The Bible and the Quran are not revelation from the same God. With Yahweh giving revelation that is the Bible, the God shown in the Quran is not that being. But Allah means "the one God" so Yahweh is known with that word to Arabic speaking Christians.

DWA2DAY said:
However Allah does not mean the one god. But the god. Also keep in mind Allah is not an Arabic word it is a Syriac word coming from Petra and was worshiped in Petra as one of the many gods. If fact the pagan god Allah had three daughters who interceded on behalf of the people to Allah.

Even if "Allah" is not literally translated to the One God, it is with the meaning in that way that italicized words in the King James version in many cases are designating a meaning originally meant though they are not from literal translation. "The God" is the term the users use with understanding there is no other god. This is right, the one God, known as "Allah" among Arabic speaking Christians, is that one and only God. That which is understood by the Muslims isn't this just by virtue of the fact that the one God, Yahweh, who authored the Bible through prophets and apostles God used to speak and write God's word, would not have authored the Qur'an, which contradicts it. The Muslim belief gets around that with the claim that the contradictions are from corruption to the Bible. But we can know there is no such corruption to any of the essential teachings, and these contradict what is in the Qur'an. So the God they believe authored the Qur'an is not the real God.

As I recall, "Allah" is the contracted form of the Arabic phrase "Al Ilah", meaning indeed "The God".

We Muslims believe that Allah is the one and only God and Jesus is one of his prophets just like Moses and Jacob and Abraham and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon them).
How does Islam view the prophet in Deut 18? Thanks.

Deuteronomy18:
18 a prophet I raise up to them, out of the midst of their brethren, like to thee;
and I have given my words in his mouth, and he hath spoken unto them all that which I command him;
19 and it hath been -- the man who doth not hearken unto My words which he doth speak in My name, I require it of him.


It is also referred to a few times in the Christian NT of the holy Bible:

Acts 3:22
For Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you.
Acts 7:37
This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, 'God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers.'

Matthew 17:5 Still of Him speaking, behold! a luminous cloud overshadows them.
And behold! a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is the Son of Me, the Beloved, in whom I delight, be ye hearing Him!".


Revelation 2:18 And to the messenger of the assembly in Thyatira, write!
Now this is saying the Son of GOD, the One having the eyes of Him as flame of fire, and the feet of Him as to burnished-brass.

I was unaware that Allah had any progeny at all.

The background is here Muhammad and the Daughters of Allah: A Summation of the Evidence for the Satanic Verses

"
What Did the Qur'an Originally Say?

The Star Sura (Sura 53) verses 19-20 say, "Have ye seen Lat, and 'Uzza, And another, the third (goddess), Manat?"

Allah was prominent in Pre-Islamic Arabia, as a god with three daughters: al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat. (Note that al- means "the".)

The four early biographers of Mohammed wrote that they verses originally were followed by:

"These are the exalted cranes (intermediaries) Whose intercession is to be hoped for."

Interpretation: Allah's daughters were considered heavenly beings of intercessors. High altitude Numidian cranes were a metaphor for them. An alternate reading for "is to be hoped for" (turtaja) is "is accepted with approval" (turtada). (From Alfred Guillaume's translation of Ibn Ishaq's The Life of Mohammed p.166.

Later, this passage was taken out and the following was put in its place:

"What! For you the male sex, And for him, the female? Behold, such would be Indeed a division Most unfair." (verses 53:21-22 today)

Interpretation: Those who believed in Allah's three daughters were unfair toward Allah, since they all preferred sons yet said that Allah had only daughters." The Daughters of Allah

You refer to what, in the Islamic tradition, is known as the ‘Story of the Cranes’.

Allāh (Subḥānahu ūta'āla) says: ‘(Disbelievers), consider al- Lāt and al-ʿUzzā, and the third one, Manāt are you to have the male and He the female? That would be a most unjust distribution! These are nothing but names you have invented yourselves, you and your forefathers. Allāh has sent no authority for them. These people merely follow guess-work and the whims of their souls, even though guidance has come to them from their Lord.’ (Al-Najm: 19-23).

As you know, Al-Lāt, al-ʿUzzā, and Manāt were the names of three female idols worshipped by the pagan Arabs. The pagans believed that all three were the daughters of Allāh (Subḥānahu ūta'āla).

