Assalamu’alaikum
Many in Islam today believe that Isa al-Masih [Christ the Messiah] will return. But when Isa al-Masih returns, how will we know that it is really Him? How can we know that it is not a counterfeit?
The Counterfeits of Iblis…
Remember that Iblis [Satan] has tried to counterfeit everything which Allah has done. Just for example, in the Taurat Genesis 1:1 it tells us that “in the beginning Allah (God) created the heaven and the earth.” The Honored Qur’an tells us:
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلا شَفِيعٍ أَفَلا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ
Sura 32:4
“It is Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all between them, in six Days, and is firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): ye have none, besides Him, to protect or intercede (for you): will ye not then receive admonition?” 032.004 As-Sajda
Yet we find that many even among believers say that this is not so, they say that the earth, man and the animals have ‘evolved’ over millions of years. The belief that Allah created all things in nature around us is unthinkable for many. Thus the Word of Allah is set aside for these pleasing fables. But these fables which are a counterfeit of truth is accepted instead of the truth of Allah. Thus the theory of evolution [evil-lution] is a counterfeit and is leading man astray. This is the work of Iblis (Satan).
In the Taurat, Genesis 1:26 it is written that Allah said… “Let us make man in our image…” But men today are fed a counterfeit of truth, many intelligent people today say that we came from Apes long ago…which is again a lie of Iblis [Satan]. It is very apparent that Iblis [Satan] hates the Word from Allah, the Holy Books, and those sent from Allah. We can be assured that Iblis [Satan] will also try to counterfeit the Second Coming of Isa al-Masih! In this way he would be able to deceive many people and lead them astray from the straight path of Allah. Just as he has already led many astray with the theory of “Evolution” and his idea that mankind came from “Apes”, even so he will deceive all which turn aside from the Holy Books sent down. But Allah in His goodness, compassion, and great mercy has already sent down truth ahead of time so that we may know the tricks or deceptions of Iblis [Satan]. (Injeel) Matthew 24:4 “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” Five times in the Injeel we are warned not to be deceived!
The Truths of Allah…
The Holy Books, the Bible Scriptures, have much to say in regards to the Return of Isa al-Masih. The people of Allah will be looking for Isa al-Masih [Christ the Messiah] to return. This is foretold in: (Injeel) Hebrews 9:28 ‘So Christ [Isa al-Masih] was once offered [the ransom] to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time…’
But before Isa al-Masih returns we can be sure that Satan [Iblis] will try to counterfeit His coming, so that millions will think that he (Satan) is actually Isa al-Masih (Christ the Messiah), when in fact it is a counterfeit. I once was given a counterfeit bill from a taxi cab driver, and in the bustle of the day, I did not examine the bill closely until later that evening when I was relaxed in my hotel room. As I was going through my money I noticed that something was different about this one bill I had received. Upon close examination I found that this bill was indeed a counterfeit. I had been deceived! However I survived the situation because it was a small bill and this was not very significant to my life. However, concerning this event of the great Second Coming of Isa al-Masih, we dare not be deceived. We have been fully warned in the Injeel (Gospel) that false Christ’s will appear and deceive many. Allah in His mercy has already sent warnings ahead of time, so that we need not be deceived.
(Injeel) Matthew 24:5 “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” (Injeel) 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” This false Christ will come to deceive even the whole world. Notice the words in the (Injeel) Matthew 24:30 “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Notice “all tribes of the earth shall mourn”. Why do they mourn? Is it because they accepted the false, counterfeit christ and now when the real appears in the clouds and with power and great glory, they realize they made a grave mistake? But alas it is now too late! Friends it is not yet too late, we can know truth! Please read on.
How will Isa al-Masih return?
In the Revelation of Isa al-Masih given to Yahya [John on the Isle of Patmos] we find this recorded regarding the true return of Isa al-Masih [Christ the Messiah].
(Injeel) Revelation 1:7 “Behold, he (Isa al-Masih) cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him…” It assures us with certainty that “every eye shall see him” and that his coming is with the “Clouds”. Again it tells us that ‘all kindreds of the earth shall wail’, they were deceived by the counterfeit. Isa al-Masih also comes as “Lightning”. It is written in the Injeel…Matthew 24:27 “For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man [Isa al-Masih] be.” The Second Coming of Isa will be seen all over the world. It will not be in secret somewhere obscure but openly. You will not need to go to the television to see this event. You will see it outside the door of your home!
Another amazing feature of this event is that there will be a resurrection from the graves. (Injeel) 1 Thessalonians 4:16 tells us that… “For the Lord [Isa al-Masih] himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump (trumpet) of God [Allah]: and the dead in Christ shall rise first”
This event will not only be seen by every eye but it will be heard by every ear. Notice that this coming of Isa al-Masih is with a “shout” and with the “voice of the archangel” and with the “trump” or trumpet of God. What really stands out in this verse is that the “dead in Christ” will rise first. This is the resurrection from the graves of the true believers. Rise? Rise to go where? Up in the clouds to be with Isa al-Masih forever more.
(Injeel) 1 Thessalonians 4:17 “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them [those who are raised from the graves] in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” This is a critical statement… “to meet the Lord in the air”. Let us not miss that point, Isa al-Masih does not come to land upon this earth the second time as He once did long ago, He comes to gather the believers to Himself “in the air”. This is a rescue mission from off this planet which has become corrupted due to the counterfeits and deceptions of Iblis [Satan].
Signs of Isa’s Return…
How can we be sure that His coming is near? Will there be signs for us to know that His coming is near? One sign which Isa al-Masih told us is that it will be like it was in the days of Noah before the flood and like in the days of Lot…(Injeel) Luke 17:26-30 “And as it was in the days of Noe [Noah], so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe [Noah] entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot ; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man [Isa al-Masih] is revealed.”
Just how serious was it back in those days before the flood? (Taurat) Genesis 6:5 “And GOD [Allah] saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
Wickedness being great, every imagination of the heart (mind) was only evil continually. Is this not describing our day as well? Therefore we can expect the return of Isa al-Masih to end this terrible wickedness, this insanity, very soon.
وَيَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الأرْضِ إِلا مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوْهُ دَاخِرِينَ
Sura 27.087
‘And the Day that the Trumpet will be sounded - then will be smitten with terror those who are in the heavens, and those who are on earth, except such as Allah will please (to exempt): and all shall come to His (Presence) as beings conscious of their lowliness.’ 027.087 An-Naml Will you and I be ready for that day? Trust your life to Him whom Allah sent down, Isa al-Masih as your personal Saviour from sin.
