UNTIL SHILOH COMES
This was a message of Jacob to his children before he died. (Genesis 49:1): "And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, 'Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.'" Genesis 49:10: "The Sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." Shiloh is also the name of a town but its real meaning is peace, tranquility, and rest, i.e., Islam. It could never refer to a town here. If it referred to a person, it could be a corruption of Shaluah (Elohim), i.e., Messenger (of Allah). So the Sceptre, meaning the Israelite Prophethood in the lineage of Isaac would stop as soon as Shiloh comes. This corresponds with Surah 2:v133: "Were you witnesses when death came to Jacob? When he said to his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We shall worship thy God 81 (Allah), the God of thy fathers, Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac; One God and to Him we surrendered. (in Islam). The shift of Prophethood to another nation was threatened in Jeremiah 31:36: "If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever." Also foretold by Jesus in Matthew 21:43: "Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof." And that nation is the Arabs, as it is stated previously, "The Burden Upon Arabia". Everything mentioned above fits perfectly to Islam and prophet Muhammed (pbuh). One does not have to stretch one's imagination. The truth is clear as daylight.
m. Truly amazing. Things are getting clearer to me as we are discussing in depth all these prophecies. I guess I am lucky to have met you, as you understand Christianity and Islam.
M. The reason you were guided to accept Islam, is that you were looking for the truth. ALLAH always guides one who is sincere in looking for the truth. As HE says in the Qur'an, chapter 10: v100. "It is not for any soul to believe save by the permission of ALLAH. HE has set uncleanness upon those who have no sense."