It is reported in several early histories of Islam that when the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was revealing Al-Najm to the Quraysh - a pagan tribe - Satan waited until he had come to the end of verse 20; and then whispered to him two other verses; verses that gave their deities an exalted status: ‘These are the high-flying ones, whose intercession is to be hoped for!’ It is said that the Quraysh were so delighted to hear their deities praised by Allāh (Subḥānahu ūta'āla) that, as a gesture of good-will and friendship, they all bowed down with the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam).

One need only examine verses 19-23 (with the so-called ‘satanic verses’ included in red) to see the folly of these reports:

‘(Disbelievers), consider al- Lāt and al-ʿUzzā, and the third one, Manāt. These are the high-flying ones, whose intercession is to be hoped for! ………………….these are nothing but names you have invented yourselves, you and your forefathers. God has sent no authority for them. These people merely follow guess-work and the whims of their souls, even though guidance has come to them from their Lord.’ (Al-Najm: 19-23).

There is no sense here. In one ‘breath’ (so to speak) Allāh (Subḥānahu ūta'āla) is praising the pagan deities; and in the next is denying their very reality; stating that they are nothing but inventions; the result of mere guesswork and pious whim!

It is difficult to see how the Quraysh (bitter enemies, and persecutors, of the Muslims) could see in Al-Najm: 19-23 (even with the ‘satanic verses’) any occasion for rejoicing; or for joint worship with the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam)!

Al-Najm was the twenty-third Surah to be revealed. This is the third:

‘You (Prophet), enfolded in your cloak! Stay up throughout the night, all but a small part of it, half, or a little less, or a little more; recite the Qur an slowly and distinctly: We shall send a momentous message down to you. Night prayer makes a deeper impression and sharpens words - you are kept busy for long periods of the day - so celebrate the name of your Lord and devote yourself wholeheartedly to Him. He is Lord of the east and west, there is no god but Him, so take Him as your Protector.’ (Al-Muzzammil: 1-9).

Even if Satan had whispered in Muhammad’s ear, the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) would have recognised the lie; and there is no way he would have repeated it!

Where did the myth of the 'Satanic Verses' originate? No one knows. But this does not change myth into reality.

Have a great day, and very best regards.

I believe that Deuteronomy18,19 are talking about prophet Mohamed not prophet Almaseeh Isa ibn Mariam because:
Arabs are meant by " among brethren as they are cousins of Israelis
Prophet Mohammed 's life is more similar to Moses, from both were fighter s, governers, have laws from Allah, which Alnaseeh has nothing from these.

We dont believe that NT is a real and pure revolution from Allah

Muhammed was not Jewish in the modern sense of the word.
Nor, was he of Israel.

Deuteronomy 18:15 New King James Version (NKJV)

15 “The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear,


"
Relation to Jews.

The Jews, on their side, could not let pass unchallenged the way in which the Koran appropriated Biblical accounts and personages; for instance, its making Abraham an Arab and the founder of the Ka'bah at Mecca. The prophet, who looked upon every evident correction of his gospel as an attack upon his own reputation, brooked no contradiction, and unhesitatingly threw down the gauntlet to the Jews. Numerous passages in the Koran show how he gradually went from slight thrusts to malicious vituperations and brutal attacks on the customs and beliefs of the Jews. When they justified themselves by referring to the Bible, Mohammed, who had taken nothing therefrom at first hand, accused them of intentionally concealing its true meaning or of entirely misunderstanding it, and taunted them with being "asses who carry books" (sura lxii. 5). The increasing bitterness of this vituperation, which was similarly directed against the less numerous Christians of Medina, indicated that in time Mohammed would not hesitate to proceed to actual hostilities. The outbreak of the latter was deferred by the fact that the hatred of the prophet was turned more forcibly in another direction, namely, against the people of Mecca, whose earlier refusal of Islam and whose attitude toward the community appeared to him at Medina as a personal insult which constituted a sufficient cause for war. The Koran, in order to lead its adherents to the belief that side by side with the humane precepts of religion were others commanding religious war ("jihad"), even to the extent of destroying human life, had to incorporate a number of passages enjoining with increasing emphasis the faithful to take up the sword for their faith. The earlier of these passages enunciated only the right of defensive action, but later ones emphasized the duty of taking the offensive against unbelievers—i.e., in the first place, the people of Mecca—until they should accept the new faith or be annihilated. The prophet's policy, steadily pursuing one object, and hesitating at no means to achieve it, soon actualized this new doctrine."MOHAMMED - JewishEncyclopedia.com

So, digging deeper into the contexts of how "brethren" is used start with the book of Deuteronomy. The first clue to the context of "brethren" is from the purpose of the book of Deuteronomy itself. The name Deuteronomy means 'copy of the law'; the law for who? - the Israelites, no one else. This book was given specifically to the Israelites, it was Moses' farewell address to them. A large part of it was a review of the laws between God and the Israelites, and its reading was to prepare them to enter into the promised land.


