THE QURAN PART 2

Introduction:

I am a Christian who writes heavily on the Scriptures. I have read the Quran servral times in the last ten years, the last time about 6 years ago. I go into depth in the scripture. and see many things differently then others. I will attempt to go verse by verse through the Quran also. I am not well educated as far as grammer and spelling. this will show up in abundance. look at the message first, then if truth is seen what difference did who brought the message make? and if truth is not found, search for it elsewhere, but never stop searching for truth. Then maybe later you may desire to return to look again.

I remember the Quran said that when Allah shows a person the truth they are to declare it. I will and do declare what I see as truth. search it out, as I see many things that are very offensive to many people. No matter how bad something sounds, truth is never blaspheme, and no matter how nice something is said about Allah, if it is not truth, it has no value. For God desires truth and not candy coating no matter how sweet.

I remember the quran spoke of the Jewish Holy Scripture which Christians refer to as the "Old Testament" and the "New Testament" as being true, and that Allah will bring it all together. This is what this writting is about, showing how the three goes together.

I am used to writing God and not Allah so many slips might be made, as this is of the Quran I will try to use the name Allah for God as Christians call Him.

Concept 1, Allah uses 2 or three witnesses to establish His Words. as the words of Allah are truth and what man would be a witness to Allah's words? So Allah became His own witnesses. Truth is doubled twice to establish it. As Pharoah's dream was doubled unto him twice because it is established by Allah and He will shortly bring it to pass.

Personal note: I see there will be a problem here as I try to explain things using all three books as reference. so I will copy the verses I am refering to as I go. this will make for a very long book. The Quran says all three books are true, and few read all three together so the other two would not be within their thoughts. As I am ot sure if the Quran shows Pharoah's dream as doubled, I will show it from the Book of Genesis. I use a King James Version of the Bible know as the 1611 edition. This contains both books of the Old Testament and the New Testament. Then when I get to those verses in the Quran about the dream, I will then deal with ay difference in translation.

(GENESIS 41:32) And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. (KJV)
Allah doubles twice to establish it. that means the picture is seen once, Allah doubles and it is seen again, Allah doubles twice or shows the same picture a third time. Similar to showing thw world Allah in the Old Testament, then again in the New Testament, then as a third witness in the Quran. So there are Three Witnesses to Allah all given by Allah.

Personal note: The book of Mormons would claim to be a fourth witness, or at least a witness. It is not. It contains many word for word copies out of the 1611 King James Version of the Bible. The book claims to be translated from golden plates found in the 1800's but written between 600 bc (bce) to 400 ad. Translated by an angel, who took the plates with him. I do not believe an angel would translate in the 1800's in King James 1611 English. As far as the Mormon faith. The parts of truth they have is sufficient as all denominations have some truth and some error. some seen, some unseen.

Allah speaks in similitudes, this is also seen in the Book of Hosea. In the Psalms Allah declares a Son. As a similitude then it can not really be a Son, but like a Son. Here is the differences between the witnesses. Not seeing being called a Son can mean just belonging to Allah in close relationship. and that Son being declares happens to be what Christians call the Body of Christ, but do not see that all mankind is in that Body.

I refer to the day of the cross many times. Allah spoke many things through the prophets. things that like Pharoah's dream would come to pass. The day of the cross is when all comes to pass, every prophecy for one day in time. then that day is taken out of time. time is endless in both directions. taking a day out of time now makes a beginning and an ending in time. the day of the cross is knows as "For ever", "For ever and ever" is the day of the cross plus everlasting future.

Allah promised David to raise his son to be the Son of Allah, The day of the cross is when He does this. This day Jesus becomes "AS ALLAH". Now "AS ALLAH" can mean many thing in a similitude. He is AS ALLAH by having everlasting life, as we all have. He is AS ALLAH by going to live in heaven. He is AS ALLAH the day of the cross. Because of sin which Allah's eyes are too pure to look upon, Jesus is left alone. He can so the will of Allah and die with sin therefore taking sin out of the world, or He can save Himself. in other words Jesus is left in charge of the world, Like Allah.

(ZECHARIAH 12:8) In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; ""and the house of David shall be as God,"" as the angel of the Lord before them. (KJV)
I will cover that which I see as different of hid from view. from here on I will indent any comments to make it easier to see. I started using a version of the Quran that might have a copyright so I changed versions about 2:56 so there may be a difference in wording because of the traslations.

[al-Baqarah 2:200] So when you have performed your devotions, then laud Allah as you lauded your fathers, rather a greater lauding. But there are some people who say, Our Lord! give us in the world, and they shall have no resting place.

Jesus spoke of those that have their rewards by being seen of men, and not doing things in secret that Allah alone would see. Resting is also being in peace with one's self and with Allah. Rest in Allah's Word. for He has directed us correctly.
(MATTHEW 6:2) Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. ""Verily I say unto you, They have their reward."" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 6:3) But when thou doest alms, ""let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:"" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 6:4) ""That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly."" (KJV)
I wish to cover a point about Alms in Secret. Judas had the money bag and was accused of being a thief. This is only seen in one of the gospels and Allah required at least two witnesses. But consider this, If Judas was doing exactly as Jesus spoke here, Then when giving money as alms he would not tell the right hand or the other disciples, so might well appear to them as a thief. And as it was to remain a secret, He would not be allowed to clear himself by showing the matter.
(JOHN 13:23) Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. (KJV) (This is Judas)
(JOHN 13:24) ""Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake."" (KJV)
Note that the Church belived John is the disciple Jesus loved, but John is writing this and refering to the Disciple Jesus loved as "HIM" so it is not John.
(JOHN 13:25) ""He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?"" (KJV)
(JOHN 13:26) ""Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon."" (KJV)
(JOHN 13:27) And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. (KJV) (Judas was the one laying on His breast, Judas is the beloved Disciple, Judas just got the sop.)
(JOHN 13:28) Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. (KJV) (The Disciple laying at His breast knew. But Judas is now leaving. Satan is a name for the Word of Allah, Judas is going to fulfill the will of Allah as the offering of Jesus as the Lamb of God is fore ordained of Allah.
(ACTS 2:23) ""Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God,"" ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: (KJV)
Jesus has to fulfill the Old Testament laws and prophecies to the smallest point, every Jot and Tittle. Jesus does not have to do what the New Testament writers think He did. Here is error. The Wicked hands is wrong, For all the sacrifices to be accepted had to be done under the law, that is why the 144,000 seen in Revelation 14 is without fault before the throne of Allah. Jesus took all sin, So the others have no sin whatsoever. they are clean to offer the sacrifice.
As the day if seen as three pictures the third and final picture is seen as the spotless Lamb of God.
[al-Baqarah 2:201] And there are some among them who say: Our Lord! grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and save us from the chastisement of the fire.

The Problem is "Allah Chastises those he loves." and Allah's Word is like as a fire. So what they desire they do not even know. This is not uncommon as a prayer to Allah, So allow me to make a personal note: We have a certain amount of power to make good in our lives and in the lives of others. So let the good be done in Allah both on earth and in heaven.
(PROVERBS 3:11) ""My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:"" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:202] They shall have (their) portion of what they have earned, and Allah is swift in reckoning.

As the righteousness of Christ is rendered unto man in Job 33:26 all receive all the riches of heaven.
(REVELATION 20:12) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: ""and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."" (KJV)
The Books which are the Scriptures say all iniquity is laid on Christ in Isaiah 53:6 and His righteousness on man in Job 33:26. so their works or each man is credited with what Jesus did.
(REVELATION 20:13) And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: ""and they were judged every man according to their works."" (Or the works of Christ on them) (KJV)
(REVELATION 20:14) And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (KJV)
the second death is to be immersed into Allah's Word, that is why the overcomers of the Church at Smyran are not hurt by the second death. the 7 churches are seven steps to Allah. the Second which is Smyrna is "believe", the first step is just to come and look. They are not hurt by being immersed in Allah's Word like a fire, because they already Believe. Death and Hell are fulfilled the day of the cross as Jesus died and descended into hell.
[al-Baqarah 2:203] And laud Allah during the numbered days; then whoever hastens off in two days, there is no blame on him, and whoever remains behind, there is no blame on him, (this is) for him who guards (against evil), and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, and know that you shall be gathered together to Him.

The day of the Cross seen as 7 days. going to the second is as the second step, they have reached belief. All are gathered unto Allah in the Body of Christ.
Beyond belief is knowing Allah more and more, as the overcomers of the seven churches get more and more, the sixth step we are made a pillar in the Temple of Allah, the seventh we sit with Christ in His throne who is seated next to Allah. So we sit next to Allah in the Body of Christ.
[al-Baqarah 2:204] And among men is he whose speech about the life of this world causes you to wonder, and he calls on Allah to witness as to what is in his heart, yet he is the most violent of adversaries.

The real questions here is 1-Did Allah sent them?, 2-Are they speaking the Truth? 3-What is being refered to as a Violent Adversary? For surely we must die to self to live for Allah.
[al-Baqarah 2:205] And when he turn,s back, he runs along in the land that he may cause mischief in it and destroy the tilth and the stock, and Allah does not love mischief-making.

The day of the cross is seen as three pictures. 1=iniquity, 2=Mischief, 3=Falsehood. Allah does not love seeing the Second picture for that is Jesus in Hell, Where He had to go to get them out.
Edom is seen as a desolate wilderness. Edom os Esau. So Scripture shows "Esau I hated" or Allah hated Jesus was as a Desolate wilderness the time of the Cross.
The day seen as three pictures is also 1=Anger, 2=Fury, 3=Wrath, these are time periods for the day of the cross not attributes of Allah. Nor does Allah hate anyone. As Hate can not exist within Love, and Allah is love.
[al-Baqarah 2:206] And when it is said to him, guard against (the punish ment of) Allah; pride carries him off to sin, therefore hell is sufficient for him; and certainly it is an evil resting place.

Jesus has to get the keys to death and hell. He does this by taking iniquity and not repenting so He dies with sin. As hell is the place for the wicked or evil. Jesus has to make the tree evil to get there. He bears Evil fruit as he brings them all out of Hell. Notice the "Resting place" hell is where they were sleeping till Jesus died for sin. That is why it is refered to as making His bed in hell.
(HOSEA 6:2) ""After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 12:40) ""For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."" (KJV)
Jesus was not three physical days and three physical nights in hell, and this is not jonas three physical days. This is a similiitude for Jesus the day of the cross seen as three pictures of the same day. That is why Jesus seen as Jonah in the whale has weeds wrapped around His head. it is the crown of thorns being placed on Jesus the day of the cross.
(PSALMS 139:8) ""If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there."" (KJV)
(ISAIAH 28:20) ""For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:207] And among men is he who sells himself to seek the pleasure of Allah; and Allah is Affectionate to the servants.

