AP,

What would be your comment on this and how would you explain this:

Ya ayyuhallazeena dhallu, qad dallu katheeram minkum min qablo, wa antum shuhdaao alalkufre wal-kazib, taqaloona iftaraa, selasa.Wal maseeh ibne maryama ma laa taqala mithle maa taqaloo.

BMZ

Important Note to All Muslims: Please stay out of this particular post of mine and do not comment! But if you can't resist then have a go.

Anyway, what is your point?

 

The Koran is composed of more than 50% Biblical Book of Revelation material.

Thus, the relevance of this is absolutely monumental.

The reason that you are not impressed with this is due to the fact that you are ignorant of where your book of faith emanated from.

Ignorance is bliss�apparently�

You can�t be bothered with studying the ancient languages, thus, once again, you can only fall back upon your opinion, as that is all that you have�

Enjoy�

Rev 9.17  And so I saw in the vision the horses, and those sitting on them, having fire-colored breastplates, even dusky red and brimstone-like; and the heads of the horses as heads of lions; and out of their mouths come fire and smoke and brimstone.

Summary of 100.1:

 

  • Revelation details the vision of John, in which he describes the attributes of the demonic locusts
  • John begins by describing images of the �hippos�, or horses, as being prepared for �polemos�, or warfare
  • Observe that the initial description is given only to the demonic locusts themselves � it is only later, after they have gone out into the world, that they have picked up �kathemai�, or their riders
  • 100.1 describes the demonic locusts after they have picked-up their riders
  • 100.1 begins with �waal� which can be taken as a swearing by a thing
  • The juxtaposed �al� informs us that �it is also used to indicate something which has already been mentioned or a concept of which is in the mind of the writer or reader�
  • Hence the material in this sura is not only very important, but it relates to something that is already known
  • 100.1 elaborates on what is already known, by affixing the word �adiyati�, which tells us of the same warring horse images, and their riders, described by �the horsemen, that charge or assault, in a hostile, or predatory, incursion, especially; or horses making a hostile, or predatory, incursion�
  • The root �ada� informs us that this is an evil thing related to the devil
  • Revelation describes the horses, and those riding on them, as having iron breastplates
  • The breastplates are described as being �purinos�, or fire � colored
  • The color and description is detailed as being �huakinthinos�, or a red color bordering on black; and �theiodes�, or brimstone and sulphurous
  • Likewise, 100.1 informs us via the verbal noun �dabhan�, that �fire has taken effect so as to alter its color; blackening due to fire, changing color�
  • Further, the root �dzabaha� describes this as applying to horses. 
  • �Dzabaha� also tells us that �The fire, and the sun, altered it; or altered its color�; and special note as to the location �he burned it in a portion of its upper parts� �referring to the breastplates as mentioned in Revelation
  • It is quite clear that sura 100 is referring to the Demonic Locusts as described in Revelation chapter 9
