The prophecy was corroborated by Jesus (pbuh)
prophet jesus' (pbuh) sayings also support the prophecy of isaiah (9:6)
in the book of john (john 14:16-17): "and i will pray to the father, and he will
give you another counselor (another prophet) to be with you forever (until the
last day).";(john 15:26): "but when the counselor comes, whom i shall send
to you from the father, even the spirit of truth, who proceeds from the father,
he will bear witness to me."; (john 16:7): "nevertheless, i tell you the truth: it is
to your advantage that i go away, for if i do not go away the counselor will not
come to you; but if i go, i will send him to you..."; (john 16:12-15): "i have yet
many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. when the spirit of
truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his
own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you
the things that are to come. he will glorify me for he will take what is mine and
declare it to you."
these above verses from the bible prove one thing that jesus (pbuh)
expected someone to continue his unfinished mission (the worship of one true
god), whom jesus (pbuh) called "eli" or "elio" in his aramaic language which
corresponds to "elohem" for the jews and "allah" for the arabs (muslims). he
anticipated the advent of a counselor and spirit of truth like him whose words
are true (coming from god), but not the holy ghost as claimed by authorities of
the churches. the one who would come is a man like jesus (pbuh) with flesh
and bones, a prophet like him not the spirit of a different nature, which cannot
be seen.
since the christians claimed that the holy ghost is one of trinity,
whom they believed to be one of the godhead, then their argument that this
spirit of truth is the same as the holy ghost is untenable. john (16:12-15)
above clearly explained the spirit of truth as one who is dependent on god. the
words "for he will not speak on his authority but whatever he hears he will
speak" meant nothing more then a subservient servant who is going to fulfill his
master's (god's) will and he can never be god, for god is a master unto
himself.
further, jesus (pbuh) said, that the spirit of truth will foretell and
glorify him by taking his message from his unfinished mission and teach it to
the people. all the above sayings were inspired by god and all were fulfilled by
prophet muhammad (pbuh).
again, the contents of the qur'an came from allah through the agency
of angel gabriel; the circumstances and the manner how muhammad (pbuh)
received it has a profound resemblance with the prophecy in isaiah (29:12):
"and when they give the book (scroll) to one who cannot read", saying "read
this", he says, "i cannot read". it means that he will not speak of his own
authority, but whatever he hears he will speak. and when jesus (pbuh) said, "he
will glorify me for he will take what is mine and declare it to you," becomes all
the more decisive, in that, the message of prophet muhammad (pbuh) was in no
way different message but the same in essence, intent and purpose as the
previous messages which call for the worship of the only true god (allah).
further, jesus (pbuh) was glorified in the qur'an by his name "jesus" 25 times
and that the whole chapter 19 of the qur'an is names after his mother "mary".
