorities have actually come to know that this is the Christ?

Comment:

1. What is the Christ?

Christ is the Greek word for the Hebrew word mashiach meaning the anointed one which is the English word messiah.

2. Who are messiahs?

Some of the messiahs in the Torah were King David and King Cyrus.

Some of the messiahs before the time of Jesus were King David and King Cyrus.

The Lord's Messiah King Cyrus the Great.

The Messiah before Jesus was Cyrus.

Jewish Hebrew Bible Isaiah 45:1 This is what the LORD (Allaah) said to His anointed (messiah, Christ), to (King) Cyrus, whose right hand I (Allaah) have held, to subdue nations before him, and to loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and that the gates may not be shut:

(Note 1. The Lord's Messiah King Cyrus the Great ruled from 1214 BH – 1185 BH, 559 BCE – 530 BCE, 559 BC – 530 BC).

(Note 2. Whose right hand Allaah has held means Allaah is in control of what happens.

Allaah stands at the right hand means Allaah is in control of what happens.

Jewish Hebrew Bible Psalm 109:30 I (King David) will give great thanks to the LORD (Allaah) with my mouth; yes, I (King David) will praise Him (Allaah) among the multitude (of peoples);

Jewish Hebrew Bible Psalm 109:31 Because He (Allaah) stands at the right hand of the needy, to save him (the person who needs Allaah the one who judges every soul justly) from them (among the wrong doers) that judge his soul (unjustly).

Gospel of John 7:27 Except this man, we know where he is from; but the Christ, when he comes, no one will know where he is from."

Gospel of John 7:28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "Yes, me you know, and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come of myself. True rather is the one who sent me; him you do not know.

Comment:

Explain Gospel of John 7:28.

Gospel of John 7:28 Then Jesus (the prophet and messenger and messiah) cried out in the (second Jewish) temple (in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine), teaching and saying, "Yes, me (Jesus) you know, and you know where I (Jesus) am from. Yet I (Jesus) have not come of myself (meaning to represent myself because ever prophet and messenger and messiah comes to represent Allaah by speaking as a human messenger in the name of Allaah). True (when the messiah comes no one will know where he is from but the meaning) rather is the one (Allaah) who sent me (Jesus as the prophet and messenger and messiah of Allaah); him (Allaah) you do not know.

Gospel of John 7:29 I know him, because I am from him, and that one has sent me."

Comment:

1. Explain Gospel of John 7:29.

Gospel of John 7:29 I (Jesus) know him (Allaah), because I (Jesus) am (a prophet and a messenger and a messiah) from him (Allaah), and that one (Allaah) has sent me (Jesus)."

1-1. Jesus is not Allaah because the one Allaah sent Jesus.

Gospel of John 7:29 I (Jesus) know him (Allaah), because I (Jesus) am (a prophet and a messenger and a messiah) from him (Allaah), and that one (Allaah) has sent me (Jesus)."

1-1. Jesus did not send Allaah but it was Allaah who sent Jesus.

Allaah is the master because Allaah sent Jesus.

Jesus is the servant because Jesus was sent as a prophet and a messenger and a messiah.

Allaah is the creator.

Jesus is a created human.

Gospel of John 7:30 Then they were trying to seize him, yet no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

Comment:

1. Jesus is Jewish but some of his brother Jews did not believe him.

2. What does “his hour had not yet come” mean?

Everything that happens is decreed by Allaah.

Jesus is not Allaah because Allaah is the one who has decreed what will happen to Jesus.

Allaah is the master who has decreed what will happen and when it will happen.

Jesus is the servant of Allaah who follows the decrees that Allaah has issued.

Gospel of John 7:31 But many of the crowd put trust on him, and they were saying, "When the Christ comes, will he perform more signs than this man has done?"

Comment:

Jesus is Jewish and some of his brother Jews believed him.

Gospel of John 7:32 The Pharisees heard these whispering of the crowd about him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

Comment:

Who are the Pharisees?

In the time of Jesus a Jewish sect called the Pharisees believed in the written Torah, the oral law (Jewish stories) and the resurrection of the dead in the Hereafter.

The Pharisees were in Judea today in Israel and Palestine in the period of the second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds from the second century BCE (BC) until the destruction of the second Jewish Temple in 569 BH (70 CE).

Much in today’s traditional Judaism and Jewish Rabbis developed from the religious Pharisee tradition.

Today Pharisee means Orthodox Jew.

Progressive revelation.

Video 2. Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and Allaah.

The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to Allaah as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures.

Jesus prayed to Allaah in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to Allaah.

