Mary - revered by both Christians and Muslims as the vessel through whom God made the word, Jesus Christ, incarnate







'Isa al-Maseeh (PBUH),

Jesus Christ, the word by whom all has been created by God.

From the Holy Qur'an Surah and verse.

036.081 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yea, indeed! for He is the Creator Supreme, of skill and knowledge (infinite)!
(See also:
016.040 For to anything which We have willed, We but say the word, "Be", and it is.)


007.054 Your Guardian-Lord is God, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then He established Himself on the Throne (of authority): He draweth the night as a veil o'er the day, each seeking the other in rapid succession: He created the sun, the moon, and the stars, (all) governed by laws under His command. Is it not His to create and to govern? Blessed be God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!


This proclaims the pre-existence of the word of God

056.077 That this is indeed a Qur'an Most Honourable,
056.078 In Book well-guarded,
056.079 Which none shall touch but those who are clean:
056.080 A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

085.021 Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an,
085.022 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved



043.003 We have made it a Qur'an in Arabic, that ye may be able to understand (and learn wisdom).
043.004 And verily, it is in the Mother of the Book, in Our Presence, high (in dignity), full of wisdom.
(The above here from the Holy Qur'an 043.003 and 043.004, is the Holy Spirit as wisdom of God , refered to as her in Christendom and is the Holy Spirit by whom the word of God was made incarnate by Mary whom she gave birth to, Jesus Christ, without human begetting and without God begetting as humans do. See next verse, below.)

019.035 It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.

See:
Luke:1:
26... the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David: and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
Gabriel is relaying to Mary what God's command is. Gabriel is not commanding it. God is commanding it to be.

cf. John 1:1-5

¶ In (the) beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and God was the word.
2 The same was in (the) beginning with God.
3 All things through him came to be, and without him came to be not one thing. Which came into being 4 in him was life, and the life was the light of men;
5 ¶ And the light in the darkness shines and the darkness did not grasp it.

'Isa al-Maseeh, Jesus Christ, the word by whom all has been created by God, is by the teaching of God in the Injil (the Gospel) and the Qur'an, the all holy (always sinless - pure [Mary is also sinless by both the Injil and Qur'an]) servant of God to whom God reveals all things and who is the prophet of God which Moses foretold would come (Dt:18:15:15 ¶ The Lord thy God will raise up to thee a PROPHET of thy nation and of thy brethren like unto me: him thou shalt hear.)

019.030 He said: "I am indeed a servant of God: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;
019.031 "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;
019.032 "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;
019.033 "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!
019.034 Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.
019.035 It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.

Incarnation and death and resurrection of 'Isa al-Maseeh,
Jesus Christ, the word by whom all has been created by God. (verse 019.033 from above quoted passage 019.030 to 019.035)


019.033 "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!

Holy Qur'an

Surah 19 - Maryam MARY

019.001 Kaf, Ha, Ya, 'Ain, Sad.

019.002 (This is) a recital of the Mercy of thy Lord to His servant Zakariya.

019.003 Behold! he cried to his Lord in secret,

019.004 Praying: "O my Lord! infirm indeed are my bones, and the hair of my head doth glisten with grey: but never am I unblest, O my Lord, in my prayer to Thee!

019.005 "Now I fear (what) my relatives (and colleagues) (will do) after me: but my wife is barren: so give me an heir as from Thyself,-

019.006 "(One that) will (truly) represent me, and represent the posterity of Jacob; and make him, O my Lord! one with whom Thou art well-pleased!"

019.007 (His prayer was answered): "O Zakariya! We give thee good news of a son: His name shall be Yahya: on none by that name have We conferred distinction before."

019.008 He said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son, when my wife is barren and I have grown quite decrepit from old age?"

019.009 He said: "So (it will be) thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: I did indeed create thee before, when thou hadst been nothing!'"

019.010 (Zakariya) said: "O my Lord! give me a Sign." "Thy Sign," was the answer, "Shall be that thou shalt speak to no man for three nights, although thou art not dumb."

019.011 So Zakariya came out to his people from his chamber: He told them by signs to celebrate God's praises in the morning and in the evening.

019.012 (To his son came the command): "O Yahya! take hold of the Book with might": and We gave him Wisdom even as a youth,

019.013 And pity (for all creatures) as from Us, and purity: He was devout,

019.014 And kind to his parents, and he was not overbearing or rebellious.

019.015 So Peace on him the day he was born, the day that he dies, and the day that he will be raised up to life (again)!

019.016 Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East.

