Can be summarised in one verse: { وَقَالَتِ ٱلۡیَهُودُ وَٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ نَحۡنُ أَبۡنَـٰۤؤُا۟ ٱللَّهِ وَأَحِبَّـٰۤؤُهُۥۚ قُلۡ فَلِمَ یُعَذِّبُكُم بِذُنُوبِكُمۖ بَلۡ أَنتُم بَشَرࣱ مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقَۚ یَغۡفِرُ لِمَن یَشَاۤءُ وَیُعَذِّبُ مَن یَشَاۤءُۚ وَلِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۖ وَإِلَیۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِیرُ } [Surah Al-Māʾidah: 18]

Q: Who is the most noble/holiest and special people - past present and future, chosen by God and bestowed with all gifts??? A: The Jews “Mystical City of God” by Mary of Agreda, Catholic mystic (1601 - 1667) 145. As the world progressed in its course, in order that the Word might descend from the bosom of the Father and clothe Itself in our mortality, God selected and prepared a chosen and most noble people, the most admirable of past and future times. Within it also He constituted a most illustrious and holy race, from which He was to descend according to the flesh. I will not linger in detailing the genealogy of Christ our Lord, for the account of the holy Evangelists has made that unnecessary. I will only say, in praise of the Most High, that He has shown to me many times the incomparable love, which He bore toward his people, the favors shown to it, and the mysteries and holy Sacraments, which He entrusted to it, as was afterwards made manifest through his holy Church. For at no time has slept nor slumbered He, who has constituted Himself the watcher of Israel (Ps. 120, 4). 146. He reared most holy Prophets and Patriarchs, who in figures and prophecies announced to us from far off, that, which we have now in possession. He wishes us to venerate them, knowing how they esteemed the law of grace and how earnestly they yearned and prayed for it. To this people God manifested his immutable Essence by many revelations, and they again transmitted these revelations to us by the holy Scriptures, containing immense mysteries, which we grasp and learn to know by faith. All of them, however, are brought to perfection and are made certain by the incarnate Word, who transmitted to us the secure rule of faith and the nourishment of the sacred Scriptures in his Church. Although the Prophets and the just ones of that people were not so far favored as to see Christ in his body, they nevertheless experienced the liberality of the Lord, who manifested Himself to them by prophecies and who moved their hearts to pray for his coming and for the Redemption of the whole human race. The consonance and harmony of all these prophecies, mysteries and aspirations of the ancient fathers, were a sweet music to the Most High, which resounded in the secret recesses of the Divinity and which regaled and shortened the time (to speak in a human manner) until He should descend to converse with man. 147. In order not to be detained too much in that, which the Lord has revealed to me regarding this and in order to arrive at the preparations, which the Lord made for sending to the world the incarnate Word and His most holy Mother, I will rehearse these mysteries succinctly according to the order given in the holy Scriptures. Genesis contains that which concerns the beginning and the creation of the world for the human race; the division of the earth, the chastisement and the restoration, the confusion of tongues, and the origin of the chosen race, humbled in Egypt; and the many other great sacraments revealed to Moses by God, in order that we may be led to know his love and the justice towards men from the beginning drawing them to his knowledge and service, and to foreshadow that, which He has resolved to do in the future. 148. The book of Exodus contains what happened in Egypt with the chosen people, the plagues and punishments, which God sent in order to rescue them; their departure and march through the sea; the written law given with such great preparations and wonders; and many other great sacraments, which the Lord provided for his people, visiting now their enemies, now themselves with afflictions, chastising their enemies with the severity of a Judge, correcting the Israelites with the benignity of a Father and teaching them to appreciate his benefits by sending severe hardships. He worked great wonders with the staff of Moses, which prefigured the cross on which the incarnate Word was to be sacrificed as the Lamb, a salvation to many, a ruin to others (Luc, 2, 34). It was like the staff of Moses, and like the Red Sea, the waves of which shielded the people and annihilated the Egyptians. Thus he filled the lives of the saints with joys and sorrows, with hardships and with comforts; with infinite wisdom and providence He symbolized in them the life and the death of Christ our Lord. 149. In the book of the Levites He describes and ordains many sacrifices and ceremonies of the law for placating the Divinity; for they were to point out the Lamb, which was to be immolated for all men; and they pointed out also ourselves, immolated to the Majesty of God in reality, as was prefigured in these sacrifices. It also describes the vestments of Aaron, the High priest and type of Christ, although Christ was not to be of that inferior order but of the order of Melchisedech (Ps. 120,4). 150. The book of Numbers describes the wanderings of the Israelites in the desert, prefiguring what was to happen with the holy Church, with the Onlybegotten as man, and with his most holy Mother; and also with the rest of the just, who, in different aspects, were prefigured in the column of fire, in the manna, in the rock giving forth water. It contains also other great mysteries, which are comprehended in the events there recorded, likewise the mysteries pertaining to numbers, in all of which deep secrets are hidden. 151. Deuteronomy is like a second law, a repetition of the first, but given in a different way and prefiguring more closely the law of the Gospels. For as according to the hidden judgments of God and according to the propriety known to his wisdom, the Incarnation of the Son was to be deferred, He renewed and rearranged these laws in order that they might be more like to those, which He was to establish for his Onlybegotten. 152. Josue or Jesus Nave conducts the people of God into the promised land; he divides the Jordan to allow the passage of the multitudes, achieves great things, typifying plainly the Redeemer as well in name as in deed. His history represents the destruction of the kingdom of the devil, the separation and the division of the good and bad, which will happen in the last day