Gospel of John 7:33 Jesus continued and said, "Just a short time more I am with you, and then I am going away, to the one who sent me.

Comment:

Explain Gospel of John 7:33.

Gospel of John 7:33 Jesus continued and said, "Just a short time more I (Jesus) am with you (as the prophet and messenger and messiah of Allaah), and then I (I) am going away, to the one (Allaah) who sent me (Jesus, because every human is decreed to return to Heaven and to Allaah).

Gospel of John 7:34 You will look for me, and will not find me, and where I am you are not able to come."

Comment:

1. Explain Gospel of John 7:34.

Gospel of John 7:34 You (people) will look for me (Jesus when I have died a natural death but my body will be hidden in the Earth just as the body of Moses and Elijah were hidden to prevent human idol worship), and (you) will not find me (the body of Jesus), and where I (the soul of Jesus) am (in Paradise) you (who are alive on the Earth) are not able to come (until Allaah decrees your death)."

(Note 1. Jesus is human and like every human Jesus died on the Earth.

(Note 2. When a human dies their soul is raised to heaven and to Allaah by the angel of death.

(Note 3. The human body is designed for life on the Earth and is not needed in Heaven.

(Note 4. Every human soul is raised to Heaven and to Allaah.

(Note 5. The soul will be given a new physical body that can feel reward and punishment on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement.

Quran 4:158 Koran 4:158 (At the end of the natural life of Jesus) Allaah raised him (the soul of Jesus) up to Himself (Allaah), (and the soul of Jesus is in heaven under the care of Allaah who is the creator of every soul and the carer of every soul). Allaah is all powerful (able to do all things) and He (Allaah) is all wise.

(Note 1. Jesus is a human.

Jesus is human because the soul of every human is raised to Heaven and to Allaah by the Angel of Death and the soul of every human is under the care of Allaah who is the creator of every soul and the carer of every soul.

(Note 2. The Earth is the resting place for the human body.

The human body is only needed on the Earth because the human body is designed for life on the Earth.

(Note 3. Heaven is the resting place for the human soul.

Heaven is made for the human soul because the human soul is designed for life in Heaven.

(Note 4. The human body dies on the Earth but the human soul lives forever in heaven.

(Note 5. The soul on the Day of Resurrection.

On the Day of Resurrection the human soul will be given a new physical body that can feel reward or punishment.

(Note 6. The natural deaths of Moses and Elijah and Jesus.

After the natural deaths of Moses and Elijah and Jesus their souls were raised to Heaven and to Allaah and their bodies were hidden in the Earth to prevent human idol worship but some Christians later made images of Jesus and began to pray to Jesus instead of praying to Allaah who is the creator of Jesus so Allaah inspired Prophet Muhammad to correct the confusion between Allaah and Jesus.

2. How could Jesus know what Jesus knew?

How did Jesus know what Jesus knew?

How could Jesus do what Jesus did?

The Torah, Gospel and Quran explain how Allaah through the Holy Spirit revealed knowledge to Jesus 2000 years ago in the same way as Allaah through the Holy Spirit has revealed knowledge to the other prophets and messengers and messiahs of Allaah throughout human history.

Jesus knew what Jesus knew in the same way as Moses knew what Moses knew.

Jesus did what Jesus did in the same way as Moses did what Moses did.

Jesus knew the future in the same way as Moses knew the future.

Jesus knew the past in the same way as Moses knew the past.

Jesus made miracles in the same way as Moses made miracles.

Jesus gave warnings in the same way as Moses gave warnings.

See Gospel of John 1:50 comment.

Gospel of John 7:35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, "Where is this man (our brother Jew named Jesus) about to go, that we will not find him? Is he about to go into the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

Gospel of John 7:36 What is the meaning of this statement that he said, 'You will look for me and will not find me, and where I am you are not able to come'?"

Comment:

Gospel of John 7:34 You (people) will look for me (Jesus when I have died a natural death but my body will be hidden in the Earth just as the body of Moses and Elijah were hidden to prevent human idol worship), and (you) will not find me (the body of Jesus), and where I (the soul of Jesus) am (in Paradise) you (who are alive on the Earth) are not able to come (until Allaah decrees your death)."

Comment:

1. Explain Gospel of John 7:37.

Gospel of John 7:37 And in the great and final day of the festival, there stood Jesus. And he cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty (for guidance to Allaah), he should come to me (Jesus who 2000 years ago was the messenger of Allaah); and drink (the Gospel, the Good News of Allaah confirming the Torah),

2. Why is Jesus not Allaah?

Every prophet and messenger and messiah delivers words of guidance from Allaah.

