Muhammad in the Bible David Benjamin KeldaniEdited & Annotated by: Prof. Dawud M. R. Alhanbali & Prof, Dr. Kaseb A. Albadran ( 35 )The Kingdom of God on earth is a Religion, a powerful society of believers in One God equipped with faith and sword to fight for and maintain its existence and absolute independence against the Kingdom of Darkness, against all those who do not believe that God is One, or against those who believe that He has a son, a father ormother, associates and coevals.The religion of God, until Jesus Christ(pbuh), was consigned chiefly to the people of Israel; it was more material and of a national character. Itslawyers, priests, and scribes had disfigured that religion with a gross and superstitious literature of the traditions of their ancestors. Christ condemned those traditions, denounced the Jews and their leaders as “hypocrites” and “the children of the Devil.” Although the demon of idolatry had left Israel, yet later on seven demons had taken possession of that people (Matt. xii. 43-45; Luke xi. 24-26).Christ reformed the old religion; gave a new life and spirit to it; he explained more explicitly the immortality of the human soul,the resurrection and the life in the next world; and publicly announced that the Messiah whom the Jews were expecting was not a Jew or a son of (pbuh), but a son of Ishmael (pbuh) whose name was Ahmad (pbuh), and that he would establish the Kingdom of God upon earth with the power of the Word of God and with sword.3.
