"FIGS" has been noted and observed positively to be the tribe/nation of Israel. "CONSUME" has been used again in the book of Jeremiah. Now, let us find another use of the term "FIG TREE" and also the term "NATION". It must be noted that there are contradictory passages in the "GOSPELS". So, we now seek the words of Prophet Jesus(pbuh) within the imperfect "Gospels".

Let us evaluate the if the word "Consume" is in the four "Gospels":


51 ¶ And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Eli'jah did ( 2nd Kings 1:9-10 ) ?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

Let us observe 2nd Kings 1:9-10 -

9 ¶ Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of a hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
10 And Eli'jah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. ( Luke 9:54 ) And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.



15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 [u]Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Who is Prophet Jesus(pbuh) addressing this to??? This is addressed to the Jewish nation which comprises the Rabbis. You as the reader will see the connection.

MATTHEW 12:33-37

33 ¶ Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

* Prophet Jesus(pbuh) has supposedly said this. If Prophet Jesus(pbuh) were to mention another "Nation" what could be deduced from his words? *

Jesus(pbuh) mentions the allegorical reference of the tribe/nation of Israel which are "Fig(s)" and the "Fig Tree" . "Vipers" is also an allegorical reference to disobedience because of the many fiery vipers used to punish the tribe/Israel in the Book of Numbers and the other early books. "Figs", "Fig", and "Fig Tree" is a positive identification of the tribe/nation of Israel. Prophet Jesus(pbuh) will also mention another "Nation" and the cursing of the "Fig Tree" which is an allegorical reference to the tribe/nation of Israel deriving from the book of JEREMIAH :


18 ¶ Now in the morning, as he returned into the city, he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. ( MATTHEW 17:20 )
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Also in MARK 11:12-14

12 ¶ And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

There are other references with this passage in Mark Chapter 11 again. However, this will be further explained because of the mentioning of another "Nation".

This last evidence is in confirmation of the truth! Why? because the RABBIS reacted as if they were threaten about this mentioning of another nation after the TEMPLE incident and the mentioning of Parables they had enough! and the RABBIS wanted to kill Prophet Jesus(pbuh) for exposing to them and to the public the truth concerning some prophecies and their disobedience.


42 ¶ Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures,
'The stone which the builders rejected,
the same is become the head of the corner:
this is the Lord's doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes ?'
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.(positive identification of Islam)
45 ¶ And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

I want to introduce my formula to understand this method:

ISLAMIC SOURCES(Quran and authentic and good Ahadiths(sayings)) > Old Testament > Gospels.

{ I have excluded the letters by Paul and his associates. I have also excluded the Book of Revelation. }

This will be crucial to understand the later evidences which will be presented later.

The next presentation will explain the DEUTERONOMY Chapter 18 explanation. It will split DEUTERONOMY Chapter 18 in Half. One half belongs to Prophet Jesus(pbuh) and the other half will belong to Prophet Muhammad(pbuh).

Prophet Jesus(pbuh) will explain it himself according to the GOSPELS. MATTHEW 21:43 above explains two things:

1. The spritiual Kingdom will be given to another.

2. The physical "Great Nation" will be given to another "Great Nation".

I have presented the physical transfer of power but only partially the spiritual aspect. The next evidence will explain the spiritual transfer of power from one prophet to another prophet in chronological fashion.


25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law(The Old Testament), They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

* JOHN 14:16 contradicts this passage, However JOHN 16:12-15 does not contradict the above evidence that this is a physical person with a continuing spiritual agenda:


12 ¶ I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak(DEUTERONOMY 18:15 & DEUTERONOMY 18:1: and he will show you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.

VERSE 13 is hinting of another prophet and has the same language similarily used in DEUTERONOMY 18:15 and 18:18! Therefore, these passages identify a physical human being who is a prophet who is also mentioned DEUTERONOMY 18:18 and 18:15. The verses which agree with JOHN 16:13 miraculously.

This is a transition of spiritual power is to one "Great Nation"(tribe/nation of Israel) to another "Great Nation"(tribe/nation of Ishmael - The Arabs). While the other "Great Nation"(Babylon from the Book of JEREMIAH) designate has fulfilled its role. This has been summarised in one chapter of DEUTERONOMY.


This chapter is a transition from one prophet to another. Prophet Jesus(pbuh) presents us through the Gospel a transitional period(JOHN 15:25-27 & JOHN 16:12-15)The initial beginning of this chapter is a prophecy from the Book of NUMBERS 23:21 which reflects RUTH 4:11 and NUMBERS 18:23-24. For Prophet Muhammad, DEUTERONOMY 34:10 is a sign which will describe him also with connection with EXODUS 23:20-33 and JOSHUA 12:1-6.

