False messiahs to come Jesus prophecy

Jesus' Original Name: Eesa: The Holy Quran calls the Messiah Eesa.  See article below.  "Jesus" is also called Eesa in Luke 5:31, Matthew 9:12, Mark 2:17 (Source).  Prophet Jesus' original name was Eesa, as this is also his Islamic name عيسى, and it also happens to be a Hebrew word that means doctor: Our Islam's Messiah Eesa, peace be upon him, is also called by the Christians and the Jews in Latin, Iesu, and in Greek Iesus, and in Hebrew the name means doctor:    In Hebrew, Asa (אסא pronounced as eesa: /ˈeɪsə/ or /ˈeɪzə/) means doctor or healer: "Asa is a given name in several parts of the world. In English, the usual pronunciation is /ˈeɪsə/ or /ˈeɪzə/......Asa: a Hebrew name meaning healer and/or physician (Ase)." (Source).  It is also a royal and kingly name, and it was the name of the third king of Judah; Eesa. (Source)    Jesus' miracles were all medical ones like healing leprosy, blindness, and the sick in general.  Again, our Messiah Eesa, peace be upon him, is called in Latin, Iesu, and in Greek he is called Iesus, and in Hebrew the name means doctor.  There is also a great deal of evidence that Jesus spoke and preached in Arabic.  Not only that, but Greek wasn't even that popular in Palestine.  Arabic was proven to be between 8,000 to 20,000 years old by archeologists.  Islam's claims are very strongly supported.  See proofs further below.  Jesus' miracles were almost entirely medical ones that focused almost entirely on healing the sick.  Jesus also called himself doctor: Luke 5:31, Matthew 9:12, Mark 2:17 Jesus answered them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor--sick people do.    Arabic is estimated to date back 8000 to 20000 years according to non-Muslim researchers.  Jesus also preached in Arabic.  Also, Hebrew was almost dead and is mostly extinct.  Much of modern Hebrew was borrowed from Arabic and Aramaic. "bar Allahin" in Daniel 3:25-26 means the chosen one of Allah    Muslim will replace Sons and Daughters of GOD titles (Isaiah 56:5, 65:15, Luke 6:40) Palestine 1948:  The invaded unwalled Israel Ezekiel prophecy (Ezekiel 38:10-11; Ezekiel 43:2-4, Hosea 13:15).       GOD will then come from the "east" and liberate it (Ezekiel 43:2-4, Hosea 13:15).    Miracles in Medicine: Jesus' miracles were almost entirely medical ones that focused almost entirely on healing the sick.  Jesus also called himself doctor: Luke 5:31, Matthew 9:12, Mark 2:17 Jesus answered them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor--sick people do.    In the mostly lost original Hebrew and Aramaic of Jesus' original Gospel, that must've been Eesa عيسى.    Also according to the Glorious Quran in Noble Verse 19:30,  Jesus did not identify himself by any name at first.  He later became Eesa (the doctor; healer; physician), just like he also later became the Messiah: [019:030] The infant said, "I am the servant of Allah! He appointed me His messenger, and granted me the gospel.” [005:075] The Messiah, son of Marium is but an apostle;.. So it makes perfect sense that people used to call the Messiah Eesa (ˈeɪsə), because of his miraculous healing powers, and also for being the king of the Jews.  Luke 5:31, Matthew 9:12, Mark 2:17 above strongly support this.  The Jews pronounce the name as Eesa (ˈeɪsə):    Did early Christians preach Prophet Muhammad in Rome?  (scroll down) False messiahs to come Jesus prophecy. Jesus healed thousands in the NT.  So he was definitely a miraculous Eesa عيسى. Will Jesus be born of a virgin when he returns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asa_(given_name)    Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name.  Sons and Daughters of GOD titles will be replaced; the prophecy says.  Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40.    Muslim will replace Sons and Daughters of GOD titles (Isaiah 56:5, 65:15, Luke 6:40) Palestine 1948:  The invaded unwalled Israel Ezekiel prophecy (Ezekiel 38:10-11; Ezekiel 43:2-4, Hosea 13:15).       GOD will then come from the "east" and liberate it (Ezekiel 43:2-4, Hosea 13:15). Quran:  All Bibles are filled with  corrupt قول  qaowl (doctrines of sayings and writings. See also Hafs vs. Warsh Quran).  Jesus' apostles also fought conflicts against each other. Arabic is estimated to date back 8000 to 20000 years according to non-Muslim researchers.  Jesus also preached in Arabic.  Also, Hebrew was almost dead and is mostly extinct.  Much of modern Hebrew was borrowed from Arabic and Aramaic.