019.017 She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects.

019.018 She said: "I seek refuge from thee to (God) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear God."

019.019 He said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son.

019.020 She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?"

019.021 He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us':It is a matter (so) decreed."

019.022 So she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place.

019.023 And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: She cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!"

019.024 But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree): "Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee;

019.025 "And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee.

019.026 "So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man, say, 'I have vowed a fast to (God) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talk with any human being'"

019.027 At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!

019.028 "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"

019.029 But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"

019.030 He said: "I am indeed a servant of God: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;

019.031 "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;

019.032 "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;

019.033 "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!

019.034 Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.

019.035 It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.

019.036 Verily God is my Lord and your Lord: Him therefore serve ye: this is a Way that is straight.

019.037 But the sects differ among themselves: and woe to the unbelievers because of the (coming) Judgment of a Momentous Day!

019.038 How plainly will they see and hear, the Day that they will appear before Us! but the unjust today are in error manifest!

019.039 But warn them of the Day of Distress, when the matter will be determined: for (behold,) they are negligent and they do not believe!

019.040 It is We Who will inherit the earth, and all beings thereon: to Us will they all be returned.

019.041 (Also) mention in the Book (the story of) Abraham: He was a man of Truth, a prophet.

019.042 Behold, he said to his father: "O my father! why worship that which heareth not and seeth not, and can profit thee nothing?

019.043 "O my father! to me hath come knowledge which hath not reached thee: so follow me: I will guide thee to a way that is even and straight.

019.044 "O my father! serve not Satan: for Satan is a rebel against (God) Most Gracious.

019.045 "O my father! I fear lest a Penalty afflict thee from (God) Most Gracious, so that thou become to Satan a friend."

019.046 (The father) replied: "Dost thou hate my gods, O Abraham? If thou forbear not, I will indeed stone thee: Now get away from me for a good long while!"

019.047 Abraham said: "Peace be on thee: I will pray to my Lord for thy forgiveness: for He is to me Most Gracious.

019.048 "And I will turn away from you (all) and from those whom ye invoke besides God: I will call on my Lord: perhaps, by my prayer to my Lord, I shall be not unblest."

019.049 When he had turned away from them and from those whom they worshipped besides God, We bestowed on him Isaac and Jacob, and each one of them We made a prophet.

019.050 And We bestowed of Our Mercy on them, and We granted them lofty honour on the tongue of truth.

019.051 Also mention in the Book (the story of) Moses: for he was specially chosen, and he was an apostle (and) a prophet.

019.052 And we called him from the right side of Mount (Sinai), and made him draw near to Us, for mystic (converse).

019.053 And, out of Our Mercy, We gave him his brother Aaron, (also) a prophet.

019.054 Also mention in the Book (the story of) Isma'il: He was (strictly) true to what he promised, and he was an apostle (and) a prophet.

019.055 He used to enjoin on his people Prayer and Charity, and he was most acceptable in the sight of his Lord.

019.056 Also mention in the Book the case of Idris: He was a man of truth (and sincerity), (and) a prophet:

019.057 And We raised him to a lofty station.

019.058 Those were some of the prophets on whom God did bestow His Grace,- of the posterity of Adam, and of those who We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Signs of (God) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears.

019.059 But after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face Destruction,-

019.060 Except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness: for these will enter the Garden and will not be wronged in the least,-

019.061 Gardens of Eternity, those which (God) Most Gracious has promised to His servants in the Unseen: for His promise must (necessarily) come to pass.

019.062 They will not there hear any vain discourse, but only salutations of Peace: And they will have therein their sustenance, morning and evening.

019.063 Such is the Garden which We give as an inheritance to those of Our servants who guard against Evil.

019.064 (The angels say:) "We descend not but by command of thy Lord: to Him belongeth what is before us and what is behind us, and what is between: and thy Lord never doth forget,-

019.065 "Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and of all that is between them; so worship Him, and be constant and patient in His worship: knowest thou of any who is worthy of the same Name as He?"

019.066 Man says: "What! When I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive?"

019.067 But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?

019.068 So, by thy Lord, without doubt, We shall gather them together, and (also) the Evil Ones (with them); then shall We bring them forth on their knees round about Hell;

019.069 Then shall We certainly drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion against (God) Most Gracious.

019.070 And certainly We know best those who are most worthy of being burned therein.

019.071 Not one of you but will pass over it: this is, with thy Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished.

019.072 But We shall save those who guarded against evil, and We shall leave the wrong-doers therein, (humbled) to their knees.

