Is that Sprit of Truth

Who is that
Sprit of truth? And giving glad tiding of a messenger, to come after me, whose name shall be ‘AHMED’. Quran 61:6 GOD sent Messengers after Messengers to the Jews being the chosen people of Him, the reason of this extra attention of God could be the rebellion of Jews, and lack of wisdom for harkening the message of God, as the bible confirms:
Ye have been rebellion against the Lord from the day I (Moses) knew you. Deuteronomy 9:24 Deuteronomy 31:27 The rebellion of Jews went so far that the God’s anger got kindled in the stag and he says:
“They have moved me to the jealousy with that which is not God; they (the Jews) have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I
will move them to
jealousy with those which are not a
people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation” Deuteronomy 32:21 The nation from where Alexandra The Great passed by, Romans passed by, Egyptian passed and the Persian passed by , is the only foolish nation on the face of the earth as described by Thomas Carlyle in his “The Hero as Prophet “He says:
“A poor shepherd people roaming unnoticed in its dessert since the creation on earth” Yes of course he is fingering towards our ARAB brethren. Prophet Moses (AS) was never able to tackle his people nor was Jesus Christ (AS) after Moses (AS). How so ever Jesus tried to make the Jews submissive to GOD and give the wisdom to at least such an extent that they may understand what he try conveying, but he failed and cries:
“And he (Jesus) saith unto them (The Jesus), why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?” Mathew 8:24
“And (Jesus) said unto him (Peter) O those of little faith “ Mathew 14:31
“He (Jesus) said unto them (the disciples) O ye of little faith” Mathew 16:8
“And he (Jesus) said unto them (disciple), where is your faith” Luke 8:25 As we can see that Jesus is not firing his anger to the Jews but rather, to his own disciples. He explained them the things to the level of little children. But again he was failed to change their mental state and thus he said out in frustration:
“And Jesus said, are ye even yet without understanding?” Mathew 15:16 And when Jesus was further disappointed with his people he said:
“O faithless and perverse generation how long shall I be with you, how long shall I bear with you?” Luke 9:41 And Jesus gave them a last warning:
“Therefore I say unto you (Jews) the kingdom of God shall be taken away from you and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof” Mathew 21:43
THE JEWS SUBSTITUTED Finally the time came for the God’s promise to be fulfilled that He will provoke them against a foolish nation and that he will substituted them with people who bring forth the fruits, so Jesus declares Jews unfit for the message and says:
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye can’t bear them now” John 16:12 He says again:
“But the comforter, which is the holy spirt, whom the father will send in my (Jesus) name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, what so ever I have said unto you” John 14:26 Of coarse my Christian brethren will say that Jesus is talking about the Holy Ghost. Well, not at all, because Jesus has linked this Prophesy with a condition, that:
“Nevertheless, I tell u the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away, the Comforter (Holy Spirit) will not come unto you, but if I depart, I will send him unto you” John 16:7 In other words this Holy Spirit can only come after the departure of Jesus Christ; however, the Holy Ghost existed amongst the Jews long before Jesus and even in the time of Jesus Christ, as the bible tells us:
“And Holy Ghost was upon him (Simeon)” Luke 2:26 Please check below mentioned references regarding the existence of Holy Ghost among people in different times: • Luke 1:15 • Luke 1:41 • Luke 1:67 • Luke 3:22 •
SERIES OF PROPHESIES Hence it is obvious that Holy Ghost is not the Comforter and as per God’s prophesy this Comforter shall be from a nation which was supposed to be foolish in history and of coarse Jew never thought themselves foolish and thus they knew that the Comforter will be a non Jew, as Peter reminds the Jews the utterance of Prophet Moses (AS) as in Deuteronomy 18:18
“For Moses(AS) truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you” Act 3:22 Again it is obvious that Prophet Moses (AS) has not prophesized for Jesus (AS) because in that case Peter should have told that the prophesy has already been fulfilled and that Prophet has already come as Jesus, but Peter never said so, because Peter knew that the Comforter had to come later with a complete guidance and knew that this Comforter or Prophet will abide with people forever and will testify Jesus Christ as the Bible claims:
“And he (God) shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you forever” John 14:16
“Hereby know ye the Spirit of God (Comforter), Spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God” 1 John 4:2 In other words Jesus told his disciples that this Comforter will confess Jesus of being a man (with flesh) and a prophet. Hence my brethren, all these facts lead us to an Arab (foolish nation) and a great fiery heart, seething, simmering like a great furnace of thoughts (Says Thomas Carlayle on page 88 in his book “Heroes and Hero worship”) Prophet Mohammad PBUH because he is the only Prophet after Jesus Christ who testified Jesus, as the Quran says:
“Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah.” Quran 3:45
The Christians should really account for honour paid to Marry and Jesus Christ in Quran as shown in the Quranic verse above, why would an Arab will go out of his way and pay such an honour to Jesus and his mother, while leaving his own wife and daughters in his “own written” book as the Christians say. Quran is for sure a word of God and a divine revelation, on behalf of which Mohammad PBUH made it possible for a thousand million Muslims to believe that Jesus Christ is a word from God and will be in the company of those nearest to God…. I ask my Christian brethren to account for it.
SIX MASCULINE PRONOUNS Jesus puts another test for people to identify that prophet:
“Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you in to all truth! For He shall not speak from himself but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak” John 16:13 When we use the word Holy Ghost it gives a certain mental picture that a character like Aladin Jinnie or Casper which comes like smoke from a key hole and takes the shape sort of a man. However, we can see that Jesus Christ has used six masculine pronouns to tell his disciples that this Spirit of God will not a ghost or a spook, rather he will be A man… A man… A man…. Jesus repeats this six times. The Quran testifies that Prophet Mohammad PBUH never talked on his own rather every thing he pronounced was from Allah (God) as prophesized by Jesus in John 16:13:
“Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire. It is no less than inspiration sent down to him: He was taught by one Mighty in Power,” Quran 53:3-5 While all these things mentioned in the “Series of prophecies” the above topic, Mohammad (PBUH) did not know that he is actually fulfilling the prophecies of Moses and Jesus CAS, and there are many more prophecies which Mohammad (PBUH) fulfilled like 1. He shall guide unto all truth. (John 16:13). 2. He shall glorify Jesus (John 16:13).
3. He shall be unlettered prophet. (Isaiah 29-12)
Hence most pre-eminently Mohammad (PBUH) is that prophet whom Prophet Jesus had promised for. Jesus prayed:
“And I will pray the father and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you for ever” John 14:16 God warns people to follow that Spirit of Truth compulsorily: He says,
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. Deuteronomy 18:19
Now take your choice Follow Mohammad PBUH and his preaching and get salvation or follow any other God of Prophet and acquire the REVENGE OF GOD.