[@Raverraver9999]

153. After Josue, when the people had already come into the possession of the promised and wished-for land, which primarily and appropriately signifies the Church acquired by Jesus Christ through the price of his blood, comes the book of the Judges. These were ordained by God for the government of his people, especially during the wars, which on account of their sins and idolatries were waged against them by the Philistines and other neighboring enemies. From these God freed and delivered them, whenever they returned to God by penance and amendment of life. In it are also related the deeds of Deborah while judging the people and liberating them from great oppression; also those of Jahel, who helped them to victory, mighty and courageous women both. All these deeds of history prefigure and illustrate what was to happen in the Church. 154. After the generation of the Judges came the Kings, for whom the Israelites petitioned in their desire of imitating the government of the surrounding nations. These books contain great mysteries concerning the coming of the Messiah. Heli, the priest, and Saul, the king, prefigure in their death the reprobation of the old law. Sadoc and David, typify the new reign and priesthood of Christ and also the Church with the small number, which were to belong to it in comparison to the rest of men in the world. The other kings of Israel and Juda and their captivities presignify other great mysteries of the holy Church. 155. During the aforesaid times lived the most patient Job, whose words are so mysterious, that there is not one without its profound sacramental meaning concerning the life of Christ our Lord, the resurrection of the dead, the last judgment in the same flesh, in which each one lives, and concerning the violence and astuteness of the demons and their warfare against men. Above all has God placed him as an example of patience for us mortals, for in him we all may learn how we are to bear our adversities; especially as we have before our eyes the death of Christ, whereas this saint saw Him only at such a distance and yet imitated Him so closely. 156. In the writings of the many and great Prophets moreover, which God sent in the time of the kings to provide for special necessities, not one of the great mysteries and sacraments pertaining to the coming of the Messiah and his law, remained undeclared or unrevealed. The same thing, although more at a distance, God accomplished in the ancient Fathers and Patriarchs. In all this He only multiplied the likenesses, and, as it were, the patterns of the incarnate Word, and prearranged and prepared for Him a people, and the law, which He was to teach. 157. In the three great patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, He deposited great arid precious pledges calling Himself the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He wished to honor Himself in the name at the same time that He honored them, manifesting his dignity and his excellent virtues and sacraments, and confiding them to their care, in order that they might furnish so honorable a name to God. The patriarch Abraham, in order to prefigure vividly, that which the eternal Father was to do with his Onlybegotten, was tempted and tried by the command to sacrifice his only son Isaac (Gen. 22, 1). When, however, this obedient father was about to complete the sacrifice, the same Lord, who had given the commandment, impeded its execution; for such a heroic sacrifice was to be reserved to the eternal Father, who alone was to sacrifice in effect his Onlybegotten: only in a symbolic manner can Abraham be said to have done the same: for thus it will appear, that the zeal of divine love is (Cant. 8, 6) strong as death. It was not however beseeming, that such an expressive figure should remain altogether unaccomplished and therefore the sacrifice of Abraham was fulfilled by the killing of a ram, being likewise a figure of the Lamb, which was to pay for the sins of the world (Joan 1, 29). 158. To Jacob was shown that mysterious ladder, full of sacraments and hidden import (Gen. 28, 12), principally to represent the incarnate Word as the way and the means of ascending to the Father, and of his descending to us. On it also ascend and descend the angels, who illuminate and guide us, bearing us up in their hands, so that we may not stumble over the rocks of the errors, heresies, and vices, with which the path of mortal life is strewn (Ps. 90, 12). In the midst of them we pass securely up this stairs in the faith and hope of his holy Church, which is the house of the Lord, the portal of heaven and holiness. 