The Lion is mentioned in the Bible 119 times, 110 times in the Old Testament and nine times in the New Testament.

The Lion itself is not mentioned in the Noble Quran; however, wild beasts (wild animals) is mentioned once.

In the Bible, Revelation 4:5-8 say that God has seven spirits; around God’s throne there were four living creatures covered with eyes. The Lion which has six wings and is covered with eyes all around and the animals are Glorifying God.

The Noble Quran says that Allah has One Spirit and the Angels are around the Throne and are glorifying Allah with praise. 

==============================================

 

Revelation 4:5-8 in four different versions of the Bible:

 

New International Version

 

5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.

6 Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.

7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.

8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”

 

New American Standard Bible

5 Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;

6 and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.

7 The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.

8 And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME.”

 

English Standard Version

 

5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God,

6 and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:

7 the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight.

8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

 

King James Version

 

5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

7And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

==============================================

 

The Angels (not the Animals) are around the Throne and are glorifying Allah with praise.

 

Verse 39:75 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

 

 

QARIB:

And you shall see the angels encircling the throne exalting with the praise of their Lord. and the matter will be justly decided between them, and it shall be said: ‘praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds! ‘

SHAKIR:

And you shall see the angels going round about the throne glorifying the praise of their Lord; and judgment shall be given between them with justice, and it shall be said: all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds

PICKTHAL:

And thou (O Muhammad) seest the angels thronging round the throne, hymning the praises of their Lord. and they are judged aright. and it is said: praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!

YUSUFALI:

And thou wilt see the angels surrounding the throne (divine) on all sides, singing glory and praise to their Lord. the decision between them (at judgment) will be in (perfect) justice, and the cry (on all sides) will be, “praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!”

 

The meaning of the verse:

 

And you will see the angels all round the Throne, from its every side, glorifying with praise of their Lord, continuously proclaiming His praise.

In other words, they are saying ‘Glory, and praise, be to Allah!’

And judgment will be made between them, that is, between all creatures, with truth and with justice, so that the believers enter Paradise while the disbelievers enter the Fire, and it will be said, ‘Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!’

The final establishing of both groups in their respective abodes is concluded with this angelic praise.

Not in the Bible: Allah commanded the Angels to honor Adam

 

Verse 15:29 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

 

QARIB: when I have shaped him and ran my created soul in him fall down prostrating towards him’.

SHAKIR: so when I have made him complete and breathed into him of my spirit, fall down making obeisance to him

PICKTHAL: so, when I have made him and have breathed into him of my spirit, do ye fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him.

YUSUFALI: “when I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of my spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him.”

 

The meaning of the verse:

 

So, when I have proportioned him (Adam), completed him, and breathed, caused to flow, of My Spirit in him, so that he becomes a living thing; the annexation of ‘the Spirit’ to him is a conferring of honor upon Adam, fall down in prostration before him!’, a prostration [meant as an act] of salutation by bowing.

Herein Allah commanded the Angels to honor Adam; this incident is not found in the Bible.

———————————

 

Jacob knew that Allah has only one Spirit

 

Verse 12:87 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

 

QARIB: go and seek news of Joseph and his brother. Do not despair of the comfort of Allah, none but unbelievers despair of the comfort of Allah. ‘

SHAKIR: o my sons! go and inquire respecting yusuf and his brother, and despair not of Allah’s mercy; surely none despairs of Allah’s mercy except the unbelieving people

PICKTHAL: go, o my sons, and ascertain concerning Joseph and his brother, and despair not of the spirit of Allah. lo! None despaireth of the spirit of Allah save disbelieving folk.

YUSUFALI: “o my sons! go ye and enquire about Joseph and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah’s soothing mercy: truly no one despairs of Allah’s soothing mercy, except those who have no faith.”