Gospel of John 7:37 “…"If anyone is thirsty (for guidance to Allaah), he should come to me (Jesus who 2000 years ago was the messenger of Allaah); and drink (the Gospel, the Good News of Allaah confirming the Torah),

2-1. Before Jesus Allaah sent Moses 3200 years ago.

If anyone is thirsty (for guidance to Allaah), he should come to me (Moses who 3200 years ago was the messenger of Allaah); and drink (the Torah, the Law of Allaah),

2-2. After Jesus Allaah sent Muhammad 1400 years ago.

If anyone is thirsty (for guidance to Allaah), he should come to me (Muhammad who 1400 years ago was the messenger of Allaah); and drink (the Quran, the Recitation of Allaah confirming the Torah and the Gospel),

Gospel of John 7:38 he who believes on me. As the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from His belly."

Comment:

Explain Gospel of John 7:38.

Gospel of John 7:38 he who believes on me (Jesus who 2000 years ago was the messenger of Allaah). As the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from His belly (meaning that believer will have everlasting life in Paradise in the hereafter)."

2. Why is Jesus not Allaah?

The belief that a human is god is called idol worship because Allaah is not a creation.

Allaah is the creator of every creation.

Every person who believes a messenger of Allaah that was sent in their time or whose teachings are later adopted and obeyed, to that believer Allaah shall grant eternal life in Paradise.

2-1. Before Jesus Allaah sent Moses 3200 years ago.

He who believes on me (Moses who 3200 years ago was the messenger of Allaah). As the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from His belly (meaning that believer will have everlasting life in Paradise in the hereafter).

2-2. After Jesus Allaah sent Muhammad 1400 years ago.

He who believes on me (Muhammad who 1400 years ago was the messenger of Allaah). As the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from His belly (meaning that believer will have everlasting life in Paradise in the hereafter).

Gospel of John 7:39 Now this he said in reference to the Spirit, whom those believing in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet present, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Comment:

Explain Gospel of John 7:39.

Gospel of John 7:39 Now this he (Jesus who was guided by the Holy Spirit of Allaah angel Gabriel) said in reference to the (Holy) Spirit, whom those believing in him (Jesus the messenger of Allaah) were about to receive (to strengthen their faith because those who believe Allaah’s messenger also believe Allaah whereas those who disbelieve Allaah’s messenger disbelieve Allaah who sent that messenger). For the (Holy) Spirit was not yet present (among the people), because Jesus had not yet been glorified (meaning that Jesus had not yet completed his mission as the prophet and messenger and messiah of Allaah).

Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (Allaah) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers (Isaac and Ishmael are brothers and descendants and brethren to the children of Israel and the Arabian people through Prophet Abraham who was the father of Isaac and Ishmael) and I (Allaah through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (Allaah’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (Allaah) command.”

Gospel of Luke 1:19 “… “I am Gabriel, one who stands in the presence of Allaah and I have been sent to speak to you …”

Gospel of Luke 1:35 And in answer the angel (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who came in the form of a man) said to her (the virgin Mary), "The Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who will come in the form of a dove, a body with wings, an angel) will come upon you (to deliver to your womb a soul created by Allaah for your son Jesus), and the power of the Most High (Allaah) will overshadow you (so that what Allaah has decreed is fulfilled without failure). For this reason also, the one to be born will be called holy (the blessed), the Son of Allaah (meaning the servant of Allaah, the slave of Allaah, the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by Allaah).

(Note 1. The power is Allaah who is the creator of every creation.

(Note 2. Mary and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the created servants of Allaah.

(Note 3. Allaah created the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and Allaah shows how Allaah revealed Himself to humans such as Mary and Jesus through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel.

(Note 4. Allaah created Jesus and there is not one creation that Allaah has not created because Allaah is the creator of every creation.

(Note 5. Angels including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel may appear in the form of a man or in their true form as a body with wings (like a bird, like a dove, an angel).

(Note 6. In the Torah the children of Israel are the son of Allaah (meaning the servant of Allaah, the slave of Allaah).

(Note 7. The Gospel is the story of one of the children of Israel (one son of Allaah meaning one servant of Allaah, one slave of Allaah) named Jesus.

(Note 8. 2000 years ago Jesus was the only begotten son (the only begotten servant) meaning that Jesus was given the highest authority of a prophet messenger and messiah to speak in the name of Allaah to the generation of people who lived in his time 2000 years ago.

