? for Christians...WHAT IS THE GOSPEL?

JESUS (S) TELLS US WHO CHRISTIANS IS REALLY FOLLOWING

It is mentioned in Matthew24

�  �And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  ⁵For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many�. Matthew24:4-5

 Did Muhammad (S) come in Jesus (S) name and say I am Christ? No! Did the Angel that spoke to Muhammad (S) claim that he is Jesus (S)? No!

Let us look at Paul encounter:

Acts 9:1-8

�         ¹And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

�         ²And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

�         ³And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

�         ⁴And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

�         ⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

What Jesus (S) said? He said:

�  �For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.�  Matthew24:5    

Note: Paul never met Jesus (S) and he said: �he saw a light� and �heard a voice� and the voice claimed that: �he is Jesus�

  What is most striking is the divine word the voice mentioned:

�         �it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.� Acts 9:1-8 KJV. Is that a word from God or the Devil?

THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND THE DEVIL�S INFILTRATION

 Jesus (S) explained the Devil will also have a message here to deceive the world in his name:

�  �⁵For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.� Matthew24:5   

Matthew13:24-30

Jesus (S) said:

�         24 �Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:�

The �seed� is the �Everlasting Good news� and the �man� it that �male child� who was to rule all people and nations.

�         25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

�         26 �But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

�         27So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

�         28He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

�         29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

�         30Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

 Matthew13:36-44

�         36Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

�         37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

What is the good seed that Jesus (S) sowed? It is the message of the coming of the Kingdom of God (Islam)!

�         38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

�         39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

That happens when Paul had the visit which he claimed that it was Jesus (S) whom he never met nor saw before:

�  �And he (Paul) said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks�And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. Acts 9:1-8   

   What Jesus said?

�  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Matthew24:5.

The Devil has sowed tares (falsehood) among the wheat (truth) 

Then that falsehood later established a foundation at the counsel of Nicaea Council 325 A.D. the new form of Christianity: http://www.islamtomorrow.com/bible/NicaeaCouncil325.htm

Then After the Romans were defeated by the Muslims in 638, the new form of Christianity under Pope Gregory the Great (590-604), he converted the Anglo-Saxon invaders of Great Britain to his new form of Christianity (Pagan Christianity) which later known as the Crusaders  [the seventh king (Empire)] then evolve in the west as the eight king (Modern day Pagan�s Empire) and he will go into eternal damnation: �And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eight, and of the seven, and goeth into perdition� (Rev.17:11).  It was Great Britain and the west the Devil used to sow his tares (children of the wicked one) universally against the children of the Kingdom of God (Those who followed God�s universal message).

�  40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

�  44Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

�Treasure� is Knowledge of the �everlasting Good News� and �field� is the �world�.

Matthew13:45-52

�         45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

�         46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

�         47Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

�         48Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

�         49So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

�         50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

�         51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

�  52THEN SAID HE UNTO THEM, THEREFORE EVERY SCRIBE WHICH IS INSTRUCTED UNTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO A MAN THAT IS AN HOUSEHOLDER, WHICH BRINGETH FORTH OUT OF HIS TREASURE THINGS NEW AND OLD.

 �HIS TREASURE (KNOWLEDGE)� USING THE OLD MESSAGE (O.T. AND N.T.) TO MAKE CLEAR THE NEW MESSAGE (EVERLASTING GOOD NEWS) THE QUR�AN!

�  BEHOLD, THE FORMER THINGS ARE COME TO PASS, AND NEW THINGS DO I DECLARE: BEFORE THEY SPRING FORTH I TELL YOU. (ISAIAH.42:9)

�  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Luke 8:10 

�  And the gospel (Good News of the Kingdom of God) must first be published among all nations. Mark 13:10

�  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's (Good News of the Kingdom of God), the same shall save it. Mark 8:35

�  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel (Good News of the Kingdom of God) to every creature. Mark 16:15 (the coming of the everlasting Good News: The Qur�an)

   Let me sumarise is for you with some comments and quotes Reepecheep.

    When Jesus said, ��Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel every creature. (Mark 16:15)�. He was instructing his desciples to go and inform the world of the coming of Kingdon of God which is the universal message for all mankind and Jinn (spirit being), and that message was brought by an angel (Rev.14:6-7) and given to a man child (Rev.12:5-10) from another nation:

�  Jesus said unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, the stone which the builders reject the same is become the head of the corner: This is the Lord�s doings, and it is marvelous in our eyes. (Matt.21:42) 

  Who rejected Jesus (S)? The Jews! And what will be marvelous in our eyes? It is THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THE FINAL MESSAGE; and the message will bear fruit and be marvelous in our eyes under another nation.

He said:

�  �Therefore say I unto you the kingdom of God shall taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (Matt.21:43).

  The Kingdom of God is the final message (revelation) that yet to come after the demise of Jesus (S) and it would be taken away from the Jews according to Jesus (S) and it would be given to another prophet of another nation.

  That nation is no other than the Ishmaelite, Abraham�s (S) seeds. The God of Abraham promise to bless his son Ishmael and make him a Great nation:

�  And as for Ishmael�Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and multiply him exceedingly�and I will make a GREAT NATION Genesis 17:20 )

   This prophesies fulfilled with the arrival of Muhammad (S) who is a descendant of Abraham (S) true his son Ishmael (S). It is not evident that Muhammad (S) message bear fruit and creates a congregation that is marvelous in our eyes? Sure! Look at Mecca!