Next, I took a look at how the term 'brethren' (King James Version) is used throughout Deuteronomy. I found that it is used about 20 times, at least 14 times it means 'fellow Israelites' - members of the 12 tribes. Twice it is used to ref. the Edomites, and once for Levitical brothers, once for literal brothers (25:5), and twice for the verses in question: 18:15,18.


Therefore, the overwhelming majority of times the context is used for referring to 'fellow Israelites'.


...

CONCLUSION ON "FROM AMONG YOUR BRETHREN"



All of this shows that Muhammad could not be the prophet Moses foretold. The only acceptable, logical context for Moses' words is that "the prophet" must be an Israelite. No non-Israelite can meet the requirement. Muhammad was not an Israelite and thus he could not have fulfilled the conditions Moses set forth. Jesus is the prophet Moses foretold.

Jeuss prophet Moses answering islam - Google Search


A Prophet Like Unto Moses - Jews for Jesus
"
Let’s look at Yeshua’s qualifications – is He really the “Prophet Like Moses”?

First off, He’s definitely from “among the brothers” of Israel, so that’s a good start. The Prophet must be Jewish, and Jesus’ heritage was from the tribe of Judah.
Both were shepherds – Yeshua said, “I am the good shepherd”, and Moses also tended sheep – figuratively and literally.
Both were sent to bring salvation after 400 years of apparent inactivity from God – the Israelites had been enslaved for 400 years in Egypt, and the 400 years before Yeshua came had been notably silent years from God.
Both fasted for 40 days and nights – Moses while on Mount Sinai, and Yeshua in the Judean desert, when being tempted by Satan
Both spent time in Egypt as children (as Yeshua had to be hidden there for a while as a baby to escape Herod)
Both were born at a time when evil kings pronounced death to all Jewish baby boys in the area – Pharaoh had commanded all Hebrew baby boys to be drowned at birth, and Herod had issued a command to kill all baby boys under the age of two. Both were miraculously rescued from that threat
Both were called by God to lead and save
Both did miracles to testify to their God-given authority
Both instituted a covenant of blood that brought salvation for many – Moses with the Passover lamb’s blood on the doorposts, Yeshua, Lamb of God, brought in the new covenant in his blood on the beams of the cross
Both were given God’s public stamp of approval with an audible voice from heaven, heard by the crowd – Moses at Sinai, and Yeshua at his baptism
Both gave up great riches to lead a humble life of service and poverty – Moses from the palace of the King of Egypt, Yeshua from the heights of heaven. Both were noted for their great humility (Numbers 12:3, Hebrews 11:26-27, Philippians 2)
Both were initially rejected by the Jews when the foretold salvation didn’t seem as if it was going to happen. When Moses first challenged Pharaoh, things got a lot worse for the Israelites, leading to despair and anger. Yeshua’s crucifixion looked like a hopeless defeat. Both salvation situations initially looked like the promises were not going to come true. But they did.
Both were criticized by their own families – Mary and Yeshua’s brothers in Mark 3:20-21, and Moses’ sister and brother in Numbers 12:1.
Both were willing to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of those they were leading, and to pay for the sins of their people – Moses in Exodus 32, and Yeshua’s own readiness to die on our behalf is evident in the Garden of Gethsemene
Both miraculously provided the people with bread to eat – manna was sent from heaven for the Israelites and Yeshua famously fed the multitudes. Twice.
Both were accepted by Gentiles – Moses’ father in law, a Midianite, instantly believed (Exodus 18:10-11) The Egyptians too came to believe that the God of Israel was real and true. And the non-Jews readily accepted Yeshua’s message of salvation.
Under Moses, all those who believed him, those who followed the instructions and put the sacrificial blood on their doors, were saved from death. This means that all those who left Egypt had taken a step of faith and been saved. They were no longer just Hebrews ethnically, they had become a faith community. Similarly, under Yeshua, all those who appropriate his sacrificial blood, shed for us to save us from the power of death have entered into the faith community of those who follow Him.
Seven weeks (50 days) after the Exodus, the Israelites waited upon God to receive the Torah – now that they had been saved, how then should they live? God gave Moses His covenant and instructions on how to live as a faith community. Seven weeks (50 days) after the resurrection, the disciples waited as Yeshua instructed them to receive the Holy Spirit, and the church was born – a new faith community, and a new way to live as believers.
Both of their faces shone with the glory of heaven, as was noted by people who saw them – Moses had to wear a veil over his face because it was beaming so much, and Yeshua’s disciples saw His glory on the Mount of Transfiguration.
Moses chose 12 spies to explore Canaan, and Yeshua chose 12 disciples. Moses appointed 70 rulers over Israel, and Yeshua sent 70 disciples out to share the gospel.
Moses led the people out from slavery into… the wilderness. 40 years of wandering, hardship, and a lot of lessons learned the hard way – but all with God’s help and presence. The promised land would come only later. Yeshua has redeemed us into… life with Him, still on this fallen earth. A limited time not without pain and struggle, and many lessons learned the hard way – but all with God’s help and presence. The life we were created for with no sickness, pain or death is yet to come."21 Proofs that Yeshua is the "Prophet Like Moses" - ONE FOR ISRAEL Ministry

