Firstly, I come in peace and love, only to share a message of truth because I deeply care for all man-kind. If I do not tell the truth then that means I do not love you because that would mean I am withholding truth, and hard truth is not easily accepted. Please listen to this entire message before turning it off and weigh the evidence of what is presented.
YESHUA whom you call Isa loves you and wants you to come to Him so that He can save you, because He died on the stake for us all including Muslims. We will be discussing Surah 5:68 and 10:94 in the Quran and how it points to the Bible by referencing the Torah and the Injil/Injeel (Gospels), YESHUA is The Torah made flesh and is more than a prophet, what al-Masih means in Arabic, YESHUA has power to forgive sins because He is ELOHIM, YESHUA answers prayers, The Oneness unity of ELOHIM, and Ishmael is not the covenant son.
Firstly, I would like to say when you hear me say YAHWEH that is the Name of The Father, when you hear me say YESHUA that is His Son whom you know as Isa, and ELOHIM the proper title for what the world knows as God.
YESHUA can forgive sins
YESHUA possesses the power to forgive sins and the beautiful thing is this, think of the worst thing you have done in your life or something so shameful that you would never tell anyone else. YESHUA came and died for those sins and wiped the slate clean and remembers them no more! This is true love and He wants you to accept this free gift and give your life to Him, what a beautiful gift from The Father YAHWEH, this is something Islam cannot offer because they believe He is just a man/prophet.
Who has power to forgive sins? Everyone including Muslims agree that only ELOHIM alone has the power to forgive sins, so if YESHUA was not ELOHIM then how was He able to forgive sins? Proving He forgave sins would mean that He is more than a man and more than a prophet. So what does the gospels (injil) have to say about this?
Mathew 9:1-6
“And entering into a boat, He passed over, and came to His own city. And see, they were brining to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. And YESHUA, seeing their belief, said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son, your sins have been forgiven.” And see, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This One blasphemes!” And YESHUA, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think wickedness in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins have been forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’? But in order for you to know that the Son of Man possesses authority on earth to forgive sins…”He then said to the paralytic, “Rise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
Luke 7:46-50
“You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume. Therefore I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, he loves little. And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven.” And those who were sitting at the table with Him began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins? And He (YESHUA) said to the woman, “Your belief has saved you. Go in peace.”
So, as we can see the Pharisees around YESHUA were baffled because they believed that YESHUA was only a man, so how can He forgive sins? That is because He is ELOHIM in the flesh and had the power to forgive sins.
So now let us go back into the Torah to see Another forgive sins other than The Father YAHWEH! And as we see from the example from the gospels above is that it can only be YESHUA forgiving sins in this passage.
Exodus 23:20-21
“See, I am sending a Messenger before you to guard you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Be on guard before Him and obey His voice. Do not rebel against Him, for He is not going to pardon your transgression (an act that goes against a law, rule or code of conduct), for My Name is in Him.”
John 17:1-3
“YESHUA said these, and lifted up His eyes to the heavens, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Esteem Your Son, so that Your Son also might esteem You, as You have given Him AUTHORITY OVER ALL FLESH, that He should give everlasting life to all whom You have given Him. And this is everlasting life, that they should know You, the only true ELOHIM, and YESHUA Mashiach whom You have sent.”
YESHUA has authority over ALL people, not some people, and we also see that everlasting life requires to believe in YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA! It was important that I mention this first because YESHUA is found in the Torah and Gospels which is mentioned in the Quran in Surah 5:68.
Surah 5:68 pointing to the Bible
Contained within the pages of the Quran is Surah 5:68 which points to the Bible and I will break down this passage and pray that some eyes will be opened.
Surah 5:68 says
“You people of the Book (Israelites) have no ground to stand on until you observe the TORAH AND GOSPELS and what is revealed to you from the Lord (Reference to YAHWEH).”
Firstly, this statement is true because my message has always been for followers of YESHUA to keep the commandments and believe in YESHUA as recorded in Revelation 12:17 and Revelation 14:12. So every believer in YESHUA has no ground to stand on unless you have faith and works by keeping the commandments of the Torah and faith in YESHUA! But notice how Allah is verifying this fact and not denying it? By doing so he agrees that YESHUA is Son of YAHWEH, The Messiah (al-Masih), and that the Bible is the truth and must be obeyed according to the criteria that YESHUA Himself tells His followers to do.