This very chapter( DEUTERONOMY Chapter 18 ) has a split meaning identifying two prophets because of a key phrase which is similar and it will be highlighted:


The Portions of the Levites( NUMBERS 23:21, NUMBERS 18:23-24, RUTH 4:11, JOSHUA 18:7 )( Prophet Jesus(pbuh) is identified because of MICAH 5:2-5 )

1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.(Prophet Jesus(pbuh))
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. ( NUMBERS 18:20 / Prophet Jesus(pbuh))
3 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4 The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
5 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.( Prophet Jesus(pbuh) because of MICAH 5:2-5 as the Messiah of the Jews only )
6 ¶ And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
7 then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.(MICAH 5:4 / Prophet Jesus(pbuh))
8 They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.

Warning against Heathen Practices(Symbolic meaning in this section of the other "Great Nation"(Babylon) which is a Pagan disobedient nation but used by G-d to punish the tribe/nation of Isreal.)

9 ¶ When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, ( LEVITICUS 19:26 ) or a witch, ( EXODUS 22:18 )
11 or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, ( LEVITICUS 19:31 ) or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

* DEUTERONOMY 18:9-14 is a barrier and it seperates the two sections one explaining Prophet Jesus(pbuh) and another explanining Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) in close proximity. Both nations have destroyed pagan worshipping nations initially guided by the same G-d(Allah).

God Promises a Prophet like Moses

15 ¶ The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; ( EXODUS 32:10 & NUMBERS 14:12 & JOSHUA 23:12-16 & JEREMIAH 2:10 & EXODUS 33:4-6 / Prophet Muhammad )
16 according to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.( EXODUS 33:4-6 which is then connected with EXODUS 32:10 )
17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.( Prophet Muhammad look above in the evidence and later below for the Islamic evidence / EXODUS 23:20-33 )
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. ( look at the Islamic evidence below )
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. ( Also connected with immediate death of the false prophet Hananiah in the book of Jeremiah Chapter 28 )
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
22 when a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

DEUTERONOMY 18:15-22 is perfectly describing how to identify the Prophet after Prophet Jesus(pbuh). This is Prophet Muhammad:

DEUTERONOMY 34:10 -

" And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, "

The answer to this is in a Chapter of the Quran called Isra':

(I saw it as light, how could I see Him)'' This is how it was narrated in the report of Imam Ahmad. Muslim recorded that `Abdullah bin Shaqiq said that Abu Dharr said: "I asked the Messenger of Allah , `Did you see your Lord' He said,

«ﻩﺍَﺭَﺃ ﻰَّﻧَﺃ ٌﺭﻮُﻧ»

((I saw) a light, how could I see Him)'' `Abdullah bin Shaqiq said: I said to Abu Dharr, "If I had seen the Messenger of Allah , I would have asked him.'' He said, "What would you have asked him'' He said, "I would have asked him, `Did you see your Lord'' Abu Dharr said, "I asked him that, and he said,

«ﺍًﺭﻮُﻧ ُﺖْﻳَﺃَﺭ»

(I saw light.)

SOURCE:http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=17&tid=28467

PROPHET MUHAMMAD(peace and blessings be upon him) met Allah(G-d) but Allah(G-d) was covered by a veil of LIGHT!

Similarily, Prophet Moses(Musa in Arabic)(peace be upon him) met Allah(G-d) "Face to Face" in the same manner but through a pillar of SMOKE during the Day and Pillar of FIRE at Night which was visible for not only him but some of the children of Israel according to the Book of NUMBERS 14:14

" and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by daytime in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. "

The reason for posting DEUTERONOMY 34:10 is because it also mentions Prophet Joshua(peace be upon him) in the previous verse which in a way disqualifies him for being DEUTERONOMY 18:18 or 18:15 because he was NOT described as equivalent to Prophet Moses(pbuh) in that manner. Remember, he was alos able to see the PILLAR of SMOKE and the PILLAR of Fire also and therefore, he also seen G-d "Face to Face" through these VEILS. It mentions in this EXODUS Chapter 33.


9 ¶ And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, ( EXODUS 33:11 )
11 in all the signs and the wonders which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 and in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel.


9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.
10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp; but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

Therefore, the conclusion is....

* Prophet Muhammad(peace and blessings be upon him) is DEUTERONOMY 18:18 and DEUTERONOMY 18:15 as explained previously above. *

Prophet Joshua(peace be upon him) is mentioned in DEUTERONOMY 17:18-20. This will be explained later in part 3.

Funny, and I bet the old Testament prophesized Jesus as well.

You know, Nostradamus predicted 9/11 as well. Check up on him as well.
