Ibrahim says: Old man , thank you for your perceptions, but let me remind you the key words on that passage I quoted and let me remind you that scriptures are not stories or best sellers where you will find the author , writing things in an order that we are used to reading. As such prophesies can appear in any passage within a chapter which is talking about different issues.
W focus your attention on.
-
God is talking about the end, not in-between but the end because he has revealed it from the beginning
-
The references here and most important of all is the Fulfillment of God’s ** purpose,** which again is about the end, ** where a MAN, not a Christ, but a man . who will full fill God’s purpose**
-
If you claim this was Cyrus the Christ than you have denied Christ Iesus, , if you say he ( a man) was Christ you have denied your own belief that he is God, son of God, so either way you lose.
Let me tell you who is Cyrus
45: 1. "This is what the LORD says to his ** anointed, to Cyrus,** whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
45: 13. ** I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free,** but not for a price or reward, says the LORD Almighty."
But 46:9 is actually cross referenced to
Deuteronomy 32:7 Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you.
Ibrahim says: hence it was with regards to what will be the end and not with regards to Cyrus the Christ. , which was not the end of prophesy or the world.
Since Jerusalem nor the temple lasedt as it should have, according to this prophesy there was NO fulfillment . In fact when Christ said he will send another comforter, it was that comforter who will fulfill not Cyrus nor Christ.
Ibrahim says : **Exactly this is with regards Cyrus the Christ, who was prophesied by Jeremiah and not the prophesy given by Isaiah in 46:9.
Kindly read.
2 Chronicles 36:22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD ** spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah ** might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
this is cross referenced to :-
Isaiah 44:28 who says of Cyrus, `** He is my shepherd and will accomplish all that I please; he will say of Jerusalem, “Let it be rebuilt,” and of the temple, “Let its foundations be laid.” '**
Ibrahim says: and this was fulfilled at the time of Ezra
Ezra 6: 14. So the elders of the Jews continued to build and prosper under the preaching of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah, a descendant of Iddo. ** They finished building the temple according to the command of the God of Israel and the decrees of Cyrus, Darius and Artaxerxes, kings of Persia. **
- ** The temple was completed ** on the third day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of** King Darius.**
Ezra 1: 1. ** In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah,** the LORD moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and to put it in writing:
BTW In the year 1971, ** Iran celebrated the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of the monarchy by Cyrus.**
Ibrahim says which may be for you, but that is not what the Bible says, since Cyrus the Christ , was already mentioned in Isaiah 44:28 and which Jeremiah expanded on in 25:8. But nor doubt cyrus became great ** but Never accomplished building the temple or accomplished the end of purpose as mentioned in 46:9
Ibrahim says : Old man none of the books of Moses were written by Moses because Moses wrote in the Bible. he knew where he was buried, ** which is absurd, so all you read were written by others not Moses. **
Kindly read:-
-
And Moses the servant of the LORD ** died there in Moab, as the LORD had said. **
-
** He buried him in Moab,** in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is.
-
Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone.
Ibrahim says : thus you seem to be having erroneous views, unless of course you believe Moses remembered to write this before he died .
Second kindly read:-
Deuteronomy 33
- ** This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced on the Israelites before his death.**
Ibrahim says which means it was with regards to what will come to pass in the future .
Try harder old man, you might be able to swallow the ten thousand saints too

Ibrahim says: which is not an Issue, because what you are reading is an English translation a word which has been corrupted. Second you are twisting old man, because as I wrote earlier each of those appearances is which regards to establishing laws/guidance for mankind.
This is a FACT, but for Christians they are capable of denying anything, it seems.
’
Ibrahim says: So tell us who wrote Habakkuk?
BTW, can you tell us, if any other religions ways have been everlasting as that of what Muslims do?
Ibrahim says kindly read in Hebrew and se why you have been deceived by erroneous translations
– Romanized Hebrew
Habakkuk 3:3 ** ‘Elowha** miteeymaan yaabow’ ** wqaadowsh** meehar-paa’raan celaah kicaah shaamayim howdow uuthilaatow maal’aah haa’aarets.
Ibrahim says : the words is Elowha, which is pronounced as Alowha = Allah, not Christ not Cyrus not God or any other but Allah.
Refer to Strong 6918
ROMANIZED- qadowsh
PHONETIC-kaw-doshe’
or qadosh {kaw-doshe’}; from 6942; ** sacred** (ceremonially or morally); (as noun) God (by eminence), an angel, a saint, a sanctuary: --** holy (One), saint.**
Ibrahim says: So again you fail , old man
Ibrahim says : which means even your ‘Holy Bible: and your popes and saints are also false, don’t you think so? You said it not me!
