Muhammad
in the Bible, (Isaiah 60), Pilgrimage to Mecca..!
Here is some other prophecies about the
coming of the holy prophet of God , Muhammad(SAW), and
pilgrimage in Bible.
Isaiah
60:1 Arise, shine; for thy
light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon
thee.
60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and
gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon
thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings
to the brightness of thy rising.
60:4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they
gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons
shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at
thy side.
60:5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine
heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance
of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the
Gentiles shall come unto thee.
60:6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the
dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall
come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall
shew forth the praises of the LORD.
60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together
unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee:
they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I
will glorify the house of my glory.
In Isaiah 60:1-7, A prophecy about a
Holy man (prophet) bringing the light of God to the world.
This holy man would appear in a time of darkness filling
the world and covering the earth, He would appear to
eliminate the darkness and spread the light of God and his
praises.
In Isaiah 60:3 we read "And the
Gentiles shall come to thy light ", and that means
this Holy Prophet would arise among the Gentiles and his
Light would fill his place where the nations would come
and visit.
In Isaiah 60:4, we find the people would
come from far, the sons and daughters, all would come
together for the Light.
In Isaiah 60:5-6 it keeps telling us
about the coming of the people from all over the world to
the Light.
In Isaiah 60:7, is the clear meaning,
it's Kedar (Mekka) , Where its flocks and tribes would be
gathered together under the light of God, "they would
come up with acceptance on mine altar" (Note: Muslims
during the Hajj "pilgrimage" they slaughter the
sacrifices as one of the ceremonies and Muslims all over
the world share that from their places which is called Eid
Al Adha).
"And I Will
glorify the house of my glory", and it refers to the
Ka'ba in Mekka , the Sacred House for God's glory."
And this prophecy is mentioned in Qur'an
:
Surah Al Hajj (the pilgrimage) 22,
26. Behold! We
gave the site, to Abraham, of the (Sacred) House,
(saying): "Associate not anything (in worship) with
Me; and sanctify My House for those who compass it round,
or stand up, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in
prayer).
27. "And
proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee
on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on
account of journeys through deep and distant mountain
highways; "
(The Noble Quran, 22:26-27)
About "Prophet like unto
Moses":
In Deuteronomy
18:18 We find God said to Moses the following:
"I will raise
them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto
thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall
speak unto them all that I shall command him."
Regarding this verse, Christians used to
interpret it as a prophecy about the coming of the
Messiah, and Christian missionaries used to invent so many
things to prove the similarity between Jesus and Moses
(peace be upon them),but it's self-refuting claim, as it
can be refuted by a single verse from Deuteronomy, let's
read..
Deuteronomy 34:10 And there arose not a
prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD
knew face to face,
So this verse from Deuteronomy refutes
the claim of "Prophet like unto Moses" to be
Jesus (peace be upon them) as Jesus was one of the
Prophets of Israel.
