Prophet

hold of Jesus Christ, a central figure of Christianity and the believed Son of God. After inviting Jesus, I of course had to extend an invitation to Muhammad, the founder of Islam, and the last prophet of God as known by the Muslims. Finally, Moses, largely considered the largest of the Jewish prophets, was invited to the dinner party as I had some great talking points that I wanted to approach them with. I also extended an invite to Buddha, but unfortunately he was deep in meditation and…

rebirth for His believers. As Jesus opens the first seal, a white horse and rider go forth on earth. The breaking of the first seal is imperative, and that the world identifies the first rider as the Antichrist, so they can understand the three False Prophets that follow. The Antichrist and his kingdom are obviously what Jesus is revealing by the rider on the white horse. A leader, such as Adolf Hitler as a worldwide conqueror is one who rides on a horse symbolizing his personal goals,…

The stage of prophet Muhammad’s life that I found most interesting and influential to overall psychosocial behavior was from age 6 to 12. I found this stage the most interesting because it begins at age 6 with the death of Muhammads mother, and ends at age 12 were Muhammad has learned the merchant trade and been informed of his prophecy. This stage of Muhammad’s life begins with the death of his mother at age 6, making him an orphan and placing him in the care of his grandfather. The…

Appearances are often misleading and not everything one sees is true. In Alexander the False Prophet, Lucian exposes Alexander as a fraud by pointing out Alexander’s manipulative actions to deceive others and by revealing Alexander’s methods of deceptions. Lucian successfully convinces his readers that Alexander is a scammer and a false prophet due to his credibility factor which includes his personal connections to the subject of his writing. Lucian accomplished it by describing Alexander’s…

The Warrior Prophet of the Early Islamic State History is constantly changing. Every second something is added to history’s never-ending story. However, within this time certain civilizations and people stand out. I believe that the Prophet Muhammad sticks out as someone that tremendously impacted the early Islamic civilizations. He is most commonly known as the founder of Islam. But not only was he a religious leader, but he was also a military and political leader. All great leaders start…

The Muslims had a special regard for both the prophet Muhammad and his numerous wives. Due to their close relationship with the prophet, Muhammad’s wives had special counsel from God through the Prophet, therefore earning the title as The Mothers of the Believers. Although glorious and powerful this title may be, it accounted for many restrictions that the wives of the prophet had to follow, such as limiting their time in the presence of men as well as the social sphere while also fulfilling…

The prophets in the Old Testament were people who profoundly understood the relationship between God and His people through the Covenant. They were touched with the Holy Spirit (Num 11:29, Num 27:18) so that they could provide counseling and guidance to God’s people in the Old Testament, until the pouring out of the Holy Spirit after the cross (Joel 2:28) when each of us is a prophet. In other words, each of us has within us, the ability to understand what is expected of us, and how to “get…

“Curbside Prophet” proclaimed the beat-up and torn cardboard sign beside the man whose appearance was only made tolerable by the fact that the sign was dirtier than he was. The red letters jumped off onto the street almost as a dare for the people in too-clean cars to look. At least, that’s how I took them as I sat, in my own too-clean car, right beside him. I rolled down my window and then resisted the urge to roll it back up as the wind caught the man’s scent and delivered it straight to my…

Summary The animated film, Muhammad: the Last Prophet portrays the history of Islam with simplicity and potency. It illustrates the beginning of Muhammad’s ministry and his profound effect on the people of Mecca. Paganism and idolism were hugely predominant in Mecca, possibly influenced by neighboring countries like Egypt. As the religious leaders began to indulge in the pilgrimages and worship of the people, Muhammad went to pray in the wilderness. He claimed, according to his revelations in…

civilization that stretched across the Mediterranean Sea. With this growth, society changed immensely starting with a small simple village then becoming a complex society with millions of citizens. During this time of growth a new religion, created by the Prophet Zoroaster, made its way to popularity. Zoroastrainism is a monotheistic religion with the belief that the individual has the responsibility to choose between good and evil. This choice during daily interactions will determine…
