The Maqdih's Appearance!
The Reformation of the Great Redeemer is Here!
Oiyes...Oiyes...the Great Redeemer and Maqdih has come!!! May HIS
Mighty and Merciful Name be exaulted! What? Are you mad? How can
the Great Redeemer of the Arabic Peoples be here? And, in America?
How can that be modern Islam? Are the Muslims invoved in this? For
a better understanding, let us look at some brief lessons of history.
ISHMAELITE ORIGINS IN ABRAHAM
Unfortunately, with the passage of time, things tend to get burried
and forgotten under all the dust--and with the shifting of the sands.
So, the diligent must get use to digging. And uncovering what the
past really was.
While there is a lot of debate and differences, one thing that the
Islamic Q'uoran, the Jewish Tanach, and the Christian Bible all agree
on is that Ishmael was Abraham's first born son by Hagar, the Egyptian
slavegirl (Genesis 16:1-16 and I Chronicles 1:28-31). And, here is
where the Family Feud began, for Hagar bore Ishamel (and thus all the
Ishmaelites or Arabic Peoples--Muslims), while Sarah bore Isaac (and
all the Jews), and Keturah bore several sons (which became the Nordic
Peoples and Christians). And, they have been squabbling in sibling
rivalry ever since!
FAITH OF ABRAHAM - MONOTHEISM
Moreover, while there is a lot of Family bickering over what the Name
of God really is--the Jews, Christians, and Muslims all agree that
there is only One True God. And, this concept, they all got from
Abraham, the Hebrew (Genesis 14:13). Consequently, all 3 Branches
of the Hebrew Faith or Hebrew Peoples (Jews, Christians, and Muslims)
of Abraham maintain this common belief even today. Which makes them
very distinct and different from the Pagans and Idolators, who believe
in many gods and spirits (polytheism).
THE PRACTICE OF ABRAHAM - BLOOD SACRIFICE
The record of the Holy Scriptures show that Our fore-fathers or
ancestors (in Abraham) held to the practice of animal sacrifice. This
was apparently begun by Abel (Genesis 4:3-7), continued by Noah
(Genesis 8:20-22), upheld by Abraham (Genesis 15:9), and eventually
codified into an elaborate system by Moses. So, why don't any of the
Hebrew Peoples (Jews, Christians, Muslims) practice animal sacrifice
today? What happened?
THE BONDAGE OF MANKIND
The Holy Scriptures teach us that, in the beginning, God created Man
as an immortal, supernatural being, and, in a manner, something like
God Himself (Genesis 1:26-27). But, as the Woman said: "The Serpant
(the Devil) beguiled (tricked) me, and I did eat!" (Genesis 3:13).
Consequently, Man died spiritually and lost his immortality, becoming
a mere Natural, mortal human. For it is written: "For since by a man
(Adam) came death (mortallity)...For as in Adam all (now) die..."
(I Corinthians 15:21-22). Thus, through Adam, the Power of Sin has a
hold on Man, dragging him down to degredation and destruction. Can't
we do anything about this? Is there no cure or remedy?
THE HUMAN COVER-UP--RELIGIOUS MAKE-UP
Unfortunately, too many people ignore this inherited spiritual sickness.
(They seem to think that they will just get better--not realizing that
the poison of Sin will continue to tear them down, until they are
dead.) Still others try to cover up their destructive disease--thus
many religions have been formed in the world, to make people look good.
However, it says: "But, we are ALL as an unclean thing; All our
righteousness is as filthy rags!" (Isaiah 64:6). Or, even worse:
"There is a Way (religion) that seems right to a man, but the end
(results) thereof are the way to death!" (Proverbs 16:25) And, such
has been the Path of Pagans, and those who pursue Idolatry!