019.073 When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, the Unbelievers say to those who believe, "Which of the two sides is best in point of position? Which makes the best show in council?"

019.074 But how many (countless) generations before them have we destroyed, who were even better in equipment and in glitter to the eye?

019.075 Say: "If any men go astray, (God) Most Gracious extends (the rope) to them, until, when they see the warning of God (being fulfilled) - either in punishment or in (the approach of) the Hour,- they will at length realise who is worst in position, and (who) weaker in forces!

019.076 "And God doth advance in guidance those who seek guidance: and the things that endure, Good Deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best in respect of (their) eventual return."

019.077 Hast thou then seen the (sort of) man who rejects Our Signs, yet says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children?"

019.078 Has he penetrated to the Unseen, or has he taken a contract with (God) Most Gracious?

019.079 Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall add and add to his punishment.

019.080 To Us shall return all that he talks of and he shall appear before Us bare and alone.

019.081 And they have taken (for worship) gods other than God, to give them power and glory!

019.082 Instead, they shall reject their worship, and become adversaries against them.

019.083 Seest thou not that We have set the Evil Ones on against the unbelievers, to incite them with fury?

019.084 So make no haste against them, for We but count out to them a (limited) number (of days).

019.085 The day We shall gather the righteous to (God) Most Gracious, like a band presented before a king for honours,

019.086 And We shall drive the sinners to Hell, like thirsty cattle driven down to water,-

019.087 None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from (God) Most Gracious.

019.088 They say: "(God) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"

019.089 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

019.090 As if the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin.

019.091 That they should invoke a son for (God) Most Gracious.

019.092 For it is not consonant with the majesty of (God) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.

019.093 Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (God) Most Gracious as a servant.

019.094 He does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly.

019.095 And everyone of them will come to Him singly on the Day of Judgment.

019.096 On those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, will (God) Most Gracious bestow love.

019.097 So have We made the (Qur'an) easy in thine own tongue, that with it thou mayest give Glad Tidings to the righteous, and warnings to people given to contention.

019.098 But how many (countless) generations before them have We destroyed? Canst thou find a single one of them (now) or hear (so much as) a whisper of them?

The Son of God in the Bible and the Qur'an

Recuerdos de la Alhambra

Recuerdos, that is "memories."

Recuerdos, let it be of the truths of God.

Recuerdos, let it be memories of shared truth. Shared by both Christians and Muslims.



Ave Maria





Recuerdos, let it be of justice.





Los Cristianos no destruyeron la Alhambra. Hubo seguramente los rezos de Christian Mozarabic allí. Los Musulmanes no destruyeron a Hagia Sophia. Esto causa allí a ser el nuevo, 'a la reconquista', los Cristianos de éste tiempo y los Musulmanes, juntos, ello reconquistas el mundo de los Judíos de Sionista infieles.

Catholicism and Islam - shared truth

Allah is from ancient Hebrew Eloah which is a name in the Bible recognized by Catholics as a name of God. Catholics in the Mediterranean whose particular language uses Allah as the name of God have for centuries prayed to God, by the name of Allah.

The Muslims recite this prayer daily a number of times.

"In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate!
Praise be to Allah, who the worlds made,
The Merciful, the Compassionate,
The King of the day of judgment,
Thee do we worship, and of Thee do we ask aid.
Guide us to the path that is straight
The path of those to whom Thy love is great,
Not those on whom is hate,
Nor they that err. Amen.

Catholics recite this one.
(Jesus never said that the Father is a Father in the sense of physically having relations with Mary. That is the pagan god Zeus with Leto. It has nothing to do with the Christian faith. Both Christians and Muslims believe in the virgin birth of Christ.)

Our Father Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Mt:22:37:
37 Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole strength.
38 This is the greatest and the first commandment.
39 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Muslims call Jesus:

"the Messiah Jesus Son of Mary," or "the blessed Son of Mary."

Christians call Jesus:

"Jesus Christ born of Mary" Christ is the Greek for Messiah.

Muslim description of Paradise for the saved after the judgement:

"Joyous on that day shall be the inhabitants of Paradise in their employ;
In shades, on bridal couches reclining, they and their spouses:
Therein shall they have fruits, and whatever they require
Peace! shall be the word on the part of a merciful Lord.
But be ye separated this day, O ye sinners!"

