Sabbath 23/3/40/120

Dear Friends,

In continuation of the messages on the Commentary on the Koran or Qur’an, we continue on now to Q4.

Following on from the Introduction to the Commentary on the Koran (Q1) we asked everyone to study this text before going into Q2 dealing with Surahs 1 and 2, Surah 2 being the longest and most involved Surah of the Quran. 

In the Commentary on the Qur’an (Q2) we saw how the Faith is outlined and how it deals with the Faith and the Resurrections of the Dead.  Much of the comment being uttered today from both Hadithic and Shia Islam and from Trinitarian Christianity is false as is the complete inability of the modern Churches of God, from the influence of Armstrongism and US Binitarian and Sabellianist heresy, to explain the Plan of Salvation and the Nature of God and the Calendar.  Thus the Faith is not being explained and in fact it is not even understood by those purporting to teach it.

The offshoots of the Worldwide Church of God do not understand the Nature of God nor do they understand God’s Calendar (No. 156), keeping Hillel of 358 CE with the Jews instead.  That is the very reason God was not able to use them to speak to Islam in the Last Days nor to the rest of the world.  They had to be disbanded and shattered into dysfunctional groups.

In order to keep the Calendar one must understand the Nature of God as it controls the system of worship.  The heresies of the WCG and offshoot systems are found in the texts of Ditheism (No. 076B) and also Binitarian and Trinitarian Misrepresentation of the Early Theology of the Godhead (No. 127B).

The paganised Arabs when they took over Islam and the Jews when they were banished in 70 CE at the fall of the Temple destroyed their calendars following their heresy, under the Will of God. Hillel II issued the false calendar in 358 CE. The churches never accepted it until Armstrong decided to follow it following his Ditheist heresy.  Paganised Islam destroyed their calendar at the end of the Eighth century CE (see the papers Hebrew and Islamic Calendar Reconciled (No. 53);  Distortion of God’s Calendar in Judah (No. 195B); and Hillel, Babylonian Intercalations and the Temple Calendar (No. 195C)).

We repeat that we only have a very short time to finish our job and to reach the Arab tribes, both the Arabs of Keturah and the Arabicised Arabs of Ishmael as well as other Shia and Hadithic and other Muslims in the world. We have less than seven years and we must be finished by 2024 in order to save the lives of the ones claiming to be Muslims and also those claiming to be Christians. We have much less time to save those claiming to be of the Churches of God. They of the Sardis and Laodicean systems who do not repent will be exterminated by the end of the period of the Witnesses and the arrival of the Messiah. They do not seem to understand the seriousness of this and their Polytheism or Sabellianism (see the paper Pillars of Philadelphia (No. 283)).

It is critical that they understand and realise that they have to correct the errors of the Armstrong offshoots and the COG (SD) and also the errors of E. G White of the SDAs and the errors of the JWs. Never has there been a time where the Churches of God and the Sabbath system have been so corrupted and where Hadithic and Shia Islam have been such a poison among mankind.

We published Surah 3 last week and are now ready for publication with Surah 4 with publication this Sabbath.  Q1 explains the situation with Islam in the Seventh century and the background to the faith and the Koran.  We are able to see that Surah 2 deals with the basis of the faith and the position of Christ in the purification of the faith and how he was established as the High Priest of Melchisedek and how the church acts in the faith (see Commentary on Hebrews (F058)).  We see how and why the Surah is called the Golden Heifer (or Cow according to some) acting as the Red Heifer in the purification of the Temple of God and the priesthood and then how it is the glorification of the Messiah received in the elect, symbolised by the Golden hue of Glorification from the Messiah as we saw with the countenance of Moses.

Commentary on Surah 3 (Q3) deals with the elect as the family of Imran or Amran and Yochebed, for which it is named, the parents of Mariam and Aaron and Moses and then on down to the family of Messiah and the elect on into the Churches of God as the Priesthood of Melchisedek on to the end of the age.

The lessons are taken from the family and also from the battles of Badr and Mt. Uhud and these are explained in the texts as they apply to the elect over time.

The text of Commentary on Surah 4 “Women” deals with the requirements and entitlements of Widows and Orphans after their males were lost in battle and also their inheritance details. The text then goes on to the Covenant of the Faith with God as sworn at Sinai and with the appointment of the 72 of the Sanhedrin and on to the Messiah and the Church.   Surah 4:154ff identifies the Covenant of God and ties the Sabbath into the Covenant and shows that the faith is dependent on keeping the Covenant and the Sabbaths under the Fourth Commandment, which was the necessary and crucial identifying element of the Faith.  No Muslim or Christian can keep the Covenant and enter the Kingdom of God without keeping the Fourth Commandment of the Sabbaths of God on which the faith depends as its identifying sign. See also the text The Sabbath in the Qur’an (No. 274).  Nor can a Binitarian, Ditheist or Trinitarian enter the kingdom of God.

The text of Q4 actually ends with a text giving clarification on an aspect of inheritance obviously answered at the end of the Sermon dealing with an aspect arising from the early inheritance texts rather in the same way our modern sermons might end answering matters arising from the sermons.

Next week we will deal with Surah 5 “The Feast” or “Table Spread” and the surprising aspects dealing with the faith and the priesthood and the Lord’s Supper at Passover.

Please study further to understand what must be done.
