Christian missionary have the habit of quoting many statements from Jewish Bible to prove that Jesus was prophesized by the earlier Isra�elite prophets. However, a close scrutiny will show that those statements were merely the records of various events, which happened in the past. Jesus (as) is not mentioned by name, even once, in Jewish Bible � though the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has been mentioned in �Songs of Solomon�; as �Shiloh�; the �Son-of--Man�. And King David called him �My Lord�.

 

For example, in Isaiah 9:6-7

 

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulders; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace�

 

According to Jews and Christians this referred to the child that Isaiah fathered, while two his friends watching (sic); and is the third of three prophecies related to this child:

 

1.Chapter 7 of Isaiah tells King Ahaz not to worry about the King of Syria invading his country.

 

2.He offers sign to reassure King Ahaz that he should not fear rival king. The sign he offers is a child about to be born and his name would be called Immanuel.

 

3.In Chapter 9, he says of this same child that the government would be on his shoulder; his name shall be called Wonderful���

 

Prophecy 1 is proven false by 2 chronicles: 28, which details how the King of Syria did invade and defeated Ahaz and slew 120,000 Jews.

 

Prophecy 2 is also proven false by the child not being named Immanuel; he was named Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (Isaiah 3:3). Furthermore, Joseph and Mary did not name their baby Immanuel either.

 

Prophecy 3 is also false. It never happened � unless it refers to al-Mahadi; but then his name is supposed to be Muhammad Ahmed.

 

That�s why Dr. Robert Funk said that 80% Biblical narrations are not �divine�, but later-day corruption.

No time to waste. Act now!
Tomorrow it will be too late
What You Don�t Know Can Kill You