The Sell Himself is to give Himself a Ransome for the world.
[al-Baqarah 2:208] O you who believe! enter into submission one and all and do not follow the footsteps of Shaitan; surely he is your open enemy.

Part of belief is trusting Allah will provide us with the lessons needed for learning. We may not accept them, But Allah will provide them. No person will ever be able to tell Allah "I didn't know, or had no way of knowing that" For only by our unwillingness to seek does not finding come. For as Allah said "Seek and ye shall find" Then all things must be available to be found to seekers who seek with their whole heart. So when something sought can not be found, A good question to ask of Allah is "Are you showing me the answer already and I refuse to accept it as the answer?"
Personal note: A honest enemy is worth more then a friend which agrees all the time with you. For the agreeing is because they are your friend. Allah did not say to love your enemies for no reason. What better way for Allah to send believers messages to, then through their enemies. Then had we done as Allah asks, we can receive the Message, and if we have not, we are not ready to receive messages from Allah. For if we do not complete lesson one, why should Allah send lesson two.
(ISAIAH 28:10) ""For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"" (KJV)
(ISAIAH 28:11) ""For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:209] But if you slip after clear arguments have come to you, then know that Allah is Mighty, Wise.

Allah created man. He knows what is in our hearts. He knows how life itself often distracts us. Allah has planted the seeds. Even if the plant dries up, often the root is still alive. a little moisture from Allah and He is able to make it sprout again.
Personal note: The Temple has a rule that when you entered one gate, you were to go out another gate. This as all things concerning Allah's law has a reason. The gate is the reason you came into the temple, or came into belief. Allah leaves that open so He can bring us in again by the same reason. If we are not there for the right reason, Allah allows us to see and grow, then out we go, hopefully to come in through the right gate. Now the Prince could come in and go out the same gate. When we come in because of love For Allah, not to get, or avoid a punishment then we enter for the correct reason. The clear arguments are reasons to believe. We should have only one reason. that is because we love Allah and desire to be with Him for Eternity.
Jesus spoke of the sheep going in and out and finding pasture, If we do not enter for the right reason. Allah bestows love on us, builts up our love for Him and cast us out for whatever we see as something in ourselves that Allah will not tolerate. Till we overcome is and return, Trusting in the Love of Allah more then our ability to be Holy. Now during all this, Allah has a stopwatch. Allah is seeing how long it takes you to return to Him, and He teaches us to always return. When we learn to always return. leaving the Mercy of Allah as able to overcome any shortcoming we have, then there is no reason to go out anymore.
(JOHN 10:9) I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, ""and shall go in and out,"" and find pasture. (KJV)
(REVELATION 3:12) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, ""and he shall go no more out:"" and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:210] They do not wait aught but that Allah should come to them in the shadows of the clouds along with the angels, and the matter has (already) been decided; and (all) matters are returned to Allah.

the day of the cross is the shadow of death. the clouds are the sins. Jesus coming in the clouds is the day of the cross when Allah lays on Him the iniquity of us all. The Angels are the 144 with Judas, likened to a wall around Jesus which have measured to angel status by adding a cubit to their stature.
(ISAIAH 44:22) ""I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me;"" for I have redeemed thee. (KJV)
(REVELATION 1:7) ""Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him:"" and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (KJV)
(REVELATION 21:17) ""And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel."" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 6:27) ""Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?"" (KJV)
(JOHN 15:13) ""Greater love hath no man than this, ""that a man lay down his life for his friends. (KJV)
This is the measure of a man or the upper limit. above this is adding the cubit or reaching Angel status. As those that love Allah give their lives in service even unto their enemies, they have added the cubit.
(MATTHEW 6:33) ""But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:211] Ask the Israelites how many a clear sign have We given them; and whoever changes the favor of Allah after it has come to him, then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil).

Allah requitted all evil on Jesus. For many signs came to Israel, and Jesus came with more signs. However Allah in Isaiah 29:10/12 blinded Israel. Allah wanted Israel to Crucify Jesus as a sacrifice. And to sleep till 2029 ad from Seeing Jesus is the Messiah. Those Allah has sealed are sealed till Allah opens their eyes.
(ISAIAH 29:10) ""For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered."" (KJV)
(ISAIAH 29:11) ""And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed,"" which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: (KJV)
(ISAIAH 29:12) And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. (KJV)
This same sleep was poured upon the Christians also. they do not see clearly till 2029 ad. 2,000 years after the day of the cross.
(MATTHEW 26:45) Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, ""Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold,"" the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. (KJV)
notice the hour is at hand, so it is not a time for sleep, but this is from seeing as they also have to forsake Jesus and flee. note the next verse after telling them to sleep on.
(MATTHEW 26:46) ""Rise, let us be going:"" behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. (KJV)
(JOB 33:15) ""In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;"" (KJV)
(JOB 33:16) ""Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,"" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:212] The life of this world is made to seem fair to those who disbelieve, and they mock those who believe, and those who guard (against evil) shall be above them on the day of resurrection; and Allah gives means of subsistence to whom he pleases without measure.

Notice the "Made to seem" They are mocking believers for thinking they will be above them on the day of resurrection. And many Believers think this will indeed be the case, But is it? Notice the end of this verse. Allah is giving to Whom He pleases without measure. All mankind gets the righteousness of Christ as Job 33:26 shows. Both Believer and non-believer alike, There is one soul as the next verse shows. Is not one of the main problems on earth the fact one possess more then another. one rich, another poor. People born into riches that have never worked, and those born into poverty that never had rest from work, nor a gain from all their labour.
Who can boast that they came to Allah by their own means and not through the mercy of Allah showing Himself? And if Allah has bestowed on us Mercy in this world that we see Him, Should we then complain that He shows Mercy unto the others in Heaven? Is not seeing Allah as we walk our path on earth blessing enough? Should not our prayer be for all to see Allah and be as breathren?
[al-Baqarah 2:213] ""(All) people are a single nation;"" so Allah raised prophets as bearers of good news and as warners, ""and He revealed with them the Book with truth,"" that it might judge between people in that in which they differed; and none but the very people who were given it differed about it after clear arguments had come to them, revolting among themselves; so Allah has guided by His will those who believe to the truth about which they differed and Allah guides whom He pleases to the right path.

Notice Allah guides to the right path. Not we found the right path, or chose the right path. Notice also it is not a Boof of Truth, But with Truth. it has to be searched out of the Book.
[al-Baqarah 2:214] Or do you think that you would enter the garden while yet the state of those who have passed away before you has not come upon you; distress and affliction befell them and they were shaken violently, so that the Apostle and those who believed with him said: When will the help of Allah come? Now surely the help of Allah is nigh!

The Help of Allah is with the affliction and how others see believers in it. If being a believer in Allah ment no affliction, then believers would be multiplied for want of peace, If belivers had sufficient then would beievers come so they would not have poverty, the same as sickness. So Believers suffer the same as the world. Afflictions, poverty, sickness. Allah giving no incentives to come unto Him so people do not come for the wrong reason. Love for Allah is why we should come, and the only reason. love is the only reason we should labour for Allah, not for gain or to avoid punishment. The help of Allah that is nigh is to help us go through the things of the world, knowing that Allah will never forsake us.
[al-Baqarah 2:215] They ask you as to what they should spend. Say: Whatever wealth you spend, it is for the parents and the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, and whatever good you do, Allah surely knows it.

As all things done for Allah, The question is not what but how, Out of the heart. If the heart is right and need seen there is not a question.
[al-Baqarah 2:216] Fighting is enjoined on you, and his an object of dislike to you; and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know.

As Allah knows what we need compared to our seeing what we want, Allah sends what we often do not desire in our lives. We can not learn to love our enemies without having them, and often times having loving relationships would take too much time from seeking Allah for we would place our searching aside. The fewer the pleasures or the things found pleasurable, the more time for the real things of meaning. for pleasure is for the moment, The Love of Allah for eternity. So if fighting something turns us from a path. Allah might have been the one that directed us in a new direction. For Allah knows what turns us right, left, stops us, or speeds us up. And a prayer to Allah to direct us is not inappropriate.
[al-Baqarah 2:217] They ask you concerning the sacred month about fighting in it. Say: Fighting in it is a grave matter, and hindering (men) from Allah's way and denying Him, and (hindering men from) the Sacred Mosque and turning its people out of it, are still graver with Allah, and persecution is graver than slaughter; and they will not cease fighting with you until they turn you back from your religion, if they can; and whoever of you turns back from his religion, then he dies while an unbeliever-- these it is whose works shall go for nothing in this world and the hereafter, and they are the inmates of the fire; therein they shall abide.

the day is seen as a hour, day, month and a year. the month is sunrise to noon as Jesus is beaten. "With His stripes we are healed." During this time of Judgment they denighed Jesus, Mocking and fighting Allah himself, as whosoever Allah sends is a messenger. you do not reject the messenger but the message. Jesus is the sacred Mosque as the Body of Christ is born the day of the cross with all mankind in it. As long as they will not stop fighting will you "Till" they turn you, then in enduring their hatred with your love from Allah. They see not that Allah has delivered them unto you to show them the love of Allah, their need to be right and have you confirm it gives us the oppertunity to witness to them. Allah's Word is seen like as a fire in Jeremiah 23:29. "the Lord upholdeth all who fall" is scriptural. Not all are strong in faith, but all are saved by grace. And the falling of a weaker will surely have their victor try for another. And sooner or later they will meet one that knows Allah well. and the victory they desire will be changed into real victory in coming to Allah. Paul heavily persecuted Christians. He was calles Saul then, when converted this lead Paul to preach harder then most, endure more then most, and to love Allah more then most. Those that are forgiven more, loveth more. So the harder a person fights Allah. see them as the potential of Loving Allah and serving Him with the same zeal if not more.
[al-Baqarah 2:218] Surely those who believed and those who fled (their home) and strove hard in the way of Allah these hope for the mercy of Allah and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