(Note 9. Quran 4:159 Koran 4:159 And there is not (one person) from the people of the Book (Quran 4:159 are not the Christians because Christianity did not exist until after the natural death of Prophet Jesus Isa on the earth 2000 years ago in Quran 3:55, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:75, Quran 5:117 and Quran 39:42 meaning Jesus Isa was not a witness when his followers abandoned Judaism and created a new religion called Christianity because Allaah had decreed there will be more than one “community” of Allaah on the earth so that Allaah can test who is best in behaviour between and within each “community” of Allaah after Allaah ordered His “communities” of Judaism and Christianity and Islam to “strive for all that is good” in Quran 5:48 where Allaah explains why Allaah did not make only one “community” of Allaah for the people of the earth. Jesus Isa was only a witness among the Jewish people. Jesus and Mary and Joseph and the twelve disciples of Jesus were Jewish. The people of the Book in Quran 4:159 are the Jews who saw and heard Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago when Jesus Isa was living in Quran 3:55, Quran 4:157, Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42 and there is not one person from the Jewish people who saw and heard Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago) but surely he believes in him (Prophet Jesus Isa as described in the Gospel of Luke 24:19 “… The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and in word, in the eyes of both Allaah and all the people” and as described in Gospel of Mark 12:29 “… Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our Allaah is one Lord” and as described in Gospel of Matthew 24:36 “But as for that day and hour, no one knows it except the Father Allaah alone; not even the angels of heaven meaning the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of Allaah, not even the Son” meaning Jesus who is a servant of Allaah and as described in Gospel of Matthew 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until the sky and the earth pass away meaning until the end of the earth, not one iota, not one serif meaning not a dot of one letter, will by any means pass away from the Law meaning the Torah Taurat until everything is carried out” meaning on the Day of Judgement which is after the end of the earth and as described in Gospel of Matthew 5:19 “Therefore, whoever looses one of the least of these commandments meaning in the Torah Taurat, and teaches people the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them meaning practices the Torah Taurat and teaches them meaning teaches the Torah Taurat, this one will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” A Jewish person living 2000 years ago in the time of the living prophet Jesus Isa who saw and heard that prophet speak must believe) before his death (means before the death of any person who saw and heard Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago he must believe in him) otherwise on the Day of Resurrection he (Prophet Jesus Isa) shall be a witness against them (in Quran 7:6 and Quran 5:117 and Quran 3:55 because Jesus Isa can only testify about what he saw when he lived before his natural death on the earth 2000 years ago in Quran 3:144, Quran 5:75, Quran 5:117 and Quran 39:42. Jesus in Quran 7:6 testifies to Allaah in the hereafter in Quran 5:117 “… I was a witness to them when I lived among them ...” meaning in the hereafter Jesus Isa will testify he was raised only one time by the angel of death when Jesus Isa lived among the children of Israel 2000 years ago. Both Allaah and Jesus make no mention that in the religion of Islam Jesus will return to this earth because it contradicts Quran 33:40 which forbid any prophet from coming to this earth after the death of Prophet Muhammad. Jesus Isa is a prophet wherever he may be so it is forbidden by Allaah in Quran 33:40 for Jesus Isa to return to life until every human is returned to life on the Day of Resurrection on a new earth meaning a new ground in the hereafter as explained in Quran 5:117 comments. The Jews who saw and heard Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago and mocked and threatened him by claiming “they killed Prophet Jesus Isa” on the cross in Quran 4:157 testified that they supported an unjust killing which their guardian angel has recorded against them in Quran 50:17 – 50:18 and the record of their deeds will be given to them in the hereafter in Quran 39:69. Quran 4:159 does not apply to Jews in all times because Jews who lived before the time of Jesus Isa did not know Jesus Isa and because after the time of Jesus Isa many Jews disbelieved in Jesus Isa because some Christians claimed “Jesus is Allaah or part of Allaah” which contradicts what Allaah taught the Jews in Torah Numbers 23:19 “Allaah is not a man or the son of man.” Many Jews do not know the message about Jesus in the Quran because Satan Shaitan whispers "Muslims are dangerous people and it is best to stay far away from them." However Satan Shaitan cannot succeed against the righteous among the Jewish people who follow the Torah Taurat which Allaah promised to protect forever in Quran 2:40-2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 - 3:115, Quran 5:69, Exodus 2:24, Leviticus 26:44-26:45, Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 7:7-7:8, Deuteronomy 12:1, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, 2 King 13:23, Psalm 19:8-19:12 in Jewish Tanakh or Psalm 19:7-19:11 in Christian Old Testament Bible, Psalm 111:7 - 111:9, Hosea 3:4-3:5, Daniel 12:2, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people mentioned in Isaiah 36:11, Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 meaning the Torah Taurat protects the same commandment delivered by every messenger of Allaah to pray only to the one Allaah who created every creation and to do good deeds in this world. The righteous Jews who do not know Jesus Isa or the Quran have been correctly guided by Allaah to worship only Allaah as explained by Allaah in Quran 5:48 where Allaah has created more than one “community’ of Allaah and Allaah is guiding each community through what Allaah “has given them” in His protected books as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA Jews, Christians, Muslims and others are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 – 3:115. Quran 4:162, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69, Quran 5:82 – 5:85 and Quran 41:8 confirming the promise in the Jewish Hebrew Bible to the Jews and in the Gospel Injil to the Christians. Quran 4:159, Quran 5:117, Quran 7:6 and Quran 39:69 show that in the time of a living prophet he can be a witness in the hereafter against people who lived in his time. Quran 3:113 – 3:115 shows that in the time of Prophet Muhammad the righteous Jews followed Judaism and believed Prophet Muhammad as explained by Allaah in Quran 5:48 and those Jews were promised Paradise by Allaah in Quran 3:115. Quran 5:82 – 5:85 shows that in the time of Prophet Muhammad the righteous Christians followed Christianity and believed Prophet Muhammad as decreed by Allaah in Quran 5:48 and were promised Paradise by Allaah in Quran 5:85. Jews and Christians have been told to follow their Books in Quran 3:93, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48 and Quran 5:68 so that three “communities” of Allaah are created and established on the earth until the Day of Judgement. Jews like Quran 3:113-3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82-5:85 who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allaah and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran is confirmed in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39. Today there is no prophet and every human is tested by Allaah according to Quran 5:48 to show in the hereafter who is best in behaviour. Quran 5:48, Quran 3:64 and Quran 98:5 shows that Jews who follow the Jewish Hebrew Bible and Christians who follow the four Gospels Injil and Muslims who follow the Quran are correctly guided if Allaah wills because those books have the same command to pray only to the one creator of every creation and to do good deeds in this world. Jews follow the Torah Taurat. Christian can know that whatever in the four Gospels contradicts the Torah Taurat came from the Gospel writers and not from Allah in a test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allah has changed. Muslims follow the Quran which confirms the Torah Taurat is correct and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel. Jews, Christians, Muslims and others can come together in each generation testifying their submission to Allaah in Quran 3:64 to promote peace making in Quran 4:114 as an example of good behaviour by those who know Allaah to those who do not know Allaah in Quran 45:14. The purpose of Quran 4:159 where everyone who saw and heard Prophet Jesus must have believed in him 2000 years ago otherwise Prophet Jesus will testify against them is for the people who are living in the time of Prophet Muhammad to know that everyone who saw and heard Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago must have believed in him otherwise Prophet Muhammad will testify against them.Today there are no prophets meaning Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad will only testify about the people in their time because they will have no knowledge about any other people except what Allaah reveals to them).