THE TEMPORARY JEWISH TREATMENT
God demands justice and payment for our Sins! So, someone or something
has to make atonement--make the payment for Sin. Moreover, from Holy
Scripture, we also know that only BLOOD is able to make a temporary
atonement or cleansing from Sin (Leviticus 17:11 and Hebrews 9:22),
for this was the Faith and understanding of Abel (Genesis 4:3-7), and
the Faith that was practiced by Abraham and his descendants (Genesis
15:9-10). And, because of this temporary treatment, the Jews obtained
God's favor. And, HE chose them for a special mission of HIS--the
coming of the Messiah or Christ (and HIS permenant sacrifice).
ISA al-MASSIH AND THE PERMENANT SACRIFICE
In the Days of the Ancient Roman, the Jewish Messiah or Christ
appeared! And, John the Baptizer had this to say of the HIM: "Behold,
the Lamb of God, which takes away (pays for) the Sins of the World!"
(John 1:29) Thus, the Messiah or Christ was designated by God to be
the Passover Lamb for the Hebrew Peoples--ALL of God's People. And,
HIS suffering became the Passover Blood that made a PERMENANT Atonement
or payment of the Sins of those who will believe on HIM. Thus, none
of the Hebrew Peoples who believe in the Christ need to make animal
sacrifices (as Abraham did) any more! (Their Great Redeemer has come!)
For, Isse or Isa al-Massih (the Great Redeemer) is recorded as
saying of HIMSELF: "I am the Way (to God), the Truth, and the
(eternal) Life! No man can come to the Father, but by ME!" (John 14:6)
And, of HIM, it is written: "But God commends (demonstrates) HIS Love
toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Messiah died (on the
Tree of Life or Cross) for us (paying our sins)...For...we were
reconcilled (restored--healed) to God by the death of HIS Son..."
(Romans 5:8, 10). For the Holy Scriptures teach us: "But, as many as
receive HIM (Christ), to them gives HE power to become the Sons-of-God
(immortals); Even to them who Believe on HIS Name (Savior)!" (John
1:12)
And, this is the Great Redeemer that the Abrabic Peoples or Muslims
have waited for so long! How come? Well, as history progressed, and
Islam spread (and encountered rivalries with Jews and Christians), the
Hebrew Unity (and Abrahamic origins) became obscured in the sands of
time. And Jesus or Isse as the Great Redeemer or Maqdih became
forgotten (or even deliberately hidden), so that the spiritual concepts
of the al-Massih or The Christ have been greatly mis-understood by the
Ishmaelites (Muslims and Arabs) the world over. Now, in the modern age
of information and the rise of education (and the Intelligensia or
Educated Class) in the Arabic and Muslim countries, it is time that
this ignorance come to an end. And the Arabic Peoples see their
Great Redeemer for who HE is!
Let them now RETURN to God as HIS Children, through Abraham!
ISSE AND BECOMING GOD'S CHILD
All right, let me spare you all of the heavy theology (though a more
detailed article will follow this, if you are curious). For becoming
God's child is basically real simple. Just repeat the following
Covenant Prayer out loud (so God will know that you agree to it,
personally):
- Father God, I confess to YOU that I am a sinner and have
done wrongs in YOUR Sight.
- But, I plead with YOU to forgive me of my sins, because of
YOUR Son, Isse (Our Great Redeemer), who died on the Tree of Life
(or Cross), shedding HIS Blood to pay for my sins--as my death by
proxy.
- I now renouce HaSatan (the Devil), his followers, and all of
their wicked ways and command them, in Name of Isa al-Massih (Jesus
the Christ), to be gone from my life!
- Instead, Heavenly Father, send YOUR precious Ru'ach HaKodesh
(the Holy Ghost) into my heart and life--to lead me and guide me
in following the Ways that are pleasing to YOU.
Yes, that is all there is to it! If you have said this Covenant Prayer,
then you are now reborn. Or as some say, saved. You have become a
Child of God!!!
THE BEGINNING...
No, this is not the end, it is just a beginning. Like any new born
babe, you have a lot of growing and learning to do! And, to find out
a lot more about your New Parent--GOD. For you are not just chosen,
like a servant or slave. You have become part of HIS Family! You are
not just a friend of God. Now you are HIS Family. So, turn to the
next lesson, and take you next step in Spiritual Growth.
