Miracle of Moving of the Mokattam Mountain

1) The Incidents that Pave the Way for the Miracle.

2) The Distress is Dispersed.
3) The Supernatural Miracle.
4) The Results of the Miracle.
5) Recording the Miracle.
6) A Research on the Determination of the Date of the Miracle.

1) The Incidents that Pave the Way for the Miracle.

a) Heated religious discussion:

As we said earlier, Al-Mu'iz Li Din-Illah the Fatimid was fond of literary gatherings and much interested in religious controversies. He used to rally the religious leaders of the Muslims, the Christians and the Jews and let them debate in his presence, and stipulated that this should be carried out with neither anger nor contention.

There was a Jew in the retinue of Al-Mu'iz who espoused Islam in order to be assigned a minister. This man's name was Jacob Ibn Killis.

In spite of the fact that he espoused Islam, he still sided with Judaism, because he did not adopt Islam out of belief in it, but for the sake of the governmental office. Now this Jew hated Christians very much, especially because he had a Christian rival who was dear to the caliph. This Jew feared that the caliph would appoint the christian as minister instead of him. This man's name was Quzman Ibn Mina, and had the title "Abul Yumn" (The fortunate one).

So, Jacob Ibn Killis the Jew called to him another Jew named Moses and wanted him to debate with the Patriarch Abram in the court of the caliph Al-Mu'iz.

The caliph sent a message to the Patriarch, saying, "If you want to debate the Jews someday, whether yourself or through one of the bishops you choose, come to my house and join issue with them in my presence."

So Pope Abram set a date for the debate, and took along with him Anba Sawirus Ibn Al-Muqaffaa the bishop of Ashmunin (in Upper Egypt), who was one of the church scholars in his generation. It was he who wrote "THE BIOGRAPHY OF THE PATRIARCHS," and besides this he was well versed in theology, especially in comparative religion, and authored numerous volumes in this field. Of these books are: A BOOK ON MONOTHEISM, and THE BOOK OF THE WONDROUS PRESENTATION IN ANSWER TO THE JEWS, among other books.

When the caliph was seated, together with the Jewish minister Ibn Killis and his friend Moses, he said to the Pope,

"Speak my reverent Pope, or otherwise grant your companions the permission to talk."

So the Pope said to Sawirus the bishop of Ashmunin,

"Speak my son, and the divine wisdom grant you wisdom."

Anba Sawirus said in spiritual prudence,

"It is not proper to address a Jew in the presence of the caliph."

Moses, the minister's companion, was enraged and said,

"You are insulting me in the hearing of the prince of the believers [the title of the caliph among Muslims], since you describe me as ignorant."

Anba Sawirus asked him calmly,

"What if I furnish the proof for your ignorance, will you not be angry?"

The caliph interfered out of tolerance, and eloquently,

"There is no need to be angry in the discussion; freedom is vouchsafed for each of you so that you may express each his own opinion frankly and without embarrassment."

Anba Sawirus said confidently,

"Well, it is not I that call you ignorant; it is rather a great prophet of yours, who had a special favor from God, who witnesses against you."

Moses the Jew asked him,

"And who can this prophet be?"

Anba Sawirus answered immediately,

"It is Isaiah the prophet, who said about you, `The ox knows his master, the donkey, his owner's manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.'" (Is 1:3)

The caliph burst out laughing , for he was impressed by Anba Sawirus' prudence and skill of speech. Then the caliph asked Moses the Jew,

"Are these really the words of Isaiah?"

Moses said, with pent-up anger,

"Yes, sire."

And Anba Sawirus continued talking,

"Behold a great prophet of yours has announced that the animals have more understanding that you do."

The caliph was still under the intoxicating effect of the brilliance of this joke, and decided to end the session, having heard enough for the day.

b) The malicious plot:

This sharp debate upset the minister Ibn Killis and his other Jewish companion Moses so much that they decided to take revenge on Anba Abram and Anba Sawirus by devising a plot that would destroy the Copts altogether. For this reason, the Jew started to search the New Testament looking for something to help him in his malicious purpose. He chanced upon the verse that the Lord Jesus has said in Mt 17:20, which says: "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Moses the Jew and the minister Ibn Killis hastened to the caliph Al-Mu'iz and said to him,

"We have found it written in the book of the Christians that whosoever has faith as small as a mustard seed can move a mountain. So it is our right to demand them to prove that their religion is right by means of this. If they cannot, they should be punished for the invalidity of their religion."

The caliph kept silent and was mulling over this verse, thinking to himself that if the words of the New Testament were true, then this would be a golden opportunity to remove the mountain that was perched to the east of the new city (Cairo) so that it could stretch further east and would enjoy a terrific site, since the mountain was bordering Birket Elphil before it got removed. (24) But if they proved unable to carry this out, this would be a cogent proof that the religion of the Christians was wrong, so should be done away with completely.

The caliph Al-Mu'iz sent for Anba Abram the Syrian, who came to him and talked with him concerning this verse. He told him that he had to choose between these four alternatives: (25)

1) To fulfill this commandment and move the eastern part of the Mokattam.

2) To espouse Islam and abandon Christianity on the account that it is invalid.

3) To leave Egypt and immigrate to another country.