As Peter told Jesus, "We left all."
(MARK 10:28) ""Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee."" (KJV)
(MARK 10:29) And Jesus answered and said, ""Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,"" (KJV)
(MARK 10:30) ""But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life."" (KJV)
As Allah keeps us hungry as we reach for others this does not seen to have happened, but look back at all thou has shared the words of Allah with, all that have been long forgotten, all the eyes that did light up as they saw an Allah that loves them. Know we have gotten and get some more.
[al-Baqarah 2:219] They ask you about intoxicants and games of chance. Say: In both of them there is a great sin and means of profit for men, and their sin is greater than their profit. And they ask you as to what they should spend. Say: What you can spare. Thus does Allah make clear to you the communications, that you may ponder

First, There is nothing the love of Allah is not greate than. Allah's love is greater then our hatred or greed. He is Able to love all. Many need to know there are no barriers to Allah's love. Many feel that Allah can not love a heavy drinker or a gambler.
Personally I think Allah loves a heavy gambler. for is this not what following Allah is all about. Putting it all on the line, Betting it all on Allah. When Jesus said to "sell all that you have, and give to the poor and take up your cross and follow Me." This is the gamble of a life time. Now many a heavy gambler has walked from the table broke. And yet will sit down again in another day and again bet it all. So a gambler gets used to putting everything on the line for a dream of riches. and surely Allah is the greatest riches that exist.
[al-Baqarah 2:220] On this world and the hereafter. And they ask you concerning the orphans Say: To set right for them (their affairs) is good, and if you become co-partners with them, they are your brethren; and Allah knows the mischief-maker and the pacemaker, and if Allah had pleased, He would certainly have caused you to fall into a difficulty; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.

There are no orphans if a person will be a parent. All are Allah's children. The ones that you physically had are no different in the sight of Allah then the one's whose parents died or who was cast away. Allah gave children to the world, all are ours. As Jesus said of the things of Allah, "All Thine is Mine, and all Mine is Thine."
[al-Baqarah 2:221] And do not marry the idolatresses until they believe, and certainly a believing maid is better than an idolatress woman, even though she should please you; and do not give (believing women) in marriage to idolaters until they believe, and certainly a believing servant is better than an idolater, even though he should please you; these invite to the fire, and Allah invites to the garden and to forgiveness by His will, and makes clear His communications to men, that they may be mindful.

Allah knows we pick and choose who to speak to concerning Allah. If we love a person we preach heavy. If we do not like them, chances are we will never tell them of the love of Allah. So Allah lists reasons to speak here. and they are good reasons as family units exist better with all believers then with strife within. One believing and another not as they both contend day after day till the argument silence both parties.
[al-Baqarah 2:222] And they ask you about menstruation. Say: It is a discomfort; therefore keep aloof from the women during the menstrual discharge and do not go near them until they have become clean; then when they have cleansed themselves, go in to them as Allah has commanded you; surely Allah loves those who turn much (to Him), and He loves those who purify themselves.

As this does come upon women unawares at times, The act is not against Allah. this happens. Know the love of Allah places love above commandments, and grace over sinning. for if all were clean, wherefore would grace be needed. and where grace abounds, what charge could be made?
(ROMANS 5:20) Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. ""But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:"" (KJV)
(ROMANS 5:21) ""That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:223] Your wives are a tilth for you, so go into your tilth when you like, and do good beforehand for yourselves, and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, and know that you will meet Him, and give good news to the believers.

[al-Baqarah 2:224] And make not Allah because of your swearing (by Him) an obstacle to your doing good and guarding (against evil) and making peace between men, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

swearing is in Oath, Vow, Covenant, Promise, Pledge, even a statment is swearing. For we bind ourselves in our own pride. So in stead of doing Good for Allah we do to fulfill our own words. For by our heart should Allah be served, not because we promised to do it and it is now as a chore.
(MATTHEW 5:34) But I say unto you, ""Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:"" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 5:35) Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. (KJV)
(MATTHEW 5:36) ""Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black."" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 5:37) ""But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:225] Allah does not call you to account for what is vain in your oaths, but He will call you to account for what your hearts have earned, and Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.

as all iniquity is laid on Jesus, the vanity of the oath or the pride of it is already taken care of. Allah is calling you in accout of if you did it with your heart. for Allah commends on this.
[al-Baqarah 2:226] Those who swear that they will not go in to their wives should wait four months; so if they go back, then Allah is surely Forgiving, Merciful.

four months is a long time. Here Allah is taking a promise and showing them not to do such things. They will hesitate before making this oath again. Seen as forgiving if they go back, Trying to teach men to do right, without the promises and the oaths. Just do out of your heart, do not try to impress Allah with a statement then fail.
[al-Baqarah 2:227] And if they have resolved on a divorce, then Allah is surely Hearing, Knowing.

Jesus said that except for the cause of fornication. Fornication is not the spouse having sex outside marriage, that is Adultery. Fornication is the spouse loving someone else. So if your spouse loves another person, take the wrong and set them free. Out of love for them. All the parables Jesus spoke was always to take the wrong out of love.
[al-Baqarah 2:228] And the divorced women should keep themselves in waiting for three courses; and it is not lawful for them that they should conceal what Allah has created in their wombs, if they believe in Allah and the last day; and their husbands have a better right to take them back in the meanwhile if they wish for reconciliation; and they have rights similar to those against them in a just manner, and the men are a degree above them, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

The love for a child could be greater then their dislike for each other, or their wanting another instead of the spouse.
I see a problem with how I am addressing these verses. Allah shows the day of the cross in detail and I am taking this as the things He has attatched to show instruction.
Jesus is seen as the bride of Allah in Isaiah 62:5. the day of the cross is the birth of mankind to Allah, This is the child that is concealed in the womb. the three courses is the day seen as three pictures. Because of sin Jesus is cast out or divorced as this similitude shows.
(ISAIAH 62:5) ""For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee."" (KJV)
(ZECHARIAH 9:9) Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, ""thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass."" (KJV)
This is Jesus coming in on the birth of mankind, not His entry into Jerusalem the week before. Jesus did not become a King till the day of the cross, He was still a prince when Judas betrayed Him.
(GENESIS 49:11) ""Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine;"" he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: (KJV)
Binding Jesus to the birth of mankind the day of the cross.
(JOB 11:12) For vain man would be wise, ""though man be born like a wild ass's colt."" (KJV)
(JEREMIAH 4:31) ""For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers."" (KJV)
the death of Christ at Calvary brought in the Birth of Mankind to Allah by the removal of sin. Here Jesus is separated from God because of sin and the child is hid in the Womb which is the day of the cross seen as three pictures or courses.
(ISAIAH 50:1) ""Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away?"" or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. (KJV)
Jesus is likened to the Bride of Allah, and for their transgressions is Jesus seen as Divorced from Allah or put away.
(JEREMIAH 3:1) They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; ""yet return again to me, saith the Lord."" (KJV)
This is why Jesus is seen as married to Allah in Ezekiel 16:8 then plays the harlot as He reaches for all mankind and pours out love to all. As every jot and tittle has to be fulfilled, it is seen as Allah saying to His Bride whom He is seen as having divorced in Isaiah 50:1 as saying to return. and the child in the womb is the Birth of Mankind to Allah by the removal of sin.
[al-Baqarah 2:229] Divorce may be (pronounced) twice, then keep (them) in good fellowship or let (them) go with kindness; and it is not lawful for you to take any part of what you have given them, unless both fear that they cannot keep within the limits of Allah; then if you fear that they cannot keep within the limits of Allah, there is no blame on them for what she gives up to become free thereby. These are the limits of Allah, so do not exceed them and whoever exceeds the limits of Allah these it is that are the unjust.

As Pharoah's dream was doubled twice to establish it by Allah, here the Divorce is pronounced twice. Once declared in Isaiah 50:1 as Just seen, Agaain declared in Jeremiah 3:8, So it has been Declared twice in Scripture.
(JEREMIAH 3:8) And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery ""I had put her away, and given her a bill of Divorce;"" yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. (KJV)
the day has got to be seen as three pictures. as the third picture is seen the 7 days are shortened back to one day. so the parts are seen as given up or perish as Allah makes the one day into Truth.
[al-Baqarah 2:230] So if he divorces her she shall not be lawful to him afterwards until she marries another husband; then if he divorces her there is no blame on them both if they return to each other (by marriage), if they think that they can keep within the limits of Allah, and these are the limits of Allah which He makes clear for a people who know.

The day seen as three pictures. Jesus starts out will Allah, Reaches to those in hell or outside Israel and is seen as Joining with them in marriage, then the third picture seen as rejoined to Allah when Resurrected. All similitudes for the day of the cross seen in different ways of looking at it.
[al-Baqarah 2:231] And when you divorce women and they reach their prescribed time, then either retain them in good fellowship or set them free with liberality, and do not retain them for injury, so that you exceed the limits, and whoever does this, he indeed is unjust to his own soul; and do not take Allah's communications for a mockery, and remember the favor of Allah upon you, and that which He has revealed to you of the Book and the Wisdom, admonishing you thereby; and be careful (of your duty to) Allah, and know that Allah is the Knower of all things.

As the third day mankind is reconsiled with Allah and Jesus sits at the right hand of Allah, He has been retained in good fellowship. As the day is seen over and over in the different similitudes, all of these situations are seen, as set free and as being retained. Every Word of Allah must be seen where it was fulfilled in scripture.
Like the curse for Satan to crawl on His belly all the days of His life and eat dust. As all curses lie on Jesus, this has to have happened in some way. Jesus is the son of David born outside wedlock in 1004 bc to Bathsheba. Allah struck the child and it was sick. A sick child is laid on their belly because of the possibility of the vomit choking them. so this baby crawls on it's belly al seven days, and eats dust. Allah then moves this 1,000 years to the day of the cross by Psalms 90:4 and it is all done in Christ the day of the cross, then Satan seen walking in the book of Job is not a contridiction at all. Satan is a name for the "word of Allah", We do not have to like what Allah choses for use as a similitude. As Scripture shows, Allah uses things that are despised, by man that is.
(1CORINTHIANS 1:28) ""And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:"" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:232] And when you have divorced women and they have ended-- their term (of waiting), then do not prevent them from marrying their husbands when they agree among themselves in a lawful manner; with this is admonished he among you who believes in Allah and the last day, this is more profitable and purer for you; and Allah knows while you do not know.

