AHMAD
The name under which Muhammad professes that Jesus Christ foretold his coming. Vide Qur'an, Surah lxi. 6, "And remember when Jesus the son of Mary said 'O children of Israel! of a truth I am God's Apostle to you to confirming the law which was given before me, and to announce an apostle that shall come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad."' Muhammad had, no doubt, heard that Our Lord had promised a Paraclatos , John xvi.7. This title, understood by him, probably from the similarity of Sound, as equivalent to Periclytos , he applied to himself with reference to his own name Muhammad, the praised or glorified one. Muir thinks that in some imperfect Arabic translation of the Gospel of St. John, the word may have been translated Ahmad, or praised. (Life of Mahomet, vol. i., 17.)

The prophecy said Servant of God will war in bringing judgement, to correct the wrongs. He will also liberate Arabia from worshiping molten images. Wilderness (desert), villages and cities will glorify God. This is what happen today. Whole of Arabia worshiping God daily.
ReplyDeleteAnd we continue reading Isaiah 42:18 - 25; Children of Israel will still be deaf and blind as they neglect the message brought by the 'Servant of God'.

In Isaiah 42:1, this cannot be a coincidence. If we look at the writing of אתמך (Atmc) אחמד (Ahmad). Not to mentioned אתמך (Atmc) is used only once. [Scribes copying error or indeed an intended error?] And the word before אתמך (Atmc), is עבדי (Abedi~My Servant). It is indeed indicating Ahmad Abedallah (Ahmad 'Servant of God').
Children of Israel had been foretold by the coming of Ahmad.