 

The meaning of the verse:

 

For this reason, Jacob said: (Go, O my sons, and ascertain concerning Joseph and his brother) go and enquire about Joseph and his brother Benjamin (and despair not of the Spirit of Allah) despair not of the mercy of Allah. (Lo! None despaired of the Spirit of Allah) of the mercy of Allah (save disbelieving folk) save the people who disbelieve in Allah and His mercy.

In other words, Jacob said: O my sons, go and enquire about Joseph and his brother, seek news of them, and do not despair of God’s [gracious] Spirit, His mercy. Indeed none despairs of the [gracious] Spirit of God save the disbelieving folk’: and so they departed to Egypt [to look] for Joseph.

Hence, Jacob knew that Allah has only one Spirit.

Verses from 6-10 are talking about 1) Allah Commands: if a Man Comes to you with Some News, Verify It, 2) Allah Commands: Do not Speak falsehood, Otherwise you would Surely be in Twofold Trouble, 3) Allah’s Law If two Parties of Believers Fall to Fighting and 4) Allah Commands: Make Peace Between them when they Fall into Dispute with one another.

—————  

The meanings of the verses 49:6-10

Verse six says:

The following was revealed regarding a hypocrite whom the Prophet had sent to a folk of believers in order to collect their alms; He already feared them on account of an old feud between him and them before Islam, and so upon seeing them come out to him he returned and claimed that they had refused to give the voluntary alms and intended to kill him. And just as the Prophet was making plans to raid them, they came to him to disavow what the hypocrite man had said about them:

O you who believe, if a reprobate should come to you with some tiding, some piece of information, verify it, ascertain his truthfulness from his mendacity lest you injure a folk, that is to say, for fear of this happening, out of ignorance, that is to say while you are ignorant; and then become remorseful of what you have perpetrated, erroneously against that folk.

After they (the folk) had returned to their homelands, the Prophet sent a good man to them, who observed only obedience and goodness in them and later informed the Prophet of this.

In other words, the verse says:

O you who believe in Allah, Muhammad and the Quran, if a hypocrite, bring you tidings, brings you some news (verify it) check whether the news are true or false, lest you injure some folk in ignorance and afterward you ask forgiveness of what you did and you will feel sorry because you hurt them.

Verse seven says

And know that the Messenger of Allah is among you, so do not speak falsehood, for Allah will inform him of the real state of affairs. If the Messenger  obeys you in many matters, which you communicate contrary to reality, so that the necessary evil consequences ensue, you would surely be in trouble, you would earn in addition to that sin, the sin for the consequences that ensue from your error. But Allah has endeared faith to you, adorning your hearts with it, and He has made odious to you disbelief and immorality and  disobedience.  those who have such traits are they who are rightly guided; they are the right-minded, the ones firmly established upon the way of their religion;

Verse eight says:

It is a bounty and a grace from Allah; that He honored the believers; and Allah is Knower of honoring the believers; Wise in placing in their hearts love of faith and hatred of disbelief, lewdness and rebellion.

Verse nine says:

If two parties of believers fall to fighting make peace between them. And if one of them aggresses against the other, fight the one which aggresses until it returns to the truth, to Allah’s ordinance. Then, if it returns, reconcile them, fairly, and act justly. Surely God loves the just.

Verse ten says:

The believers are indeed brothers, in religion. Therefore always make peace between your brethren by means of the Book of Allah (and observe your duty to Allah), when they fall into dispute with one another

and fear Allah regarding that which He commands you regarding making peace (that haply ye may obtain mercy) and not be punished.

The Verses 1-5 in different English translations:

49:6

QARIB: believers, if an evildoer brings you a piece of news, inquire first, in case you should unwittingly wrong others and then repent of what you have done.

SHAKIR: o you who believe! if an evil-doer comes to you with a report, look carefully into it, lest you harm a people in ignorance, then be sorry for what you have done

PICKTHAL: o ye who believe! if an evil-liver bring you tidings, verify it, lest ye smite some folk in ignorance and afterward repent of what ye did.