159. In order to make him the god of Pharao and the leader of his people He showed to Moses the mystical thornbush, which burned without being consumed and which foreshadowed the Divinity covered with our humanity, leaving the Divinity intact by the humanity and the humanity unconsumed by the Divinity. At the same time it also signified the perpetual virginity of the Mother of the Word, not only of her body, but of her soul, so that, although She was a daughter of Adam and came vested in the sin-tainted nature derived from Adam, She nevertheless was without stain or offense. 160. He raised also for Himself David according to his own heart (I Reg. 13, 14), who worthily sang the praise of the Most High, comprehending in his Psalms all the sacraments and mysteries not only of the law of grace, but of the written and natural law. And the testimonies, judgments and works of the Lord, which were pronounced by his lips, David also treasured up in his heart, meditating on them day and night. In pardoning his enemies, he was an express image and figure of God forgiving us. Thus all his promises concerning the coming of the Redeemer were made more certain to the world. 161. Solomon, the king of peace, was an image of the King of kings; for by his great wisdom he manifested in different kinds of writings the sacraments and mysteries of Christ, especially in the similitudes of the Canticles. For there he exposed the mysteries of the incarnate Word, of his most holy Mother, of his Church and of the faithful. He taught also right behavior in different ways, opening up a fountain of truth and life-giving knowledge for many other writers. 162. But who can worthily exalt the benefits He provided for his people in the praiseworthy host of holy Prophets, through whom the Lord has spread the light of prophecy, lighting up as from afar the holy Church, and commencing in advance to shed the rays of the Sun of justice and of the efficacious law of grace? The two great Prophets, Isaias and Jeremias, were chosen to preach to us, in a sweet and exalted manner, the mysteries of the Incarnation of the Word, his Birth, Life and Death. Isaias promised us, that a Virgin should conceive and give birth to a Son, who would call himself Emmanuel; that a little son shall be born to us, who shall bear his kingdom on his shoulder (Is. 7, 14; 9, 6). All the rest of the life of the Christ he proclaims with such clearness, that his prophecies are like a gospel. Jeremias announces the unheard of wonder, that God will cause a Woman to bear in her womb a man, who is at the same time to be a God and perfect man, who alone can be Christ (Jer. 31, 22). He announced his coming, his passion, ignominy and death (Thren. 3, 28). Wonder and suspense fill me in the consideration of these prophets. Isaias asks the Lord to send the Lamb, which is to rule the world from the rocks of the desert to the mountain of the daughter of Sion ; for this Lamb, the incarnate Word, calls the heavens a desert, where as God He dwelt without the society of men (Is. 16, 1). He calls Him rock, on account of the stability of his throne and of the unaltered rest of eternity which He enjoys. The mountain, from which He is asked to come, is in the mystical sense, the holy Church and first of all, the most holy Mary, the Daughter of the vision of peace, that is Sion, The prophet interposes Her as the Mediatrix, to induce the eternal Father to send his Onlybegotten, the Lamb. For in all the rest of the human race there was nothing to influence Him so much as to have Her as his Mother, who was to clothe Him with the spotless fleece of the most holy humanity. All this is contained in that most sweet prayer and prophecy of Isaias. 163. Ezekiel also saw this Virgin Mother in the figure and likeness of the closed gate (Ezekiel 44, 2), which was open only for the God of Israel and through which no other man could enter. Habacuc contemplates Christ our Lord on the cross and in most profound words prophesies the mysteries of the Redemption and the wonderful effects of the passion and death of our Redeemer (Hab. 3). Joel describes the land of the twelve tribes, prefiguring the apostles, who were to be the heads of all the sons of the Church. He also announces the descent of the Holy Ghost upon his servants and handmaids, foretelling the time of the coming, and of the life of Christ. And all the other prophets announced in part the same thing, for God wished all his great works to be announced, prophesied and prefigured far in advance and so completely, that they might testify the love and care, which He had for men and with which He enriched his Church. He wished also to reprehend us and convict us of our lukewarmness, since these ancient Fathers and Prophets, seeing only the shadows and figures, were inflamed with divine love and broke forth in canticles of praise and exaltation of the Lord, whereas we, who enjoy the truth and the bright day of grace, remain buried in forgetfulness of so great benefits, and, forsaking the light, continue to seek the darkness.