"The sincere servants of God
A stated banquet shall they have
Of fruits; and honored shall they be
In the gardens of delight,
Upon couches face to face.
A cup shall be borne round among them from a fountain,
Limpid, delicious to those who drink;
It shall not oppress the sense, nor shall they therewith be drunken,
And with them are the large-eyed ones with modest refraining glances,
fair like the sheltered egg."

Christian description of Paradise for the saved after the judgement:

Revelation, chapter 22:

The River and Tree of Life

1 ¶ And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. ... Scripture reference - Ezek. 47:1!

2 In the midst of the street thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits every month: the leaves of the tree for the healing of the nations. ... Scripture reference - Ezek. 47:12!

The Throne of God and of the Lamb

3 And there shall be no curse any more: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it. And his servants shall serve him. ... Scripture reference - Zach. 14:1!

4 And they shall see his face: and his name shall be on their foreheads. ... Scripture reference - Ps. 41:3; Mt. 5:8; Rev. 3:12; 14:1

5 And night shall be no more. And they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten then. And they shall reign for ever and ever. ... Scripture reference - Rev. 21:25; 21:23; Isaiah: 60:19!; Rev.20:6; Dan. 7:18


____________________________________________________________________


The following are some verses from the Holy Qur'an, Islam's Holy Book, which according to the teachings of Islam, contain all the Words of God, which were directly recited and dictated to the Prophet Mohammad by the Archangel Gabriel, which affirm that the Christ Jesus, the son of the Virgin Mary, came to this earth in the flesh. No faith other than Christianity, states and affirms that fact.

"And the angels said: O Maryam (Mary), God has chosen you and purified you, and chosen you above all women of creation."
(The Holy Quran 2 : 42)

And:

" The angels said: O Maryam (Mary), God gives you the good tidings of a Word from Him, his name is The Messiah (Christ ) Jesus, The son of Maryam (Mary), held in honor in this world and the hereafter, and of the nearest to God."

(The Holy Quran 3 : 45)

And:

"And She (Mary), who fortified (preserved) her womb, and We breathed into her from Our Spirit, and We made her and her son a beacon to all creation."

(The Holy Quran 21: 91)

And:

" ... And We gave Jesus the Son of Maryam (Mary)
the truths, and We supported him with the Holy Spirit...."

(The Holy Quran 2: 87)

And:

The Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and his ascent to God is also affirmed In the Holy Qur'an as follows:

" And God said: Oh Jesus! I am causing you to die, and lifting you up to Me, and cleansing you of those who blasphemed, and making those who follow you above those who blasphemed, until the Day of Resurrection..."

(The Holy Quran 3:55)

The Religion of Islam came initially to the Arab people, the descendants of Ishmael, the first born son of Prophet Abraham, through the prophet Muhammad (PBUH), during the Seventh Century, A.D., and Islam spread all over the world, until the Muslims are now 1.3 billion in number, including 300 million Arabs. And the Arabs, including the Palestinians, the descendants of Ishamel were directly and unconditionally, blessed by God in the Holy Bible, and described as "Princes":

"As for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation."

(Genesis 17:20)

And

"And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven and said unto her, What aileth thee Hager? Fear not, for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand: for I will make him a great nation."

(Genesis 21:17-18)

THE FACT THAT JESUS CHRIST CAME IN THE FLESH, AND HIS RESURRECTION AND ASCENT TO GOD IS ASSERTED AND RECITED IN THE DAILY PRAYERS OF ALL 1.3 BILLION MUSLIMS IN THEIR HOMES AND IN EVERY MOSQUE IN THE WORLD, INCLUDING THE GRAND MOSQUES OF MEKKAH, MEDINAH, AND JERUSALEM! AND THEY WILL WELCOME HIM WHEN HE RETURNS!

BUT THERE DESCENDED THE AGENTS OF THE ANTICHRIST, DISGUISED AS UNBIASED SCHOLARS, ADVISORS, RESEARCHERS, AND WRITERS, WHO HAVE BEEN HARNESSED BY THE ANTICHRIST TO DESTROY THIS DIVINE TRUTH ABOUT CHRIST BY NAMING HIM AS THE ILLEGITIMATE CHILD OF THE VIRGIN MARY, IN ORDER TO DESTROY CHRISTIANITY ITSELF, AND THUS ISLAM...