YUSUFALI: o ye who believe! if a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly, and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done.

49:7

SHAKIR: and know that among you is Allah’s messenger; should he obey you in many a matter, you would surely fall into distress, but Allah has endeared the faith to you and has made it seemly in your hearts, and he has made hateful to you unbelief and transgression and disobedience; these it is that are the followers of a right way

PICKTHAL: and know that the messenger of Allah is among you. if he were to obey you in much of the government, ye would surely be in trouble; but Allah hath endeared the faith to you and hath beautified it in your hearts, and hath made disbelief and lewdness and rebellion hateful unto you. such are they who are the rightly guided.

YUSUFALI: and know that among you is Allah’s messenger: were he, in many matters, to follow your (wishes), ye would certainly fall into misfortune: but Allah has endeared the faith to you, and has made it beautiful in your hearts, and he has made hateful to you unbelief, wickedness, and rebellion: such indeed are those who walk in righteousness;-

49:8

QARIB: by the favor and blessing of Allah. Allah is the knower and the wise.

SHAKIR: by grace from Allah and as a favor; and Allah is knowing, wise

Forever means time without end, everlasting time; eternally, all times, incessantly, limitless time, without ever ending.

“He wants to live Forever but No one can live Forever”.

Forever is mentioned 290 times in the Bible and 14 times in the Quran.

How does the Bible use “Forever”:

The Forever Land:

The Lord Promised the Israelites to give them the “Land” Forever, while the history and the today news notify that this promise never happened. Moreover, the Bible says that “the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it Forever” and we all know that both the righteous and the “wicked” inherit the land and dwell in it.

Genesis 13:15

All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring Forever.

Exodus 32:13

Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self: ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance Forever.’ “

Desolate Forever, no man will dwell in it

The Lord says that Hazor and other Biblical places will desolate and no man will dwell in such places Forever, however, these places are still full of life.

Deuteronomy 13:16

Gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. It is to remain a ruin Forever, never to be rebuilt.

“Hazor will become a haunt of jackals, a desolate place Forever. No one will live there; no man will dwell in it.”

Jeremiah 51:26

No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone, nor any stone for a foundation, for you will be desolate Forever,” declares the LORD.

The throne Forever

The peace Forever

The Lord promised that the throne of David and his descendants will remain secure before the Lord Forever and they will live in peace Forever. The History from David’s time up till now signifies that this Lord’s promise never achieved.

2 Samuel 7:13

He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom Forever.

2 Samuel 7:16

Your house and your kingdom will endure Forever before me ; your throne will be established Forever.’ “

I will not accuse Forever, nor will I always be angry, for then the spirit of man would grow faint before me— the breath of man that I have created.

Live Forever

Live Forever is used six times in the Bible.

Of course there is nothing on the Earth that would or could Live Forever

1 Kings 1:31

Then Bathsheba bowed low with her face to the ground and, kneeling before the king, said, “May my Lord King David live Forever!”

that he should live on Forever and not see decay.

Daniel 6:6

So the administrators and the satraps went as a group to the king and said: “O King Darius, live Forever!

Daniel 6:21

Daniel answered, “O king, live Forever!

For this reason, one has to be cautious when interpreting the following two verses about the bread and blood of Jesus

The meaning of these two verses are only found in John and never mentioned in the other three Gospels.

John 6:51

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live Forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

John 6:58

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live Forever.”

Priest Forever

Melchizedek is an unknown and an extremely vague person.

He is described as:” Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest Forever”. Jesus ranks in the order of Melchizedek.

However, it seems likely that Melchizedek is superior to Jesus because he has no mother while Jesus has a mother.

Psalm 110:4

The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest Forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

Hebrews 5:6

And he says in another place, “You are a priest Forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

Hebrews 6:20

Where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest Forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 7:3

Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest Forever.