Jesus said except for the cause of fornication. this is not if a spouse cheats, but if the spouce loves another. for if a spouse loves another, the marriage has died.
[al-Baqarah 2:233] And the mothers should suckle their children for two whole years for him who desires to make complete the time of suckling; and their maintenance and their clothing must be-- borne by the father according to usage; no soul shall have imposed upon it a duty but to the extent of its capacity; neither shall a mother be made to suffer harm on account of her child, nor a father on account of his child, and a similar duty (devolves) on the (father's) heir, but if both desire weaning by mutual consent and counsel, there is no blame on them, and if you wish to engage a wet-nurse for your children, there is no blame on you so long as you pay what you promised for according to usage; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah and know that Allah sees what you do.

The Birth of the Body of Christ is doubled twice to establish it as truth, seen here a 2 years. Kings are seen as the second picture for the day of the cross.
(ISAIAH 49:23) ""And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers:"" they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. (KJV)
As these are pictures for the day of the cross and the prophecies of them, they bow down to the earth which is as Jesus. The dust of thy feet is the disciples which had to be shaken off because the House of Israel did not receive Jesus. Though the Disciples did flee from Jesus the day of the cross as all the prophecies have to be fulfilled ("I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered") they are still together when Jesus raises the third day. Jesus appears to the eleven, as Thomas is not there, Judas is there and still alive.
(MARK 16:14) ""Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat,"" and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. (KJV)
(JOHN 20:24) ""But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came."" (KJV)
(JOHN 20:25) ""The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord."" But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. (KJV)
(JOHN 20:26) ""And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them:"" then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. (KJV)
(1CORINTHIANS 15:4) And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (KJV)
(1CORINTHIANS 15:5) And that he was seen of Cephas, ""then of the twelve:"" (KJV)
Judas was still alive when another is picked to repalce him in the book of acts "that he might go to his own place" something a dead man could not do. Judas is the beloved Disciple, not John.
(ACTS 1:25) That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, ""from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:234] And (as for) those of you who die and leave wives behind, they should keep themselves in waiting for four months and ten days; then when they have fully attained their term, there is no blame on you for what they do for themselves in a lawful manner; and Allah is aware of what you do.

the day of the cross seen as an hour, a day, a month, and a year. the day seen as 4 6-hour time periods is as 4 months, the whole day as 7 time periods and three pictures are the 10 days, also seen as 10 100 year periods for the 1,000 year day which is the reign of Christ the day of the cross. 930 years alive as Adam, 70 years dead or desolate as Jerusalem. the 144 live and reign with Jesus for 1,000 years so they cover for when He is dead.
(REVELATION 20:4) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; ""and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."" (KJV)
as the head is who is in charge during the different time periods, they are beheaded when no longer in charge. Jesus is as a lion, and as a Lamb, both are beasts. Mark the perfect man refers to Jesus.
(DEUTERONOMY 28:13) ""And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath;"" if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: (KJV)
(ISAIAH 9:14) ""Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day."" (KJV)
as the children of the Kingdom are cast into outer darkness with Jesus seen as the one without a wedding garment when He takes sin, head and tail are cut off, leaving the Body of Christ. For the head of Christ is Allah.
(1CORINTHIANS 11:3) But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; ""and the head of Christ is God."" (KJV)
because of sin, Jesus has nowhere to Rest His Head. or God can not Rest till sin is taken out of the world. as the day of the cross is the Creation Story, on the seventh day, which is the third picture or the day seen as a whole day, God rests.
(MATTHEW 8:20) And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; ""but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."" (KJV)
(ISAIAH 18:4) For so the Lord said unto me, ""I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place"" like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. (KJV)
(ISAIAH 26:19) Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: ""for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead."" (KJV)
the dew is the Third day when Jesus rose with all in hell, Hell ended the third day, as sin has ended, Allah now rests with man from His great works which is what Allah gave unto Jesus to do. Mankind is created in the image of Allah or in Christ the day of the cross.
(ISAIAH 66:1) Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: ""where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?"" (KJV)
(PROVERBS 9:1) ""Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:"" (KJV)
(2SAMUEL 7:13) ""He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever."" (KJV)
Solomon does not fit the prophecy for He was made King while David was still alive, and Jesus is established the day of the cross which is the time period known as "for ever".
[al-Baqarah 2:235] And there is no blame on you respecting that which you speak indirectly in the asking of (such) women in marriage or keep (the proposal) concealed within your minds; Allah knows that you will mention them, but do not give them a promise in secret unless you speak in a lawful manner, and do not confirm the marriage tie until the writing is fulfilled, and know that Allah knows what is in your minds, therefore beware of Him, and know that Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.

The marriage of Allah to Jesus in Ezekiel 16:8 is concealed, sealed as hidden till Allah reveals it. Seen as a marriage in Ezekiel 16, and as a Son in Psalms 2:6/7 which is by Decree or lawful. We become one when all the prophecies are made truth by being fulfilled as three pictures or three witnesses. The we become one as They are one, as in a marriage or a joining together.
[al-Baqarah 2:236] There is no blame on you if you divorce women when you have not touched them or appointed for them a portion, and make provision for them, the wealthy according to his means and the straitened in circumstances according to his means, a provision according to usage; (this is) a duty on the doers of good (to others).

The day seen as 7 time periods, also seen as taking wives, when one day ends another is joined, each has a portion of the day of the cross.
(ISAIAH 4:1) ""And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach."" (KJV)
the seven women are seven time periods all called by the name of the Word of God, divided into 7 days by Isaiah 30:26. seen as divorced, and joined in marriage as Allah seperates and gathers.
[al-Baqarah 2:237] And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have appointed for them a portion, then (pay to them) ha!f of what you have appointed, unless they relinquish or he should relinquish in whose hand is the marriage tie; and it is nearer to righteousness that you should relinquish; and do not neglect the giving of free gifts between you; surely Allah sees what you do.

the righteousness of Christ is the free gift given unto man, which includes His Faith which saves us all, His Works wereby we each get all the rewards of heaven, His death whereby all sin has passed away.
(EPHESIANS 2:8) ""For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"" (KJV)
(EPHESIANS 2:9) ""Not of works, lest any man should boast."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:238] Attend constantly to prayers and to the middle prayer and stand up truly obedient to Allah.

the day as three pictures, the middle being Jesus in hell where He prays unto Allah seen in Similitude as Jonah in the whale. Jesus has to pray from out of hell to fulfill all prophecies. Even to "Stand up" is part of the prophecies that have to be fulfilled.
(JONAH 2:1) ""Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly,"" (KJV)
(JONAH 2:2) And said, ""I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice."" (KJV)
(DANIEL 7:4) ""The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it."" (KJV)
The Lion is the first time period, the eagle's wings are the 6 hours from noon to sunset when the fourth beast as a flying Eagle is seen in the book of Revealtion as Jesus is on the cross and commends His spirit unto Allah., Now the second Picture starts, back to the feet which is the first time period, Now standing as a man, with a man's heart.
[al-Baqarah 2:239] But if you are in danger, then (say your prayers) on foot or on horseback; and when you are secure, then remember Allah, as. He has taught you what you did not know.

The danger is during the first time period as Jesus knows what is about to come, the first picture is seen as the first 4 seals which is the four horses.
(JEREMIAH 12:5) ""If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses?"" and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? (KJV)
the "swelling of Jordan" is seen at the time of Harvest as Jesus goes over all the banks and reaches for all mankind.
(JOSHUA 3:15) And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (""for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)"" (KJV)
similitude for Jesus being lifted on the cross by the priests, Pilate told the priests "You take Him and Crucify Him, I find no fault in the man." The Priests had to offer the sacrifice under the law. Tehy were told when they crossed Jordan into the promise land to stay beck 2,000 cubits from seeing the Levites lifing the Ark. this is a similitude for wait 2,000 years from Calvary, then in 2029 ad, follow Christ.
(JOSHUA 3:3) And they commanded the people, saying, ""When ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it,"" (Calvary) ""then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it."" (KJV)
(JOSHUA 3:4) ""Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure:"" come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore. (KJV)
29 ad is the time of the cross, 2029 ad is when Israel will see the face of the Serpent or Jesus in Truth. Time=4,000 years, creation story is 3975 bc, baptism is 25 ad.
(GALATIANS 4:4) ""But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,"" (KJV)
As Jesus is carried by the spirit into the wilderness or to the day of the cross, and The Book of Revelation is the day of the cross, it is seen there "There shall be Time no longer".
(REVELATION 10:6) And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, ""that there should be time no longer:"" (KJV)
(REVELATION 10:7) ""But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets."" (KJV)
Christ's 42 month ministry, or the 42 months given to continue in the book of Revelation is the voice of the seventh angel. Notice the "Mystery of God sould be finished", not knowing the answers to the mystery. All the prophecies fulfilled are as sealed, or hid till Allah shows people, or the world.
Times is the day of the cross seen as 2,000 years in Ecclesiastes 6:6 and Psalms 90:4, then the dividing of time, or half a time is from the cross is 29 ad to 2029 ad when Israel will follow Christ after seeing Him in Truth as the Serpent.
(ECCLESIASTES 6:6) Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place? (KJV)
(PSALMS 90:4) For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. (KJV)
(REVELATION 12:14) And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, ""where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."" (KJV)
As all prophecies are made truth the day of the cross, this is done, the similitude for seeing Christ as the serpent is 2029 ad. But they will see Jesus is the Crist, the Messiah, and the Serpent all in the Truth of Scripture.
(DANIEL 7:25) And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: ""and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:240] And those of you who die and leave wives behind, (make) a bequest in favor of their wives of maintenance for a year without turning (them) out, then if they themselves go away, there is no blame on you for what they do of lawful deeds by themselves, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

Each of the seven time periods is also seen as a year each. The prophecies and laws for a widow or widower also have to be fulfilled the day of the cross as all of Allah's Words are made truth.
[al-Baqarah 2:241] And for the divorced women (too) provision (must be made) according to usage; (this is) a duty on those who guard (against evil).

[al-Baqarah 2:242] Allah thus makes clear to you His communications that you may understand.

Notice the words "May Understand", This does not mean you will, and the word "may" is to allow, which means the understanding is not required of man.
[al-Baqarah 2:243] Have you not considered those who went forth from their homes, for fear of death, and they were thousands, then Allah said to them, Die; again He gave them life; most surely Allah is Gracious to people, but most people are not grateful.

