They say unto him, “The Son of David.” How then doth David in spirit call him Lord? (Matthew 22)

(…continues from part six…)

7)            This is one of the Messianic Psalms (Ps. 110), where the first ‘LORD’ is God the Father, Who is ever seated on the empyrean throne. The Second ‘Lord,’ from the definition of ‘âdôn, is the Lord from heaven, Who is jointly seated in celestial Sovereignty with the Father. He is none other than Jesus Christ, the ‘Amen’ of prayers offered to the LORD God. Can you compare, in any way, the divine status of Jesus with that of the humanity of Muhammad? Jesus did engage the fault finding Pharisees, 41) “While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42) Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43) He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44) The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45) If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 46) And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions” (Matthew 22:41-46). The pharisaical contumacy of Jewish dissonance was summarily rendered inoperative: for they understood where Jesus took them.

                I am constantly saying this: that Muhammad failed or boldaciously refused to acknowledge and be free: for whoever the Son shall set free is free indeed. This Allah’s imposed Al-Hashir – the first to be resurrected, the people being resurrected thereafter – name of Muhammad: does it not give Muhammad the mentality of a ‘wannabe’? Centuries before Muhammad was, it had been written, 5) “And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6) He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay” (Matthew 28:5-6). His resurrection is what truly makes the resurrection of Adamic elevation a possibility. Does Pauline Apostolic explanation not say, “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence” (Colossians 1:18)? “Kiss the Son,” Muhammad, I am warning you, “lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little:” for “Blessed are all they that put their trust in him” (Psalm 2:12).

 “He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heaven” (Ephesians 4:10)

                Psalm 68:18 “Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.” Quoting this Psalm, Paul gave further exegesis on it in Ephesians 4:8-10 8) “Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9) (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10) He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things).” Before Jesus conquered death, which He must, to consummate soteriology, He led the spirit of death, Satan and his evil principalities in a triumphant procession to heaven.

                Jesus is the first to resurrect from death; He, as the Adonai, must of necessity take preeminence in all things. Does the Qur’an give any empyreal insight into where Muhammad went after his death? Allah, obviously, did not prepare his last prophet for his eventual demise, to enable Muhammad to tidy up the Quranic documentation of his empyrean entry after death. Jesus did not only go directly to heaven, He sat, in heaven, at the right hand of empyrean Majesty. How can he be the first to resurrect when the genuineness of the Hadith clearly documents, “Narrated ‘Abu Huraira: “When Allah revealed the Verse: “Warn your nearest kinsmen,” Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) got up and said, “O people of Quraish (or said similar words)! Buy (i.e. save) yourselves (from the Hellfire) as I cannot save you from Allah’s Punishment; O Bani `Abd Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah’s Punishment, O Safiya, the Aunt of Allah’s Messenger (pbuh)! I cannot save you from Allah’s Punishment; O Fatima bint Muhammad! Ask me anything from my wealth, but I cannot save you from Allah’s Punishment” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Wills and Testaments (Wasaayaa) Book 55, Hadith 16)?

 By Allah…I am Allah’s Messenger I do not know what Allah will do to me.” (Bukhari Bk. 91 Had. 21)

                A more Muhammadan spiritual incapacitation anent soteriology is Sahih al-Bukhari, Interpretation of Dreams Book 91, Hadith 21 “Narrated ‘Kharija bin Zaid bin Thabit: Um Al-`Ala an Ansari woman who had given a pledge of allegiance to Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) told me:, “The Muhajirln (emigrants) were distributed amongst us by drawing lots, and we got `Uthman bin Maz’un in our share. We made him stay with us in our house. Then he suffered from a disease which proved fatal. When he died and was given a bath and was shrouded in his clothes. Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) came, I said, (addressing the dead body), ‘O Aba As-Sa’ib! May Allah be Merciful to you! I testify that Allah has honored you.’ Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said, ‘How do you know that Allah has honored him?” I replied, ‘Let my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah’s Messenger (pbuh)! On whom else shall Allah bestow. His honor?’ Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said, ‘As for him, by Allah, death has come to him. By Allah, I wish him all good (from Allah). By Allah, in spite of the fact that I am Allah’s Messenger (pbuh), I do not know what Allah will do to me.” Um Al-`Ala added, “By Allah, I will never attest the righteousness of anybody after that.”

                What does it say of Jesus Christ anent righteousness? 5) “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. 6) In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jeremiah 23:5-6).

Muhammad does not possess the inspiration of the Holy Spirit

                Muhammad can neither save nor know what awaits him in the life after earthly days. As the Al-‘Aqib – after whom there will be no other Prophet –, did Muhammad receive or accept the Deity and supervision of the Holy Spirit? 1Corinthians 12:6-12 “And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7) But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8) For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9) To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10) To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11) But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.” As long as the Church continues to host the assemblage of the saints of Jesus, the prophetic office stands recognized and humanly occupied. Well, I think what Muhammad was made to understand is that Islam cannot have more than one last prophet in him. It is definitely not of the Biblical Church of God.

                Getting born again is a conscious effort on the part of an individual. Get born again. You were born in sin. Say this sinner’s prayer.

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
