Aside from the New
Jerusalem (Mecca) and the BEAST 666 (U.N.), the strangest I found in the Bible
is the “Rider on a White Horse.” There is not an iota of evidence in Islam that
the prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.) like prophet Eissa (a.k.a. Jesus) will return at the
end of the world. Christians believe that the rider on a white horse is Jesus
but after another look, you may start to think again.
I used to work with an Indian medical technologist who was engaged to a Bangladeshi Moslem. She wanted to learn about Islam but I told her to read her Bible first which she hadn’t although she was brought up as a Christian by her mother. I chuckled when she asked me to lend her a Bible. Here is a Christian asking me a Moslem to lend her a Bible. I lent her the King James Version that I borrowed from a friend. She returned it to me two weeks after.
“Don’t you think John
16 refers to Prophet Mohammad?” she asked.
I was surprised but I
smiled. “When I read that in the High School,” I replied, “I had no doubt that
it refers to the prophet.”
“…and,” I feel that
she was being hesitant to ask, “The rider on a white horse?”
I would have choked
if there was something in my mouth. Of the 3 billion Moslems and Christians of
planet Earth, I thought I was the only one who knew. I was glad that it came
out from the mouth of a Christian and her only basis was the physical
description of the rider and those that rides with him. It was a mystery I dare
not discuss with a Moslem I am not familiar with. The prophet is dead; there is
no way he is going to come back unless the prophecy is spiritual in nature but
as we always say; nothing is impossible for God. The soldiers in heaven that
will ride with the ‘white horse rider’ are probably the army of the prophet
that rode with him when he conquered Mecca from the idol worshippers. They reclaimed
and cleansed the Ka’aba of idols and proclaimed the oneness of God as in the
day that prophet Abraham (a.s.) and his son Ishmael built it.
REVELATION 19:11-16 I
saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is
called FAITHFUL AND TRUE. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are
like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name that nobody
knows but himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood and his name is the
word of God. The armies of heaven were following him riding on white horses and
dressed in linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with
which to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron scepter. He
treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and
on his thigh he has the name written: king of kings and lord of lords.
The above prophecy
undoubtedly befits the personality of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) rather than
Jesus. The key word in the above prophecy is Revelation 19:11 “…and whose rider
is called Faithful and True”
The prophet Mohammad
(pbuh) was the only prophet I know whom the people who knew him ever called “Al
Ameen al Sadique…THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE.”
He was the only prophet known to have waged
wars either riding a camel or a white horse to reclaim “Beit’ Allah”; the first
house of worship built by Abraham for God.
HE WAS CALLED “AL AMEEN AL SADIQUE” (FAITHFUL AND TRUE) LONG BEFORE HE RECEIVED THE WORD OF PROPHETHOOD.
MashaAllah! MashaAllah! MashaAllah!