4) To be smitten by the sword altogether. (26)

The Patriarch kept silent, and was praying in his heart for the Lord to guide him in this ordeal.. Then he asked the caliph to give a three day respite, after which he would give him an answer.

c) Calling for a fast:

The Pope was very unhappy when he returned to his seat, and issued a public statement ordering all the Christians in Egypt to fast for three days from down, till sunset, and to lift up fervent prayers for the safety of the church, that God might deliver it from the impending ordeal. What a spiritual insight and heavenly wisdom is that which turns to God in such hard circumstances and distresses! How wonderful is the prayer of the church which it lifts up during the Mass, saying, "For we do not know another but You...Your holy name is the name we utter and our souls are revived by Your Holy Spirit."

Thereafter, the Pope went to the famous church of Saint Mary, which is know as "The Suspended Church," and called for the bishops who were present in Old Cairo, together with the archdeacons and the monks to tell them what had happened between the caliph and himself. He said to them,

"We are to fast and pray these three days which I have asked of the caliph as respite, so that the Lord may show mercy upon us in His grace, and provide us a way of deliverance."

All the people responded to the calling of the Pope, and the Coptic people fasted throughout the land of Egypt. Masses were held and prayers and supplications for this ordeal through which the church was going.

Pope Anba Abram, together with some bishops, priests, monks and archdeacons confined themselves to the Suspended Church of Saint Mary during those three days.

2) The Distress is Dispersed.

a) The Virgin Mary appears to the Pope:

The third day at dawn, the Pope dozes off for a short while, saw the Virgin Mary, and heard her say to him,

"What is the matter with you?"

The Pope answered,

"You know, lady of the heavenly and earthly beings."

She said to him,

"Fear not, faithful shepherd, ... for your tears which you have shed in this church, and the fasts and the prayers which you and your people have offered up shall not be forgotten. Now, get out through the iron gate that leads to the market-place and, when you are on your way out, you will find a one-eyed man in front of you carrying a jar of water. Take hold of him; for he is the man by whom the miracle will take place."

As soon as the Virgin Mary said this, she was hidden from the sight of the Pope, who woke up from his sleep wondering.

b) Saint Samaan, the messenger of heaven

When the Pope went out to the iron gate that leads to the market-place, and saw outside it the man whom the Virgin Mary had spoken, he took hold of him... brought him inside the iron gate, and closed it... The Pope told him what had happened between the caliph and himself, and what the Virgin Mary had ordered him to do, mentioning that it was he by whom the miracle would take place.

Saint Samaan said to him,

"Forgive me, my father, for I am but a sinful man."

The Pope said to him in persistence,

"It is the command of the mother of Light."

Saint Samaan answered in humility and submission,

"As long as it is the Mother of Light who decided that I should be entrusted with this great task, I, then, place myself at the you service, sir."

The Pope asked him about his name, and why he was there in the market-place at such an early hour in the morning while people are asleep.

Saint Samaan answered, "My name is Samaan the Tanner. I work in tanning animal skins. But I wake up as early as this hour in the morning every day to fill my jar with water and distribute it to the elderly and the sick, who have been hampered from bringing water for themselves by old age or sickness.

When I am finished with this service of mine, I return my water skin to the house and go to my work at the tannery where I work till evening. And at sunset I go out with the rest of the wage workers and eat just a little, so as to keep myself barely alive. Then I turn to prayer..."

Saint Samaan urged the Pope to keep the true state of his affairs hidden as long as he lived on this earth.

c) The preparations for the miracle

After Saint Samaan had finished this, he said to the Patriarch,

"My honorable father, go up the mountain and take along with you the religious leaders, the deacons, and the archdeacons, and make them carry on high the Bibles, the crosses, and the long candles, these being lit, and the censers full of incense."

"And ask the king and his retinue to go up with you... So you shall stand on one side of the mountain, while they stand on the side opposite you. As for me, I will stand among the people behind your felicity, so that no one would recognize me.

"Then after administering the holy sacraments, you raise up your voice with all of the people, repeating, "Kyrie Eleison" (have mercy, Lord) four hundred times.

"Then after that keep silent for some moments…. and worship you and the priests, before the Most High. Repeat this three times, and every time you stand up after worshipping, draw the sign of the cross over the mountain, and you shall see the glory of God."

The Patriarch lifted up a prayer of thanksgiving to God, who allowed the trial to come, but provided a way out . (1 Co 10:13)

3) The Supernatural Miracle

a) A great crowd of people

The Patriarch told the caliph Al-Mu'iz Li Din Illah that he was ready to carry out his request by the grace of God... the caliph went out on the back of his steed, having with him several men of his retinue, his great men of honor, and his soldiers. He met the Patriarch and a great number of bishops, priests, deacons, archdeacons, the common people, and among these was Saint Samaan the Tanner... The two parties stood opposite one another on the mountain as Saint Samaan told them.

b) A great quake and the moving of the mountain

After administering the holy sacraments which the Pope and the bishops lifted up, the people repeated with a broken spirit and a crushed heart the "Kyrie Eleison" (have mercy, Lord) prayer, four hundred times; 100 to the east, another to the west, another to the north, and another to the south.

Then they kept silent for a moment between the hands of the Most High... And they started to worship and stand up three times, while the Patriarch drew the sign of the cross. And behold a great earthquake swept over the mountain, and at each worship the mountain was thrust down, and every time they stood up the mountain would rise up and the sun would be seen from under it. And every time it would go back to its place.(27)

This was the power of faith which our teacher Paul declared when he said, "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." (Phil 4:13)

3) The caliph and the crowds become frightened

When the miracle took place, the caliph Al-Mu'iz panicked and feared, together with all the multitudes that gathered with him; he cried out at the top of his voice,

"God is great; may His name be blessed."