(Note 10. Muslims should believe that Jesus is among the righteous prophets and messengers of Allaah.

Quran 2:136 Koran 2:136 (Prophet Muhammad) say (to them), "We believe in Allaah and the revelation given to us and to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob (Israel) and the Tribes (the 12 tribes of the children of Israel), and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord (Allaah). We make no difference between one (prophet) and another (we say that all the prophets have the same message which is that there is one and only one Allaah who is the creator of every creation) and we submit (our will) to (the will of) Allaah."

Quran 29:46 Koran 29:46 And do not argue with the People of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) except in the best way (by using good words and in a good manner), except with those of them that are wrongdoers. And say, “We (Muslims) believe in what has been revealed to us (Muslims in the Quran) and revealed to you (the Jews in your Torah and the Christians in your Gospel). Our (Muslim) Allaah and your (Jewish and Christian) Allaah is (the same) one (Allaah) and to Him (Allaah, the creator of every creation) we have submitted (ourselves as believers in Him the one and only Allaah).”

Gospel of Luke 3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him (Jesus) in the bodily form of a dove (a body with wings, an angel) …”

Quran 2:97 Koran 2:97 Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the people), who is against (Angel) Gabriel? because it is he (Angel Gabriel) who has revealed this (Scripture, the Quran) to your heart (Prophet Muhammad) by Allaah’s permission, confirming what was revealed before it (in the Gospel and in the Torah), and as a guidance and good news for those who believe.

Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 “… To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (Allaah through the Holy Spirit) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and strengthened him (Jesus) with (guidance through) the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost) …”

Gospel of John 7:40 Some in the crowd therefore who heard these words were saying, "Surely this man is the Prophet."

