sword and
the bent bow, and within a year after his flight the descen-
dants of Kedar meet him at Badr, the place of the first battle
between the Meccans and the Prophet, the children of Kedar
and their number of archers diminish and all the glory of
Kedar fails. If the Holy Prophet is not to be accepted as
the fulfillment of all these prophecies they will still remain
unfulfilled. "The house of my glory" referred to in Isaiah lX
is the house of God in Mecca and not the Church of Christ
as thought by Christian commentators. The flocks of Kedar,
as mentioned in verse 7, have never come to the Church of
Christ; and it is a fact that the villages of Kedar and their
inhabitants are the only people in the whole world who have
remained impenetrable to any influence of the Church of
Christ. Again, the mention of 10,000 saints in Deutero-
nomy xxx 3 is very significant. He (God) shined forth
from Paran, and he came with 10,000 of saints. Read the
whole history of the wilderness of Paran and you will find
no other event but when Mecca was conquered by the
Prophet. He comes with 10,000 followers from Medina and
re-enters "the house of my glory." He gives the fiery law
to the world, which reduced to ashes all other laws. The
Comforter - the Spirit of Truth - spoken of by Prophet Jesus was
no other than Prophet Muhammad himself. It cannot be taken as
the Holy Ghost, as the Church theology says. "It is expe-
dient for you that I go away," says Jesus, "for if I go not
away the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart
I will send him unto you." The words clearly show that the
Comforter had to come after the departure of Jesus, and was
not with him when he uttered these words. Are we to pre-
sume that Jesus was devoid of the Holy Ghost if his coming
was conditional on the going of Jesus: besides, the way in
which Jesus describes him makes him a human being, not a
142
ghost. "He shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he
shall hear that he shall speak." Should we presume that the
Holy Ghost and God are two distinct entities and that the
Holy Ghost speaks of himself and also what he hears from
God? The words of Jesus clearly refer to some messenger
from God. He calls him the Spirit of Truth, and so the
Koran speaks of Prophet Muhammad, "No, indeed, he has
brought the truth, and confirmed the Messengers." Ch.37:37
