Jesus Foresaw Islam
Did Jesus foretell the future emergence of Islam?
Some believe so.
JESUS DESCRIBES WHO WAS TO COME AFTER HIM
We read from the lips of Jesus (saas), in the Gospel of John, as he is speaking to his disciples, the following prophesy: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you."(John 14:16-17) Jesus (saas) goes on to say: "But the Counselor, the Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." (John 14:26), and further: "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me" (John 15:26) and Further:
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you."(John 16:7-14).
Notice that in various places this Prophesy is for, what is referred to either as a "Comforter" or a "Counselor." -Both of these words are the translations of what is the same word in the Greek manuscript, the Greek word "Paraclete."
'PARACLETE' = 'AHMAD'!!!
There has been much confusion over these verses, and who/what the Paraclete is, although the traditionally accepted view today is that these verses refer to the Holy Spirit. However it is important to note, that this verse is rather ambiguous, and many Christian historians make an interesting note. From The Anchor Bible, Doubleday & Company, Inc, Volume 29A, p. 1135 we read the following VERY interesting note: "…scholars like Spitta, Delafosse, Windisch, Sasse, Bultmann, and Betz have doubted whether this identification is true to the original picture and have suggested that the Paraclete was once an independent salvific figure, later confused with the Holy Spirit."
So this gets us thinking. A lot of early Christians did NOT interpret this to be a Spirit. Very interesting! But, the plot thickens! Let us take another glance at the word "Paraclete."
Paraclete comes from the Greek Root word Parakletos. From this same root word comes it's derivitive, Periklytos, which means, "Praised one." Does anyone know what the Arabic word for "Praised one" is? If you guessed "Muhammad" you are right!

Along with advancement of capitalism and commercialism, Christianity has lost influential power on people. Greedy and immorality have become the norm. Traditional moral codes of conduct have been neglected in pursue of wealth.
Major companies and influential businesses are advertising their goods and services by using TV and diffusing very indecent commercial messages. They are arousing lust of people. They are making consumers buy more goods and services by presenting a fantasy of enjoying rich lives. Churches cannot cope with this trend of desire-driven economy. As a result, while being indecent, greedy, or abnormal, Europeans and Americans think they can be blessed by God to be admitted into Heaven after death. Commercialism has finally brainwashed Christians in Europe and America.
Today, no Christians blame Wall Street for its greedy and Hollywood for its indecency and abnormality. They never blame the British royal family and the noble class for the same reasons.
Even the Pope looks like losing holy and spiritual power. He does not live like a homeless person. He is just one of a member of the European high society.
Then what would God do to Europeans and Americans?
He might use Muslims who look more pious and more obedient to God. God might show that He loves poor Muslims than rich Christians. Or He might request Western Christians to show that their faith is stronger than that of Muslims.
But is is very horrible that this challenge for Christians against Muslims is posed through acts of terrorists or murders who call themselves Muslims.
Maybe through this conflict between Western Christian countries and Islamic terrorists, Christians might feel responsible for this world contaminated by capitalism and commercialism. When this de-facto war between Western countries and Islamic terrorists is over, Christians in the world might come to be closer to Muslims, at least, in enthusiasm for practicing their religion.
And, as Christ Jesus is God, He must have foreseen the rise of Islam long before the birth of holy Muhammad in 570. But the Bible might have omitted His critical words on Islam for some reasons. We may have now only a vague prophecy on Islam in the Christian Gospels.