No Allah and God of Israel are two different ones ie; 1. Exodus 4:22 Israel is my first born son Quran 6:101 Allah cannot have a son because he doesn't have a wife!!!🎉 NB lesson learned is one is able to have a son without a wife while the other is not so one is almighty while the other is just a man😢 2.levitus 17:7 jinni/demons are not allowed in the midst of God of Israel. Quran 46:29 Allah enjoys the company of jinni/demons and sends them to those who follows Allah. 2b.Bible Demons/ jinni belong to the god of this world the Satan ref Mathew 25:41 Quran 46:29/72: jinni worships and listen to Allah So do you see the difference??? We can't worship a strange god of jinni not of humans

Long time ago, I heard a friend saying . As long as Palestinians fight for Palestinians/Arabs, it’s a lost cause. But if they fight to restore Allah’s authority on the holy site for all without racial aspect then they will succeed as God designated this site to worship and obey Him alone for all. In fact before changing to Makkah, prophet Mohammed SAS and the early Muslims used to pray facing Jerusalem until God’s decree to face Makkah was delivered to Him.

@@BasiraEducation Your video is... unfortunately not very good, because you are insincere. You try to use religion to take away property. The temple is Jewish, not Arab. The land is Jewish. Arabic is a FOREIGN language to the land. It's so easy to understand Is God for everybody? OF COURSE. Even the Jews know this and many of them say that it is the job of the Jewish people to be an EXAMPLE nation for the world and to tell the world about the real God. So that's fine... but that doesn't mean that Jewish property like rhe temple mount belongs to you, my friend. You are insincere And if God wanted to, he could have made all the world one nation, so that indeed it all belongs to eveybody, but he didn't. He split the world into many different nations with different languages and cultures, and gave each culture their land of origin, where their culture developed. Jewish culture developed in Israel. Arab culture developed in Arabia. These are two different cultures with 2 different languages

[@marioluigi9599]

@@BasiraEducation So what to do about this? Should two different cultures always live apart then in 2 separate states, because they're just too different from each other? No! God wants us to get to know each other and learn from each other and be kind and loving to one another, BUT NOT BY eradicating each other's cultures. That's the important part that YOU don't respect. The Arabs want 100% of Jewish land with nothing left for the Jews of their historic homeland, the land of origin for the Jewish culture, which contains the most holy places for the Jewish nation. This is an untenable situation for the Jews. YOU yourself would never give away Mecca or the Kaaba, the most holy site for the Islamic religion, yet you expect Jews to give you their most holy site?? Have you then no sense?