Comment:

Jesus is Jewish and some of his brother Jews believed him.

Gospel of John 7:41 Others were saying, "This man is the Christ." The former were then saying, "What? The Christ comes from Galilee?

Comment:

1. Jesus is Jewish and some of his brother Jews believed him and others disbelieved.

2. In the time of Jesus what did people believe about Jesus?

2000 years ago in the time of Jesus in Judea no one believed that Jesus was Allaah.

In the time of Jesus all the believers in Jesus believed that Jesus was a human prophet messenger and messiah of Allaah because in the Torah many prophets and messengers and messiahs had come before Jesus.

In the time of Jesus all the people who believed in Jesus believed that Jesus was human.

In the time of Jesus no one believed that Jesus was Allaah because every Jew who believed in Allaah knew that Allaah is the creator of every creation.

If no one believed that Jesus was Allaah in the time of Jesus then why would anyone believe that Jesus was Allaah 2000 years later?

The Gospel says that Jesus is a messenger of Allaah so why would anyone believe that Jesus is Allaah?

The Gospel says that Jesus is human so why would anyone believe that Jesus is Allaah?

The Gospel does not say that Jesus is Allaah so why would anyone believe that Jesus is Allaah?

In the Torah Allaah punishes humans for worshiping anything that is a creation because this is idol worship that is forbidden in the Ten Commandments of Allaah.

See the Gospel of John 1:50 comment.

Gospel of John 7:46 The officers answered, "Never has someone spoken so, like this man speaks."

Gospel of John 7:47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "Have you also been deceived?

Gospel of John 7:48 Has anyone of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed on him?

Gospel of John 7:49 As for this crowd, cursed are they, not understanding the law."

Comment:

Who are the crowd?

The crowd is those among the Jews who believe Jesus.

1-1. Who are the Pharisees?

In the time of Jesus a Jewish sect called the Pharisees believed in the written Torah, the oral law (Jewish stories) and the resurrection of the dead in the Hereafter.

The Pharisees were in Judea today in Israel and Palestine in the period of the second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds from the second century BCE (BC) until the destruction of the second Jewish Temple in 569 BH (70 CE).

Much in today’s traditional Judaism and Jewish Rabbis developed from the religious Pharisee tradition.

Today Pharisee means Orthodox Jew.

Progressive revelation.

Video 2. Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and Allaah.

The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to Allaah as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures.

Jesus prayed to Allaah in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to Allaah.

Gospel of John 8:7 And after they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "The one among you who is sinless should be first to throw a stone at her."

Gospel of John 8:8 And after bending down again, he continued writing on the ground.

Gospel of John 8:9 And after they heard this, they went away, one by one, starting with the oldest, until he alone was left, and the woman still in the midst.

Comment:

1. Explain Gospel of John 8:12.

Gospel of John 8:12 Jesus then spoke to them (the people 2000 years ago) again, saying, "I (Jesus the messenger of Allaah) am the light of the world (delivering the guidance of Allaah in the Gospel).

4. Who is the light?

Who is the light of guidance for human behaviour?

4-1. Before the time of Jesus 3200 years ago the light was Moses who was the messenger that delivered the Torah.

O People of the Scripture (the children of Israel), now Our (Allaah’s) messenger (Prophet Messenger Moses) has come to you, revealing the Scripture (Torah). Now has come to you from Allaah a light (Prophet Messenger Moses) and a clear Book (the Torah).

4-2. 2000 years ago the light was Jesus who was the messenger that delivered the Gospel.

O People of the Scripture (the Jews), now Our (Allaah’s) messenger (Prophet Messenger Jesus) has come to you, revealing much of that which you used to hide in the Scripture (Torah) and much that you used to ignore (in the Torah). Now has come to you from Allaah a light (Prophet Messenger Jesus) and a clear Book (the Gospel).

4-3. After the time of Jesus 1400 years ago the light was Muhammad who was the messenger that delivered the Quran.

Quran 5:15 Koran 5:15 O People of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians), now Our (Allaah’s) messenger (Prophet Muhammad) has come to you, revealing much of that which you used to hide in the Scripture (the Torah and the Gospel) and much that you used to ignore (in the Torah and in the Gospel). Now has come to you from Allaah a light (Prophet Muhammad) and a clear Book (the Quran confirming and explaining what is in the Torah and the Gospel).