Ibrahim says that would be absurd, since Christ NEVER had any government under him, and he was never called wonderful counselor ( which when translated to Arabic will be Muhammad) and nei5ther was he prince of peace ( Islam) and as I said earlier Mighty God and everlasting Father, cannot be born and is not a human being , but an addition in this verse due to the corruption of the bible. .
Ibrahim says : Old man what lineage due you think all the Prophets were from? Read the Gospel and look up the chronology of Abraham.
Ibrahim says: ** exactly! two chapters earlier it was with regards to a virgin birth and he will be called Immanuel ** but here it is with regards to normal child who will be called wonderful counselor.
Ibrahim says : you seem STUCK, on the word God, which has been translated from so many different words as appearing in the Hebrew manuscripts ** and for sure the word God was NEVER used by the Prophets, ever,** so don’t blame me for your misconceptions due to the Bible being mistranslated in English.
Second kindly read
Matthew 10: 34. Jesus said: "Do not suppose that I have come to bring ** peace ** to the earth.** I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.**
Thus Christ denies that he is prince of peace but Mohamed (pbuh) was the Prince of Islam ( Peace) . Thus Isaiah 9:6 is about Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) and not about Christ. (pbuh) Sorry.
Ibrahim says: Old man do you ever wonder who are Ephraim’s drunkards?
Why Ephraim is being mentioned here in Isaiah ? Let me tell you, because this refers to the state of the pagans (currently hindus) and Arabs, who have erred and have become idol worshippers and drunkards in the House that Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) built in Mecca .
Hence the Prophet who will be sent to them , will guide them as written in Isaiah 28:10, which is how the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) guided the Arabs.
Now read
Isaiah 28: 5. ** In that day** the LORD Almighty will be a glorious crown, a beautiful wreath ** for the remnant of his people. **
- ** He will be a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,** a source of strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
Ibrahim says : thus this is with regards to the Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) and those saved in Arabia and not about the Israelites.
Ibrahim says; Hello, another and strange are two different things, so please use your head, not blind faith! But that was not the tongue of the Israelites, get it? It was meant for the Arabs and now the Jews had to follow that language ( another tongue) and not what was given to them.
Ibrahim says: Don’t be silly, the kingdom of God will be given to another nation ( meaning a nation that will submit to God) , not the Israelites anymore, since they had erred and tried to kill the Christ. Not the gentiles since they had not been circumcised nor submitted to God but some followed Paul thinking they are following Christ erroneously .
Ibrahim says: sorry, another silly point, since Christ was NEVER like Moses ** and what was written in Deuteronomy is what God said to Moses not what Moses said to others as claimed in acts, that is why you have been misled.
BTW ** so when it suits you Christ is a prophet, when it suits you Christ is a the son of God and when it suits you Christ is God, is it not? **
Ibrahim says: Go and read what was foretold to Moses (pbuh) by God, not what Peter said as recorded by an anonymous author and not a part of the Gospel.
Ibrahim says : Old man, THINK! this is not with regards to verse Duet 18:18, but the general way the Jew had always behaved, they were a racist people who never seized to persecute anything that was not to their liking and they tried to kill Christ
BTW since you are so fond of acts, why did you not accept the fact that in acts the apostles claims they hanged Christ on a tree, whereas the Gospels says they nailed him on a cross. Which is which?
Ibrahim say sorry read duet 18:18 and compare with acts 7:37 and acts 3:13 and note the difference. If indeed you want to be honest with yourself.
Ibrahim says: that would be your error, since Christ spoke in parables and you have yet to realize that another counselor cannot be Christ and cannot be spirit but another human being
Yes none will know him, because he will be sent 600 years later and yes the Qur’an will be with us forever which came with the spirit if truth, as already quoted by me earlier.
Ibrahim says : Don’t be naïve, where did the Holy spirit come into this verse, the Spirit of Truth and the Holy Spirit are two different spirits. Your problem is your confusion in not being able to identify who is the Holy spirit. The Holy spirit is the title of angel Gabriel ,which Christians have misconstrued as being part of God (trinity )
Ibrahim says which means you don’t know the bible too well and you have just followed blindly
So read.
Isaiah 44:28. who says of Cyrus, ** `He is my shepherd ** and will accomplish all that I please; he will say of Jerusalem, “Let it be rebuilt,” and of the temple, “Let its foundations be laid.” ’
Isaiah 45 : 1. "This is what the LORD says to his ** anointed, ** to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
Strong 4899
ROMANIZED-mashiyach
PHONETIC-maw-shee’-akh
from 4886; anointed; usually a consecrated person (as a king, priest, or saint); specifically, ** the Messiah: --anointed, Messiah.**
Ibrahim says hence , I am afraid, you have yet to understand what you are reading.
Hope you will do better next time.
Regards
Ibrahim