The Romans had to fake his crucifixion due to Passover issues: [1]                 Did early Christians preach Prophet Muhammad in Rome?    It is important to know that the following seven Roman Emperors have thoroughly burned all (burnt all) of the early believers' writings: 1.  Nero (54-68) 2.  Domitian (81-96) 3.  Marcus Aurelius (161-180) 4.  Septimius Severus (193-211; up to a point) 5.  Maximinius I Thrax (235-8; up to a point) 6.  Trajanus Decius (249-251) 7.  Valerian (253-260) Read all the details with references here.  Also visit: How big was the first New Testament?  The first 200 years of pagan christianity was forged by the pagan churches that were appeasing to the pagan emperors and societies.  This is how churches were allowed to be built and for christianity to spread.  But they are all false; unoriginal and not Islam as the original believers were in Palestine.  Remember, Jesus called them Muslims (Luke 6:40). Just who were the authors of the Bibles? False messiahs to come Jesus prophecy. The Roman massacres also wiped out the original texts.  What we have today from "gospels" and "New Testament" were written 100 years to 300 years after Jesus' departure from this earth.  So, the current writings that we have are not original writings.  Also, to appease the Roman Empire's 3-headed pagan religion and practices, the pagan 3-headed trinity was invented [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].  Many lies had been fabricated after the original writings were all lost.  The Jews and Christians of Arabia, however, did have writings that predicted the coming of Prophet Muhammad.  These were some of the original texts that survived. Arabic was proven to be between 8,000 to 20,000 years old by archeologists.  The Middle East and North and Middle Africa all speak Arabic with different dialects.  While some words are different because they are borrowed from other local laguage (ex: Azeezi means dear, while Iraqis say Aghati), but 90% of the Arabic vocabulary are the same.  Islam came to free the Jews from the "burdens and shackles" (7:157) of their hardened Law, and to free the Christians from their "conjecture" (4:157), and to restore the Original Divine Religion of GOD Almighty, Islam, and to invite all of Mankind to Allah Almighty's Light and Guidance of Islam.  It is also worth mentioning that out of all disbelievers, the Christians carry the most love towards the Muslims, because they have many among them "who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant." (Quran, 5:82) Quran:  All Bibles are filled with  corrupt قول  qaowl (doctrines of sayings and writings. See also Hafs vs. Warsh Quran).  Jesus' apostles also fought conflicts against each other. Ask me any question section    "Arabia has not yet met its threshold..." (Jeremiah 51:33)    To address the lack of evidence regarding the deaths of Jesus' disciples, consider the following points: Historical records of the disciples' deaths are largely absent or anecdotal. Most accounts of their martyrdom come from later traditions, not contemporary sources. Early Christian writings focus more on their teachings than their deaths. The absence of reliable documentation raises questions about the accuracy of martyrdom claims. Many stories of their deaths may have been embellished over time for theological purposes.

Isaiah 42:10-13: GOD will sing a New Song  from Arabia via the gentile Prophet who will come from the Jews' "brothers" (Deuteronomy 18:18).  The Ishmaelites are the brothers of the Israelites.  Also, only Islam fulfilled Deuteronomy's army of 10,000 Believers (Deuteronomy 33:2).  The New Testament also renews this Prophecy and claims it is yet to be fulfilled in the future.  Also, Ishmael's Covenant was left for the "later generations".  Also in Jeremiah 31:31-32, it will be a new Covenant different from the one that was given to Moses..  The future Covenant is also from Arabia:    300 years before Islam, Paran was Mecca    <--------------------- Hebrew is read from right to left "אתמך" (Atmk)  X     k   m   t   a "אחמד" (Ahmd) ✔     d   m   h   a Also the  ת (t) and  ח (h) look very similar.  Both have pointy edges on the top and bottom left of their edges.  The scribes did also write those exactly the same.

