The Name of Allah

Aug 23, 2007 08:42

In Hebrew Allah's name is also a prophecy about his future. It can be translated as "burnt offering." But, Allah is the least of the ones that the Political Pariah, the Messiah will kill, and Allah actually has to be enticed to his death.

Allah dies at a time when the gods and their sons are being slaughtered by the Messiah but not like at the Red Sea. The time frame is Isaiah 10-14, and 30, when Messiah frees his family from the revived Assyria. Paraphrasing to reduce time he said:

"Woe to Ashur the Assyrian, Messiah will come out of his place in the south and He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. He will stand as a banner for the peoples and the nations will rally to him. With them he will gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.

The outraged gods muster. There is an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations massing together for battle against Messiah. The enemy comes even from the ends of the heavens. And likewise, Messiah is mustering his own army for war.

The war is so violent that the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place. Messiah kills Ashur, the Assyrian army commander over the mountains of Israel personally. The god Ashur will be fought by a god, the Messiah, who is seen coming down with raging anger. His voice alone wounds Ashur but he swoops around him like a bird, striking with each pass; he fights him to the music of tambourines and harps!

He fights them in battle with the blows of his arm until Ashur dies and falls into a pit in Topheth that has long been prepared by faithful men, made ready for the king of Babylon.

After the battle he issues the order to prepare a place to slaughter the sons of Ashur and not let them cover the earth with their cities.

The dead are so numerous hat people will no longer call it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of slaughter, for they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room."

With that abbreviated prophecy of the battle you might conclude that Jews and Christians would have more respect for their god, but they have reduced him to the Great Harmless Love. The Christians go so far as to say that Messiah does not regard the holy places and things as meaningful, just as they themselves do not.

Hal Lindsey said the name Allah is a title and that is correct. There are many gods as a Christian sage once said, "For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords")," acknowledges a more complex world view than the useless American pastors and rabbis can fathom.
