Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu brother,
Here is another Prophecy from the Bible,
Micah
4:1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the
mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it
shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
4:2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the
LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will
walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from
Jerusalem.
In Micah 4:1-2, We find a prophecy would come to pass in the last days, It's a prophecy about a Mountain of the House of the Lord, The people would flow unto it, And Nations would come to it, It's the Mountain of God.
Where is the House of God?; Where is the Mountain of God?, And Who are the people who would flow unto it?
The answer is only one; It's a prophecy about the Hajj (Pilgrimage) and one of its ceremonies, Standing upon Arafat, which is the main ceremony of the pilgrimage, as the Prophet (SAW) said: "Al Hajj (Pilgrimage) is Arafat".
The House of God is Al Ka'ba, The mountain of God is Arafat, and the people who would flow unto it are the Muslims.
Allah says in Qur'an , Surah Al-Baqara (The Cow) 2;
198. It is no crime in you if ye seek of the bounty of your Lord
(during pilgrimage). Then when ye pour down from (Mount) Arafat, celebrate the praises of
Allah at the Sacred Monument, and celebrate His praises as He has directed you, even
though, before this, ye went astray.
(The Noble Quran, 2:198)
Regards,
Salaam (Peace)
Back to Muhammad peace be upon him in the Bible.