John 14:21
“He who possesses My Commands and guards them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest Myself to him.” Verse 24 “He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but the Father who sent Me.”
This is critical because the Quran itself is pointing to the authenticity of The Bible by pointing to it as truth. Notice, how Allah says “You people of the Book” in doing so he is acknowledging that the Israelites/Jews are the chosen people of The Book and have the truth contained within The Torah and Gospels (Injil). If the Quran was the final revelation given to Muhammad, then why is this final revelation pointing back to the Bible? The Torah is the first five Books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) and YESHUA whom you know as Isa IS THE LIVING TORAH MADE FLESH, this should be an eye opener.
Think of it this way, even in the Torah the Israelites had to make animal sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins so the sinner was forgiven by the blood of an innocent animal. This was a foreshadow of what would happen with YESHUA His Son. YAHWEH was teaching His people that when you sin that innocent blood has to be shed for the sinner which is why He sent His Son YESHUA who was sinless yet became sin for us to bear the wrath of all of our sins. Now today, there is not Temple and there are no Levites because YESHUA is now our High Priest. So without a Temple we could not slaughter for sins even if we wanted, because YESHUA is the sacrificial Lamb for all man-kind. So the question is who is atoning for your sins today? The only One that can give you this gift if YESHUA!
So being that the Quran points to the Bible as the truth and that the Israelites are the chosen people of the Book (The Bible) and says to observe the Torah and Gospels. The beautiful part is that the written Torah is YESHUA made flesh Who is the Living Torah and He said so out of His own mouth:
John 14:6
“YESHUA said to him, I am the WAY, and the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Psalms 119:1
“Blessed are the perfect in THE WAY, who walk in the TORAH of YAHWEH!”
Psalms 119:142
“Your righteousness is righteousness forever, and Your TORAH IS TRUTH.”
Proverbs 13:14
“The TORAH of the wise is a fountain of LIFE.”
Notice how The Way, The Truth, and the Life all point back to the Torah? When YESHUA spoke these words He was summing up what He is, the word!
Psalms 40:7
“Then I said, See, I come in the scroll (volume) of the Book it is written concerning Me.”
YESHUA is speaking well before He became flesh and said that He comes in the scroll (the animal skin, papyrus, or leather the Torah was written on) was concerning Him. This ties in exactly to what YESHUA said in:
Luke 24:44
“And He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all have to be filled that were written in the Torah of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms (Zabur in Arabic) concerning ME.” Which matches perfectly with Psalms 40:7 quoted above.
John 5:39
“You search the Scriptures, because you think you possess everlasting life in them. And these are the ones that bear witness of Me.”
YESHUA’s Name literally means “YAHWEH is Salvation”, why? Because The Father YAHWEH sent His only begotten Son into the world to die for each of us for forgiveness of sins.
Surah 10:94
“If you are in doubt of anything revealed in the Quran then ask the people of the Book.” Some translations say “Then ask those who have been reading the Book or Scriptures before you.”
Firstly, this passage would not make sense by saying “Read the Quran which was before the Quran.” This passage is referring to another Book and that Book is the Bible which is also known as The Scriptures as some versions of the Quran read. So why would he tell you to ask us for the truth if we do not have the truth to begin with? The people of the book (Israelite/Jews and those grafted in) can tell you who YESHUA is and what the Gospels (Injil) means for your salvation and the importance of keeping the Torah. So he is pointing you to the authentic Word of ELOHIM that is found in the Bible and we know the Bible tells us how to be saved, so this is amazing. And the part about “Then ask those who have been reading the Scriptures before you,” proves that the Bible came first.
The Gospels are contained within the Bible (Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John) which is announcing The Good News of YESHUA, that He died for our sins and rose on the third day. YESHUA is waiting to receive you into His loving arms, all you have to do is accept that He is The Son of YAHWEH the promised Messiah (al-Masih), and That He died for you for forgiveness of sins. One thing I would like to say is there is nothing stopping you from getting on your knees and praying and asking YESHUA if He is the Son of YAHWEH! You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.
