Muhammad in the Bible — Page 19
19 The second name of the Promised One is Counsellor. This again applied to the Holy Prophet. A nation turned to him for advice. He, in turn, held regular consultation with his people, and made it obligatory on the State to consult the people in all important matters. The Holy Quran tells us that his companions sought his consultation regularly. The prophecy had also described him as mighty God. The Bible has often mentioned the prophets as God himself. (Exodus 7:1 and 4:16) Whenever a human being is spoken of as a “like of God” it can only mean that he is a manifestation of the Almighty. The Holy Prophet, again, answers the description of the prophecy. There are several references relevant to this in the Holy Quran. At the Ba ttle of Badr, the prophet took a handful of gravel and threw it at the enemy. This proved a signal for a dust storm which discomfited the enemy and contributed to his defeat. Of this, God says to the Holy Prophet: And thou threwest not when thou didst throw, but it was God who threw. (The Holy Quran 8:18) Again it says: Verily those who swear allegiance to thee indeed swear allegiance to God. (The Holy Quran 48:11) Thus came the manifestation of mighty God, The Holy Prophet, who was able to subjugate all his enemies in his lifetime and to smash all opposition. The fourth name in the prophecy is Everlasting Father. Jesus