Alaha is true and Allah is false??  Says the braying donkeys and lying frauds of the Middle East (i.e., the frauds from the Arabic-speaking Middle Eastern Christians and Jews).  Is there anything called Alaha (aa-laaa-haa) in Semitic languages?? 300 years before Islam, Paran was Mecca Jesus and OT spoke highly of Palestinians and Arabs as great and genuine believers of GOD Almighty. Jesus and OT Prophets had high regard for Palestinians and Arabs in general: Then GOD will come from the "East" to liberate the Holy Land (Ezekiel 43:2-4, Hosea 13:15) = the rise of future Islam after evil's total global domination: Palestine 1948:  The invaded unwalled Israel Ezekiel prophecy: Palestine 1948: The invaded unwalled Israel Ezekiel prophecy (Ezekiel 38:10-11; Ezekiel 43:2-4, Hosea 13:15).  GOD will then come from the "east" and liberate it (Ezekiel 43:2-4, Hosea 13:15). "Muslims" was the original title Isaiah 53 mistranslations Arabia's burden is an honorable burden (ample Bible verses declare this).    Muslim will replace Sons and Daughters of GOD titles (Isaiah 56:5, 65:15, Luke 6:40) Palestine 1948:  The invaded unwalled Israel Ezekiel prophecy (Ezekiel 38:10-11; Ezekiel 43:2-4, Hosea 13:15).       GOD will then come from the "east" and liberate it (Ezekiel 43:2-4, Hosea 13:15).

Zechariah 8:23:  The grabbing of the believers' sleeves by the disbelievers, and the disbelievers will beg the believers to lead them to the Truth in Zecharyah 8:23 prophecy is fully about Islam.   "Arabia has not yet met its threshold..." (Jeremiah 51:33)    To address the lack of evidence regarding the deaths of Jesus' disciples, consider the following points: Historical records of the disciples' deaths are largely absent or anecdotal. Most accounts of their martyrdom come from later traditions, not contemporary sources. Early Christian writings focus more on their teachings than their deaths. The absence of reliable documentation raises questions about the accuracy of martyrdom claims. Many stories of their deaths may have been embellished over time for theological purposes. Archaeological evidence supporting their deaths is minimal or non-existent.

"Jesus" - Remembering his true name:
An Etymological Analysis of the Historical Sources
(Second Edition, updated Dec. 18,2000)

by Shibli Zaman  

INTRODUCTION

Sadly, we have seen Christian Missionary activity focused primarily on derailing Islam now more than any other period in history. Thus, we witness numerous charades and parodies coming from them in their attempts to twist, manipulate and outright molest historical and etymological facts. These polemics range from a variety of utterly hilarious to outright abusive and cruel. However, as a disclaimer, a distinction should be made between the "Christian Missionary" and the Christian. The view of Christians in Islam is a benevolent one:

"And nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant." [al-Qur'an, Surat al-Maa'idah, 5:82]

On the other hand, the "Christian Missionary" variety is in a genre of its own. Their tactics have been seen the world over, whereby they maintain a "Bread for Bibles" policy in the indigent third world, and are even seen dressed as Muslim clerics teaching the Bible in Arabic to unwitting non-Arab Muslims who are told they are learning the Qur'an. Such deception and forceful proselytization saw its early dawn in the Crusaders of the last millenium who sojourned across Europe to displace the Muslims from Jerusalem. However, in the end it was their own undoing and they only succeeded in permanently destroying and weakening their Christian brethren in Byzantium by sacking its capital, Constantinople. Likewise, the Christian Missionary movement has only bred their own undoing: My genre. As the first word in our Qur'an is "Read", thus when we meet the Missionaries and their claims we read everything about their scripture to the point that we learn it better than they themselves. In the end such refutations are produced to which rebuttals are impossible and the result is Islam being the fastest growing religion in the Christian world, in spite of their efforts to derail Islam's insurmountable growth worldwide.

One such dishonest Christian Missionary polemic has been the allegation that when the Qur'an uses the name "`Eesa" for Jesus it was actually a mistake on the part of the Prophet Muhammad . They allege that out of contempt, the Jews called Jesus "Esau" after the rejected brother of Jacob as recorded in the Book of Genesis. Having supposedly heard this disparaging epithet for Jesus from the Jews, the Christian Missionaries allege that he recorded it by accident in the Qur'an as the name of Jesus   (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).

