    Crazy as it sounds, I can't help but wonder if there is any significance to the fact that Mohammed came around with the idea of islam 600 years after Christ. This is not to imply that I think there is validity to the notion that Mohammed was a prophet of  God (to believe that would mean he couldn't lie, which would mean that I was denying the resurrection of Christ; since he claimed Jesus was merely a prophet) Still, numbers have meaning and it seems odd that mohammed's death occurred so close to 600 years after Christ was risen. I guess my question is, does anyone know the significance of numbers, as they might have been seen by the ancients; where it might shed some  otherworldly perspective on the timing of the rise of Islam.

      I think that numbers of years  are of the greatest of importance if we are concerned with prophesy.

        Why else would these references of "Times, half times, etc  have been included through out these prophesy?
       
         What people must understand is that IF we use these prophetic  time =s X number of earth years, we must always use these comparisons in all prophetic messages. Not just some of them.

        For instance 1260 days in prophesy would always equal 1260 of our years.  Not just sometimes.

        But I disagree with that equation.
        I believe that 1260 prophetic days are equal to approx 1650 of our years.

         Either way?  this 42 months that prophesy says that this beast as described in Rev. 13 (False religion) was given would have to be either 1260 of our years  OR  1650 years as I suggest,
        When you consider the implications of that; you will know why this concept of a prophetic day equals X # of years has been obscured for the past 1600 plus years.

      I do not know how to accurately answer that.  I do know, that Christ and Muhammad taught views that are diametrically opposed to each other though.  Unfortunately, many lump the two together as if the same.  The facts show where the truth is, and that is in their actual teachings.

    Christ and Mohammed

    They both were sent by Allah- the Creator God as Messengers and Prophets to guide the people towards His path; in this sense they were brothers in their spirits. Jesus or Christ was sent for guidance of the Jews. Muhammad was a Messenger Prophet for the whole world.

      I Thank God Always For His Son and Our Savior Jesus Christ.
      I Thank Christ Always for All That He has Said and Done, for the sake of ole Foolish Man!
      Ref; Numbers: 
      God on numerous of times (Lots of Numbers) told man, that He's Not Happy with them, and to Listen and Obey Him. Man chose Not to, So one Last Effort on God's part was to send His Only Begotten Son, into this Loss and Dying world, for mans sake!
      Ref: Numbers:
      God nor Christ on any occasion (zero times) made reference to Mohammad.

      hmmmm Wonder Why?

      Thank You Lord for blessing Man, with the power to choose(free moral agent)
      Thank You Lord For Sending Your Son into this Loss and Dying World.
      I pray this day, that all will choose God/Christ and What He has said and done, and become Wise, rather than follow a False Prophet, and thus be Foolish! And spend an eternity in torment and damnation, away from God and Christ!

      I am so grateful, that Heaven Wont be too  Crowded!

              The trail doesn't begin, nor does it end with Jesus and Muhammad, who was actually walkin' around 400 A.D. Another fact is that he was becoming enlightened halfway to the Crusades, Rome was crumbling, and a legend was born called "Arthur". There are more cross corellations here.

        Composer responds: I have been trying for over 50 years to find a single genuine story book jesus believer but alas the tally remains at zero!

        Meanwhile the claim of ' heaven going for all believers ' is spurious according to the bible story book, however I would be interested to examine upon what story book basis ' heaven going for all believers ' is allegedly legitimately based?

        Tell you what, here's my story book evidence refuting ' heaven going for all story book jesus believers ' -

        The story book unambiguously teaches heaven going for all genuine believers is none sense.

        The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. (Psalm 115:16) KJV story book

        Story book rewards are to be given to by story book christ at his alleged story book return. "And, behold, I come quickly, and MY REWARD IS WITH ME, to give every man according as his work shall be" (Rev. 22:12) story book. Alleged rewards and inheritance are reserved in story book heaven. They come down out of story book heaven with story book christ at his return.

        For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. (Psalm 37: 9) KJV story book

        But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. (Psalm 37:11) KJV story book

        For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off. (Psalm 37:22) KJV story book

        The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. (Psalm 37:29) KJV story book

        Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven. (Matthew 6: 10) KJV story book

        And hast made us unto our God kings and priests : and we shall reign on the earth. (Rev. 5:10) KJV story book


        Your alleged legitimate evidence contradicting that please?

    I'm not sure if I understand the significance of 600 years. The years of Christ's birth and death are highly speculative. Heck, there isn't even definitive proof that he ever existed. We do have fairly conclusive evidence that Muhammad existed, but most of the details of his life are also speculative, including the exact years of his birth and death. The different calendars that have been popularized in the years since have only added to the confusion.

      uhhh. According to Josephus, the first century historian in the employ of the Roman Empire, one Jesus from the area of Nazareth, in Palestine, did, indeed, exist. Further., Herod existed, Pontius Pilate existed, and Joseph Of Arimathea is recorded in other Roman records as a mining minister in the employ of the empire. Whaddaya want? His birth certificate? Maybe Hawaiis got it. Did you check there?

        That is entirely not true. Josephus was not even born, hence he was clearly unable to confirm anything about an alleged Christ. smile

          Josephus was aware of the fall out that was occurring after the crucifixion of Christ. Josephus was born a short 3 to 9 years after the crucifixion.  He saw what was going on while he was growing up.

             That is like saying;  "You weren’t born until a couple of years after the Civil war started,  so,  (from a prospective 2000 years later), what do you know about it?  Nothing ."

        Composer responds: - Josephus was not a contemporary historian. He was born in the year 37 C.E., several years after Jesus' alleged death. There is no way he could have known about Jesus from his own personal experience. At best, he could have recorded the activities of the new cult of Christianity, and what they said about their crucified leader. So, even if Josephus wrote about Jesus, it is not a credible source.

    I don't know that I would place any importance on the year of anything to do with Muhammed, however I do feel that Islam has utmost importance in regards to christian prophecy.

    If you study islamic and christian eschatology (end times prophecies), you will notice a glaring connection. They are not similar, but are mirror opposites in regards to the characters involved. Compare the Islamic 'good guys' (e.g. the Madhi and Isa) and their actions with Christian 'bad guys' (e.g. the Antichrist and False Prophet) and you will see they are the same.

    Don't worry about the dates of Islamic events past. Worry about the predictions of Islamic events to come.
