Today God willing a step
will be taken to clarify this important but controversial topic the death of
Jesus, based on the Quran the Final Testament and supporting it with any new
information we find around this area.
The following verses
from the Quran confirm Jesus's death;
4
155 (They
incurred condemnation) for violating their covenant rejecting GOD's revelations
killing the prophets unjustly and for saying "Our minds are made up!" In fact
GOD is the One who sealed their minds due to their disbelief and this is why
they fail to believe except rarely.
*(4:155-156)
missing words “They incurred condemnation” or Alatay Takabad Taha Idanah their
respective gv’s are 441, 426, 409 & 461, “And they are condemned” or Wa Adan
Aniha their respective gv’s are 6, 61 & 60. 441 426 409 461 6 61 60 4 155 156 =
23232968919034821271324 x 19 the temporal connection suggests that this verse
applies to today and indeed it is because of what (4:157) is implying.
**Al-Muzzammil
4
156 (And they are
condemned) for disbelieving and uttering about Mary a gross lie.
4
157 And for
claiming that they killed the Messiah Jesus son of Mary the messenger of GOD. In
fact they never killed him they never crucified him - they were made to think
that they did. All factions who are disputing in this matter are full of doubt
concerning this issue. They possess no knowledge; they only conjecture. For
certain they never killed him.
4 158 Instead GOD raised him to Him (he died of natural causes); GOD is Almighty Most Wise.
*the
interpreted words “he died of natural causes” in Arabic stands for “'annah
tuuffi li'asbab tabieia” its respective geometric values are; 56, 496, 30, 66
and 506; when we concatenate these geometric values with verses (4:157-158) we
get complete multiple of 19; confirming the fact that Jesus indeed died of
natural causes and that he was not crucified;
157 158 506 66 30 496 56 =
8271500350 686824 x 19. **Al-Muzzammil
4
159 Everyone
among the people of the scripture was required to believe in him before his
death. On the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them.
In fact it
is clear from the tone of these verses that God is not very happy about what has
been said about Jesus's death and that He is categorically clarifying this issue
once for all, that Jesus was not crucified, or even killed by the disbelievers.
At this
juncture it is required to look at (4:157) closely and to isolate the translated
words, "killed" and "crucified" and expose their inner meaning.
The word
"killed" in English dictionary means; cause the death. The question might arise,
what meaning does this word hold in the Quran, are there more than one type of
"killing", one for the prophet or a messenger and other for a lay man; in fact
Quran uses the same word "kill" for both category of people as described in the
following verses;
[3:144]
Muhammad was no more than a messenger like the messengers before him.
Should he die or get killed, would you turn back on your heels? Anyone who turns
back on his heels, does not hurt GOD in the least. GOD rewards those who are
appreciative.
[3:156]
O you who believe, do not be like those who disbelieved and said of their
kinsmen who travelled or mobilized for war, "Had they stayed with us, they would
not have died or gotten killed." GOD renders this a source of grief in their
hearts. GOD controls life and death. GOD is Seer of everything you do.
However, there is another dimension to
killing in the Quran and is the death of the soul. Quran is clear on the fact
that for the believers the soul does not die, but at the time of death it enters
Paradise, while the soul of the disbeliever dies, and is than resurrected on the
Day of Judgement. So going further it would be interesting to know, if believers
departing of soul is different in more ways than we would know. For example Dr
Rashad Khalifa thought that for the believers the soul can leave the body before
one dies. Therefore he was suggesting that Jesus's soul was raised before the
disbelievers killed him. Is there any truth in this, this could be explained by
looking at the Quran, and finding out if the soul only departs at the time of
death;
(6:93) ..If only you
could see the transgressors at the time of death! The angels extend their hands
to them saying "Let go of your souls..
79 1
The (angels who) snatch (the souls of the disbelievers) forcibly.
79 2 And those who gently take (the souls
of the believers) joyfully.
Thus it is clear from the above two verses that soul only departs the body at the time of death; therefore the "killing" mentioned in (4:157) has no other meaning than death and departing of the soul; therefore it is important for the reader to take the word "killed" in (4:157) literally. Therefore by virtue of this fact, both words "Killed" and "Crucified" could only be taken as in the literal sense. This fact categorically implies that Jesus was never killed or crucified.
Going back
to another point in (4:157) which is the question of what this phrase means; ..
"they were made to think that they did".. This phrase has a allegorical meaning
and has to do with misinterpretation of the New Testament, and Nicaean creed
when the church was developed and the whole issue of Trinity came into
existence. God controls all issues and He exposes the true intentions of the
disbelievers by testing them. Thus with God's consent, the Christians today
believe that Jesus died on the cross as a salvation for humanity. This indeed is
a big test, to distinguish between true believers who reject Trinity and the
disbelievers who accepts Trinity.
The nineteen
base codes confirm the fact that (4:157-158) are allegorical verses. Allegory in
the Quran is addressed in (2:26-27) which when concatenated with (4:157-158) is
a complete multiple of nineteen;
[2:26] GOD does not shy
away from citing any kind of allegory, from the tiny mosquito and greater. As
for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord. As for
those who disbelieve, they say, "What did GOD mean by such an allegory?" He
misleads many thereby, and guides many thereby. But He never misleads thereby
except the wicked,
[2:27] who violate GOD's
covenant after pledging to uphold it, sever what GOD has commanded to be joined,
and commit evil. These are the losers.
(2:26-27) 26 + 27 = 53
(4:157-158) 157 + 158 =
315
2 53 4 315 = 133385 X 19
The other two phrases in
(4:157) can be explained as follows;
.." All factions who are
disputing in this matter are full of doubt concerning this issue. They possess
no knowledge; they only conjecture. For certain they never killed him. "
Most Christians follow Christianity blindly and they believe without doubt that
Jesus was killed on the cross, but here in this phrase, Quran is talking about
factions which doubt this, so who are those people. These are the people who
research this matter, and you can find them on the web easily the following four
links are those factions;
https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/did-jesus-die-on-cross/
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/biblianazar/esp_biblianazar_20.htm
http://www.bethinking.org/jehovahs-witnesses/did-christ-die-on-a-cross-or-a-stake
And there argument is that Bible does not say that Jesus was killed on the
cross, but that he was killed on the pole. But even this explanation by these
Christians is not totally valid hence the reiteration of;
.."They
possess no knowledge; they only conjecture. For certain they never killed him. "