I. BY WHAT NAME IS JESUS CALLED IN THE QUR'AN? 

The Muslim world knows Jesus Christ as "al-MaseeHu `Eesa" meaning "Jesus the Messiah". This is illustrated in the following verse of the Qur'

"When the angels said to Mary, 'O Mary! Allah gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him. His name will be 'al-MaseeHu `Eesa', the son of Mary; Honorable in this world and in the hereafter, and from those who are near (to Allah)." [al-Qur'aan, Surah Aal-`Imraan, 3:45]

	- "al-MaseeHu `Eesa" - "al-MaseeH" is Arabic for " The Messiah" and "`Eesa" is the name used for  Jesus in the Qur'an.

II. IS THIS NAME "`EESA" A DERIVATIVE OF "ESAU" THE DISAVOWED BROTHER OF JACOB?

The names "`Eshaw" and "`Eesa" are completely unrelated etymologically and lexically. "Esau" is Latinization of the Biblical Hebrew name for Jacob's twin brother, `Eshaw, who was disavowed. This name is spelled:

`Eshaw -   -  "AYN, SHIN, WAW"; Pronounced "`Ee" (like "see") + "shaw" (like "saw" with additional stress).

The corresponding word for this in Arabic is A`thaa with the trilateral root "AYN, THAA, YAA". This word, likewise, means covered with hair. In Ibn ManTHoor's cohesive and authoritative work on the Arabic language entitled "Lisaan al-`Arab" (The Arabic Tongue), he states:

"`Athaa: al-`athaa: Having a murky color with an abundance of hair; al-a`tha: an abundance of ugly and coarse hair;  i.e. al-untha `athwaa' (fem. "hairy woman", i.e. hag); al-`uthwatu: coarse head hair, matted in spite of being combed; `athi: old person's hair; `athwaa, a`thaa, perhaps a reference to a hairy man is "a`thi"; an old man is "`athwaa'"; a`tha: Hyenas.."  ["`Athaa" Lisaan al-`Arab, Ibn ManTHoor]

About the name of Jacob's twin brother "Esau", Gesenius' Hebrew Lexicon states:

		(Left) Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon of the Old Testament, H.W.F. Gesenius, 6215, page 658; the page was scanned for indisputable authenticity of sources.

Note that Gesenius himself refers to the Arabic word "`Athaa" as it is the obviously correlating word to "`Eshaw". The Qur'anic name for Jesus is not related by any stretch of etymology to the words "`Eshaw", or "`Athaa'".

Thus, for the Missionaries to argue any further that the Qur'anic name "`Eesa" for Jesus has any relation to the Hebrew name for Jacob's disavowed twin brother is to dispute canonized authorities in Semitic etymology and to further discredit themselves.

JESUS' NAME ACCORDING TO CHRISTIANITY

III. WAS JESUS' NAME "YAHUSHUWA`" OR "YESHUA`" AND DID BOTH MEAN "SAVIOR"?

Was his name "Yahushuwa`"?

 - YAHUSHUWA` - This is theorized to be a combination of "Yahweh" and "Yasha`" meaning "Jehovah is Salvation". This was the name of Moses' companion Joshua Ben-Nun who is referred to as "Yasa`" in the Qur'an.

One will find this quoted repeatedly in Christian polemics trying to prove the historicity of Jesus   (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). However, this is erroneous due to the following reasons: First this mentions someone named "Yeshua`" and not "Yahushuwa`" who was hung on the eve of Passover. Second, there is nothing to say or support that this was the Biblical "Jesus". As will be further illustrated in the next section, both the names "Yeshua`" and "Yahushuwa`" were very common amongst the Israelites prior to Jesus' lifetime (see also Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus). This brings us to our next supposition regarding his name.

Was his name "Yeshua`"?

 - Yeshua` - This name is rooted in the word "yasha`"  meaning "safety" in Hebrew. Christians attempt to proselytize their theories of a "man-god" Jesus by saying this name of his meant "Salvation". The Problem with that theory is the fact that this name means "He is saved". 
If he is God then who saved him? If this name is a sign of divinity then what of the others with the name Yeshua`? Were they the "only begotten son of God" as well? Obviously not, as no Jews ever held this erroneous idea.

Each and every one of these people have the name "Yeshua`" spelled exactly how the Christians allege Jesus' supposed original name is spelled. However as we can see, this name was transliterated into "Jeshua" by the early Biblical writers and not "Jesus" or "Ieosus". Why then is Jesus the only one named "Jesus" in the entirety of the Bible and, moreover, in the entirety of any recorded history of his time? It is because his name was unique and neither "Yeshua`" or "Yehushuwa`" were his name.