AND THE MIDDLE EAST, INCLUDING PALESTINE, THE HOLY LAND, HAS FALLEN TO GREAT TURMOIL, A TURMOIL BROUGHT ON BY THE ADVENT OF THE ANTICHRIST TO THAT HOLY LAND, SINCE GREAT BRITAIN OCCUPIED IT IN 1917, AND INJECTED AND PROTECTED THE ANTICHRIST THERE, A MOVE WHICH WAS AND IS STILL BEING SUPPORTED BY THE WESTERN CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY THE USA, AND THROUGH SOME FUNDEMENTALIST CHRISTIAN CAMP FOLLOWERS WHO, TOGETHER WITH THE ANTICHRIST PREACH AND TEACH THAT THE MUSLIM RELIGION IS EVIL, AND SHOULD BE WIPED OUT BY FORCE. AND THE INFLUENCE AND POWER OF THE ANTICHRIST, ROSE AND CONTINUES TO RISE ALL OVER THE WORLD, UNLESS STOPPED. AND THE CHRISTIAN WEST, IN AMERICA AND EUROPE EVEN GAVE THE ANTICHRIST WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION WHICH THEY STORE IN THE HUNDREDS, IN THE HOLY LAND, READY TO USE AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF GOD.

BUT THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE IN AMERICA AND EUROPE MUST STEP OUT WITHOUT DELAY, OF THE MIASMA OF THE ANTICHRIST, WHICH HAS ENGULFED AND MESMERIZED THEM, AND COME TO CLASP, IN ETERNAL FRIENDSHIP, THE HANDS OF THE ARAB, MUSLIM, AND CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, IN PALESTINE, AND THE OTHER ARAB PEOPLES IN THE MIDDLE EAST, WHO SHARE THE BELIEF THAT CHRIST JESUS WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, AND WAS SUPPORTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND WHO PERFORMED MIRACLES AND RAISED THE DEAD, AND WAS RAISED TO HEAVEN TO GOD, AND WHO SHALL RETURN TO EARTH. AND THE PEOPLE OF ISLAM THERE AND ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD SHALL BECOME THE BULWARK AND THE TRUE DEFENDERS AGAINST THE GROWING POWER OF THE BILLIONS OF IDOL WORSHIPPERS OF THE FAR EAST WHO THREATEN THEM AND THEIR CIVILIZATION, EGGED ON BY THE ANTICHRIST.

IT MUST BE REMEMBERED THAT THE MUSLIM AND ARAB PEOPLES WERE THE ONLY PEOPLES IN THE WORLD WHO RALLIED AND SENT THEIR YOUNG MEN TO FIGHT AND DIE AGAINST THE GODLESS SOVIETS WHEN THEY ATTACKED AND OCCUPIED AFGHANISTAN, AND THESE FREEDOM FIGHTERS OR "JIHADISTS" WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN DRIVING THE SOVIETS OUT, WHICH GREATLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE COLLAPSE OF THAT EVIL EMPIRE. ALL THE WHILE, DURING THAT TIME, PRESIDENT RONALD REAGEN AND ALL THE LEADERS AND PEOPLE OF THE CHRISTIAN WEST, STOOD BY DOING NOTHING OTHER THAN PRAISING TO HIGH HEAVEN "THE MUJAHIDEEN" FOR THEIR EFFORT OR JIHAD AGAINST THE GODLESS SOVIETS......

Micah:2:
1 ¶ Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is against God.
2 And they have coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and houses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I devise an evil against this family: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not walk haughtily, for this is a very evil time.

During the second half of the nineteenth Century, the multitude of the antichrist, calling themselves Zionist Ashkenazim* Jews, came together and their financial and political strength and influence, rose and increased greatly and spread across Europe and America, and they started to conspire to seize Palestine, the Holy Land, the land of Christ Jesus for themselves, and establish there, a headquarters and state, where the mention of Christ, who lived and preached and walked in that Holy Land, would be silenced forever! [according to their plan]

Theodor Herzl, an Austrian Ashkenazim Jewish Zionist journalist, and activist, became the principal spokesman and advocate for the Zionist plot, and he wrote his pamphlet, entitled "THE JEWISH STATE", which he published on February 14, 1896. In it he wrote: "When we sink , we become a revolutionary proletariat , the subordinate officers of all revolutionary parties; and at the same time, when we rise, there rises also our terrible power of the purse." (emphasis added)

Herzl convened the first Zionist Congress, and gathered 204 delegates, at Basle, Switzerland between August 29-31, 1897, and they met in the gambling casino there, and they adopted the resolution stating that the aim of Zionism is to create, for the Jewish people a home in Palestine secured by public law, and in his diary entry, dated September 3, 1897, Herzl wrote: "At Basle, I founded the Jewish state..."

