My apologetics response to SHEIKH AHMED ABDULAH YOBE yesterday on his Facebook chats which he said he would like to go on a peaceful dialogue with me to defend his teaching against the Bible prophesy about Mohammed, the request which I said Okay. But I still confirmed to him that there is no place in the Bible that talks about Mohammed; the Bible is silent about Mohammed, from Genesis to Revelation nowhere the Bible talks about Mohammed, therefore Sheik should stop forcing Mohammed to enter the Bible. 

There are three primary passages in the Bible that Muslims often point to as prophecies of the coming of Muhammad: 

👉Deuteronomy 18:15-22.

👉Song of Solomon 5:16. 

👉John 16:5-11.

FOLLOW ME AS WE DEFEND EACH: We will be on Facebook live with him on Friday, I will share the link here to enable you to participate. 

1: In regards to Deuteronomy 18:15-22, the immediate context of this passage refers back to verses 9-14. 

There Moses warns the people of the danger of false prophets. God's people are to avoid any and all who presume to speak authoritatively about spiritual truth apart from God’s truth. What is God’s truth? 

Verse 15 says a particular Prophet will arise from the Jews your own brothers who will be like Moses. 

Notice that it's not just any Prophet, as there have been many, but a special Prophet. People who studied and believed the Old Testament writings were looking for this particular, special Prophet. 

In fact, some Jewish leaders thought the fiery preacher John the Baptist might be the fulfillment of Moses  prophecy, John 1:19-30. John the Baptist, however, said that he was the forerunner of the Prophet of whom Moses spoke, and that he was not that Prophet himself.

Who then is this Prophet spoken of in the Bible? He is clearly none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. 

It's well known to Muslims that Jesus came before Mohammed; then how can the Bible jumped and talk about Mohammed without talking about Jesus? 

300 years the book of epistles in the New testament were all completed and sealed by Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ before the arrival of Mohammed with his religion called Islam. 

👉John 1:43-45 records that the early followers of Jesus understood He was the Prophet of whom Moses wrote. 

👉Jesus Himself declared this about Himself (Luke 24:27). 

👉The most complete statement pointing to Jesus as the promised prophet is found in Acts 3:12-26. 

👉The deacon, Stephen, reiterated this in Acts 7:37. 

👉Such notable men as John the Baptist, Philip, Peter, and Stephen all testified that Jesus Christ, not Muhammad, is the prophet prophesied in Deuteronomy 18:15-22.

2: In regards to Song of Solomon 5:16, the maiden says of her lover, ''His mouth is sweetness itself he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem''. 

The word translated as "lovely" is the Hebrew word machamadim. It is the plural of machamad, which means lovely, cute, or desirable. It does not follow that the verse refers to Muhammad, especially since the word used is a plural adjective, not the name of a person.

3: In regard to John 16:5-11, Jesus prophesies that after He leaves, the Counselor will come, and this Counselor will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment (John 16:8). 

Who is this Counselor? 

To Sheikh Najeeb Al-Ghamdi Jesus Himself gives the answer a few verses later in John 16:13, But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth Jesus explicitly identifies the Counselor as the Holy Spirit. 

Jesus previously had used very similar terminology to predict the coming of the Holy Spirit: But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name (John 14:26). It is abundantly clear in the Bible that the Counselor Jesus prophesied was the Holy Spirit, not Muhammad.

Points to note: Mohammed is not the Holy Spirit which is the comforter, and if Islam says he is, then where is the comfort in the world?  First class terrorist in the world come from his religion, is that the comfort?  

Mohammed is not a prophet, if he is a prophet then where is prophetic character in him? 

How can you be a prophet without prophecy? 

How can you be a prophet without miracles? 

How can you be a prophet without hearing from Allah? 

A true Prophet must hear from God, as he receives messages from God to his people and Mohammed has never heard from Allah but he had claimed it was an angel that passed the message to him; why not from Allah direct as we see in many occasions Jesus was hearing from God, e.g in the river Jordan where he was baptized by John the Baptist and a voice from above saying this is my beloved Son Hear him. 

In conclusion, there is nowhere in the Bible where there is a prophecy about the coming of Muhammad. Muhammad was not the prophet Moses predicted, and Muhammad was not the Counselor Jesus predicted. Since the message of Muhammad contradicts the message of Jesus and the Bible on many points, the only biblical prophecy that would apply to the coming of Muhammad would be Matthew 24:11, ''And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people''.
