So, in essence, by this inheritance the concept of Christianity [messiah]

remained dormant; deliverance must come through the Hebrew nation or

from the seed of Abraham.

D

isappointment and conflict raged throughout the generations because of

the old covenant and promise given to Abraham. The messianic message

transcended across generational lines and predetermined a just end.

Hebrews, Muslims and now Christians anticipate a just conclusion

according to their thinking. According to past traditions, each sect desires a

just conclusion to the same prophecy. The difference in belief is the means

by which conflict comes forward. Each segment of humanity tries to defeat

others, but the battle is not of the flesh—the battle is spiritual. The

messianic message is clearly fulfilled according to the word of God

contained within all ancient scriptural texts, including the Koran. But there

is one solution, and all who know him will bow to a Divine Will, not

The sheep are being separated from the goats and delivered from the hands

of their taskmaster. The unanswered questions within religions that expect a

messiah are answered when Christ is revealed! Secrets and mysteries are

The scriptural notions of deliverance were affirmed in Abraham’s sons,

Isaac and Ishmael, but Mohamed provided new insights for Ishmael’s

descendants. The Koran for the most part does not deny Jesus, but only

considers Jesus a prophet. Jesus’ testimony does not conflict with the

Koran, but the testimony specifies the reality of the Son of God and the

son of man, which causes conflict in these sects. The messianic expectation

of mere man seems more general, rather than a specific mere man chosen

for this purpose. The Jews of today [the worship of one God, as are the

Muslims and those who claim Christianity], are suspect of any mere man

outside of their religion. Subsequently, change is essential as a mere man

shepherds those called—regardless of their past religious affiliation—to

fulfill the messianic mission.

So, “The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy

Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still

standing. This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts

and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscious of the

worshipper. They are only a matter of food and drink and various
