isa 9

Maryam was told...

as she gave birth to this child, that He was the Messiah...

that He was the Messiah that everyone was waiting for.

That Allah gives her the glad tidings about Isa a.s.:

His name is the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary.


Léon Cogniet, Massacre of the Innocent


So Maryam is basically told that this child of yours...

is that child that poses a threat to the empire.

That people are waiting for...

but also poses a major threat.


And Allah mentioned Ruh Minho, meaning 'a soul from Allah'.

That doesn't mean that He is a part of God physically.

Instead, when Allah ascribes something to himself...

He glorifies it, assignsa particular virtue to it.


The Word of God... 

the implication of that in Islam is... 

that He was created from the Word 'Be!'




Now, why is Isa a.s. threatening?

Herod having the dream that a young man from Bethlehem was going to overthrow him...

is similar to Firaun having the dream about Musa going to overthrow him...

and him deciding that, then, he might as well kill all the children.

And so that's where you have the massacre of the innocent.

And where you have the fleeing of Maryam a.s. with Isa to Egypt for some time.

And the eventually she comes back from Egypt, and she goes to Nazareth.