On first read, these references to a prophet seem a little vague; one might even think that Moses is referring to Joshua who is to follow him. However, Jesus points out in Luke 24:27 that Moses prophesied concerning the Messiah when he says, "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself." Earlier in his ministry Jesus had said in John 5:46, "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me." This is another reference to Deuteronomy 18:15-22.

Here's the question: Did the Jews of Jesus' day regard Deuteronomy 18:15-22 to be a Messianic reference? To answer this question, let's look at John 1:45, "Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." From this reference, it is logical to deduct that Jews were looking for a fulfillment of Moses' prophecy and had equated the prophet of Deuteronomy 18 to be the same as the Messiah.

Peter himself refers to this passage in Acts 3:22-23, "For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people." Take notice regarding Peter's understanding of Moses' words in Deuteronomy 18:19 when he says, "...whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him." In Peter's message, he understands that phrase to mean, "shall be destroyed from among the people." Without question, Peter regarded Moses words to be Messianic prophecy.

Stephen further confirms this understanding when he mentions it in passing to his all-Jewish audience in Acts 7:37, "This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear."

From these passages of scripture we may deduct the following:

  • Moses prophesied concerning the coming of the Messiah
  • The people of Jesus' day understood that to be the meaning of Moses' words
  • Jesus was the fulfillment of that Mosaic prophecy."Moses prophesied the Messiah

In conclusion, we see that Jesus was a prophet like Moses, but much greater than Moses. Jesus was the one who was in the bosom of the Father eternally (John 1:18), and to know him was to know the Father. (John 14:9)

All other claimants for who the prophets are may come forward, but let the other side deal with the evidence thus far presented."A Prophet Like Moses | CARM.org

Deut 18:20 But any prophet who presumes to speak in My name an oracle that I did not command him to utter, or who speaks in the name of other gods—that prophet shall die.”
"
Jesus is the "Prophet Like Unto Moses"