As we can see "Yehushuwa`" and "Yeshua`" were not special or unique names, yet they were very common. However, "Jesus" remains a name very unique to this Messianic character shrouded in controversy. There is no historical record of Jesus being called by either of these names in his lifetime (see also Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus). Even if "Yeshua`" were the name of Jesus it would completely obliterate the Christian position that he was the "Savior" of mankind, since this name does not mean "Savior" but means "He is saved". This would further support the Muslim belief that Jesus was saved from the ignominy of crucifixion and ascended up to heaven alive.

	(Left) Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament, H. W. F. Gesenius, p 373]
	As can be seen here plainly, the name "Yeshua`" means "Saved". Christian religionists attempt to say this name means "Savior". This is scholastic guile and a statement made in complete absence of even a basic understanding of the Biblical languages. If Jesus' name was indeed, "Yeshua`" it would only support the historically sound theory that Jesus' was not resurrected but survived the crucifixion. Thus, he would be true to this name. However, as we have seen the likelihood that this was his name is extremely thin.

Note: I deleted this portion of the previous article for the sake of relevance and brevity. It dealt with other usages of the word "yasha`" in the Old Testament. Click here to read this part in the previous version. I did not feel it was necessary to go over so many examples of this word in the Old Testament in Hebrew.

Similar to there being a complete absence of any reference to Jesus in history as "Yahushuwa`", there is likewise, a complete void of information linking Jesus to the name "Yeshua`" in his lifetime (see also Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus). The Talmud was written between 300-600 A.D. Other commonly quoted books like the "Toledoth Yeshua`" were satires written to defame Christianity as late as the 10th century A.D. nearly 1000 years after Jesus   (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). Ironically, from the disparaging writings against Jesus came the Arabic "Yesu`" as they are the only source for this name being attributed to Jesus in the Middle East. The Christian world is left at a loss to find a historical Jesus who fits the description given in their sadly sparse Biblical sources.

---

IV. COULD HIS NAME HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN "JESUS"?

Initially, I had left out this part of the article in order to avoid blemishing the sensitivities of the Christian reader. However, after much dialog and discussion after that first article, I found it most necessary to share these historical accounts. I implore the Christian readers to take no offense in this, and to simply take the facts as they are. I encourage all to let this inspire them to research and check my sources. Let there be no doubt.

There remains a bitter dilemma for those who wish to assert that "Jesus" has any relevance to what the historical figures name actually was. Whether it was Yeshu` or Yeheshuwa` the Jews would have been forbidden to mention him by name.  Jewish law explicity forbids mentioning the name of criminals against God or their deities.

"And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods neither let it be heard out of they mouth." [Exodus 23:13]

Thus, in order to write about Jesus without mentioning his name and, thereby, breaching the law; they wrote the acronym "Y'SHW" which stood for:

  "Yemach Shmo w'Zikro" meaning "May his name and memory be blotted out".

"It is no wonder that Jews considered the Christian belief as simple idolatry and felt obligated to apply the Law in Exodus 23:13: "Make no mention of the name of other Gods" to the name, Jesus   (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). Naturally, the name of one of the truest and best Jewish teachers had to be shunned."
[Jesus the Jew - The Historical Jesus, The True Story of Jesus, Moses Bazes, Jerusalem, 1979]

"...it may be assumed that this shortening of the name was probably an intentional mutilation by cutting off part of it. The rabbis mention other instances of the names of persons being shortened because of their misconduct.." [Jesus in the Talmud, Jacob Lauterbach (Rabbinic Essays, Cincinnati, 1951, pp. 473-570),

From this abbreviated curse of "Yemach Shmo w'Zikro" (Y'SHW) the Greeks hellenized the name to "Ieosus" which later was Anglicized to "Jesus" by the King James' translators of the Bible   (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). As shocking as the facts are, all are encouraged to research this subject in detail.

Thus, if Jesus' name had been "Jesus", and had he indeed proclaimed himself a literal "Son of God" and "God", then the Jews would have never made mention of his actual name due to Exodus 23:13. Thus, by hearing the Jews call Jesus "Y'SHW" and reading it in their writings, the Greeks based their transliteration of his name based upon this sad and horrible insult to the Messiah of the Jewish people. As it may be to the horror of many, mentioning the name "Jesus" is to actually curse him. Therefore, it is impossible that his name was ever Y'SHW-Ieosus-Jesus   (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). For 2000 years the Messiah of the Jews has been inadvertently recorded as a curse.