(Note 1. Gospel of John 14:16 And I (Jesus the messenger of Allaah) will ask the Father (Allaah, what Allaah has decreed), and he (Allaah, answered Jesus through the Holy Spirit that Allaah) will give you (humans) another Counselor (another Comforter, another prophet messenger so), that he (the guidance of that comforter, counsellor, messenger) may be ever (forever, through what that next messenger reveals, be left) with you (humans, this is forever because that prophet will be the last messenger of Allaah),

Gospel of John 16:9 (Allaah is sending another Comforter, Counselor, prophet and messenger after Jesus to explain the word of Allaah) concerning sin (wrong doing), because they (the wrong doers) do not believe in me (Jesus who is the prophet and messenger and messiah);

Gospel of John 8:13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You are testifying about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."

Gospel of John 8:14 Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, because I know where I came from, and where I am going. But you do not know where I am coming from, or where I am going.

Comment:

1. Explain Gospel of John 8:14.

Gospel of John 8:14 Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I (Jesus) testify about myself, my testimony is valid, because I (Jesus) know where I came from (because every believer of Allaah knows that every human soul was made by Allaah and came down by the angels of Allaah from Heaven to the womb of the mother on the Earth), and where I am going (because every believer in Allaah knows that Allaah has decreed death for every human and the return of their soul from Earth to Heaven and to Allaah). But you do not know where I am coming from, or where I am going (because you do not believe Jesus the messenger of Allaah and therefore you do not believe Allaah who is the one who sent Jesus).

Gospel of John 8:15 You judge by the flesh; I judge no one.

Comment:

1. Explain Gospel of John 8:15.

Gospel of John 8:15 You judge by the flesh (making human judgements); I judge no one (because Jesus is sent to Earth as a messenger of Allaah and not as a judge).

2. How does Jesus show Jesus is not Allaah.

Jesus does not judge anyone because Jesus was sent as a messenger by Allaah.

Jesus is a messenger.

Jesus did not originate the message of Allaah.

Jesus delivered the message of Allaah.

Quran 5:75 Koran 5:75 The Messiah (Jesus Isa), son of Mary (Maryam), was no more than a (human) messenger (of Allaah) and (all the human) messengers (of Allaah) before him (Prophet Jesus Isa) have passed away (meaning died. All the messengers before Jesus Isa have died so would you expect that Prophet Muhammad would live forever or expect that Prophet Muhammad will not die or believe that Prophet Jesus Isa did not die or that Prophet Moses Musa did not die or that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not die? See Quran 3:144, 4:157, 4:158, 5:72, 5:75, 5:117, 19:36 and 39:42 comments). His mother was a righteous woman and they (Jesus Isa and Mary Maryam) both used to eat food (meaning Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa died a natural death 2000 years ago because both “used to eat food” meaning they are dead because they do not eat food today. The human body needs food. When Adam and Eve Hawa were created with a human body they ate food in heaven. If the human body of Jesus Isa was raised to heaven as some people claim then Jesus Isa would be eating food today which contradicts Quran 5:75 “Jesus and Mary both used to eat food” meaning Jesus and Mary both do not eat food today because they died a natural death like every human messenger of Allaah before them has died in Quran 5:75 and as Prophet Jesus Isa died in Quran 3:144 which says the messengers of Allaah before Prophet Muhammad have died meaning Jesus Isa died 2000 years ago because the messenger of Allaah before Prophet Muhammad is Prophet Jesus Isa who lived and died a natural death 2000 years ago. Allaah raises the soul to heaven not the human body. The soul is alive in heaven without a human body and without the need for food. The human body is only needed on this earth. The soul without the body for Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa are in heaven waiting for the Day of Resurrection which will come in the hereafter on a new earth after the end of this earth, the sun, the moon, the stars and the universe meaning the Day of Resurrection is after the end of this first creation. After the Day of Resurrection and Judgement the new physical human body will eat food in the hereafter only for enjoyment in Paradise Jannah and only for punishment in Hell Jahannam). (Even now when) We (Allaah) make the revelations clear for them (that Jesus Isa is not Allaah but a human by showing that the soul of Jesus Isa was raised up to Allaah like every human soul is raised up to Allaah by the angel of death) see how they (some among the Christians who believe Jesus Isa is Allaah) are deluded (in thinking that Jesus Isa is more than a human messenger. Moses Musa describes all the messengers who will come after him including Jesus Isa in Taurat Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 – 18:22. Jesus Isa never said "I am Allaah" or "worship me" or "I am a Trinity" in the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and that is why such beliefs are called "deluded" meaning they are not true because they are opposite to what Jesus Isa is teaching in all the Gospels Injils that were with the Christians 1400 years ago and are still with them today and will be with them until the Day of Judgement as proof that Jesus Isa never claimed he was Allaah and as proof Jesus Isa told people to pray not to him but to Allaah and worship not him but worship Allaah. What some people think Jesus Isa said is opposite to the meaning of the words of Jesus Isa which are recorded in all the Gospels Injils and this is why it is said that some Christians 1400 years ago had deluded ideas meaning untrue ideas that Jesus Isa was more than a human or that he was Allaah or that he was a partner with Allaah in a Trinity. Jesus Isa was a human who died like every human before him had died and whose soul was raised up to Allaah to be in Allaah's care like the soul of every human is raised up after death to be in Allaah's care. The meaning of Quran 5:75 is that Jesus Isa died 2000 years ago like every human messenger of Allaah had died before him as proof to the people in his time that Jesus is not Allaah or a partner with Allaah but only a human servant who delivered the message of Allaah. The natural death of Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago when Jesus Isa was raised up to Allaah by the angel of death in Quran 3:144, Quran 5:75, Quran 5:117 and Quran 39:42 is confirmed in the Injils of Isa the Gospels of Jesus by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John which is with the Christians today as proof of the truthfulness of the Quran in the Gospel of Mark 16:19, the Gospel of Luke 24:51 and the last report of the life of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew 28:20 and the Gospel of John 21:25 which all show that Jesus lived his life on this earth after the crucifixion teaching the people that he is not Allaah saying "Allaah is my Father and your Father" meaning Allaah is my creator and your creator and teaching the people "Allaah is my Allaah and your Allaah" meaning Allaah is my master and your master meaning Allaah is my Lord and your Lord in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 until his natural death 2000 years ago in Judea today in Israel and Palestine).

