Psalm 116, 117 and 118:
It is first of all important to know that the Psalms of David, while they are
narrated by him, but they do contain many prophecies about the coming of Jesus
Christ or the Messiah. The New Testament had made many references to many
of the Psalms verses and linked them to Jesus Christ. Also, we've already seen how
Psalm 91 clearly
and indisputably prophesied about Christ will never get crucified,
and we've seen how the New Testament referenced this Psalm. It is very
important that you pay close attention to Psalm 91:3, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 15
below. These verses speak about:
GOD Almighty will hear his cries (Psalm 91:15) and
will
save him (Psalm
91:3).
GOD Almighty will cover him with His Protection (Psalm
91:4).
Christ will then not have any fear in him (Psalm
91:5).
Christ will then observe with his own eyes the punishment of the
crucified ones (Psalm 91:8).
No harm (this includes
crucifixion!) or disaster will even come near Christ (Psalm
91:10....this even contradicts him getting beaten up before crucifixion).
GOD Almighty will send down the Angels
to
protect him and lift him (Psalm 91:11-12,
14, Isaiah 52:13).
Not even his foot will strike
the ground from his enemies pushing, grappling and punishment.
Christ's call
will be HEARD, and he will be delivered and honored (Psalm
91:15, Isaiah 52:13). No way would these verses
be valid if Christ got crucified.
His life will be prolonged (extended) and he will live to even see his
offspring (Isaiah 53:10 and Psalm 91:16, which by the way contradict
Jesus never got married and had children. In Islam's
Noble Quran's 13:38, however, it is quite possible that
Jesus Christ had wives and children).
Important Note:
Psalm 91 is speaking as a number of Prophecies that
WILL take place.
Notice how the verses are speak of future events that
WILL TAKE PLACE. Never
once throughout the entire New Testament were the Angels sent to
save Jesus from striking his foot against a rock. This,
again, clearly proves that the NT is indeed false and corrupt.
With this said, let us now look at the
following chapters from the book of Psalm:
(a)- Psalm 116:
Psalm 116
1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard
my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD:
"O LORD, save me!"
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD protects the simplehearted; when I
was in great need, he
saved me.(See Psalm 91:3, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 15 below)
7 Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8 For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul
from death, my eyes from tears, my feet
from stumbling,
9 that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed; therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted."
11 And in my dismay I said, "All men are liars."
12 How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16 O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your
maidservant; you have freed me from my chains.(See Psalm 91:3, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 15
below)
17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the
presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the house of the LORD— in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise
the LORD.
There few points to notice here:
1- In Psalm
116:3, we see the Messiah fearing the pain of the grave and death.
2- As similarly mentioned in
Psalm 91,
where GOD Almighty specifically said that He will send down His Angels to lift and save the Messiah from any and all
harm, we see again in Psalm 116:6 GOD Almighty
answering the Prayers of the Messiah and Saving him from any and all harm.
3- In Psalm
116:8, we see the Messiah confirming that GOD Almighty indeed saved him
from the pain of the grave and death. It does not at all say or mean that
Jesus did die and then was risen from the dead, because again,
Psalm 116:6 says that GOD Almighty will save him,
and in Psalm 116:4 we see that Christ or the
Messiah have called upon GOD Almighty to save him.
4- In Psalm
116:13, we see a clear prophecy about the "Cup of Salvation" that
is referenced in the following New Testament verses:
5- In Psalm
116:16-18, we see the Messiah thanking and praising GOD Almighty for
freeing him from the "chains", which is referring
to the chains, the nails and the cross that Jesus was never even was
harmed with(see Psalm 91:3, 8, 10,
11, 12 and 15 below), and then him walking down preaching to people
his thanksgivings to GOD Almighty and fulfilling his vows to Him, the Almighty.
This point is further proven in the following verses in Psalm 91 and Psalm 118.
(Pay attention to the
red text
below, especially in Psalm
91:11-12, 15 and the others)
Psalm 91
1 He who dwells
in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of
the Almighty. [a] 2 I will say
[b]
of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in
whom I trust." 3Surely he
will save you
from the fowler's snare and from the
deadly pestilence. 4He will
cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you
will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and
rampart. 5You will
not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that
flies by day, 6 nor the
pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that
destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may
fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it
will not come near you. 8You will
only observe with your eyesand see the punishment of the
wicked.
(According to the Noble Quran and the
original writings
of the Disciples of Jesus,
Jesus was not crucified, and he watched the
crucifixion of the doomed person.
Also, according to the
Apocalypse of Peter that was discovered in Egypt,
Jesus sat on the tree and watched the crucified one getting
crucified. Peter witnessed this and wrote the
Apocalypse. Not only that, but while Christians insist
that the book is a Gnostic one, but according to
Wikipedia.org, "It
is unclear whether this text advocates an
adoptionist (Jesus was Divine) or
docetist
(Jesus' body and crucifixion were an
illusion)
christology"
So there is no proof that the book is Gnostic.)
9 If you make the
Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10then no
harm will befall you, no disaster will come near
your tent.
11For he
will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways; 12they
will lift you up in their hands,so
that you will not strike
your foot against a stone.
(If Jesus died on the cross and got buried, then his feet
would've struck the ground and the stones on it from
bringing him down, throwing him on the
floor and burying him).
13 You will tread
upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion
and the serpent.
14 "Because he
loves me,"
says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him,
for he
acknowledges my name.