[@marioluigi9599]

@@BasiraEducation Reflect and see how illogical your thinking is. The Dome of the Rock has no significance for Islam, except that it covers the site of the Jewish temple. It's not even mentioned in the Qur'an. It only exists to protect the rock upon which stood what? The Ark of the Covenant! Within the Holy of Holies in the Jewish temple. That's THE ONLY REASON that rock is deemed holy. Okay? Its not because of Arabs or Muslims that it is holy. It's only because of what the JEWISH people had there for themselves. This is something you don't respect, nor do you understand or care for it. You think it all belongs to you, because you say God is for everybody, so you have no place for peace in your heart. Again, of course God is for eveybody, but the Jews are the nation that God had favoured and made a covenant with, not the Arabs! So if the temple mount and the land of Israel belongs to Arabs, where then is the covenant that the Arabs have made for the land? Show it to me, if you are truthful. The Qur'an itself mentions the covenant that the Jewish people had made. The truth is, he NEVER made any covenant with the Arab people, so PLEASE, stop being so insincere

We will insha'allah address this at a high level in the next episode.

[@ahmeda.3198]

@@BasiraEducation Thank you. Another question concerning this red heifer is the biblical account suggests the cow is used for purification of people and places (to make them clean). Why in the Quran Surah Bakara, when Prophet Musa tells his people to bring a cow, instead of saying it is for purification, the next ayat (which may not be connected to the cow they brought), says people argued over who killed a man, and then hit him with ‘it’s and he came back to life. The standard interpretations I’ve seen are that the people were told to hit the dead man with part of the sacrificed heifer. But to my knowledge, the Bible does not say Moses brought anyone back to life, or did anything like this with the sacrificed cow.

God chose Abraham as an Imam, spiritual leader for the people. The Abraham asked Allah if his children would also be chosen? Allah answered that only those who are righteous. So the Jews rebelled.

I wish the narrator or presenter could read this. The temple belongs to God and he gives control over it to whom he wills and gives prophethood to whom he wills. I think you need to make it unequivically clear that prophethood was taken away from the Isrealites and redeeming themselves requires believing in God's latest and last prophet to the world who is not an Isrealite. That is the prophet Muhammad. I think you also need to emphasize that the holy land and its surrounding regions were not exclusively inhabited by the jews nor were they a divine gift to the jews. They were given power in the land in some periods and lost power in some periods to other empires

[@raizalmohammad8188]

[@marcusm663]

ACTUALLY...Israel first became part of "The Bible" 80 years after Christs death. Jesus never knew, nor approved of the Torah (Old Testament) prefacing his teachings. Marcion of Sinope (who made the first compilation of Christian teachings) rejected the Idea that the Torah could preface Jesus teachings. He said that Yahweh was a vengeful, violent God who ordered Israel to "kill all of their enemies, kill their women and children, leave no trace of them on the earth". Marcion said that this could not possibly be the same God of love, compassion and Forgiveness that Jesus served. The pope disagreed (YES, it was a pope, NOT THE HAND OF GOD that decided to put the Torah at the front of Jesus teachings) and Marcion was immediately excommunicated and erased from Christian history. Looking at recent events, I can't help but wonder if maybe Marcion was right. Either way, this idea of "Chosen People of Israel" has nothing at all to do with Jesus, and the whole idea only exists in Christianity because of the decision of a Pope.