Hebrews 7:17

For it is declared: “You are a priest Forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

Hebrews 7:21

but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest Forever.’ “

Hebrews 7:24

but because Jesus lives Forever, he has a permanent priesthood.

Destroyed Forever

I wonder why the Bible deals with Esau like that.

It is Jacob who was unfair to his brother Esau and cheated him.

Obadiah 1:10

Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed Forever.

Love Forever

The Love Forever means killing of mighty kings

Psalm 136:18

And killed mighty kings— His love endures Forever.

Sleep Forever

But while they are aroused, I will set out a feast for them and make them drunk, so that they shout with laughter— then sleep Forever and not awake,” declares the LORD.

Jeremiah 51:57

I will make her officials and wise men drunk, her governors, officers and warriors as well; they will sleep Forever and not awake,” declares the King, whose name is the LORD Almighty.

Womb enlarged Forever

Wandering stars Forever

Scientifically speaking there are no Wandering stars neither ever nor Forever!

Jude 1:13

They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved Forever.

How does the Quran use “Forever”:

Scientifically speaking, there is nothing Forever on the Earth. Everything and anything should have an end.

The Quran never uses “Forever” for anything on the Earth.

The Quran uses “Forever” for the Afterlife.

The Believers: Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them Forever

The Unbelievers: hell, to abide in it Forever

Surah 4:168-169

168- Surely (as for) those who disbelieve and act unjustly Allah will not forgive them nor guide them to a path;

169- Except the path of hell, to abide in it Forever, and this is easy to Allah

64- Surely Allah has cursed the unbelievers and has prepared for them a burning fire,

65- To abide therein Forever; they shall not find a protector or a helper

Surah 72:22-23

22- say: surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can i find besides him any place of refuge:

23- (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and his messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and his messenger surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein Forever.

The following verses summarize the fate of Human beings in the Afterlife.

Surah 98:6-8

6- Surely those who disbelieve from among the followers of the book and the polytheists shall be in the fire of hell, abiding therein Forever; they are the worst of men

7- (as for) those who believe and do good, surely they are the -best of men

Live Forever

Live Forever is used six times in the Bible.

Of course there is nothing on the Earth that would or could Live Forever

1 Kings 1:31

Then Bathsheba bowed low with her face to the ground and, kneeling before the king, said, “May my Lord King David live Forever!”

that he should live on Forever and not see decay.

So the administrators and the satraps went as a group to the king and said: “O King Darius, live Forever!

Daniel 6:21

For this reason, one has to be cautious when interpreting the following two verses about the bread and blood of Jesus

The meaning of these two verses are only found in John and never mentioned in the other three Gospels.

John 6:51

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live Forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

John 6:58

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live Forever.”

Priest Forever

Melchizedek is an unknown and an extremely vague person.

He is described as:” Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest Forever”. Jesus ranks in the order of Melchizedek.

However, it seems likely that Melchizedek is superior to Jesus because he has no mother while Jesus has a mother.

Psalm 110:4

The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest Forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

Hebrews 5:6

And he says in another place, “You are a priest Forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

Hebrews 6:20

Where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest Forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 7:3

Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest Forever.

Hebrews 7:17

For it is declared: “You are a priest Forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

Hebrews 7:21

but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest Forever.’ “

Hebrews 7:24

but because Jesus lives Forever, he has a permanent priesthood.

Destroyed Forever

I wonder why the Bible deals with Esau like that.

It is Jacob who was unfair to his brother Esau and cheated him.

Obadiah 1:10

Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed Forever.

Love Forever

The Love Forever means killing of mighty kings

And killed mighty kings— His love endures Forever.

Wandering stars Forever

Scientifically speaking there are no Wandering stars neither ever nor Forever!

They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved Forever.

How does the Quran use “Forever”:

Scientifically speaking, there is nothing Forever on the Earth. Everything and anything should have an end.

The Quran never uses “Forever” for anything on the Earth.

The Quran uses “Forever” for the Afterlife.