Just as there were 400 years of silence before Adonai sent Moses to deliver Israel from her bondage to Pharaoh, so there were 400 of years of silence before Adonai sent His own Son, Jesus the Messiah, to utterly deliver Israel from her ultimate bondage to sin and death.
Both Moses and Jesus were sent from God Exod. 3:1-10; John 8:42 Exod. 3:1-10; John 8:42 .
Both Moses and Jesus were Jews Exod. 2:1-2; Matt. 1:1-16; Luke 1-2; Heb. 7:14 Exod. 2:1-2; Matt. 1:1-16; Luke 1-2; Heb. 7:14 . Note: This is no small thing, since Muslims claim that Muhammad is the prophet Moses referred to here; which is obviously incorrect, since the Mashiach must be a Jew - see John 4:24 John 4:24 .
Both had faithful Jewish parents Exod. 2:2; Heb. 11:23; Matt. 2:13-14 Exod. 2:2; Heb. 11:23; Matt. 2:13-14 .
Both were born under foreign rule Exod. 1:8-14; Luke 2:1 Exod. 1:8-14; Luke 2:1 .
Both were threatened by wicked kings Exod. 1:15-16; Matt. 2:16 Exod. 1:15-16; Matt. 2:16 .
Both Moses and Jesus spent their early years in Egypt, miraculously protected from those who sought their lives Exod. 2:10; Matt. 2:14-15 Exod. 2:10; Matt. 2:14-15 .
Both rejected the possibility to become rulers in this age. Moses was raised as a son in the royal family and could have enjoyed a lavish lifestyle as a powerful ruler, but he chose differently Heb. 11:24 Heb. 11:24 ; Satan offered Jesus the rule over the kingdoms of this world Matt. 4:8-9 Matt. 4:8-9 , but rejected that offer and chose to suffer and die for the sake of the people of Israel.
Both Moses and Jesus were "sent from a mountain of God to free Israel. Moses was sent from physical Mount Sinai in Midian, Arabia; Jesus was sent from a spiritual "Mount Zion " in Heaven Heb. 12:22 Heb. 12:22 .
Both were initially rejected by the Jews Exod. 32:1; Isa. 53: 3; Matt. 27:21-22; Exod. 32:1; Isa. 53: 3; Matt. 27:21-2; Rom. 11:25 .
Both were accepted by Gentiles Moses by the Midianites Exod. 2:14-22Exod. 2:14-22 ; Jesus by the world Acts 10:45; 1 Tim. 3:16 Acts 10:45; 1 Tim. 3:16 .
Both were criticized by their families Num. 12:1; Mark 3:20-21 Num. 12:1; Mark 3:20-21.
Both knew God face to face. God spoke directly to both Moses and Exod. 3:1-10; Deut. 34:10; Luke 9:34-36 Exod. 3:1-10; Deut. 34:10; Luke 9:34-36 . All other prophets received their revelation by visions or dreams Deut. 34:10; John 1:18 Deut. 34:10; John 1:18 . Both were authoritative spokesmen for God Matt. 17:5; John 3:34 Matt. 17:5; John 3:34 .
Both were teachers Deut. 4:1-5; Matt. 22:16; John 3:2 Deut. 4:1-5; Matt. 22:16; John 3:2 .
Both revealed God's Name Exod. 3:13-14; John 17:6, 11-12 Exod. 3:13-14; John 17:6, 11-12 .
Both were faithful to God Num. 12:5-7; Heb. 3:1-2 Num. 12:5-7; Heb. 3:1-2 .
Both gave the people bread from Heaven Exod. 16:14-15; Matt. 14:19-20 Exod. 16:14-15; Matt. 14:19-20 and performed various miracles Exod. 4:21-8; Deut. 34:10-12; John 5:36; 12:37-38 Exod. 4:21-8; Deut. 34:10-12; John 5:36; 12:37-8 .
Both were appointed as saviors of Israel Moses as Israel's deliverer from the bondage to Pharaoh; Jesus as Israel's deliverer from the bondage to Satan .
Both were shepherds of Israel Moses led the Israelites through the wilderness Exod. 3:1; Numbers , Jesus led His followers as the Good Shepherd John 10:10-11; Matt. 9:36 .
Both were humble servants of the LORD Num. 12:3; Luke 2:46-7; Phil. 2:8-9 .
Both fasted for forty days in the wilderness Exod. 34:28; Matt. 4:2 .
Both were Mediators of a covenant of blood: Moses of the older covenant Exod. 24:7-8 Exod. 24:7-8 and Jesus of the new covenant Matt. 26:26-28; Mark 14:24; Luke 22:20; Heb. 9:11-15; 1 Cor. 11:25; 2 Cor. 3:6 Matt. 26:26-28; Mark 14:24; Luke 22:20; Heb. 9:11-15; 1 Cor. 11:25; 2 Cor. 3:6 .
Both offered to die on behalf of the people's sins Exod. 32:30-33; John 17 Exod. 32:30-33; John 17 .
Just as Moses instituted the LORD's Passover on Nisan 14 as the means by which the Angel of death would pass over those Israelites who trusted in God's promise regarding the blood of the lamb Exod. 12:11-12 Exod. 12:11-12 , so Jesus offered Himself as the sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world John 1:29 John 1:29 .
Just as Moses brought about the "resurrection" of the children of Israel as they passed through the Red Sea; so Jesus became the Firstfruits of resurrection as He rose from the dead.
Just as the Torah was given to Israel fifty days after the Exodus from Egypt on Pentecost or Shavuot , so Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to form the Church fifty days after His resurrection.
Both of their faces shone with the glory of heaven - Moses on Mount Sinai Exod. 34:34-35 Exod. 34:34-5 and Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration Matt. 17:2 Matt. 17:2 .
As Moses lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness to heal his people Num. 21:8-9 Num. 21:8-9 ; so Jesus was lifted up on the cross to heal all believers from their sin John 12:32 John 12:32 .
As Moses conquered the great enemy of Israel, the Amalekites with his upraised arms Exod. 17:11 Exod. 17:11 , so Jesus conquered our ultimate enemy of sin and death by His upraised arms on the cross John 19:18 John 19:18 .
As Moses sent twelve spies to explore Canaan Num. 13 Num. 13 , so Jesus sent twelve apostles to reach the world Matt. 10:1 Matt. 10:1 ; and as Moses appointed seventy rulers over Israel Num. 11:16-17 Num. 11:16-7 , so Jesus anointed seventy disciples to teach the nations Luke 10:1 Luke 10:1 .