Notice, how Allah does not make any mention of the Bible being corrupt, or it not being the truth, or any falsehoods found within the Torah and Gospels? Also, he is saying to observe all that was sent down by ELOHIM, which means the entire Bible is the truth and contains the way to eternal life, and that is through YESHUA, and nobody comes to the Father except through Him alone.
So to put this in perspective, if a Christian were to leave their faith and convert to Islam, and they start reading the Quran and come across Surah 5:68? They would then realize that Allah is telling them to go back to the truth that they just left that was found in the pages of the Bible which contains the Torah and The Gospels and obey it.
Muslims I plea with you to accept this truth because you simply do not know your identity the same way most Christians do not know their identity. What I mean by this is that we are all called to be a citizens of Yisra’el, one faith, grafted in with the native-born Israelites worshipping YAHWEH in spirit and truth, through His son YESHUA and keeping the commandments of the Torah.
YESHUA answers prayers
We already know that no human being can answer prayers, but only ELOHIM can, so look at the words of YESHUA in the gospel of John.
John 14:13-14
“And whatever you ask in My Name, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in the Son. If you ask whatever in My Name, I shall do it.”
This is the reason why we close our prayers saying in YESHUA’s Name, because He goes to the Father and the Father is esteemed through the Son. This is truly beautiful and no human can do this.
YESHUA is ELOHIM
John 20:27-28
“Then He (YESHUA) said to Thomas, “Bring your finger here, and see My hands. And bring your hands and put it into My side-and do not be unbelieving, but believing.” And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Master and My ELOHIM!”
Notice that YESHUA did not rebuke Thomas for what He said, but rather commended Him for it? Then He says blessed are those who believe and have not seen. Thomas got to see YESHUA as ELOHIM in flesh and believed, how much more for those who did not see this first hand?
Now let us look at examples of how no one has ever seen The Father!
Genesis 32:24-30
“And Jacob was left alone. And a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. And when He saw that He did not overcome him, He touched the socket of Jacob’s hip. And the socket of Jacob’s hip was dislocated and he wrestled with Him. And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I am not letting You go until You have blessed me!” So He asked him. “What is your name? And he said, Jacob.” And He said, “Your name is no longer called Jacob, but Yisra’el, because you have striven with ELOHIM and with men, and have overcome. And Jacob asked Him, saying, “Please let me know Your Name.” And He said, “Why do you ask about My Name? And He blessed him there.” And Jacob called the name of the Place Peni’el, “For I have seen ELOHIM FACE TO FACE, AND MY LIFE IS PRESERVED.”
Exodus 33:17-23
“And YAHWEH said to Moses, “Even this word you have spoken I shall do, for you have found favor in My eyes, and I know you by name.” Then he said, “Please show me Your esteem.” And He said, “I shall cause all My goodness to pass before you, and I shall proclaim the Name of YAHWEH before you. And I shall favor him whom I favor, and shall have compassion on him whom I have compassion.” But He said, “YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE MY FACE, FOR NO MAN SEES ME AND LIVES.” And YAHWEH said, “See, there is a place with Me! and you shall stand on the rock. And it shall be, while My esteem passes by, that I shall put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand while I pass by. Then I shall take away My hand and you shall see My BACK, but My FACE SHALL NOT BE SEEN.”
Here is clear evidence from YAHWEH The Father that NO MAN can see His face and live! So if no one has ever seen the Father and lived, then who did Jacob see when He saw ELOHIM, but yet lived? This means that Jacob saw YESHUA The Son! So we have to understand this concept before we go on any further because YESHUA and disciple John both agree that this is true.
John 5:37
“And the Father who sent Me, He bore witness of Me. You have neither HEARD HIS VOICE AT ANY TIME, NOR SEEN HIS FORM.”
John 6:46
“Not that ANYONE has seen the Father, except HE (YESHUA) who is from ELOHIM, HE (YESHUA) has seen the Father.”
1 John 4:12
“NO ONE has seen YAHWEH (The Father) AT ANY TIME…”
John 8:56-58 YESHUA says:
“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham? YESHUA said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.”
Exodus 3:14 says:
“And ELOHIM said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.”
If Abraham existed before Moses , then we know it is YESHUA speaking to Moses on the mountain. Let’s examine the burning bush account and compare it to an account with Joshua.