And he entreated the Pope to stop what he was doing, otherwise the city would be overthrown.

When the things calmed down once more, he said to the Pope,

"You have proven that your faith is a true one. "

4) The Results of the Miracle.

This mighty miracle had many important results, of which we list the following:

a) Renewing and restoring the churches

After the miracle had been performed, the caliph Al-Mu'iz Li Din Illah took the Pope aside and spoke to him privately, saying,

"Now, ask whatever you want and we will do it for you."

The Pope answered wisely,

"The only thing I ask is that the Lord may lengthen your span of life, and give you victory over your enemies."

The caliph, however, insisted that the pope should ask something, so the Patriarch said, "Since you press me to reveal my desire to you, allow me to say that I desire that the church of Saint Markorios Abu Sifein (Babylon, Old Cairo) be rebuilt; for some mob and riffraff had it torn down, and used what was left of it as a storehouse for sugar-cane. Also I would like the walls of the Suspended Church to be restored, for they are now cracked."

As soon as the caliph heard these requests, he ordered a clerk in his office to draw up a decree immediately that would grant the Patriarch the right to do whatever he asked of the caliph.

He commanded that all the expenses be provided for from the state treasury... The Pope took the decree that entitled him to build and restore the church, but apologized for not taking the money, and said to the caliph,

"The One for whom we are building the church is able to help us complete it; he is in no need of the money of the world."

The church was rebuilt.

It is an example of the life of contentedness and satisfaction with one's portion that Anba Abram did not ask the caliph for any personal need or possessions.

The renewal of the church of Markorios Abu Sifein was a herald of a new age of building and renewal. A great number of churches were restored, especially in Alexandria.

2) The peace of the Church

The miracle of moving the Mokattam Mountain had a profound effect on all people, and the fear of the Lord fell upon all the people in the country, big and small, for history records this, saying:

Peace replaced upheaval and war. And Anba Abram's heart was full of assurance toward his faithful people.. (30)

One of the reasons why peace prevailed in the church was due to what was said about the caliph himself... (31)

This reminds us of what happened with the Emperor of the Roman empire Constantine the Great, who, after seeing the sign of the cross in his sleep, and realizing victory in his battles, believed in Christ.

There is nothing too difficult for the Lord, for the grace of God can enter into the courts of kings and emperors; taking captivity captives and giving gift unto men. Our teacher the apostle Paul wrote, "All the Saints send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar's household." (Phil 4"22)

5) Recording the Miracle.

Providence willed it that this miracle should be eternalized down the ages and remain intact in the intellect of the people, untainted by the years and undiminished by the forgetfulness of man. It remains a witness to God's glory and surpassing power that can shake and move mountains. This miracle will tell every generation that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church of God, and that every weapon that was formed against it shall not prosper...

H. H. Pope Shenouda III has reflected all these meanings in his poem "FOR THE CHURCH" of which we quote the following excerpt:

The gates of hell shall not prevail against you,

So rest assured and relax , for the One crucified is with you.

Ask about the time of Al-Mu'iz, for it knows it out of experience;

Ask it how by faith you moved the Mokattam,

A mountain that shook because of you, and you willed it,

You could break into pieces.

You who forget, understand the heart of history.

The means whereby this miracle was immortalized are:

a) The three day fast that precedes the Christmas fast

The Pope Anba Abram the Syrian decided to make the three days which the church fasted on account of this miracle as a continuing ordinance in the church, which all the Copts should keep. After these three days were added to the Christmas fast, it became 43 days after it has once been 40 only. It begins on November 25. each year.

Here is what history has to say about it:

Anba Abram has appended three days to the Christmas fast, which used to be forty days; these three days being the days which the Christians fasted under that Patriarch to remove the impending flail from them which came about because of the wiles of the Jewish minister Jacob Ibn Killis. (23)

b) The icon of the two Saints, Anba Abram and Samaan the Tanner

An icon adorns the northern wall in the yard of the church of The Virgin Mary, which is known as "The Suspended Church", in Old Cairo that dates back to the fifteenth century AD (which is five centuries after the miracle, and it must have been drawn from another picture that we do not have at present). This icon represents Anba Abram and Saint Samaan the Tanner, and together with them the Virgin Mary appears in the picture. (33)

3) The building of a church in the name of Saint Samaan the Tanner in the Mokattam Mountain:

The will of God decreed that the first church would be built in the memory of this miracle after ten centuries of its occurrence. It was built on the Mokattam itself under H. H. Pope Shenouda III in 1974, as we shall see later on.

6) A Research on the Determination of the Date of the Miracle.

History has recorded the miracle of moving the Mokattam mountain showing that it took place under the caliph Al-Mu'iz Li Din Illah Al-Fatimi, which coincides with the time of Pope Abram the Syrian the 62nd. Patriarch, at the hands of Saint Samaan the Tanner.

But history does not record the day, the month, and the year in which the miracle was performed, which is a remarkable thing indeed!

Maybe the reason for this neglect is the fact that the miracle was such a supernatural occurrence to the historians of that era that they deemed it superfluous to back it up historically, for on that day an unforgettable earthquake shook the earth, and it was kept in people's minds by the power of its effect that shook the souls. So it was meant to remain intact in the minds, down the ages...

But forgetfulness is human; therefore history is found lacking in the determination of the date of the miracle.

In fact, it is not difficult to know the exact day, month, and year of the miracle, for we can get to know that by comparing the events that occurred at the time of the miracle. This we shall try to clarify in our research, by the grace of God and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.