Chapter 3 The scribe then said: 'Pardon me, O master, for I have sinned.' Said Jesus: 'God pardon thee; for against him hast thou sinned.' Whereupon said the scribe: 'I have seen an old book written by the hand of Moses and Joshua (he who made the sun stand still as thou hast done), servants and prophets of God, which book is the true book of Moses. Therein is written that Ishmael is the father of Messiah, and Isaac the father of the messenger of the Messiah. And thus saith the book, that Moses said: "Lord God of Israel, mighty and merciful, manifest to thy servant the splendour of thy glory. Whereupon God showed him his messenger in the arms of Ishmael, and Ishmael in the arms of Abraham. Nigh to Ishmael stood Isaac, in whose arms was a child, who with finger pointed to the messenger of God, saying: "This is he for whom God hath created all things." 'Whereupon Moses cried out with joy: "O Ishmael, thou hast in thine arms all the world, and paradise!

There are many 100’s of Thousands if not several million religious Jews who are actively repenting and the Prophets say clearly that God will hear their pleas and return the Temple.

[@YusufMullan]

The point of the video series is in order to actively repent (and for that repentance to not just be verbal but real and sincere) Jews need to accept the non-Israeli Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, their ancestors instructed them to follow. In other words , they need to shed the corrupt racial chosen-ness belief and accept that chosen-ness is only because of service to God. It’s not an ethnic thing. Accepting all this IS the repentance. If they repent in this way, they will once again become the chosen children of Israel. The speaker explains that thousands upon thousands of Jews have repented in this way. However,unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you see it) such people are labeled as “Muslim” and no longer seen as Jews. Those who today cling to the corrupt idea that they’re chosen by God based on their ethnicity are known today as Jews or followers of Judaism. He explains all of this with evidence in this and the upcoming videos. You need to watch them carefully though. Without distractions. Otherwise, it’s easy to miss the case he’s making.

Chapter 4 In that book it is not found that God eateth the flesh of cattle or sheep; in that book it is not found that God hath locked up his mercy in Israel alone, but rather that God hath mercy on every man that seeketh God his creator in truth. 'All of this book I was not able to read, because the high priest, in whose library I was, forbade me, saying that an Ishmaelite had written it.' Then said Jesus: 'See that thou never again keep back the truth, because in the faith of the Messenger God shall give salvation to men, and without it shall none be saved

[@DominusNobody]

1) There's overwhelming and robustly grounded agreement within the field of genetics that 'race' lacks a biological basis. 2) Jews are actually one of the remarkably diverse populations. 3) There is no established direct biological link-exclusive or otherwise-between contemporary individuals who identify as Jews and the ancient Israelites. 4) While seeking the essence of Jewishness, a common thread emerges: a sense or perception of 'chosenness', particularism, exclusivism, and exceptionalism ingrained throughout its collective identity, irrespective of one's faith.

Thank you so much for a representation of Scholarly Islam. Brother. Both Arabs (including Palestinians) and Jews are Semitic peoples with a mitochondrial distinction between the two. Both are special. Both are unique with equal valued differences. Both are worth preserving when under dire threat. Just the same as First Nations peoples in America are worth preserving. Ethnic Jews always welcomed non Jews to worship and indeed live among them. In the ancient times they were known to the Jewish people as “God fearers.” So in part, my Brother, you are correct. Judaism welcomed non ethnic relatives as “adoptees” by way of Faith. In part, you are only half correct because they have a mitochondrial genetic distinction that makes them unique, just as you do, just as I do. Peace be to you.

The scribe answered: 'O master, I fear to tell thee this, because of the penalty of death.' Then said Jesus: 'Brother, I am grieved that I came to eat bread in thy house, since thou lovest this present life more than God thy creator; and for this cause thou fearest to lose thy life, but fearest not to lose the faith and the life eternal, which is lost when the tongue speaketh contrary to that which the heart knoweth of the law of God.' Then the good scribe wept, and said: 'O master, if I had known how to bear fruit, I should have preached many things which I have left unsaid lest sedition should be roused among the people.' Jesus answered: 'Thou shouldst respect neither the people, nor all the world, nor all the holy ones, nor all the angels, when it should cause offence to God. Wherefore let the whole [world] perish rather than offend God thy creator, and preserve it not with sin. For sin destroyeth and preserveth not, and God is mighty to create as many worlds as there are sands in the sea, and more.'