V. THE ARAMAIC JESUS: WHAT IS JESUS' NAME IN THE LANGUAGE WHICH HE SPOKE?

Jesus and even the earliest Christians spoke Aramaic. Much of the Old Testament, such as the Book of Daniel, was originally in Aramaic though a large bulk of those codices are lost forever. Neither the Greek of the Textus Receptus upon which the New Testament is based, nor the Hebrew of the standardized Tanach upon which the Old Testament is loosely based were their native tongues.

Jesus spoke Aramaic. Thus, the New Testament would have to be dependent upon it. Much of the Old Testament was in Aramaic as well, and the earliest Christian societies throughout Arabia from Palestine, to Syria, to Nabataea spoke Aramaic. So what is Jesus' name in Aramaic?

"Eesho M'sheekha" meaning "Jesus the Messiah".

- Syriac. Syriac is a late variant of Aramaic widespread in Christendom, thus coined "Christian Aramaic".
 - Aramaic. Taken directly from the "Peshitta".
 - Aramaic. Peshitta; with diacritical marks.

VI. THE STAR OF THE MESSIAH (NUMBERS 24:17) = THE NORTHERN STAR (MATTHEW 2)

Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament states the following:

The Hebrew word "`Esh" is by definition a bright northern star or stars in the Ursa Major constellation. Ursa Major is translated into "Big Bear". More specifically heed the note in the side margin which is displayed to the right. "Eesh" is also a reference to "the constellation of the bear" which is the same Northern constellation mentioned previously. 

H.W.F. Gesenius goes on to illustrate the collaborative relationship between the Hebrew word "`Esh" and the Arabic word "`Aasa" and "`Essa" and defines this as "nightly watcher". Immediately this begins to collaborate in great detail with the Qur'an. The Chapter entitled "al-Taariq" meaning "The Nightly Visitant" states in verses 1-3:

"By the Night and the Nightly Visitant. And what will be expounded to you regarding the Nightly Visitant. It is a star of piercing brightness." [al-Qur'aan, Surat al-Taariq, 86:1-3]

Regarding Verse 3 of this Chapter, the Master Qur'an interpreter, Imam Suyuti states in his book "al-Durr al-Manthoor fee Tafseer al-Ma'thoor":

"And it has been narrated that Ibn Jareer said, by the report of Mujaahid, about the verse: "It is a star of piercing brightness" that this means the star of Pleiades." ["al-Durr al-Manthoor fee Tafseer al-Ma'thoor", Jalal ad-Deen al-Suyuti, under "Surat al-Taariq"]

"Ibn Zayd stated, Verily, it is the star of Pleiades." [Imam Qurtubi, Tafseer al-Qurtubi, under "Surat al-Taariq"]

Thus, the Qur'an also refers to the star of Pleiades of Taurus ("Thaur ath-Thurayyah") as a "nightly visitant". The correlation is clear and the consistency between the Qur'an and early pre-Biblical prophetic thought, as old as 2000 years before its compilation, is to its credit.

But what does the "Star" have to do with

First and foremost, it is probably one of the most historically significant signs of the Messiah foretold.

"I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel..." [Numbers 24:17]

"Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." [Matthew 2:2]

Chapter 2 of Matthew details the Magi following the North Star in search of the Jewish Messiah. It was the most well known sign of the Messiah.

The Hebrew word in this verse for "Star" in this verse is "Kokab" . From this word "Kokab" came the title "Kokhba" which was given unto Simeon bar-Koziba when he was endorsed as the Messiah by the revolutionary Jewish Rabbi, Akiba ben-Yosef.

"Rabbi Akiba ben Joseph, a highly esteemed teacher of the period, enthusiastically supported the rebels and conferred the name Bar Kokhba (Son of the Star) upon their leader. Akiba also hailed him as the Messiah." [Encyclopedia Britannica, Reference Index V, page 872]

As Bar-Kokhba was falsely assumed as the Messiah he was killed in battle against the Romans in the year 135 A.D. Regarding the "Star" being the sign of the Messiah:

The Theological Word Book of the Old Testament which is a compilation of entries from Brown-Driver-Briggs and Gesenius defines "Kokab" as:
"1. star - a. of Messiah, brothers, youth, numerous progeny, personification, God's omniscience." 
[Theological Word Book of the Old Testament, Brown-Driver-Briggs, H.W.F. Gesenius]

Prophets are named after the events surrounding their birth

Adam -  ("Aadam") - meaning "ruddy"; perhaps from -  ("Dum") - meaning "blood"; Also related to ("Adamah") - meaning tilled earth, ie from which the first man, Adam, was created.