In order to be able to deduce the year in which the miracle took place, let us review the following:

(A) The miracle must have happened between the years 975 and 979 AD.

The miracle was performed under Pope Abram The Syrian who was ordained as patriarch in AD 975 and rested in peace in AD 979. So the miracle should be restricted to these two dates.

(B) The miracle must have happened in the same year of the renewal of the church of Abu Sifein

The renewal of this church was one of the results of the miracle. When the caliph insisted the Pope should ask for him something which he (the caliph) promised to carry out, the Pope asked for a permission to renew the church of Markorios Abu Sifein in Old Cairo.

History says

And he ordered, immediately, that a legal paper of entitlement should be written him... (34)

And it also says:

The caliph commanded that he should be given the church of Abu Sifein right away (35)

The word "immediately" and the word "right away" indicate that the permission to renew the church took place directly after the miracle, namely in the same year of the miracle.

It is well established from history that the renewal of the church had begun also at the time of the miracle, namely shortly after the permission was issued and the church was handed over. Our evidence of this is the historical record of the events that occurred at the beginning of the renewal of the church.

When the decree that Al-Mu'iz issued was read in front of the church of Abu Sifein, the mobs gathered in clamor and objection, declaring that they would not allow anyone to rebuild the church.

The caliph heard of what had happened, and got furiously angry to the extent that he rode his steed and headed his army to Babylon, to the spot where Anba Abram wanted to work.

As soon as he arrived there, he ordered the builders to work in his presence and under his own supervision. When the mobs saw how firm the caliph Al-Mu'iz was, they stood there in silence and just looked at him as if stricken with awe. (36)

These facts confirm that the building of the church of Abu Sifein was started directly after the miracle, for the caliph was still so impressed and enthusiastic that he himself came in order to enable the pope to work on the building.

It is a historical fact that the rebuilding of the Markorios Abu Sifein church was in AD 979.(37)

(C) Then the year the miracle took placemust have been AD 979:

This is because the year of the rebuilding of the church of Markorios Abu Sifein is supposed to have followed the miracle directly.

2) Determining the day of the miracle

(A) It is an established historical fact that the Patriarch Anba Abram called for a three day fast for the miracle to happen, saying to the bishops, the priests and the people whom he gathered in the Suspended Church:

"We are to fast and pray these three days which I have asked of the caliph as respite, so that the Lord may show mercy upon us in His grace, and provide us a way of deliverance." (38)

(B) It is also estabished historically that in the third day of the fast, the miracle happened ... for it is recorded that " In the morning of the third day the Patriarch told the Caliph that he was going to move the Mountain .." (39)

(C) It is also known historically that these three days of fasting were added to the Christmas fast, for it is recorded that "three days were appended to the Christmas fast, which used to be forty days only... These three days are the days which the Christians fasted under the Patriarch to remove the impending flail from them which came about because of the wiles of the Jewish minister." (40)

(D) The question that concerns us here is why this three day fast of the miracle was added to the Christmas fast in particular?

Has this been done haphazardly, irrationally?

But how could we conceive it has been so done?

And could the church accept such an act?

Then, there must be a reason and a relationship between these three days and the Christmas fast.

(E) If it were up to the church to append these days to any other fast, it would have rather added it to the fast of Jonah or the fast of the Virgin; and this is for the following reasons:

1) The addition to the fast of Jonah

The fast of Jonah was introduced by Pope Abram the Syrian who himself introduced the three day fast of the moving of the Mokattam mountain. For being Syrian himself, he kept up the fast of Jonah which the Syrian church observed. Now when he was ordained a Patriarch of the Coptic church, he observed it in its time, and the people followed suit and kept this custom till this day. (41)

So then, if were the up to the Pope's choice to append this three day fast of the miracle, he would have added to the fast of Jonah, especially that the two fasts share a common nature, namely were fasts in times of distress.

For the fast of Jonah was observed because of the distress that the people of Nineveh had to go through, for which they implored the tender mercies of God, and the fast of the moving of the Mokattam mountain was because of the distress that came over the people of Egypt, for which they implored the tender mercies of God.

Furthermore, it is quite a small number of days if one adds three to three, which totals six days, while the addition of three to forty is quite the opposite. For 43 days are not short periods of time at all.

2) The addition to the fast of the Virgin Mary
If it were up to the church to add the three day fast of the miracle to any other fast, it would have been to add it to the fast of the Virgin Mary (42), since it was the Virgin herself that appeared to the Patriarch and guided him to Saint Samaan the Tanner. So it would have rather added these three days to her fast to glorify her and in remembrance of her intercession.

But since these three days were added to neither of these two fasts, which otherwise deserve that this fast be added to them, then there remains the question: why were these three days appended to the Christmas fast?

In attempt to answer this question, we say that the Patriarch Abram the Syrian seems, on historical accounts, to have been quite minute as to keeping the dates of the fasts on their occasions, for history says:

When the date of Nineveh's fast had fully come, he fasted it and his children followed suit, and therefore the Coptic church kept this custom till this day. (43)

So it is most probable, that the three day fast regarding the moving of the Mokattam mountain was fasted by the people just before the Christmas fast, and after the same fashion which our church kept till this day because that is when it actually happened.

The Christmas fast used to begin on November28. each year and last till Christmas (January 7), which makes 40 days in all. But when the fast of the moving of the Mokattam was added to it, the sum total became 43 days and people began to observe it starting from November 25 every year. And since the miracle took place on the third day of the fast, then it took place on November 27.

