While reading the Bible, I came upon a story which Strengthened my faith in Islam even more.

According to the Bible, { Genesis 11:1} humans all spoke one language at one time. These humans
were trying to build a tower to see God. God Warned them to cease building the
tower, yet they disobeyed God and continued to build the Tower.

As a punishment for their disobedience, God cursed them by making them all speak
a different language. This tower is now called the “Tower of Babylon.” {Genesis
11:19} and that is where we get the word “Babel”

The Holy Qur’an is their forgiveness, if the humans return to obeying God, then
they are again united in a brotherhood and sisterhood of one Semitic language,
Arabic.

This is astonishing since only 27% of the Muslims are Arabs and there are almost
1.5 Billion Muslims world wide, all united with one language,
praying in unison, re-united, this is also predicted in the Bible;

“For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.” {Zephaniah 3:9}

In the Strong’s Bible Dictionary, the word “language (saphah)” in this verse can also mean [ side, edge, border]

Therefore, Zephaniah 3:9 can also be translated to read “I will TURN people to ONE direction” which we witness with Muslims all facing -East- to pray and also speaking one language in prayer, a language which non-Arabs describe as a “pure language”

Above we see the Tower of Babylon which provoked God to curse the builders to
speak different Languages.

Below we now see the Humans re-united speaking one language, shoulder to
shoulder.

These are pictures of the Kabba built by Prophet Abraham, at different distances:

Above we now see that God forgave humans and lifted the curse exclusively for
those who submit to God’s will (Islam).

World wide, over a billion people gather worshiping with one language, one direction, one book, one God.

Re-united as brothers and sisters in towards the Kabba which is believed to be directly under the Throne of God in Heaven.

The rich with the poor, the educated with the un-educated, people from all parts of
the world re-united Obeying One God, Submitting their will to God which is the
meaning of Islam.

“”And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah’s favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided.” {Translation of the Holy Qur’an 3:103}

- When Omri Jada, a 25-year old Palestinian drove off last Friday to the Sea of Galilee for a break from the August heat, no one here realised it would be the last they would see of the likeable, hard-working young man. Read the rest of this entry »

New York, NY - According to a new scientific study, Jews are the genetic brothers of Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese, and they all share a common genetic lineage that stretches back thousands of years. This genetic brotherhood does not include non-Jewish Europeans.

This finding differs from the Anglo-Israelism teachings of the British Israel World Federation, and a number of off-beat American televangelists including Arnold Murray of the Shepherd’s Chapel in Gravette, Arkansas; and the WGN Sunday morning Church of God duo Roderick C. Meredith and Gerald Flurry. It also runs counter to the notions of Steven M. Collins in his dizzyingly speculative The “Lost” Ten Tribes of Israel…Found! (Collins 1995), the teachings of Israeli author Yair Davidy in his three books The Tribes: The Israelite Origins of Western Peoples (Davidy 1993), Ephraim (Davidy 1994), and Lost Israelite Identity (Davidy 1996), and the United Church of God’s curious new booklet The United States and Britain in Bible Prophecy (Foster 2001).

“Jews and Arabs are all really children of Abraham,” says Harry Ostrer, M.D., Director of the Human Genetics Program at New York University School of Medicine, an author of the new study by an international team of researchers^F1 in the United States, Europe, and Israel. “And all have preserved their Middle Eastern genetic roots over 4,000 years,” he says.

The researchers analyzed the Y chromosome, which is usually passed unchanged from father to son, of more than 1,000 men worldwide. Throughout human history, alterations have occurred in the sequence of chemical bases that make up the DNA in this so-called male chromosome, leaving variations that can be pinpointed with modern genetic techniques. Related populations carry the same specific variations. In this way, scientists can track descendants of large populations and determine their common ancestors. Specific regions of the Y chromosome were analyzed in 1,371 men from 29 worldwide populations, including Jews and non-Jews from the Middle East, North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe.

The study, published in the June 6, 2000, issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (on-line May 9, 2000), found that Jewish men shared a common set of genetic signatures with non-Jews from the Middle East, including Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese, and these signatures diverged significantly from non-Jewish men outside of this region. Consequently, Jews and Arabs share a common ancestor and are more closely related to one another than to non-Jews from other areas of the world (see study or obtain PDF Download).

The study also revealed that despite the complex history of Jewish migration in the Diaspora (the time since BCE 556 when Jews migrated out of Palestine), Jewish communities have generally not intermixed with non-Jewish populations. If they had, then Jewish men from different regions of the world would not share the same genetic signatures in their Y chromosome.

“Because ancient Jewish law states that Jewish religious affiliation is assigned maternally, our study afforded the opportunity to assess the contribution of non-Jewish men to present-day Jewish genetic diversity,” says Michael Hammer, Ph.D., from the University of Arizona, Tucson, who is the lead author of the new study. “It was surprising”,  he says, “to see how significant the Middle Eastern genetic signal was in Jewish men from different communities in the Diaspora.”

In 1998 BibArch called for a scientific approach to study of the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (see Who Are the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel from the Nov./Dec. 1998 issue of Perspectives). Why? The heated debate as to whether or not the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel compose the biblical and therefore the prophetic identity of the United States, Britain, and several European countries, continues to seethe. While the findings of historians, linguists and archeologists are of great import they have not established with any certainty that Americans of northern European descent, the British, and northern European peoples are indeed the descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of the House of Israel. While the study is not conclusive in explaining the fate of the Ten Lost Tribes it is a giant step in the direction of bringing scientific evidence to bear.
