Wa-itha albiharu sujjirat
81.6 And when the sea and river shall be filled with fire and dried up.
Summary of 81.6:
Revelation tells us that fire (pur) was thrown into the sea and it became blood (aima)
In the same fashion, Revelation informs us that the angels bowls were poured out on the sea (thalassa), and the river (potamas), and they also turned to blood (aima)
In addition, Revelation specifically mentions the great river Euphrates and its water being dried up (xeraino)
81.6 begins with wa-itha, and is a continuation of 81.5
81.6 informs us that the sea (biharu), or Great River (such as the Euphrates), will become filled with fire and dry up (sujjirat)
Furthermore, biharu informs us of a blood red color
In reviewing ayahs 81.1 " 81.6, we discover that the Koranic authors have mentioned the events of one trumpet blast (of the seven described), when Jesus opens the Seventh Seal:
1. 1st trumpet
2. 2nd Trumpet
3. 3rd trumpet
4. 4th Trumpet
5. 5th trumpet
6. 6th trumpet
7. 7th Trumpet
It is quite clear that the authors of the Koran are once again referencing the Book of Revelation Eschatology by mentioning the river/sea, and them turning to blood.
Wa-itha almawoodatu su-ilat
81.8 And when she is questioned about the sound
Summary of 81.8:
Revelation informs us that Demonic Locusts have been released from the abussos, which is used as a common receptacle for the dead
The fact that these demons are alive indicates that they were sealed in the abussos while they were still alive
81.8 begins with wa-itha, and is a continuation of 81.7
This same message is revealed to us in 81.8, as almawoodatu, and its root waada, can mean to bury alive
Revelation also tells us that the sound heard (phone), from the demonic locust wings, is likened to the sound of chariots with many horses running to war
81.8 informs us that the sound heard (almawoodatu), is likened to The sound occasioned by vehement or heavy treading of the ground
In reviewing ayahs 81.1 " 81.8, we discover that the Koranic authors have mentioned the events of two trumpet blasts (of the seven described), when Jesus opens the Seventh Seal:
1. 1st trumpet
2. 2nd Trumpet
3. 3rd trumpet
4. 4th Trumpet
5. 5th trumpet
6. 6th trumpet
7. 7th Trumpet
Thus, as we can already begin to see, the authors of the Koran understood that the Locusts described in Revelation were indeed buried alive and that the sound that they produced is likened to the sound of heavy treading upon the ground just like the Biblical description of many horses running to war
Bi-ayyi thanbin qutilat
81.9 On account of which tail she was killed
Summary of 81.9:
Revelation describes the demonic locusts as having a tail (oura), like that of a scorpion, in which is inflicted harm (adikeo), to men
81.9 begins with bi-ayyi, meaning that it is used to denote the employing a thing as an aid or instrument; denoting a cause; denoting concomitance; a part of the whole, which links the sound described in 81.8, with what follows
81.9 links the sound described in 81.8 with a tail (thanbin), in which she was killed (qutilat)
Interestingly, thanbin is said of the locust regarding its tail
Thanbin is also said of the lizard, signifying it struck with its tail a hunter or serpent desiring to catch it
Revelation tells us that the power of the demonic locusts is in their mouths and in their tails
Their tails inflict harm (adikeo), to men; and their mouths kill (apokteino), men
In reviewing ayahs 81.1 " 81.9, we discover that the Koranic authors have mentioned the events of three trumpet blasts (of the seven described), when Jesus opens the Seventh Seal:
1. 1st trumpet
2. 2nd Trumpet
3. 3rd trumpet
4. 4th Trumpet
5. 5th trumpet
6. 6th trumpet
7. 7th Trumpet
Amazingly, 81.8 & 81.9 are describing the very same events that transpire in Revelation chapter 9; i.e. she (Babylon the Great; the city of man) is killed on account of the mouths and tails of the demonic locusts
Aljawari alkunnasi
81.16 The ships, the stars
Summary of 81.16:
The Lamb (i.e. Jesus), by opening the Seventh Seal, causes the third part of the ships (ploion) to be destroyed
81.16 likewise mentions the ships (aljawari)
Observe that 81.16 is listing the things that were established as being divided into parts in 81.15
The Lamb (i.e. Jesus), by opening the Seventh Seal, also causes the third part of the stars (aster) to be struck
81.16 likewise follows suit and mentions the stars (alkunnasi) in the very same order as that of Revelation
Revelation tells us that the stars will be darkened (skotizo)
Observe that 81.16 describes, via kunnasi, that these stars hide themselves in their place of setting
In reviewing ayahs 81.1 " 81.16, we discover that the Koranic authors have mentioned the events of four trumpet blasts (of the seven described), when Jesus opens the Seventh Seal:
1. 1st trumpet
2. 2nd Trumpet
3. 3rd trumpet
4. 4th Trumpet
5. 5th trumpet
6. 6th trumpet
7. 7th Trumpet
Waallayli itha AAasAAasa
81.17 And/by the night when it departed
Summary of 81.17:
The Lamb (i.e. Jesus), by opening the Seventh Seal, causes the third part of the night (nux) to depart (phaino me)
81.17, which is a continuation of 81.16, via the copulative conjunction wa, and, in keeping with the sequence mandated by Revelation, mentions the night (layli)
Just as in 81.16, 81.17 is listing the things that are being divided into parts
81.17 likewise tells us that the night will depart (AAasAAasa)
In reviewing ayahs 81.1 " 81.17, we discover that the Koranic authors have mentioned the events of four trumpet blasts (of the seven described), when Jesus opens the Seventh Seal:
1. 1st trumpet
2. 2nd Trumpet
3. 3rd trumpet
4. 4th Trumpet
5. 5th trumpet
6. 6th trumpet
7. 7th Trumpet
There can be no doubt that 81.16 and 81.17 represent the 2nd & 4th trumpet Blasts that occur when the Lamb (i.e. Jesus) opens the Seventh Seal
Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin
81.24 And he is not against the Mystery on account of its tenaciousness.
Summary of 81.24:
Revelation tells us that when the Seventh angel sounds his trumpet, the mystery (musterion) of God will be ended
81.24, which is a continuation of 81.23 via the copulative conjunction wa(and), informs us that huwa, or he (i.e. John), is ma, not against the mystery (alghaybi) that has been proclaimed by the Mighty Angel
Revelation tells us that the Mystery applies to God, as preached to His slaves, the prophets
Likewise, 81.24 informs us that it is bi, on account of, alghayba, or the Mystery, that it is undiscoverable unless by means of divine revelation; that it is a thing that has been hidden from men, with which the prophet has acquainted them, of the events of the resurrection and of paradise and of hell, etc. - the exact things that are to be found in the Book of Revelation
Furthermore, 81.24 holds this Mystery to be very high in estimation via the singular term daneenin, which is only used this once in the entire Koran
In addition, the root dzanna informs us that it also represents an epithet applied to a plural number
Hence, we have both singular and plural being applied to this Mystery
Revelation tells us that the Mystery of God will be revealed at the Seventh trumpet blast
In reviewing ayahs 81.1 " 81.24, we discover that the Koranic authors have mentioned the events of five trumpet blasts (of the seven described), when Jesus opens the Seventh Seal:
1. 1st trumpet
2. 2nd Trumpet
3. 3rd trumpet
4. 4th Trumpet
5. 5th trumpet
6. 6th trumpet
7. 7th Trumpet
Without a doubt, the Book of Revelation is continuing to guide the hands of the Koranic authors as they pen their opus
Faalmugheerati subhan
100.3 So the horses, (with) female hair, making a hostile incursion.
Summary of 100.3:
Johns vision of the Demonic Locusts continues by informing us of the large size of the army (strateuma) of the cavalry of horsemen (hippikon)
100.3, just like 100.2, also begins with the copulative particle fa, which indicates a close connection between the sentences before and after it; signifying either definite cause and effect or a natural sequence of events
Again, juxtaposed to fa is al, which informs us that it is also used to indicate something which has already been mentioned or a concept of which is in the mind of the writer or reader
Thus, the material contained in 100.3 is also previously known material, and is a continuation (or effect) of the attributes ascribed unto the horses contained in 100.1 & 100.2
The feminine plural mugheerati, tells us that the horses are making a hostile incursion
The root ghara elaborates by informing us that this predatory incursion is against the people
The root ghara also delivers to us the message that this predatory incursion of horsemen is a numerous army, just as foretold in Revelation
Johns vision of the Demonic Locusts also describes them as having the hair (threeks) of women
Likewise, 100.3, by using the feminine word subhan, tells us that it is an epithet that describes hair
100.3 describes female hair as being on the Demonic Locusts
Subhan also signifies a female conspicuous " meaning that it is obvious to the eye or mind
Johns vision of the Demonic Locusts further describes them as having the heads of lions, and the faces of men
Amazingly, 100.3 also follows suit with the word subhan, which also serves as an epithet applied to a man and to a lion
100.3 describes the Demonic Locusts as being like both a man and a lion
Reviewing the Koranic description offered to us regarding the Demonic Locusts, as revealed in 100.1 - 100.3, which encompasses both the Fifth and the Sixth trumpet blasts; we have the following parallels to Revelation chapter 9:
1. They were once hidden or concealed
2. They are likened to Horses prepared for war
3. The Horses have riders
4. Adorned with Fire-colored Breastplates
5. Fire issues from their mouths
6. Brimstone issues from their mouths
7. They are like a large army
8. They have female hair
9. They are in likeness to a man
10. They are in likeness to a lion