So according to this research, it is true, the date of the miracle would be Hatur 18. 695 AM , namely November 27. 979 AD.

3) Celebrating the memory of this miracle

At any rate, whether this assumption is correct or not, it is still fitting to celebrate the memory of this miracle during the first three days of the Christmas fast, namely from November 25. till November 27. every year, simply because they are the days that were appended to the Christmas fast in remembrance of this great miracle of moving the Mokattam mountain. For this reason, these three days in particular should be a period of spiritual revival, daily meetings, and divine masses for the memory of this supernatural wonder, for the victories of faith, and for the church's triumph over all the powers of evil, and over every weapon that formed against it, according to the sure and faithful divine promises.

"And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." (Mt 16:18)

"No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that will accuse you."

(Is 54:17)

My Great God, I thank You because that which is impossible with men is possible with You. However great the mountain may be, Your power is much greater.

My Lord, grant my complete faith and confidence in Your hand which raises mountains. Allow me, Lord, to come to You, imploring, "Lord, I believe. help my lack of faith." Let me place my small unable hand into Your big able hand that moves the mountains of weakness and doubt from my heart. And help me continue being confident in You, trusting You, proud of You. Amen.

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Matthew 21

18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

8 For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

9 Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread,

10 or a snake when he asks for a fish? 11 If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.

Matthew 21

The Cursing of the Fig Tree.

18 When he was going back to the city in the morning, he was hungry.

19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went over to it, but found nothing on it except leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again.” And immediately the fig tree withered.

20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed and said, “How was it that the fig tree withered immediately?”

21 Jesus said to them in reply, “Amen, I say to you, if you have faith and do not waver, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.

22 Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive.”

The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar
orders that 3 men ( Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego )
be placed into the fire of a furnace.

But the 3 men were Not hurt.

In the fire, there is a Fourth man
and the form of the Fourth is like the Son of God ( Daniel 3:25 )

DANIEL 3

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel+3&version=NKJV

Saved in Fiery Trial

24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?”

They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.”

25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here.” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire.

27 And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them.

28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!

29 Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; because there is no other God who can deliver like this.”

30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in the province of Babylon.

C.S. Lewis
Modern Theology and Biblical Criticism

I have been reading poems, romances, vision-literature, legends, myths all my life. I know what they are like. I know that not one of them is like this. Of this text there are only two possible views. Either this is reportage – though it may no doubt contain errors – pretty close up to the facts; nearly as close as Boswell. Or else, some unknown writer in the second century, without known predecessors or successors, suddenly anticipated the whole technique of modern, novelistic, realistic narrative. If it is untrue, it must be narrative of that kind. The reader who doesn't see this has simply not learned to read....

The Peshitta is the official Bible of the Church of the East. The name Peshitta in Aramaic means "Straight", in other words, the original and pure New Testament. The Peshitta is the only authentic and pure text which contains the books in the New Testament that were written in Aramaic, the Language of Mshikha (the Messiah) and His Disciples.

In reference to the originality of the Peshitta, the words of His Holiness Mar Eshai Shimun, Catholicos Patriarch of the Church of the East, are summarized as follows:

"With reference to....the originality of the Peshitta text, as the Patriarch and Head of the Holy Apostolic and Catholic Church of the East, we wish to state, that the Church of the East received the scriptures from the hands of the blessed Apostles themselves in the Aramaic original, the language spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and that the Peshitta is the text of the Church of the East which has come down from the Biblical times without any change or revision."

Psalm 110 is a Messianic Psalm and prophecy.

Matthew and Acts references Psalm 110.

The first line of Psalm 110 is confusing.

It confused me, but seemed important, so I researched it.

This is what I found.

Psalm 110:1 contains an oracle in which Yahweh addresses David’s Lord and instructs him to take a seat of honor at his right hand until Yahweh has defeated the king’s enemies and brought them into complete subjection to the king. The remainder of the psalm in- cludes an invitation for the king to rule in the midst of his conquered enemies. It also tells about the king’s army of willing soldiers, identifies the king as a priest after the order of Melchizedek, and describes Yah- weh’s destruction of the king’s enemies. It concludes with a picture of the king drinking from a brook and lifting his head in victory.

In this essay, the literary context of the verse was considered with the primary focus being centered on the text of the rest of the psalm. Arguments in favor of the Davidic and Solomonic interpretations of Psalm 110:1 were surveyed and evaluated. Several difficulties with these two positions were pointed out including the fact that neither David nor Solomon could rightly be called a “priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” This article has argued that the directly messi- anic interpretation of Psalm 110:1 is best able to handle the text of the psalm.

Furthermore, the NT’s use of Psalm 110:1 consistently affirms a directly messianic understanding of the psalm. The NT shows that Jesus and the apostles considered Psalm 110:1 to be a prophecy about the Messiah. Jewish leaders who interacted with Jesus on this subject and those who heard Peter’s sermon on the Day of Pentecost also ap- pear to have held this view. No one in the NT ever suggests that Psalm 110 was written about David or any other historical king. Combined with the exegetical and contextual arguments against the Davidic and Solomonic views, the NT’s use of Psalm 110:1 strongly supports the view which sees this text as a direct prophecy about the Messiah.

http://www.gotquestions.org/Melchizedek.html

Melchizedek, whose name means “king of righteousness,” was a king of Salem (Jerusalem) and priest of the Most High God (Genesis 14:18–20; Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5:6–11; 6:20—7:28)

http://www.hebrew-streams.org/works/qumran/melchizedek-dss.html

based on the Bible, Melchizedek was:

the "king of Salem" [Heb. Shalem; later known as Yerushalayim or Jerusalem]
"priest of the Most High God" and a "great man"
a contemporary of Abraham (ca. 2000 BC[E])

Melchizedek,
the king and priest of Shalem at the time of Abraham

foreshadowing of the Eucharist -- the sacrifice and food of the New Covenant -- is the bread and wine offered by the priest Melchizedek.