However, at that time, Herzl and every Zionist delegate knew that Palestine, the Holy Land of Christ, was fully inhabited by the Palestinian Arab People, most of whom were the descendants of Abraham, who continued to live in that Holy Land, and who as Moslems and Christians, fervently believed that Christ Jesus, the son of the Virgin Mary, came in the flesh, and will return.

Heb:5:

1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:

2 Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

3 And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

4 Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.

5 So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.

6 As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.

7 Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him thatwas able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.

8 And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered.

9 And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation:

10 ¶ Called by God a high priest, according to the order of Melchisedech.

11 Of whom we have much to say and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear.

12 For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat.

13 For every one that is a partaker of milk is unskilful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.

14 But strong meat is for the perfect: for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.

St. Paul explains this same thing with different wording in Philippians.

Phil:2:
5 For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But
emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
9 For which cause, God also hath exalted him and hath given him a name which is above all names:
10 That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:
11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
(DRV)


This is crucial to our understanding of Christ's mission to save us. In the above "emptied" is kenosis in the Greek. Christ's kenosis (He Who is the Immortal Son of God and has always existed from before He created anything, His emptying out of Himself for us and to us) consists of "taking the form of a servant" at His incarnation of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, "being made in the likeness of men" extremely important -- His incarnation in the flesh, "in habit found as a man" this part explains phrases like "learned obedience". Jesus never had to learn anything for Himself since He is God and Omniscient - All Knowing. But He willed to be born and grow up and be taught by Joseph and Mary. Think about it, it was the Blessed Virgin who taught Him the Psalms that He was the Mediator for David to receive by inspiration of the Holy Spirit and record for us. In simple terms He taught David the Psalms and willed that Mary would teach Him on earth the same psalms, though, of course He knew them already. So all references to His learning and growing and being perfected are only those things that He willed to go through for two basic reasons for our sakes. Number two first: to show us what our attitude and efforts should be on His behalf as His ambassadors to the rest of mankind. He "learned" but is actually teaching us. Number one in importance: "being made in the likeness of men" extremely important -- His incarnation in the flesh. St. Athanasius Contra Mundum (against the world [opposing heresy]) addresses this when he explains that had Christ the Immortal Son of the Father in the Unity and Power of the Holy Spirit simply have erased Adam's sin then the natural debt we all inherited to die from that sin would have meant that all men would die forever and be lost since God doesn't lie and He pronounced that the separation of man from God due to sin would by the natural property of human nature make anything else impossible. In other words if God simply erased the sin He would have erased men as well thereby. Worst yet, St. Athanasius tells us, the devil would thereby have won that round. But what God did, the Son, Who because of His Divine substance/essence - nature cannot die, is to take upon himself the real human nature of all men subsumed from Mary -- and therefore of Adam (see the genealogies in St. Matthew's, Chapter 1, and St. Luke's, Chapter 3, Gospels; in St. Luke's Gospel all the way back to Adam). Since of Adam, then, of all men. Since He had and has that nature in total union with His divine nature, when he suffered and died (it is in this sense that St. Paul says "learned obedience") in our place as the ransom from death then we become sons and daughters by adoption unto real eternal life at the future Return of Christ and the General Resurrection of the flesh, each of us, our bodies reunited with our same soul and same spirit. Therefore death, which insured that God's law would be obeyed, was originally God's way to insure that man would not become a diabolic creature totally in bondage to the devil, incapable of being in union with the Holy God, Himself. Christ took death, merited by all men, upon Himself preserving what God had said to Adam and Eve "upon that day (of disobedience) you will die". Therefore, Christ's death, then becomes the ransom to bring us out of thralldom to the devil and into union with God in Christ. Christ's Resurrection then becomes the guarantor of our resurrection -- which will absolutely happen. This is a brief description of Christ's kenosis. Christ's kenosis is the weightiest subject in the whole Bible. Christ's obedience loosed the debt of Adam's disobedience as Mary's obedience undid the knot of Eve's disobedience (that last is from St. Irenaeus).
A note of warning: those who retie the knot of

Eve's disobedience and who bind themselves again in the debt of Adam's disobedience by becoming part of pagan religions, who profess atheism or agnosticism, who follow after the Antichrist or who walk not in God's commandments though they pretend to be Christ's, will certainly be resurrected, but to eternal undying destruction in the lake of fire with the devil and all the fallen angels and all of the demons. Only the saints will inherit paradise with the elect angels in this universe recreated by God at the second coming of Jesus Christ at the end of this age of grace.