Allah asking about remembering those that are dead, they are revived the second day when the righteousness of Christ is rendered unto man, this is where Allah is gracious, Not only gave them life, But removed all sin and accounted them with the righteousness of Christ.
When Jesus is seen in Hell in Isiah chapter 14, These are people that were dead that is looking at Him. Are they seen as grateful to be alive? No, they are asking why He has not set His prisoners free. They do not know they have to wait till the third day to be raised up.
(HOSEA 6:2) ""After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up,"" and we shall live in his sight. (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:244] And fight in the way of Allah, and know that Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

First is to see what the way of Allah is, Then Love thy enemy, that we might be as our Father in Heaven.
(MATTHEW 5:44) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (KJV)
(MATTHEW 5:45) ""That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:"" for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:245] Who is it that will offer of Allah a goodly gift, so He will multiply it to him manifold, and Allah straitens and amplifies, and you shall be returned to Him.

Surely there is one goodly gift Allah desires, and that is our heart given to Allah in service. The Love given to Allah is multiplied in us, and poured out as Living Fountains of Water.
(REVELATION 7:17) For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, ""and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters:"" and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (KJV)
(JOHN 4:10) Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; ""thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water."" (KJV)
(JOHN 4:14) But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; ""but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:246] Have you not considered the chiefs of the children of Israel after Musa, when they said to a prophet of theirs: Raise up for us a king, (that) we may fight in the way of Allah. He said: May it not be that you would not fight if fighting is ordained for you? They said: And what reason have we that we should not fight in the way of Allah, and we have indeed been compelled to abandon our homes and our children. But when fighting was ordained for them, they turned back, except a few of them, and Allah knows the unjust.

The Children entering into the promise land was a similitude for the day of the cross. They refused to go in and possess the land. Josuha and Caleb being the exceptions. A land that swallows up the inhabitants. Or Jesus consumes all into the body of Christ, Cities walled up unto Heaven, These are pictures for the day of the cross, Jesus is the generation that must perish before they may enter. The day of the cross is the wilderness they wander in for 40 years. The fighting is the day of the cross. fulfilling the law by offering Jesus.
[al-Baqarah 2:247] And their prophet said to them: Surely Allah has raised Talut to be a king over you. They said: How can he hold kingship over us while we have a greater right to kingship than he, and he has not been granted an abundance of wealth? He said: Surely Allah has chosen him in preference to you, and He has increased him abundantly in knowledge and physique, and Allah grants His kingdom to whom He pleases, and Allah is Amplegiving, Knowing.

Talut or Saul was the one Samuel was sent a anoint as King. Saul was of the Tribe of Benjamin. The right to Kingship would be seen as the tribe of Judah because of the prophecies or blessings of Jacob (Israel) seein in Genesis chapter 49. Reuben although firstborn lost the right of the firstborn for going in unto His Father's concubine.
(GENESIS 49:10) ""The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come;"" and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (KJV)
(1SAMUEL 10:9) And it was so, that when he (Saul) had turned his back to go from Samuel, ""God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day."" (KJV)
These verses show the signs Allah was speaking about.
(1SAMUEL 9:27) And as they were going down to the end of the city, ""Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on), but stand thou still a while, that I may shew thee the word of God."" (KJV)
Jesus sends forth those out of hell before Him as arrows sent forth unto heaven.
(1SAMUEL 10:1) Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, ""Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?"" (KJV)
The day of the cross is seen as 3 pictures, 1=Princes, 2=Kings, 3=Captains. seen also with Elijah, 2 captains and their fifty men are consumed with fire with "If I am a Man of God, let fire come down and consume you" the third fifty and the Captain live. or the day seen three ways, consumed by God's word like as a fire. the third is established as truth.
(2KINGS 1:9) Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. ""And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down."" (KJV)
(2KINGS 1:10) And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, ""If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty."" (KJV)
(2KINGS 1:11) Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, ""O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly."" (KJV) (the same picture, with the similitude changed slighty as to the wording to Elijah.)
(2KINGS 1:12) And Elijah answered and said unto them, ""If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty."" (KJV) ( "let fire" instead of "then let fire".)
(2KINGS 1:13) And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, ""O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight."" (KJV)
(2KINGS 1:14) Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight. (KJV)
(2KINGS 1:15) ""And the angel of the Lord said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him."" And he arose, and went down with him unto the king. (KJV)
(1SAMUEL 10:2) When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son? (KJV)
Jesus has saved those out of hell, the asses were lost in the wilderness or in the day of the cross.
(1SAMUEL 10:3) Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine: (KJV)
the similitude is for Jesus going up to God, three similitudes of three items, or each of the three pictures have to be seen 3 ways to establish it as truth, doubled twice to eastablish then god brings it to pass. the bottle of wine, is the wine of the wrath of God which fell on Jesus for mankind, the wine is the blood of Christ.
(1SAMUEL 10:4) ""And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands."" (KJV)
Jesus is the bread of life, Two are a similitude, Jesus has to command the stone to be made bread which is a similitude for Jesus having to fulfill the prophecies.
(1SAMUEL 10:5) ""After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines:"" and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy: (KJV)
The Philistines are a similitude for the heathen. the garrison is hell. the Prophets are coming down from the high places, now the prophecies are for the lower places or for hell. The Psaltery would be a Psalms about hell, Psalms 16 would come into mind. the whole psalm would need to be searched out to be sure.
(PSALMS 16:10) ""For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption."" (KJV)
(1SAMUEL 10:6) ""And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man."" (KJV)
Jesus which is the Son of David, Now is made as The Son of Allah by Zechariah 12:8.
(ZECHARIAH 12:8) In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; ""and the house of David shall be as God,"" as the angel of the Lord before them. (KJV)
(1SAMUEL 10:7) ""And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee."" (KJV)
Jesus as God delivers up the Kingdom to Allah. With all sin eliminated, for the Law is fulfilled, and where no law is, there is no sin.
(1CORINTHIANS 15:24) ""Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father;"" when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. (KJV)
Jesus takes away the sin of the World, and delivers up the Kingdom to Allah, The Devil is Allah's Holy Name. The Temptaions of Christ in the Wilderness is at the day of the cross where the spirit has carried Jesus to.
(LUKE 4:6) ""And the Devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it."" (KJV)
Jesus delivers up the Kingdom to Allah, and Allah gives the Kingdom back to Jesus.
(MATTHEW 28:18) ""And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:248] And the prophet said to them: Surely the sign of His kingdom is, that there shall come to you the chest in which there is tranquillity from your Lord and residue of the relics of what the children of Musa and the children of Haroun have left, the angels bearing it; most surely there is a sign in this for those who believe.

This is referencing the Ark of the Covenant. Within the Ark originaly was the Ten Commandments given to Moses, A jar full of Manna that Allah fed the with in the wilderness for 40 years, and the Rod of Arron that budded.
Jesus is the Ark of the Covenant. Jesus is a similitude for the bread that came down from heaven. Jesus is a similitude for the Rod that budded or as Allah has chose Him as High Priest. Within Jesus is the law. Jesus fulfilled the law for all mankind. The day of the cross the 144 with Judas are the Angles bearing up the Ark, they bear Him up on a cross. In similitude when Josuha crossed with the children of Israel into the promise land, they were told when they see the Ark and the Levites (Priests) bearing It up, to follow It, but to stay back 2,000 cubits. This is a similitude for when they saw the Priests bearing Jesus who is the Ark up at Calvary, they are to wait 2,000 years till 2029 ad then follow Jesus as they see He is the Christ.
[al-Baqarah 2:249] So when Talut departed with the forces, he said: Surely Allah will try you with a river; whoever then drinks from it, he is not of me, and whoever does not taste of it, he is surely of me, except he who takes with his hand as much of it as fills the hand; but with the exception of a few of them they drank from it. So when he had crossed it, he and those who believed with him, they said: We have today no power against Jalut and his forces. Those who were sure that they would meet their Lord said: How often has a small party vanquished a numerous host by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient.

Allah speaks in similitudes. This is quite different in that Saul or Talut is not who this picture is seen as in the Old Testament. The story is of Gideon, Allah reduces the forces of Gideon against the Midianites till He was down to 300. He did this by the manner that they drank of the water. This is a similitude for the day of the cross, those that bowed down to the water were not used. Those that lapped at the water with their tongues like a dog were used. Or Allah used those that spoke aginst Christ, not those that bowed down to Him, Jesus is the Living Water.
A large force would seem a battle, But few people defeating a far greater force is then seen as the Work of Allah.
(JUDGES 7:1) Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. (KJV)
(JUDGES 7:2) ""And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me."" (KJV)
(JUDGES 7:3) Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. (32,000 down to 10,000) (KJV)
(JUDGES 7:4) ""And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there:"" and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. (KJV)
(JUDGES 7:5) So he brought down the people unto the water: ""and the Lord said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself;"" likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. (KJV)
(JUDGES 7:6) ""And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men:"" but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. (KJV)
(JUDGES 7:7) ""And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you,"" and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place. (KJV)
out of 32,000 men, Allah chose 300 who spoke against Jesus. These take lamps hidden in jars around the camp of the Midianites. or Allah's Words sealed from being seen defeats sin, death, and hell the day of the cross.
(JUDGES 7:12) And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. (KJV)
(JUDGES 7:13) And when Gideon was come, behold, there was ""a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along."" (KJV)
(JUDGES 7:14) And his fellow answered and said, ""This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host."" (KJV)
the valley is the second picture for the day of the Cross seen as Hell, the sword is the second picture, Allah has delivered all those in hell into the hands of Christ. the breaking of the lamps is showing the Words of Allah, that all are saved by grace, and on the third day all are raised unto Allah.
(HOSEA 6:2) ""After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."" (KJV)
(ZECHARIAH 9:11) ""As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water."" (KJV)
(ISAIAH 26:19) ""Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise."" Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, ""and the earth shall cast out the dead."" (KJV)
Hell ceased to exist after the third day.
(PSALMS 37:10) ""For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be."" (KJV)
Jesus takes the sins of the world, He dies with them all and He is not, Allah raises Him the third day. Then hell or the place of the wicked ceases to exist.
[al-Baqarah 2:250] And when they went out against Jalut and his forces they said: Our Lord, pour down upon us patience, and make our steps firm and assist us against the unbelieving people.

the pouring down of patience is when Joshua asked Allah for more time during a battle, So Allah made the sun to stand still in the sky. Similitude for the day of the Cross seen as three physical days in hell. like Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a whale (Jesus said whale, Jonah shows great fish.) There were not three physical days and nights, But one seen as three pictures, When Jonah has the weeds wrapped around His head in the fish's belly that is the Crown of Thorns placed on Jesus.
As these are similitudes, they are each seen differently.
(JOSHUA 10:12) Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, ""and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon."" (KJV)
(JOSHUA 10:13) ""And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."" (KJV)
(JOSHUA 10:14) ""And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man:"" for the Lord fought for Israel. (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:251] So they put them to flight by Allah's permission. And Dawood slew Jalut, and Allah gave him kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of what He pleased. And were it not for Allah's repelling some men with others, the earth would certainly be in a state of disorder; but Allah is Gracious to the creatures.

the similitude for David and Goliath is Jesus against the law and the priesthood. Jesus is the stone cast.
(DANIEL 2:34) Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. (KJV)
(DANIEL 2:35) Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. (KJV)
Nebuchadnezzar's dream where the stone smites the huge image. and scatters it to the 7 time periods, or which 4 are seen as the four winds. Jesus is the Great Mountain as the Body of Christ with all mankind in it is as Mount Zion.
[al-Baqarah 2:252] These are the communications of Allah: We recite them to you with truth; and most surely you are (one) of the apostles.