The Mystery of Melchizedek

_____________________

Melchizedek suddenly shows up in Genesis chapter 14 verse 18

Melchizedek brings out Bread and Wine,
and blesses Abraham.

This happens in Genesis Chapter 14 verses 18 - 20.
There is No mention of Melchizedek Before.
There is No mention of Melchizedek in the rest of Genesis.

The only other times that Melchizedek is mentioned in the Old Testament is in Psalm 110.

Paul's epistle to the Hebrews discusses the importance of Melchizedek.

Melchizedek was Both King and Priest.

_____________________

Melchizedek = Melchi-Zedek = King + Righteous

Shalom = Peace

Salem = Peace

Jerusalem = Jeru-Salem = City of Peace

" king of Salem " = king of Peace

Bread and Wine = like the Eucharist

_____________________

Melchizedek,
king of Salem,
brought out Bread and Wine.
He was a Priest of God Most High.
He blessed Abraham with these words:

“ Blessed be Abraham by God Most High,
the creator of heaven and earth;

And blessed be God Most High,
who delivered your foes into your hand. ”

Then Abraham gave him a tenth (tithe) of everything.

LUKE

Chapter 4

14 Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.

15 And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

MATTHEW was the first gospel in my opinion

I have been reading the
Eastern-Greek Orthodox (EOB) New Testament (NT)
and I feel that it is a very important work.

It is based on the
official authorized 1904
Patriarchal Text (PT)
Greek New Testament
of the Greek-Eastern Orthodox Church.

The Greek-Eastern Orthodox Church
reviewed greek manuscripts
preserved and used by their churches,
referenced St John Chrysostom,
and published an Official Authorized
Greek New Testament.

This is important.
Jerusalem and Antioch were in the Eastern Church.
EAST.

American, English, Protestant, Catholic Bibles are of the WEST.

First, there is the term tupos (the basis of our English word “type”). Though this word is variously employed in the New Testament, it is certainly used in our present sense in Romans 5:14 where Paul declares that Adam “is a figure (tupos) of him that was to come”, i.e., Christ.

That means that the NT writers use the LXX most of the time when they quote the Old Testament (Jobes and Silva 2000: 189–93).

Most Christians in the first four centuries of the Church could read only Greek. The LXX was their complete Bible. bbRespected Church Fathers such as Irenaeus (Against Heresies 3.21.2–3) and Tertullian (Apology 18) had a very high view of the LXX as being the Word of God.

“King Solomon also built ships at Ezion Geber, which is near Elath, in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea [yam suph].” Presumably the wise Solomon would not have built his ships on an inland reedy lake, since he would not have been able to get them out! The precise locations of ancient Elath and Ezion Geber are uncertain, although many scholars believe that Elath was in, or close to, modern Aqaba in Jordan, on the northeast side of the head of the Gulf of Aqaba. However, we do know that ancient Edom was a country adjacent to the Gulf of Aqaba, hence we can say with reasonable certainty that the biblical yam suph is the Gulf of Aqaba, which is one arm of the Red Sea (the other arm being the Gulf of Suez). Yam suph may refer to other bodies of water as well, but I suggest that it is beyond reasonable doubt that the biblical yam suph includes the Gulf of Aqaba.

Name of the Month – Red Sea
By: Jeff A. Benner

After the Israelites were delivered out of Egypt they camped at the "Red Sea". When the chariots of Pharaoh arrived the waters of the "Red Sea" were parted and the Israelites crossed over into safety on the other side.

The "Red Sea" is actually a misnomer from the translation of the Hebrew. The Hebrew is ים סוף (yam suph). The Hebrew word ים (yam) means "sea" and when used alone refers to the Mediterranean Sea. Another Hebrew word is derived from this word, it is the word יום (yom) meaning day. In the Hebrew reckoning of time, the day begins at sunset. At sunset the sun sets in the west and into the Mediterranean Sea.

The word סוף (suph) literally means "edge". This can be the edge of a country (border), the lips as the edge of the mouth, or an outline of something. In the Biblical text this word is used for "reeds" which line the banks, or edge, of rivers. Hence, the "yam suph" is the "Sea of Reeds" or "Reed Sea". Somewhere in time the "Reed Sea" became the "Red Sea".

This same word, "suph", is used in Jewish theology in the term "eyen soph" (with just a vowel change). The word "eyn" means "without" and "soph" means "edge" or "definition" (as an outline). The phrase "eyn soph" means "without definition" and is used for God, the one who has no definition, outline or form.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yam_Suph

it has also been suggested that suph may be related to the Hebrew suphah ("storm") or soph ("end"), referring to the events of the Reed/Red Sea escape itself:

The crossing of the sea signaled the end of the sojourn in Egypt and it certainly was the end of the Egyptian army that pursued the fleeing Hebrews (Ex 14:23-29; 15:4-5). After this event at Yam Suph, perhaps the verb Soph, meaning "destroy" and "come to an end," originated (cf. Amos 3:15; Jer 8:13; Isa 66:17; Psa 73:19). Another possible development of this root is the word suphah, meaning "storm-wind"...The meanings "end" and "storm-wind" would have constituted nice puns on the event that took place at the Yam Suph.

http://www.testimony-magazine.org/back/nov2002/hurn.pdf

The truth may be this, that the Red Sea was
known to the Hebrews as the yam soph because
they regarded it as the ‘sea at the end of the
world’.

