Shining God’s Light on the Koran

Sam continues his on-going series which contrasts the Judeo-Christian Bible with the Islamic Koran on a variety of topics. He aims the beam of the Biblical laser on the Koran to expose, to reveal what it really says. See his previous articles here.

God Speaks and it is Done

According to the Koran all the god of Islam needs to do is speak and what ever he says comes into being. He had the angels worship Adam by prostrating themselves before Adam upon his creation. This knowledge will help deceive the Muslims into following the Antichrist when the time comes for him to be revealed to the world.

THE KORANIC ACCOUNT

God creates whom He will. When He decrees a thing He need only say: “B” and it is. (1)

Your Lord said to the angels: ‘I am creating man from dry clay, from black moulded loam. When I have fashioned him and breathed of My spirit into him, kneel down and prostate yourselves before him. (2)

I (god) shall strike terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers! (3)

COMMENTARY ON THE KORANIC ACCOUNT

The god of Islam created Adam by speaking the words and then breathing into him of his spirit. Then he called on the angels to worship him. Is it possible the god of Islam could create another image of a man, breath into him of his spirit and require the people of all the earth to worship him. I think it is very probable.

THE BIBLICAL ACCOUNT

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: (4)

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (5)

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast saying, who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (6)

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth all the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causedth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six. (7)

COMMENTARY ON THE BIBLICAL ACCOUNT

This is prophecy of what will one day happen and has already happened concerning the angels. The red dragon is Satan the Devil. The stars which his tail threw to the earth are the angels of God who chose to follow Satan and are now fallen angels.

The first beast is known as the Antichrist. He is both posing as another Christ and someone who is against the true Christ. His power and authority come from the dragon who is Satan, the Devil. He and the Devil both receive worship from the people of the world.

The second beast is known as the False Prophet. He heads the world’s worship of the Antichrist and proposes a statue to the Antichrist. To this the False Prophet gives life and requires worship. Whoever would not worship the image of the Antichrist is put to death. Everyone in the world is required to take the mark of the Antichrist, which is 666, in order to buy or sell. The False Prophet runs both religion and commerce with enforcement authority and power.

Together they are able to deceive most everyone in the world and obtain/coerce their cooperation.

COMPARING & CONTRASTING THE KORAN WITH SCRIPTURE

When the False Prophet gives life to the image of the Antichrist this will confirm to the Muslims that he is god for Adam was created in a similar way. The False Prophet can say “B” and it is. Putting to death unbelievers and idolaters is part of the Muslim way so there is nothing strange about killing those who do not worship the image of the Antichrist.

CONCLUSION

The reign of the Antichrist is not something you want to encounter. You can escape it through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for before the Antichrist’s reign Jesus will take His people out of the world. Scripture says that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. A sample prayer you can pray is: Lord Jesus Christ forgive me of my sin and come into my heart.