Reepicheep, if you are a true follower of the Messiah (S) then he instructed you as followes: ��Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel (The Good News of God�s Kingdom on earth) to every creature.�

Because he said:

�  �And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.� Matt. 24:14

 Think about how important the Kingdom of God was, the Pharisese demanded (ask him) when the Kingdom of God shall come? Jesus explained when he was question:

�  �And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:� ( Lu 17:20)

He tells us how the Kingdom of God will come in Matthew6:31-32:

�  �Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.�

 A grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: The �seed� is the �Everlasting Good news� that mentioned in Rev.14:6-7. It was brought from Heaven by an angel to preach to all mankind.

 The �man� it that �male child� who was to rule all people and nations:

�  And she brought forth a MAN CHILD, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron�, Rev.12:5).

And he brought �Salvation and the Kingdom of God�:

�  �Now comes Salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and power of his Christ�, Rev.12:10)  

�  Jesus (S) said: �Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.� ( Lu 17:21) 

  If the Kingdom of God is within you that would mean, when you hear the message you believe and accepted it with your whole heart! It will be delivered to your heart, it will be withen you, you have to memorise it, store it in you. Coming of the Kingdom of God [the seed (message)] to Muhammad (S):

�  Allah (S) said: �Verily this is a revelation from the Lord of the world: With it came down the spirit of faith and truth (Rooh-ul-Amin).To thy heart.� (Q.26:192-194)

This is what Allah (S) instructed the Prophet to say:

�  �Say, the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel) has brought the revelation from thy Lord in truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a guide, and Glad Tidings to Muslims. (Q.16:102)

�  �Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion (of judgment between right and wrong) to His Servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures.� (Q.25:1)

�  Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and Judgment (Between right and wrong). (Qur�an 2:185 )

�  Without doubt it is (announced) in the reveled books (Torah, Gospel) of former people. (Q.26:196)

�  And this is a book which We have sent down, bringing blessing and conforming (the revelation) which came before it. (Q.6:92)

�  �it is no less than a Message for all creatures (mankind and jinn). (Q.12:104)

�  �so fear Allah and obey me. (Q.3:50)

�  ye People of the Book! Believe in what We have (now) revealed, conforming what was (already) with you� (Q.4:47)

�  None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: knowest thou not Allah hath power over all things?  (Q.2:106) 

   From those, too, who called themselves Christians We did take a Covenant, But they forgot a good part of the message that was sent down: So We stirred up enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the Day of Judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done. (Q.5:14)

�Truth has (now) come, and falsehood perished: for falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish. (Q.17:81)

TRUTHNOWCOME

    Reepicheep, I have keeping abrest of your visiting of this forum and you didnt reply. I am still awaiting a responce. I the mean time I will post a follow up, Inshallah!

  I have established that Jesus (s) preaches the Good News of the comming of God Kingdom which is a message. Now I will establish who will bring this message to establish God�s kingdom on earth.

   If you go to revelation 12 it mentioned of a man child who will bring the kingdom of God which is the universal message which is the Judgment between right and wrond to all nations.

This article is long for the purpos of all thouse who seek the truth.

    The book of  Revelation Chapter12  it deals with the coming of a �man child� who will rule all nations with a rod of iron and at his arrival then �Salvation and the Kingdom of God will come (And she brought forth a MAN CHILD, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron�Now comes Salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God� 12:5-10.) This would be after the demise of Jesus (S).

What makes it so interesting is Allah (S) mentioned that He had sent Muhammad (S) as a universal Messenger:

�  �We have not sent thee but as a universal Messenger to all mankind�but most of mankind know not.� (Qur.34:28).  

   However, Christian�s commentator claimed that this is a prophesy of Jesus (S). In verse 1, 2 and 5 it mentioned:

�  �¹And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; A WOMAN clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: ²And she being with child, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered�⁵And she brought forth a MAN CHILD, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.   (Rev.12:1-5) 

    First we have to find out who this woman is or what she represents? According to some Christian�s Scholars the woman represents the �church� and some says the woman represents the �Jewish�s nation� and the man child is Jesus (S).

   If we look at Rev.12 verse 6 and14; and Rev.11 verse 4 both tied into each other and it reflects the meaning of the �WOMAN� as the Church. It mentioned:

�   And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (Rev.12:6)  

�  �And to the woman were given two wings�that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place where she is nourished for a time, and time, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (Rev.12:14)

�  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, And they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. (Rev.11:3)

�   

�  These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. (Rev.11:4)  

    The evidence that the woman represents the church is that the woman was given �two wings� and fled into the wilderness for 1,260 days where the same period also reflect in Rev.11:4. Those �two wings� are the two witnesses, the two olive trees and two candle stick; and the Candlesticks represent churches: 

�  ��the seven candlestick which thou sawest are seven churches.� Rev. 1:20

So, we can conclude that the �woman� represents the �Church�

  Also if we go to Revelation 19 and read verse 7-9 we would recognized that the woman represents the church. It mentioned:

�  �Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saint.� Rev.19:7-8

   The saints that mentioned in Revelation 19:7-8 are the believers and they came from �her and she� which is referring to the �church� when the church would have well established for the coming of the Messiah. So we can see from that proof the �woman� represents the �Church� and not the Jewish�s nation. Also, woman represents a �great city�:

�  �And the woman which thou saws is that great city�� (Rev.17:18).

 Meaning the Church will be a Great city.

  The reason why some Christian�s commentator says the woman represent the Jewish�s nation is because in many place in the Old Testament they (Jewish nation) were address as a woman; but that is because the �church� was with them.