From a very cool history map I found these 10 toes. The World History Chart in accordance with the bible chronology. The ten kingdoms are titled, "Division of West Rome into ten parts. Dan. 7:7-8, Rev. 13:1-9." At the time there were two parts to the Roman Empire East, and West. West was overthrown in 479 by king Odoacer. Later East was overthrown by Justinian. Here are the kingdoms:

Heruli
Vandals
Ostrogoths
(these first three were all overthrown by 558 AD and joined with Italy)
Lombards
Franks
Huns
Suevi (joined or fused with other nations by 900 ad)
Burgundians
Saxons
Visigoths (joined with Spain by 900 ad)

From the above kingdoms 5, these survived until today:

Italy (Heruli, Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Lombards)
France (Franks)
Hungaria (Huns)
Germany (Burgundians, Suevi)
England (Saxons)

Here are some of the pictures:

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”

14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.”

And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”

15 Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

3 You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days.

4 And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

5 It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.”

John was sentenced to death,

but survived drinking poison,

and boiling oil

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08492a.htm

According to Tertullian's testimony (De praescript., xxxvi)

John had been thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil
before the Porta Latina at Rome
without suffering injury

http://www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-John-the-Apostle

Tertullian, the 2nd-century North African theologian, reports that
John was plunged into boiling oil
from which he miraculously escaped unscathed

https://oca.org/saints/lives/1999/09/26/102731-repose-of-the-holy-apostle-and-evangelist-john-the-theologian

During this time there had begun a persecution of Christians under the emperor Nero (56-68). They took the Apostle John for trial at Rome.

St John was sentenced to death for his confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, but the Lord preserved His chosen one.

The apostle drank a cup of deadly poison, but he remained alive.

Later, he emerged unharmed from a cauldron of boiling oil into which he had been thrown on orders from the torturer.

After this, they sent the Apostle John off to imprisonment to the island of Patmos, where he spent many years. Proceeding along on his way to the place of exile, St John worked many miracles. On the island of Patmos, his preaching and miracles attracted to him all the inhabitants of the island, and he enlightened them with the light of the Gospel. He cast out many devils from the pagan temples, and he healed a great multitude of the sick.

Cause Your face to shine,

http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Names_of_G-d/Yeshua/yeshua.html

http://jesusisajew.org/YESHUA.php

https://askdrbrown.org/portfolio/what-is-the-original-hebrew-name-for-jesus-and-is-it-true-that-the-name-jesus-is-really-a-pagan-corruption-of-the-name-zeus/

The original Hebrew-Aramaic name of Jesus is yeshu‘a,
which is short for yehōshu‘a (Joshua),
just as Mike is short for Michael.

The name yeshu‘a occurs 27 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, primarily referring to the high priest after the Babylonian exile, called both yehōshu‘a (see, e.g., Zechariah 3:3) and, more frequently, yeshu‘a (see, e.g., Ezra 3:2). So, Yeshua’s name was not unusual; in fact, as many as five different men had that name in the Old Testament.

And this is how that name came to be “Jesus” in English:

Simply stated, this is the etymological history of the name Jesus:

Hebrew/Aramaic yeshu‘a

became Greek Iēsous,

then Latin Iesus,

passing into German and then, ultimately, into English, as Jesus.

I say this as someone holding a Ph.D. in Semitic languages.

@10:24 you started talking about Isaiah 53. I just find it to be extremely interesting, that this famous passage is displayed proudly in Givat Ram, Jerusalem, in the "Shrine of the Book" where all eyes can see and read for themselves from a 2000 year old copy of this scripture, physically written before the life of Yeshua on earth. As if screaming, "BELIEVE!! BELIEVE!!" As if G-d was making sure that His message of salvation would be displayed IN WRITING for all to see!! Pretty cool!!

The Fourth Dimension and the Bible

There are many passages in the Bible that can be interpreted to prove the existence of higher dimensions. Disappearances can be explained by the escape into a physical fourth dimension. William Anthony Granville, author of The Fourth Dimension and the Bible, explains, "A man (three-dimensional being) who has been translated from our space into a higher-dimensional space will remain invisible to earthly beings until he returns again to our space." (44) Genesis 5:24 and Hebrews 11:5 describe Enoch walking with God and then disappearing because God took him. Jesus inexplicably escapes from threatening multitudes twice- John 8:59 and 10:39. It seems most logical that Jesus used the fourth dimension to elude his would-be captors.
Similar to the power to disappear from three-dimensional beings, anyone who could move in a fourth physical dimension could also transport himself/herself anywhere in our three-dimensional world instantly. The Bible also contains examples of appearances which also are easily explained with the use of the Fourth Dimension. Twice, Jesus entered the room of the disciples without using a door (John 20:19-23, 26-29). Entering a room through its walls is only possible via the Fourth Dimension. Another example of movement only possible in the Fourth Dimension is contained in Acts 8:39-40. Philip baptized an eunuch on a road and then was swept up by the Lord and found later that day at Azotus- which was several days journey from where Philip baptized the eunuch.
God is considered to be omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and infinite to human beings. These characteristics seem impossible for humans to understand. Many people base their spiritual faith on this lack of understanding and attribute to God characteristics that are impossible for three-dimensional humans to understand. However, the existence of God as a higher-dimensional being explains these characteristics simply. God- as a higher-dimensional being- is only omnipotent, omniscient, etc. to lower dimensional beings. The existence of higher dimensions clearly explains all of these powers attributed to God. It is interesting to consider God's dimensionality. While some people believe that God exists in the fourth dimension, many others place God in a higher dimension. God as existing in the twelfth dimensions:

The Book of Enoch
http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/index.htm

Enoch
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Enoch

Book of Enoch - regarded as scripture by only the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Church.