Exodus 3:2-5
“And the Messenger of YAHWEH appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. And he looked and saw the bush burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, “Let me turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.” And YAHWEH saw that he turned aside to see, and ELOHIM called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses! Moses! And he said, “Here I am.” And He said, Do not come near here. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
Joshua 5:13-14 it says:
“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries? And he said “Nay; but as captain of the host of YAHWEH am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship and said unto him, what saith my Master unto his servant?”
Notice Joshua bowed down to the earth and worshiped because Joshua knew that He was talking to a powerful being. It was YESHUA pre-incarnate again who came to deliver a message to Joshua. Joshua also calls this Captain, Adonai (My Master) and Joshua knew that he was just a servant. Then in verse 15, YESHUA tells Joshua the same thing that was told to Moses at the burning bush, Joshua 5:15 says:
“And the captain of YAHWEH’s host said unto Joshua, loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place where you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.”
This is more evidence that YESHUA was here from the very beginning and is ELOHIM the Son!
Muslims say YESHUA is not ELOHIM because there is only one ELOHIM.
And this is true, we do not worship multiple ELOHIM (polytheism) we worship ONE ELOHIM (monotheism), but we must look at the Hebrew to understand the context of what is being said.
John 10:30-33
“I and My Father are ONE (ECHAD).” Again, the Jews picked up stones to stone Him.” Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of these works do you stone Me?” The Jews answered Him, saying, “We do not stone You for a good work, but for BLASPHEMY, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself ELOHIM.”
Deuteronomy 6:4
“Hear, O Yisra’el: YAHWEH our ELOHIM, YAHWEH is ONE (ECHAD)!”
Genesis 2:22-23
“And the rib which YAHWEH ELOHIM had taken from the man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And the man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one is called ‘woman’ because she was taken out of man.” For this cause a man shall leave his dad and mother, and join unto his wife, and they shall become ONE (ECHAD) flesh.”
Most people read this scripture with a Western mindset and automatically assume this a singular form of “one” however, The Holy Scriptures have an “Eastern” mindset that must be applied when reading it. Echad in Hebrew is a “Unity Oneness” or a “Compound Unity”. Compound is defined as a thing that is composed of two or more SEPARATE elements”! So, we know that Adam and Eve did not literally morph into one body and become one person! They were still two separate beings but one flesh through the marriage! Therefore, the same thing applies with our ELOHIM of Yisra’el. There is YAHWEH the Father, YESHUA The Son, and The RUACH HA’KODESH The Holy Spirit. They are three separate Beings yet ONE (ECHAD) ELOHIM! YESHUA knew what He was saying and so did the Pharisees, which is why they picked up stones to stone Him. The Pharisees knew that YESHUA was saying that He is ELOHIM and wanted to kill Him.
Many Muslims say that YESHUA never said that He was the Son of YAHWEH!
Let us examine the gospels as the Quran points to and see if this is true.
Psalms/Zubar in Arabic 2:5-9 (Septuagint)
“Then shall he speak to them in his anger and trouble them in His fury. But I have been made KING by Him on Zion His set-apart mountain, declaring the statute of YAHWEH: YAHWEH said to ME, YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN YOU (Brought into existence by or as if by a parent). Ask of Me and I will give you the goyim (nations) as your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall tend them as a Shepherd; You shall dash them in pieces as a potter’s vessel. “
The scripture is clear evidence that YESHUA is speaking and not YAHWEH!
John 9:35-37
“YESHUA heard that they had cast him out, and when he had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the SON OF ELOHIM? He answered and said, “Who is He, My Master, that I might believe in Him?” And YESHUA said to him, “You have both seen Him and He who speaks with you is He.”
John 3:18
“He who believes in Him is not judged, but he who does not believe is judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of ELOHIM.”
Mathew 14:28-33
“And Peter answered Him and said, “Adonai, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to YESHUA. But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Adonai, save me!” And immediately YESHUA stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “O you of little belief, why did you doubt?” And when they came into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat came and bowed to Him, saying, “Truly You are the SON OF YAHWEH.”
YESHUA is Messiah (al-Masih)
Muslims called YESHUA a prophet, but they also call Him al-Masih which agrees with the Bible. The Quran acknowledges the Torah, The Gospels, and that YESHUA is The Anointed One, The Messiah! Therefore, Muslims are already agreeing that YESHUA is The Savior of the world.
