Let's continue from today's topic above.
In addition, Allah has informed us that the coming of Muhammad was foretold by Jesus, peace be upon him.
Allah says: Jesus the son of Mary said, “O children of Israel, I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is PRAISED and that's the meaning of MUHAMMAD OR AHMAD.” Surah As-Saff 61:6.
The Book of John provides some compelling verses as evidence of the remnants of this prophecy, even though the original Aramaic spoken by Jesus has been lost.
The Book of John states:
This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you THE PROPHET?” And he answered, “No.”John 1:19-21.
In this verse, it is clear that the Jews were expecting the coming of the Messiah (Christ), Elijah (an epithet for John the Baptist), and “the Prophet” mentioned in Deuteronomy. Later in the book of John we find a further description of the coming prophet.
The Book of John states:
I will pray to the Father, and HE will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you. John 14:16-17.
And it states:
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. John 14:26
And it states:
But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me, and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning.
John 15:26-27
And it states:
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment.
John 16:7
Although the Aramaic text has been lost, these verses likely describe the original discourse of Jesus to his disciples and the believers on the coming of the prophet of Deuteronomy.
This prediction is supported by several references in the Gospel of St. John to the Parakletos (usually rendered as “Comforter”) who was to come after Jesus. This designation is almost certainly a corruption of Periklytos (“the Much-Praised”), an exact Greek translation of the Aramaic term or name Mawhamana. It is to be borne in mind that Aramaic was the language used in Palestine at the time of, and for some centuries after, Jesus, and was thus undoubtedly the language in which the original, now lost, texts of the Gospels were composed. In view of the phonetic closeness of Periklytos and Parakletos it is easy to understand how the translator – or, more probably, a later scribe – confused these two expressions. It is significant that both the Aramaic Mawhamana and the Greek Periklytos have the same meaning as the two names of the Last Prophet, Muhammad and Ahmad, both of which are derived from the verb hamida (“he praised”) and the noun hamd (“praise”). Message of the Qur'an 61:6.
There are many of such proofs still remains in the Bible which they arrogantly deny.
May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. AMIN
