Christians claim the above verse in their Old Testament talks about Jesus yet Jesus was a complete opposite in attitude, personality, life and so on from Moses. By their own accounts Jesus is unlike Moses in all the above points. From this it is clear that Moses predicted the prophet Muhammad.

This is further clarified when we see that God has always sent prophets when the people became misguided from the previous prophets message. In the 300’s the Roman Empire adopted Christianity as the state religion and took control of the Church. They further held councils for many years establishing and standardizing the religion throughout the 400’s and 500’s. Many Christians themselves refer to this period as the “apostate church” because they believe the church stopped following Jesus and was “lost” (for 1,000+ years according to them).

It was at this time, in 571, that from the brothers of the Jews (the Arabs) the Prophet Muhammad was born and then fulfilled the prophecies while reviving the true message of Jesus which is exactly in line with what all the previous prophets taught (see “One God One Message“).

There was a Christian Scholar, known for his piety, named Salman the Persian who lived during this time and recognized that this was the decline of Jesus’ message (along with other scholars he knew) and followed the scriptures to travel specifically to the city of Medinah and await the coming prophet. Also note that there were multiple tribes of the Jews also in Medinah which were hoping to meet the coming prophet, but later rejected him because he was not from their specific tribes. The Prophet Muhammad arrived soon after Salman did and then, after testing the Prophet, saw that he was the predicted prophet and accepted Islam. (see “The Journey of Salman the Persian“)

Note: We have previously discussed whether the Bible is reliable as the word of God due to a proven history of changes, loss of original manuscripts, and inauthenticity which is discussed here. The entire Bible has not been changed but one must compare the current Bible to the authentic revelation of God to be sure of the truth! What is the only authentic revelation of God today?