The Book of Enoch was considered as scripture in the
Epistle of Barnabas
and by many of the early Church Fathers,
such as Athenagoras, Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus and Tertullian, who wrote c. 200 that the Book of Enoch had been rejected by the Jews because it contained prophecies pertaining to Christ.

Hebrews 11:5
By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Jude 1:14
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,

The Book of Henoch (Ethiopic) ENOCH
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01602a.htm

ENOCH

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01602a.htm

It influenced not only later Jewish apocrypha, but has left its imprint on the New Testament and the works of the early Fathers. The canonical Epistle of St. Jude, in verses 14, 15, explicitly quotes from the Book of Henoch; the citation is found in the Ethiopic version in verses 9 and 4 of the first chapter. There are probable traces of the Henoch literature in other portions of the New Testament.

Passing to the patristic writers, the Book of Henoch enjoyed a high esteem among them, mainly owing to the quotation in Jude. The so-called Epistle of Barnabas twice cites Henoch as Scripture. Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Origen, and even St. Augustine suppose the work to be a genuine one of the patriarch. But in the fourth century the Henoch writings lost credit and ceased to be quoted. After an allusion by an author of the beginning of the ninth century, they disappear from view.

So great was the oblivion into which they fell that only scanty fragments of Greek and Latin versions were preserved in the West. The complete text was thought to have perished when it was discovered in two Ethiopic manuscripts in Abyssinia, by the traveler Bruce in 1773. Since, several more copies in the same language have been brought to light. Recently a large Greek fragment comprising chapters i-xxxii was unearthed at Akhmîn in Egypt.

The Mandylion of Edessa is believed to have been created after King Agbar of Edessa, now the Turkish city Urfa, asked an unknown painter to go to the Holy Land to paint Jesus. According to legend, the painter was unable to capture Christ's image because he was so dazzled by the light shining from his face. Instead, Christ wiped his face on a towel after washing himself and left an image behind. When the cloth was returned to Agbar, it is believed to have cured him of leprosy.

http://www.goarch.org/ourfaith/ourfaith7124

The excellent book "Orthodox Worship" describes the meaning of the word mercy as follows:

"The word mercy in English is the translation of the Greek word eleos. This word has the same ultimate root as the old Greek word for oil, or more precisely, olive oil; a substance which was used extensively as a soothing agent for bruises and minor wounds. The oil was poured onto the wound and gently massaged in, thus soothing, comforting and making whole the injured part. The Hebrew word which is also translated as eleos and mercy is hesed, and means steadfast love. The Greek words for 'Lord, have mercy,' are 'Kyrie, eleison' that is to say, 'Lord, soothe me, comfort me, take away my pain, show me your steadfast love.' Thus mercy does not refer so much to justice or acquittal a very Western interpretation but to the infinite loving-kindness of God, and his compassion for his suffering children! It is in this sense that we pray 'Lord, have mercy,' with great frequency throughout the Divine Liturgy."*

_______

Messianic Jews = Jews who believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah
provide interesting insights

Messianic Jews see Jesus Christ (Yeshua) as the fulfillment of the Old Testament

Paul = Saul was a Pharisee Jew

Modern Jews who look at the New Testament
with an open mind and open heart
see that Jesus Christ (Yeshua) is the Messiah of Israel

Messianic Jews point to the Old Testament
as the foundation for their faith in Jesus

The Prophet Daniel predicted that
the Messiah would come
Before the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.
The Romans destroyed the Temple in 70 AD.
Therefore, the Messiah must have come Before 70 AD.

The whole Old Testament points to Him
Jesus Christ = Yeshua (Hebrew)

_______

On all theological issues,
I refer to the Greek Orthodox Church

Let me tell you why ~

The Greek Orthodox Church
starts and ends with Jesus = Alpha and Omega

Start with - What did Jesus say and do

The Bible is the primary source

Early Church Fathers are referenced

Church Traditions are respected

Logic is used

In the Spirit of Faith

All theology should center on Jesus

Makes sense for Christians

BBC British Broadcasting Corporation

This is a British show

which has some "academic" atheists

who doubt God,

and imply that Christians are ignorant and stupid.

Well I am not ignorant and stupid.

Atheist arguments are weak and small minded

are show radical skepticism

and leaps of logic.

Due to my education and experiences,

I see the Atheists thinking is tiny.

It seems that at secular universities and colleges,

the professors believe that the Bible is Fiction.

It is hard to "prove" God.

But it is impossible to disprove God.

In fact, when you look at Everything,

with an open mind and a true heart

and use logic,

Everything points to God.

The lady in the red hat Patsy McKie

who lost her son,

spoke from her heart,

and she had the strongest voice.

You shall love the Lord your God