Allah repeats the similitudes in many ways to show the day of the cross in detail.
(HOSEA 12:10) ""I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:253] We have made some of these apostles to excel the others among them are they to whom Allah spoke, and some of them He exalted by (many degrees of) rank; and We gave clear miracles to Isa son of Marium, and strengthened him with the holy spirit. And if Allah had pleased, those after them would not have fought one with another after clear arguments had come to them, but they disagreed; so there were some of them who believed and others who denied; and if Allah had pleased they would not have fought one with another, but Allah brings about what He intends.

Allah works amoung those that appear to be enemies. Judas appears to be an enemy. Judas Iscariot is Michael. seen as a Prince in the Book of Daniel, as an Archangel in the book of Jude. But seen as doing the Will of Allah in Zechariah 11:13.
(ZECHARIAH 11:13) ""And the Lord said unto me,"" Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. ""And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord."" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 27:3) ""Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,"" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 27:4) Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. (KJV)
(MATTHEW 27:5) ""And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself."" (KJV)
Judas is still alive at least 40 days after the day of the cross, when they chose another to take his place that he might "go to his own place", something a dead man is not able to do. You can hang yourself by confessing, and you can spill your guts also in confessing.
(ACTS 1:25) That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, ""from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:254] O you who believe! spend out of what We have given you before the day comes in which there is no bargaining, neither any friendship nor intercession, and the unbelievers-- they are the unjust.

Allah's words are truth. All iniquity was palced on Jesus in Isaiah 53:6, His righteousness on mankind in Job 33:26. There is no bargaining to this, it is so. there is nothing that has to be done, it is finished. All were concluded in unbelief. all are saved by grace. there is no boasting, no works for salvation. No reward that another doesnot have also. Jesus comes as the rain, and Allah makes the rain to fall on the just and the unjust alike.
[al-Baqarah 2:255] Allah is He besides Whom there is no god, the Everliving, the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist; slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His; who is he that can intercede with Him but by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases, His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Great.

Jesus is "As God" the day of the cross as Zechariah 12:8 Shows, But that is unto man. For Jesus is a man in the hand of He who slayeth Him. And Allah offers him as a sacrifice. The Beginning is the day of the cross, and the Devil is a murderer from the beginning, as Allah offers His Son as a Sacrifice once and for all sins of the world, past, present, and future. The Devil is Allah's Holy Name.
Knowledge is the third picture for the day of the cross. 1=wisdom, 2=understanding, 3=knowledge.
Allah resting on the seventh day is not from tired, but as having prepared a place to dwell in. It is a place of rest, not a time of rest.
(ISAIAH 18:4) ""For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place"" like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. (KJV)
(ISAIAH 66:1) Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: ""where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?"" (KJV)
(2SAMUEL 7:13) He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. (KJV) (Jesus is the physical son of David born to Bathsheba in 1004 bc, died 7 days old, Reborn 4 bc at Bethlehem the first begotten of the dead as Revealtion 1:5 shows. The prophecy for the Rebirth is Isaiah 60:22 for Him being 1,000. and Isaiah 60:1/6 shows the rebirth. starting with the word "Arise" (from the dead.
[al-Baqarah 2:256] There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Alah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

Allah says to come and take freely of the tree of life, For freely is a requirement. Not out of want of gain, not out of fear of punishment, But from your heart, come and seek Allah. All rewards are given to all, there is nothing to gain, all punishment has been paid in full so there is nothing to fear. Now with no incentive to come to Allah, Will you come? freely out of your heart, and will you serve for nought? If your heart is right with Allah there is no question. for those that love Allah run to Him.
(REVELATION 21:6) And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. ""I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:257] Allah is the guardian of those who believe. He brings them out of the darkness into the light; and (as to) those who disbelieve, their guardians are Shaitans who take them out of the light into the darkness; they are the inmates of the fire, in it they shall abide.

Darkness is the day of the cross, Jesus is the light of the world, or the Words of Allah. As Allah gives us light, we can see in the darkenss as we are made as candles. Allah's word is like as a fire seen in Jeremiah 23:29. As Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were in the fire with the Lord, so also do we walk in the fire of Allah's Word. To be baptized with fire is to be immersed into Allah's Word or to be cast into the lake of fire. Once you are immersed into the Words of Allah "in it they shall abide."
(1KINGS 8:12) Then spake Solomon, ""The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness."" (KJV)
(AMOS 5:18) ""Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light."" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 10:27) ""What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light:"" and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. (KJV)
(DANIEL 3:24) Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, ""Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king."" (KJV)
(DANIEL 3:25) He answered and said, ""Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."" (KJV)
(ISAIAH 33:14) The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. ""Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?"" (KJV)
Now watch who dwells with everlasting burnings, for this fire is the Word of Allah.
(ISAIAH 33:15) ""He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;"" (KJV)
With Allah's Word like as a fire, and the people as waters, the boiling water is seeing the people the day of the cross.
[al-Baqarah 2:258] Have you not considered him (Namrud) who disputed with Ibrahim about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom? When Ibrahim said: My Lord is He who gives life and causes to die, he said: I give life and cause death. Ibrahim said: So surely Allah causes the sun to rise from the east, then make it rise from the west; thus he who disbelieved was confounded; and Allah does not guide aright the unjust people.

The Throne is likened to the Sun in Psalms 89:36, As the Throne is the day of the cross first seen as 4 6-hour periods. this is also seen as the 4 winds, so the Sun of throne can be seen as raising from any of the 4 directions, as they are similitudes. Allah makes the Sun to shine on the just and the unjust alike. Allah does not guide aright the unjust people for if Allah chose to guide them aright and Allah is able, then they would not be unjust, But Allah has hidden the aright path from them.
[al-Baqarah 2:259] Or the like of him (Uzair) who passed by a town, and it had fallen down upon its roofs; he said: When will Allah give it life after its death? So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him to life. He said: How long have you tarried? He said: I have tarried a day, or a part of a day. Said He: Nay! you have tarried a hundred years; then look at your food and drink-- years have not passed over it; and look at your ass; and that We may make you a sign to men, and look at the bones, how We set them together, then clothed them with flesh; so when it became clear to him, he said: I know that Allah has power over all things.

Jesus is the city Babylon, fallen when He takes the sins of the world. This is the first picture from sunset to midnight, so it is part of the day seen as 7 days, so it is a day, and it is part of a day. Jesus just took sin so He is as dead. the 7 times and the three pictures make up the 10 100-year periods for the day of the cross seen as the 1,000 year reign of Christ. seen here as days, it is also seen as an hour, a month and a year. the ass is the ass Jesus rides in on seen in Zechariah 9:9, This is not into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday as the prophecies are all for the day of the cross. this is Jesus coming in on the birth of mankind.
(ZECHARIAH 9:9) Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, ""thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass."" (KJV)
(GENESIS 49:11) ""Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine;"" he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: (KJV)
Binding Jesus to the birth of makind by taking sin out of the world, now we are alive to Allah whose eyes were too pure to look upon sin.
(JOB 11:12) For vain man would be wise, ""though man be born like a wild ass's colt."" (KJV)
The bones are the prophecies, they are broken as they are divided into the 7 time periods, then when all is fulfilled "not a bone of His shall be broken."
Jesus is spiritually dead when He takes sin, Allah raised Him the third day with all mankind in the body of Christ.
[al-Baqarah 2:260] And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! show me how Thou givest life to the dead, He said: What! and do you not believe? He said: Yes, but that my heart may be at ease. He said: Then take four of the birds, then train them to follow you, then place on every mountain a part of them, then call them, they will come to you flying; and know that Allah is Mighty, Wise.