How, then, was Jesus a Prophet "like Moses"? Well, like Moses, he was a Jew, a Leader, a Prophet, a Lawgiver, a Savior, a Teacher, a Priest, a Healer, an Anointed One, a Mediator between God and man -- speaking the words of God -- and like Moses, He offered himself to die for the sins of the people."Yeshua - the Prophet Like Moses

Hebrews 1 Good News Translation (GNT)

1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors many times and in many ways through the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us through his Son. He is the one through whom God created the universe, the one whom God has chosen to possess all things at the end. 3 He reflects the brightness of God's glory and is the exact likeness of God's own being, sustaining the universe with his powerful word. After achieving forgiveness for the sins of all human beings, he sat down in heaven at the right side of God, the Supreme Power.

It is simply impossible for another prophet to come because Jesus was the last Prophet ever.

The Last Book Written about Jesus was unveiled, revealed to John his beloved Disciple by Jesus himself through an angel. Concerning this book, it is warned at the end.

Revelation 1 Good News Translation (GNT)
1 This book is the record of the events that Jesus Christ revealed. God gave him this revelation in order to show to his servants what must happen very soon. Christ made these things known to his servant John by sending his angel to him, 2 and John has told all that he has seen. This is his report concerning the message from God and the truth revealed by Jesus Christ. 3 Happy is the one who reads this book, and happy are those who listen to the words of this prophetic message and obey what is written in this book! For the time is near when all these things will happen.

From John to the seven churches in the province of Asia:

Grace and peace be yours from God, who is, who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits in front of his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first to be raised from death and who is also the ruler of the kings of the world.

He loves us, and by his sacrificial death he has freed us from our sins 6 and made us a kingdom of priests to serve his God and Father. To Jesus Christ be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen.

7 Look, he is coming on the clouds! Everyone will see him, including those who pierced him. All peoples on earth will mourn over him. So shall it be!

8 “I am the first and the last,” says the Lord God Almighty, who is, who was, and who is to come.

The Warning:

Revelation 22:18-19 Good News Translation (GNT)

18 I, John, solemnly warn everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: if any add anything to them, God will add to their punishment the plagues described in this book. 19 And if any take anything away from the prophetic words of this book, God will take away from them their share of the fruit of the tree of life and of the Holy City, which are described in this book.

Therefore, for Mohammed to claim to be a prophet, he would be adding to the last revelation given by Jesus himself...

Galatians 1:6-8 Good News Translation (GNT)

6 I am surprised at you! In no time at all you are deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ, and are accepting another gospel. 7 Actually, there is no “other gospel,” but I say this because there are some people who are upsetting you and trying to change the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel that is different from the one we preached to you, may he be condemned to hell!

Note: all but the last post are quotes from others who have already put together the cases that Jesus is the prophet like Moses. The only thing quoted in the last post that is not my statements is the Bible itself.

The keys to those posts are Jesus is of Israel, Muhammad is not.
Jesus is the final prophet, any others claiming such are false prophets.

Matthew 7:15 [ A Tree and Its Fruit ] “Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you looking like sheep on the outside, but on the inside they are really like wild wolves.

Matthew 7:20 So then, you will know the false prophets by what they do.

spreading religion by the sword is by a false prophet.

Matthew 24:11 Then many false prophets will appear and fool many people.


Matthew 24:24 For false Messiahs and false prophets will appear; they will perform great miracles and wonders in order to deceive even God's chosen people, if possible.

Mark 13:22 For false Messiahs and false prophets will appear. They will perform miracles and wonders in order to deceive even God's chosen people, if possible.

Luke 6:26 “How terrible when all people speak well of you; their ancestors said the very same things about the false prophets.

2 Peter 2:1 False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers will appear among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines, and will deny the Master who redeemed them, and so they will bring upon themselves sudden destruction.

1 John 4:1 My dear friends, do not believe all who claim to have the Spirit, but test them to find out if the spirit they have comes from God. For many false prophets have gone out everywhere.
