John The Baptist Announces A Powerful Prophet John the Baptist, according to the narratives of the four Evangelists, was a cousin and contemporary of Jesus, being only about six months older than the latter.

The Prophet Foretold By The Baptist Was Certainly Prophet Muhammad There are two very significant remarks about John the Baptist made by Jesus Christ, but recorded in a mysterious way.

The… Continue reading The Prophet Foretold By The Baptist Was Certainly Prophet Muhammad

The Baptism Of John And Jesus Only A Type Of Religious Marking "Sibghatullah" (1) "The (indelible religious) marking of Allah. And who marks better than Allah! And for Him we are worshipers." (Qur’an 2:138) It is a great pity that the Evangelists have not left us a complete and detailed account of the sermon of… Continue reading The Baptism Of John And Jesus

The "Sibghatullah," Or The Baptism With The Holy Spirit And With Fire One of the few religious phenomena I have not been able to explain is this: How is it that the well-known Saba’ltes (Sabians), so predominant in the Arabian peninsula and Mesopotamia, did not embrace Christianity if the Prophet John the Baptist had really… Continue reading The “Sibghatullah,” Or The Baptism With The Holy Spirit And With Fire

Chapter 21 The Son Of Man According To The Jewish Apocalypses From what has been already discussed in these pages it will have been that the appellation "Barnasha," or "the Son of Man," is not a title like "Messiah," that could be applied to every prophet, high-priest, and legally anointed king; but that it is… Continue reading The Son Of Man According To The Jewish Apocalypses

The Prophet Of Arabia As Spoken Of In The Bible "The Burden Upon Arabia" – Isaiah xxi. 13.