This is Abraham's horror of Great Darkness. Abraham is Jesus the day of the Cross, this is the death on the cross, Seen differently in the Old Testament, but this similitude is also of Allah so it will fit what is being shown. take 4 birds or the day as 4 6-hour periods. the birds are time periods which contain the Words of Allah so they follow truth. The day of the cross is the Holy mountain seen as 7 time periods or also as 7 mountains, all the seven's in the book of Revelation. Calling them is to bring them to pass. as this is also the Creation Story which is a similitude for the day of the cross, the Words are spoken and they come to pass or come unto Allah as birds. the day as birds are seen in the Old Testament.
(JEREMIAH 8:7) Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord. (KJV)
The Turtle is a Turtle dove. This is the day seen as 4 6-hour time periods, as each day is also as a 1,000 years, time=4,000 years, creation story in 3975 bc, till the baptism of Jesus in 25 ad. Times is the day of the cross seen as 2,000 years. in Psalms 90:4 and Ecclesiastes 6:6, The dividing of time or half a time seen as the Cross in 29 ad till 2029 ad when Israel will see Jesus is the Christ, then the world will follow. 2029 is a future similitude, all prophecies are fulfilled the day of the cross, these by seeing the day as 7 1,000 year periods.
(PSALMS 90:4) ""For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night."" (KJV)
(ECCLESIASTES 6:6) Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place? (KJV)
(GALATIANS 4:4) But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, (KJV) (At the time of the Baptism of Jesus the time was fulfilled)
(REVELATION 12:14) And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, ""where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."" (KJV)
Israel could not see Jesus is the Serpent in the past, the day of the cross, or till 2029 ad, then she will, and after Israel most of the world will. seen also in Ezekiel's temple vision in Chapter 47:8, Israel is the sea. the day of the cross as the first two 1,000 cubit measurements, at the fourth or 2029 ad the waters flow into the sea and the sea is healed, as this is also for the day of the cross, the fourth is noon to sunset when Jesus dies on the cross, so it is seen as a river for swimming, Jesus is on the cross as one that swimmeth.
(EZEKIEL 47:5) Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, ""waters to swim in,"" a river that could not be passed over. (KJV)
(EZEKIEL 47:8) Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. (KJV) (at 4,000 cubit measurement, Day as the garden of Eden, let tears run down as a river, the river is divided into 4 heads.)
(ISAIAH 25:11) ""And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim:"" and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands. (KJV)
Jesus as swimming, the midst is the fourth time period, the people are as waters.
(PSALMS 69:1) ""Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:261] The parable of those who spend their property in the way of Allah is as the parable of a grain growing seven ears (with) a hundred grains in every ear; and Allah multiplies for whom He pleases; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing

the day seen as 7 time periods, every day as a hundred years. this is seen as three pictures, which also are as three physical days for a 1,000 year day.
[al-Baqarah 2:262] (As for) those who spend their property in the way.of Allah, then do not follow up what they have spent with reproach or injury, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve.

Allah gives prosperity. The Property is the truths Allah has given us. If we keep them to ourselves. then we follow the gift with reproach or injury as not having shared Allah's Words with others.
[al-Baqarah 2:263] Kind speech and forgiveness is better than charity followed by injury; and Allah is Self-sufficient, Forbearing.

This is for the second physical day. Jesus is in hell speaking peace to the heathen which will be raised on the third day.
(ZECHARIAH 9:10) And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: ""and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth."" (KJV)
This is for the day of the cross. the first picture seen as a river, divided into 4 heads. Then the second physical day Jesus is in hell speaking peace to the heathen which He has been given in Psalms 2:8. Psalms 2:6/7 show the Body of Chirst born the day of the cross, Mount Zion is at Jerusalem where Calvary is.
The next verse in Zechariah shows Jesus in hell being set free with all the others, Hell is the pit where n is no water.
(ZECHARIAH 9:11) ""As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water."" (KJV)
(ZECHARIAH 9:12) ""Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;"" (KJV)
They are prisoners as hell was a prison, where they slept till Jesus died for sin, then they must wait till the third day to be released. As this is seen the second physical day or the second picture, this is the day doubled, so Allah renders double unto them, or shows them during the second picture.
(GENESIS 41:32) ""And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass."" (KJV)
Allah establishes truth as shown three times. three similar similitudes.
[al-Baqarah 2:264] O you who believe! do not make your charity worthless by reproach and injury, like him who spends his property to be seen of men and does not believe in Allah and the last day; so his parable is as the parable of a smooth rock with earth upon it, then a heavy rain falls upon it, so it leaves it bare; they shall not be able to gain anything of what they have earned; and Allah does not guide the unbelieving people.

All is to be done out of the Love for Allah, not for gain or reward, As Jesus set the prisoners free, out of Love for Allah. Had Jesus freed the ones in hell for personal gain, it would be worthless, for it is not a freewill offering to Allah, it would be to gain favour.
(ISAIAH 45:13) I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, ""and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:265] And the parable of those who spend their property to seek the pleasure of Allah and for the certainty 'of their souls is as the parable of a garden on an elevated ground, upon which heavy rain falls so it brings forth its fruit twofold but if heavy rain does not fall upon it, then light rain (is sufficient); and Allah sees what you do.

The Creation Story is a similitude for the day of the cross. This is the Garden of Eden, Elevated in the belief that Man and Woman have been removed from the Garden and can not Return to a place of fellowship with Allah because of sin. Jesus comes as the Rain. Seen heavy as two of the pictures together. actually three light rains, or it rains light three times to establish the Word of Allah.
[al-Baqarah 2:266] Does one of you like that he should have a garden of palms and vines with streams flowing beneath it; he has in it all kinds of fruits; and old age has overtaken him and he has weak offspring, when, (lo!) a whirlwind with fire in it smites it so it becomes blasted; thus Allah makes the communications clear to you, that you may reflect.

The Creation Story is a similitude for the day of the cross, the River in Eden is divided into 4 heads or the first picture is the day of the Cross as 4 6-hour periods. the streams are beneath it or in the day which is the Foundation of the World. The first time period is seen, this is as 100 years old. This is seen as both the Birth or as an infant a hundred, and as a 100 year old man. The offsprings are the other time periods, the day is also seen as 7 generations. They are weak because they gain strenght as they are seen ad doubled twice to establish them as the Word of Allah. The First picture is as the 4 winds, seen again and again in similitudes is as a whirlwind. Allah's Word is seen like as a fire in Jeremiah 23:29, Blasted is one of the time periods for the day of the cross, This is as a furnace of fire with silver tried in it 7 times.
(ISAIAH 65:20) There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: ""for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed."" (KJV)
The Birth of the Body of Christ starts in the first time period from sunset to midnight, this is the right hand, Jesus sits at the right hand of Allah till He makes His enemies His footstool. The first time period is also the feet. The foot stool is a birthing stool. The similitude for the midwives that would not slay the male children are here, they are made houses or the next two pictures. Egypt is the fourth tie period or the ending of the first picture when Jesus dies on the cross. Midnight is when Jesus takes sin, spiritually dead.
(EXODUS 1:21) ""And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:267] O you who believe! spend (benevolently) of the good things that you earn and or what We have brought forth for you out of the earth, and do not aim at what is bad that you may spend (in alms) of it, while you would not take it yourselves unless you have its price lowered, and know that Allah is Self-sufficient, Praiseworthy.

As Allah speaks in similitudes, This is to preach the Words of Truth that Allah gives. Pour them out upon others. This is for Jesus as He said "No man cometh unto the Father but by Me." Or restricting asscess to Allah. Lowering the price is to have Allah's truths come easily or without any persecution for speaking the Words. As those that are given more, the more is required. Know that in being given the truths of Allah, He expects us to spread them.
(MARK 4:24) And he said unto them, ""Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given."" (KJV)
(MARK 4:25) ""For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath."" (KJV)
For if we speak not what Allah has given us, Why should Allah give more? And if we pour out that which Allah has given, He will refill the vessel and give an increase. If we speak what Allah gives, it is used quite often and retained and increased as Allah adds to each concept. If not used it is forgotten that Allah even gave it, or taken away.
[al-Baqarah 2:268] Shaitan threatens you with poverty and enjoins you to be niggardly, and Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself and abundance; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.

Allah works in many ways. We battle within many times when there is no battle without. Poverty comes in many forms. And what may seem as poverty are many times riches to Allah.
(REVELATION 2:9) ""I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich)"" and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. (KJV)
Satan is a name for the Word of Allah. This is one of Allah's riches. Every truth that can be added to the Foundation allows the structure to grow strong. A misconcept added can weaken the whole structure, so each piece has to be searched out carefully. Who pouring out the Words of Allah will not have Works, Tribulation and poverty? and yet we know they are Riches in the eyes of Allah.
When a person does Allah's will, they are not a Jew, a Moslem, or a Christian. They are Allah's Children. Allah does not have compartments to His believers. He sees them as His.
[al-Baqarah 2:269] He grants wisdom to whom He pleases, and whoever is granted wisdom, he indeed is given a great good and none but men of understanding mind.

Wisdom is seeing the day of the Cross as 7 time periods, which is the first picture for the day of the cross. "None" is a name for Jesus, It is also given for those that come unto Allah when called.
There is "None" that showeth, there is "None" that declareth, When I called "None" did answer. Understanding is the second picture for the day of the cross, seen as seeing the day as three pictures.
Knowledge is the third picture, seeing the day as one full 24 hour picture.
(PROVERBS 24:3) Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: (KJV)
(PROVERBS 24:4) And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. (KJV)
(ISAIAH 41:26) Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, ""there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words."" (KJV)
(REVELATION 2:17) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, ""and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:270] And whatever alms you give or (whatever) vow you vow, surely Allah knows it; and the unjust shall have no helpers.

Jesus the day of the cross when He takes the sin of the World is the unjust, Forsaken by all, He has no helpers as the disciples flee. The Alms Jesus is giving is Himself for a sacrifice.
[al-Baqarah 2:271] If you give alms openly, it is well, and if you hide it and give it to the poor, it is better for you; and this will do away with some of your evil deeds; and Allah is aware of what you do.

Jesus said when you give alms, to not let the left hand know what the right hand doeth. The Right hand is the first time period from sunset to midnight when Jesus gives Himself as a alms to the poor, for all are needy of the Forgiveness of Allah. The word of God is also seen as a great fish in Jonah, Jesus said a whale. Jesus is the piece of money in the fishes mouth which pays tribute for mankind. the poor tax.
(JOB 7:12) Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? (KJV) (Yes Jesus you are both.)
(MATTHEW 17:24) And when they were come to Capernaum, ""they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?"" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 17:25) He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, ""Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?"" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 17:26) ""Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free."" (KJV)
Jesus is the tribute for those that do not know Allah. He is seen in similitude as Jonah. When the weeds are wrapped around Jonah's head. that is the crown of thorns the day of the cross. The Thorns symbolic for the non-believers.
(MATTHEW 17:27) ""Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee."" (KJV)
Also, Judas had the money bag, Judas was spoken against in one verse as a thief. (law required two witnesses). If Judas did alms out of the bags as Jesus spoke, the right hand not knowing what the left hand does is for Judas to give alms in secret and not to tell the others. Personally I have no doubt the statement of Judas being a thief is error on the part of the accuser. For it is easy to accuse an enemy of many things, it helps to support our dislike for them. For would Allah like us to hate without cause, So we build up cause to cover ourselves.
The Devil and Satan is accused of almost every evil that happens, in abundance. Allah is far smarter then man. Allah says to love your enemy, Then uses names unknow to mankind, For if a person hate another, Does that not reflect on His creator? Can we wish a person dead without finding fault with Allah, even if we do not see it this way. For Allah said live, and life came to them.
[al-Baqarah 2:272] To make them walk in the right way is not incumbent on you, but Allah guides aright whom He pleases; and whatever good thing you spend, it is to your own good; and you do not spend but to seek Allah's pleasure; and whatever good things you spend shall be paid back to you in full, and you shall not be wronged.