"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." [Genesis 2:7]

Noah -  ("Noakh") from ("Nookh") - meaning "To Rest". His name is explained to mean "rest" at the time of his birth in the following verse:
"And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed." [Genesis 5:29]

Isaac - ("Yitzhaq") - from  ("Tzahaq") -  meaning "to laugh" or "he laughs". This name being chosen at the sime surrounding his birth is seen in the following verse: "And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. Then Abraham fell upon his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear the a son indeed; and thou shall call his name Isaac.." [Genesis 17:16-19]

Ishmael - ("Yishmaael") - from ("shama`") "to hear" and  ("ale") "God" - meaning "God heard". God announces that He has heard Abraham and his wife Hagar's prayers and gives the name "Ishmael" to the baby, meaning that He had heard their prayers.
"And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael, because the LORD hath heard they affliction." [Genesis 16:11]

Moses -  ("Moshe") - Meaning "Drawn out" since Moses was "drawn out" from the river as a baby in the basket.
"And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water." [Exodus 2:10]

The Birth of Jesus: Contradictions and Unfulfilled Prophecies

Jesus' birth is mentioned twice in the Gospels in two dramatically different and contradictory accounts. Once in the Gospel of Matthew and the other in the Gospel of Luke. The Gospels of Mark and John start with John the Baptists' advent in Jesus' adulthood. Between the birth accounts of Matthew and Luke we find a striking contradiction.

JESUS' BIRTH ACCORDING TO MATTHEW:

"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." [Matthew 1:21-23]

First of all, it is odd that no one is ever recorded calling Jesus "Emmanuel" anywhere in the Bible   (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). This was an attempt to match Jesus to a supposed prophecy in Isaiah 7:14. The fact that this verse was in no way a prophecy to the coming of Jesus is that the child called Emmanuel was born and referred to immediately after this verse. Let us look at the context:

"Now it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham... that Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but could not prevail against it." [Isaiah 7:1]

 "Moreover the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 'Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above.' But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord!" Then he said, "Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel." [Isaiah 7:10-14]

"Moreover the Lord said to me, "Take a large scroll, and write on it with a man's pen concerning Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz..Then I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the Lord said to me, "Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz;...He will pass through Judah, He will overflow and pass over, He will reach up to the neck; And the stretching out of his wings Will fill the breadth of Your land, O Immanuel." [Isaiah 8:1-8]

You don't have to be a Biblical scholar to see, the figure of Immanuel was a sign promised to King Ahaz, then in the next chapter the child was born, and then finally we even see that child later called "Immanuel". Jesus was never called "Immanuel" or "Emmanuel" by any one at any time in his life. All the readers are encouraged to read Isaiah 7-8 in order to see the context of this incident. It has nothing to do with Jesus   (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).

In spite of the fact that it has been proven that Matthew did not author the "Gospel of Matthew", lets assume for the sake of argument that he did write it. Are we to believe that Matthew, a close Apostle of Jesus, so ill-informed regarding Old Testament prophecy? Historical scrutiny proves beyond a shred of doubt that this was an attempt at scriptural manipulation by those not familiar with Jewish scripture, culture, or prophecy. 

JESUS' BIRTH ACCORDING TO LUKE:

"And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." [Luke 1:31-33]

Note the highlighted reference to the "House of Jacob" which is a reference to Numbers 24:17 "There shall come a star out of Jacob". This is in line with the Old Testament prophecies and corresponds with what little historical documentation we have regarding the birth of Jesus   (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).