15He will
call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with
him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life
will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
There is no question that the emphasized parts above, especially
in Psalm 91:11-12, 15 and others, clearly and indisputably agree with the Noble
Quran and Isaiah 52:13! Jesus was neither crucified nor
resurrected, and he was protected and lifted by GOD Almighty. Also, the New Testament, again, confirms that Psalm 91 is referring to Jesus Christ.
(b)- Psalm 117-118:
Psalm 117
1 Praise the LORD, all you nations; extol him, all you
peoples.
2 For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures
forever. Praise the LORD.
This is a very short chapter.
Psalm 118
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love
endures forever.
2 Let Israel say: "His love endures forever."
3 Let the house of Aaron say: "His love endures forever."
4 Let those who fear the LORD say: "His love endures forever."
5 In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and he answered by setting me free.
6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to
me?
7 The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies.
8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
11 They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
12 They swarmed around me like bees, but they died out as quickly as burning
thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
13 I was pushed back and about to fall, but the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
15 Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The LORD's
right hand has done mighty things!
16 The LORD's right hand is lifted high; the LORD's right hand has done mighty
things!"
17 I
will not die but live, and will
proclaim what the LORD has done.
18 The LORD has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the
LORD.
20 This is the gate of the LORD through which the righteous may enter.
21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.
22 The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone;(See Matthew
21:42-43 below)
23 the LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25 O LORD, save us; O LORD, grant us success.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD
we bless you.
27 The LORD is God, and he has made his light shine upon us. With boughs in
hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt
you.
29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
There few points to notice here:
1- Like we've seen in
Psalm 91 and 116 above, we see in
Psalm 118:5-6 how GOD Almighty answered the Messiah
and had Set him free before suffering the pain of torture and death. The
Messiah also says that man has no power of him in verse
Psalm 118:6.
2- In Psalm 118:18, we see that
while GOD Almighty will allow a great deal of fear to enter Jesus' heart (see
this article for more details), but in the end Jesus Christ will
not die.
3- In regards to
Psalm 118:22, we it clearly referenced in the New
Testament in the following verses, which, again, prove that
Psalms 91, 116-118 and many others were, indeed,
referring to Jesus Christ - the coming Messiah:
Again and again, we see the book of Psalm confirming Islam and falsifying the
false religion of Christianity. The New Testament's accounts are all
false, lies and gossips that were invented by people. It is a proven fact
that
the
Bible's own theologians admit that its books and gospels had all
been:
Written by mysterious men.
Written by an unknown number of men.
Written in unknown places.
Written in unknown dates.
Paul never even met Jesus Christ in person while
the latter was on earth. It is falsely claimed that Jesus appeared to
Paul while Paul was on his way to Damascus after the "crucifixion" (Acts
9:2-4. Note: Paul's name used
to be Saul. Yet, Paul admittedly
wasn't
even sure whether the Holy Spirit was inspirning him or not).
None of the disciples, even in the false writings
attributed to them, ever claimed that their writings were inspired or
Divine. Not only that, but we even ironically see that:
Luke for instance, wrote his "gospel" for the
sake of another person and not GOD Almighty. See below for
details.
The disciples even fought with each others [1]
[2].
We read about direct invitations to dinner and
other occasions between the disciples in the "books" [1].
According to the commentaries below, all of
the books of the bible were altered and corrupted.
Is written in third-party narrations, which is why we find in all of the
gospels' titles
"This gospel
according to....", and countless verses that speak about
the disciples and about their activities in third-party narrations [1]
[2]
[3]
[4],
which proves that the books and gospels were certainly not written by them.
This also means that much gossips and exaggerations and fabrications
were made up and inserted into the books and gospels. So even if
some people back then thought that Jesus was crucified, they in reality
never actually saw it. It could very well be that they've only
heard about it from a neighboring town and believed it. There are
certainly in the books and gospels:
Too much gossips.
Too wide of date gaps by the decades [1]
[2]
[3]
[4] between when the supposed
event took place and when it was actually written, by hand, in the
corrupt gospels.
Too many unknown people wrote the stories.
Too many Prophecies in the Old Testament that promise that Jesus
Christ, the Messiah, will be saved from the crucifixion.
Too many mistranslations and desperate misinterpretations in
Isaiah 53 and elsewhere.
So now based on what objective grounds should we reject the claim
about the Bible's New Testament's accounts being mostly false and
fabricated by men? And again, as I mentioned in the conclusion
section, I strongly recommend visiting the following links:
I also want to end this rebuttal with the following verses from the Holy
Quran, and the Bible's Old and New Testaments:
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the
Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there
is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (From the NIV
Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4)"
"The most important one,"
answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God,
the Lord is one. (From the
NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"
""Why
do you call me good?" Jesus
answered. "No one is
good–except God alone."
(From the NIV Bible, Mark 10:18)"
"God
is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he
should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not
fulfill? (From the NIV Bible, Numbers 23:19)"
Indeed, Jesus Christ, the man, is only a Messenger from Allah Almighty, and
he was never crucified.
May Allah Almighty enable you to see the Light and the Truth of Islam. And
may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our beloved and
blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad. Ameen.
Also, Hebrews 5:7-8 confirm Islam's claim about
Jesus never got crucified and contradicts the Bible!
According to the documentary film, "Banned from
the Bible", which I watched on the History Channel, some of Saint Peter's apocalypse were banned
from the current Bible, and these Epistles contain what Islam claims - that
Jesus didn't get crucified on the cross and it only appeared that he was.
This banned part also says that Jesus was standing next to the cross laughing.
These are the parts of the Bible that only few people in the world know about.