Mathew 16:13-17
“Now when YESHUA came into the parts of Kaisereia Philippos; He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say the Son of Man is? And they said, “Some John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “And you, who do you say I am? And Simon Peter answering, said, “You are the MESSIAH, the SON OF THE LIVING ELOHIM.” YESHUA answering, said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.”
Notice, how YESHUA does not rebuke Peter for saying that He is the Son of YAHWEH? Rather, YESHUA says that Peter is blessed for receiving this revelation because it was given by YAHWEH! We see from scripture that if disciples were ever wrong about something that YESHUA had no problems correcting them:
Mathew 16:22-23
“And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Be kind to Yourself, My Master, this shall not be to You!” But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to Me, for your thoughts are not those of ELOHIM, but those of men.”
John 6:68-69
“Then Simon Peter answered Him, “Adonai, to whom shall we go? You possess words of everlasting life. And we have believed, and we know that You are Ha’Mashiach (al-Masih), The SON OF THE LIVING ELOHIM.”
John 11:27
“She said to Him, “Yes, Adonai, I believe that You are Ha’Mashiach, The SON OF ELOHIM, who has come into the world.”
Ishmael is not the covenant son.
Muslims also believe that Ishmael is the covenant son from Abraham and not Isaac. We have already established that the Quran verifies the truth of the Torah. So, what does the Torah have to say concerning this.
Genesis 17:10-14
“This is My Covenant which you guard between Me and you, AND YOUR SEED AFTER YOU: EVERY MALE CHILD among you is to be circumcised. And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall become a SIGN of the Covenant between Me and you. And a son of eight days (Leviticus 12:3) is circumcised by you, EVERY MALE CHILD IN YOUR GENERATIONS, he who is born in your house or bought with silver from any foreigner who is NOT OF YOUR SEED. He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your silver, has to be circumcised. So shall My Covenant be in your flesh, for an EVERLASTING COVENANT. And an UNCIRCUMCISED male child, who is NOT circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, his life shall be cut off from his people-he has broken My Covenant.” And ELOHIM said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name. And I shall bless her and also give you a son by her. And I shall bless her, and she shall become nations-kings of peoples are to be from her.” And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Is a child born to a man who is a hundred years old? Or is Sarah, who is ninety years old, to bear a child? And Abraham said to ELOHIM, “Oh, let Ishmael live before You!” And ELOHIM said, “No, Sarah your wife is truly bearing a son to you, and you shall call his name Isaac. And I shall establish My Covenant with him for an everlasting Covenant, and with his seed after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. See, I shall bless him, and shall make him bear fruit, and greatly increase him. He is to bring forth twelve princes, and I shall make him a great nation. But My Covenant I establish with ISAAC, who Sarah is to bear to you at this appointed time next year. “And when He had ended speaking with him, ELOHIM went up from Abraham. “And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house and all those bought with his silver, EVERY MALE among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that same day, as ELOHIM told him. And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised that same day. And all the men of his house, born in the house or bought with silver from a FOREIGNER, were circumcised with him.”
Firstly, notice how Abraham pleaded that Ishmael would be the covenant child because of his old age, but YAHWEH said No! He would make Ishmael into 12 Princes, but the promised seed would not be through him. Furthermore, Ishmael cannot be the covenant son when he was circumcised when he was 13 and Isaac was circumcised when he was 8 days old, according the Covenant that YAHWEH cut with Abraham as we saw in Genesis 17:12 and again in:
Leviticus 12:3
“And on the EIGHTH DAY the flesh of his foreskin is circumcised.”
In conclusion:
John 16:8-9
“And having come, He (The Holy Spirit) shall reprove the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment-concerning sin because they do not believe in Me…”
It’s a great sin not to believe in the only begotten Son of YAHWEH and anyone who rejects Him will not have eternal life, so it is my prayer that you will receive Him today. I pray that this article was able to how shed some light on this topic and again, if you still do not believe that YESHUA is The Son of YAHWEH who died for you sins, what is stopping you for praying and crying out to Him right now and asking Him if He is or not? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
May YAHWEH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!