The earliest account of the "Star of Bethlehem" is made by the Bishop of the Church of Antiochia, Ignatius, in the early 2nd century A.D. In his letter to the Ephesians he writes:

"How was he revealed to the world? A star shone forth high above all the stars in the skies, whose brilliance cannot be described and which was of a completely new type so that it aroused an amazement." [Ignatius, Ad Ephesios, Chapter 19:7]

Thus it has been clearly demonstrated that Jesus' name being "`Eesa" from the Arabic root "`Assa" and the Hebrew root "`Esh" meaning "North Star" has far more credibility than a reference to a name for which there is absolutely no congruence with Biblical prophecy or historical evidence. By clinging to the erroneous names for Jesus, "Yeshua`" and "Yahushuwa'", in order to force the idea of a Savior man-god, the Chrisitans have laid doubt upon the very existence of Jesus   (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). He was born as the Messiah, and was the Star that came forth from the House of Jacob, and thus he was named "`Eesa" named after the Star of the Messiah. "Yeshua`", "Yahushuwa`", "Immanuel", "Emmanuel" are all the result of Christian arm twisting of the Tanach to force it to say something that has no congruence with the Israelite Messianic prophecies.

VII. THE HEBREW WORD "YA`ASU" MEANING "WHOM GOD CREATED"

	(Left) Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament, H. W. F. Gesenius, p 358]
	Here we see a word spelled yod, ayn, sheen, yod which is also very similar to "`Eesa" which would be  spelled in Hebrew ayn, yod, sheen, yod. It is also spelled as yod, ayn, sheen, waw.  This word means "The one who was created by God". In the Bible there is another character with this name who is called "Jaasau" in the Latinized Biblical texts. "Of the sons of Bani; ...and Jaasau," [Ezra 10:37]

As is well known, Jesus was born of a Virgin in what is coined as the "immaculate conception" in the Christian world. It is an important belief to which both Christians and Muslims hold tenaciously. To deny this would bring into question the validity of any Christian or Muslim. Thus, we have a word "Y`ashi" which means "created by God". This would be in great accordance with a point found only in the Qur'an:

And the similtude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam. He created him from dust and said to him 'Be', and he came to be." [al-Qur'aan,. Aal-`Imran, 3:59]

The Christians of the 7th century claimed that since Jesus had no father, God must have been his father. Thus, to this claim the Qur'an presents the powerful argument that Adam had no father or mother, thus Jesus having no father is no claim to divinity. Had this been the case Adam would have been a greater god. Hence, the term "Ya`si" or "Ya`su" from which an Arabic version of "`Eesa" could easily evolve etymologically. By maintaining the same bilateral root, the integrity of the name would have been preserved.

CONCLUSION

Thus, the Qur'an's historical accuracy in its usage of "`Eesa" rather than the Arabic "Yesu`" for the name of Jesus is indeed interesting to say the very least. As we have seen, "Y'SHW`" is actually based upon a problemmatic and an ignoble Hebrew nomenclature for Jesus which is littered with disagreement and controversy. For 2000 years Jesus has been recorded in history under the cursed title "Y'SHW" from "Yemach Shmo w'Zikro" ("may his name and memory be wiped out). 

Hebrew records have recorded certain figures whose sparsely sentenced fragmented stories  are somewhat similar to that of Jesus' as Yeshua` but none as Yeheshu`ah. There is no historical evidence asserting that those references are indeed referring to Jesus   (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). There have been a plethora of explanations attempting to rectify this variance in the Hebrew versions of Jesus' name, but all are based on conjecture and none are based on historicity or textual evidence. Indeed, the burden of proof is upon the Christian world to produce documented evidence of the existence of a "Jesus" from his own time period.

The Qur'an was revealed over 600 years after the ascent of Jesus, in far away Arabia where most of the Christians would have been calling him "Yesu`" from the same "Y'SHW" found in their Christian Biblical teachings which were sketchy at best. However, the Qur'an from which the Prophet Muhammad  was teaching, mentioned a Jewish Messiah, who performed brilliant miracles, born of a pure virgin, who was named "`Eesa". The Arab Christians were familiar with "Yesu`" whom they knew as their Lord and Savior. Had the Prophet (peace be upon him) copied stories from the Jews and Christians, he would have also copied their mistakes. However, the Israelite stories which are related in the Qur'an are strikingly accurate historically and diverge from the Bible in the areas where the Judeo-Christian scriptures err monumentally.

For The Prophet Muhammad , himself an unlettered and unschooled man, in far away Arabia to have known the true name of Jesus, which was lost for hundreds of years to the world, confirms what Allah states in the Qur'an:

"And We have sent down to you the Book in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and rectifying it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the truth that has come to you..."
[al-Qur'aan, Surat al-Maa'idah, 5:48]