Jesus was not required to convert the world, But to save it. And to explain the right ways. Here is where freewill comes in. Not for salvation for all are saved by grace, But being saved by grace, Will you then labour for Allah? Each person will receive all the riches of heaven, so nothing can be gained, except in spirit.
[al-Baqarah 2:273] (Alms are) for the poor who are confined in the way of Allah-- they cannot go about in the land; the ignorant man thinks them to be rich on account of (their) abstaining (from begging); you can recognise them by their mark; they do not beg from men importunately; and whatever good thing you spend, surely Allah knows it.

Allah's law creates transgressors by drawing lines of conduct. no law is no transgressors. As all have fallen short of the glory of Allah, we are all confined under the law as sinners. We cannot enter heaven with sin, it has to be removed from man for no man can justify Himself under the law. Jesus takes all sin and is as the rich man in hell. He does not beg, He accepted what Allah has laid upon Him. Jesus did not Cry "Father forgive Me" from the cross, But "Father forgive them". Mark the Perfect man is for Jesus.
[al-Baqarah 2:274] (As for) those who spend their property by night and by day, secretly and openly, they shall have their reward from their Lord and they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.

The Words of Allah are light or day, and the day is made as darkness or night, both are the same to Allah. As is secret or openly, Allah sees all.
(PSALMS 139:12) ""Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee."" (KJV) (All the day of the Cross.)
Spending their property is to speak that which has been given unto them.
[al-Baqarah 2:275] Those who swallow down usury cannot arise except as one whom Shaitan has prostrated by (his) touch does rise. That is because they say, trading is only like usury; and Allah has allowed trading and forbidden usury. To whomsoever then the admonition has come from his Lord, then he desists, he shall have what has already passed, and his affair is in the hands of Allah; and whoever returns (to it)-- these arc the inmates of the fire; they shall abide in it.

There is a parable Jesus spoke of three servants, to whom each was delivered a sum of money, Their lord then went on a journey and when He returned the servants gave an accout of what they had done with the money. Those that had increased the money by usery were commended. one hid His talent in the ground. and returned the money with no usury. He is reproved by the Lord of that Servant. What seems is not always what is. He is the Servant that did right.
(MATTHEW 25:24) Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: (KJV)
(MATTHEW 25:25) And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. (KJV)
(MATTHEW 25:26) ""His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant,"" thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: (KJV)
Jesus takes the sins of the world at Midnight the day of the cross, while on the Mount of Olives. So Jesus is the "wicked" and He is the "slothful" And Jesus knows that Allah gathers All.
(MATTHEW 25:27) Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. (KJV)
(MATTHEW 25:28) Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. (KJV)
Allah's Word has removed 10 disciples from Jesus, Now "Peace" is taken from the Earth, Or Judas is also taken from Jesus who is the Earth. "He make His officers peace." which is a name for Judas who is given a band of Men from the Chief Priest. "Righteousness and peach have kissed each other" Which is Judas and Jesus on the Mount of Olives. "He is lead forth with peace", Judas lead them into the Garden, Judas leads them out.
(REVELATION 6:4) And there went out another horse that was red: ""and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth,"" and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. (KJV)
The Red Horse is the second time period from Midnight to sunrise, this is also Outer Darkness, the Disciples are weeping as they flee, and the 144 with Judas are gnashing their teeth.
(MATTHEW 25:29) For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. (KJV)
As all must forsake Jesus, all is taken away from Him.
(MATTHEW 25:30) ""And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."" (KJV)
(MATTHEW 25:31) When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, ""then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:"" (KJV)
Jesus is the unprofitable servant, and He is the one which sits upon the Throne of His Glory. There is no profit as Jesus does it for nothing.
(ISAIAH 45:13) I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: ""he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward,"" saith the Lord of hosts. (KJV)
"His affairs are in the Hands of Allah" or as Isaiah 45:13 says "I will direct all His ways." "the inmates of the fire" are those in the Words of Allah.
(JEREMIAH 23:29) ""Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord;"" and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:276] Allah does not bless usury, and He causes charitable deeds to prosper, and Allah does not love any ungrateful sinner.

As all iniquity is placed on Jesus, He is the wicked one. Jesus knows that by taking sin upon Himself, This allows sin to be removed from the world, For Allah to dwell with mankind, and to establish Allah's Words as truth. All the prophecies are lies till they are fulfilled. This is how Allah has set it up. In order to be established by Allah it has to be doubled twice ad come to pass. Allah does not know an ungrateful sinner, Jesus has all sin, and His going through the day of the cross shows that He is not ungrateful.
[al-Baqarah 2:277] Surely they who believe and do good deeds and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate they shall have their reward from their Lord, and they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.

To do these things is to desire a relationship with Allah. As Allah desires such a relationship with man, He opens up the Words to those that search with their whole heart.
[al-Baqarah 2:278] O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) Allah and relinquish what remains (due) from usury, if you are believers.

Being careful is to see that it is not duty nor to do works out of duty. But out of freewill, Doing nothing out of desire for gain. This is to drop what we have done in error for rewards and offer it as just our ways of saying thanks. Kowning we already have all that we could desire in Allah.
[al-Baqarah 2:279] But if you do (it) not, then be apprised of war from Allah and His Apostle; and if you repent, then you shall have your capital; neither shall you make (the debtor) suffer loss, nor shall you be made to suffer loss.

Jesus has to "do it not" The War is the day of the Cross, Jesus is made as all things that offend. All are gathered together against Jesus. Jesus has to retain sin so He can not repent, He has to go on. Mankind is a debtor unto Allah, Jesus takes away that debt, or we lose our Debt or separation from Allah. Jesus also has to allow himself to suffer loss of His own life on the Cross.
[al-Baqarah 2:280] And if (the debtor) is in straitness, then let there be postponement until (he is in) ease; and that you remit (it) as alms is better for you, if you knew.

Jesus is in straitness the day of the cross, He is in ease when He dies and is in hell with Those that He will take out the third day.
[al-Baqarah 2:281] And guard yourselves against a day in which you shall be returned to Allah; then every soul shall be paid back in full what it has earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.

All return unto Allah the third day. As the Righteousness of Christ is rendered unto man, What Jesus earned is what all mankind is credited with.
[al-Baqarah 2:282] O you who believe! when you deal with each other in contracting a debt for a fixed time, then write it down; and let a scribe write it down between you with fairness; and the scribe should not refuse to write as Allah has taught him, so he should write; and let him who owes the debt dictate, and he should be careful of (his duty to) Allah, his Lord, and not diminish anything from it; but if he who owes the debt is unsound in understanding, or weak, or (if) he is not able to dictate himself, let his guardian dictate with fairness; and call in to witness from among your men two witnesses; but if there are not two men, then one man and two women from among those whom you choose to be witnesses, so that if one of the two errs, the second of the two may remind the other; and the witnesses should not refuse when they are summoned; and be not averse to writing it (whether it is) small or large, with the time of its falling due; this is more equitable in the sight of Allah and assures greater accuracy in testimony, and the nearest (way) that you may not entertain doubts (afterwards), except when it is ready merchandise which you give and take among yourselves from hand to hand, then there is no blame on you in not writing it down; and have witnesses when you barter with one another, and let no harm be done to the scribe or to the witness; and if you do (it) then surely it will be a transgression in you, and be careful of (your duty) to Allah, Allah teaches you, and Allah knows all things.

This is the Day of the Cross seen as two or three witnesses. seen often with two of the pictures as women. As the similitudes are all a bit different, the second can remind the first what is being shown.
(MATTHEW 10:35) For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. (KJV)
Here are three witness to a house divided, each a little different then the other. all bearing witness to the same similitude.
The day of the Cross is the house, and the house id divided and shown as three pictures.
[al-Baqarah 2:283] And if you are upon a journey and you do not find a scribe, then (there may be) a security taken into possession; but if one of you trusts another, then he who is trusted should deliver his trust, and let him be careful (of his duty to) Allah, his Lord; and do not conceal testimony, and whoever conceals it, his heart is surely sinful; and Allah knows what you do.

Jesus taking a journey into a far country is seen as Jesus going into hell. The Trust is seeing Jesus is Lucifer in Hell in Isaiah 14:12. If I speak not of Lucifer being Jesus in Hell, of the Devil being Allah's Holy Name, Of Satan being a name for the Word of Allah, then I conceal. And as I should speak it even more then I do, I do conceal some, feeling it will chase away believers more then draw them to the Love Allah shows.
[al-Baqarah 2:284] Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah's; and whether you manifest what is in your minds or hide it, Allah will call you to account according to it; then He will forgive whom He pleases and chastise whom He pleases, and Allah has power over all things.

As Scripture says, Whom Allah Loves, He chastises. There is no problem with Chastiment from Allah. We are a Family, And Chastiment is part of abiding together. For Chastiment is a lesson which we should learn from.
(PROVERBS 3:11) ""My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:"" (KJV)
(PROVERBS 3:12) ""For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth."" (KJV)
[al-Baqarah 2:285] The apostle believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers; they all believe in Allah and His angels and His books and His apostles; We make no difference between any of His apostles; and they say: We hear and obey, our Lord! Thy forgiveness (do we crave), and to Thee is the eventual course.

What has been revealed is all a person cn really speak. Often times Allah reveals a part of a concept. But who can believe what they see in part. All are forgiven at Calvary, Seeing this is what we should crave. Seeing His forgiveness, Seeing His Mercy, Seeing Allah as He is. A Loving, Caring Lord.
[al-Baqarah 2:286] Allah does not impose upon any soul a duty but to the extent of its ability; for it is (the benefit of) what it has earned and upon it (the evil of) what it has wrought: Our Lord! do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake; Our Lord! do not lay on us a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us, Our Lord do not impose upon us that which we have not the strength to bear; and pardon us and grant us protection and have mercy on us, Thou art our Patron, so help us against the unbelieving people.

It would seem that the ability Allah uses in mankind is the least we would do. Instead of the most we are capable of. Allah aids us daily as we reach for others to bring them into the Loveing relationship with Him.