Note 1a. In Quran 5:75 "they used to eat food" means Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa are dead.

(Note 1. After Prophet Muhammad revealed that Jesus was a human like every messenger before Jesus some Christians continued to believe that Jesus was god.

Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (Allaah) except as a servant.

(Note 2. After Prophet Muhammad revealed that stone idols are stones with no power some stone idol worshippers continued to believe that stone idols were gods.

(Note 3. The worship of anything that is created such as Jesus or stone idols is called idol worship.

Quran 5:73 Koran 5:73 They (some Christians) have certainly disbelieved (in Allaah) by saying, “Allaah is part of a Trinity”, since no one is Allaah except the one Allaah (who created everything). If they (some of the Christians) do not stop from what they are saying (when they say that Allaah is part of a Trinity), then a painful punishment (in the hereafter) shall fall on those of them who disbelieve (that Allaah is the creator of every creation and that nothing that has been created can be Allaah because the worship of anything or anyone that Allaah has created is called idol worship).

See: Who is Allaah? Who is Jesus? Who is the Holy Spirit? Is Allaah a Trinity? See in the Gospel of John 12:49 comment.

2-1. The one who is Good is Allaah.

In the time of Jesus no one called Jesus Allaah so this is a warning to future generations not to make Jesus a god because praying to a human is called idol worship.

Gospel of Luke 18:19 And Jesus said to him, "Why are you calling me good (why are you calling me Allaah)? No one is good, except Allaah alone (no one is Allaah except Allaah alone).

(Note 1. The one who is Good is Allaah.

The one who is your LORD is Allaah.

The one who is your Father is Allaah.

The one who is the creator of every creation is Allaah.

Why are you calling me Allaah? No one is Allaah except Allaah alone.

(Note 2. Just as Father means Allaah so also Good means Allaah.

Good and Allaah are used in the same way as:

Son of Allaah means servant of Allaah and slave of Allaah.

Mother of Allaah means servant of Allaah and slave of Allaah.

Brother of Allaah means servant of Allaah and slave of Allaah.

Sister of Allaah means servant of Allaah and slave of Allaah.

Children of Allaah means servant of Allaah and slave of Allaah.

Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (Allaah) except as a servant.

2-2. Worshipping anything or anyone that Allaah has created is called idol worship.

Quran 5:74 Koran 5:74 Would they (those among the Christians who mistakenly idol worship the human called Jesus instead of correctly worshipping Allaah who is the creator of Jesus and of every other creation) not like to turn to Allaah and ask His (Allaah’s) forgiveness? Allaah is forgiving and merciful.

(Note 1. Making a human to be Allaah is called idol worship.

Allaah is not human because a human does not have the power to create the Universe.

Allaah is not Jesus because Jesus is a creation.

Allaah is the creator of every creation.

(Note 2. There are some Christians who correctly believe that Jesus is not Allaah but a human messenger of Allaah.

2-3. In the time of Jesus what did people believe about Jesus?
