The Reward

إلا الذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت وتواصوا بالحق وتواصوا بالصبر

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati watawasaw bialhaqqi watawasaw bialssabri

103.3 Except whom they believed and they did the righteous deeds, and bequeathed one another on account of the truth, and bequeathed one another on account of the patience.

Summary of 103.3:

• Revelation describes the reward that awaits the ones keeping (tereo) the commands of God, and The Truth (pist is) of Jesus

• 103.3 begins with “illa”, which gives exception to the harvest punishment, as described in 103.2

• 103.3 describes the harvest reward

• 103.3 tells us that this reward is for the believers (amanoo)

• The root “amina” further tells us that this faith is “secure, safe, or in a state of security or safety” – same as told by Revelation

• Revelation tells us that these are the ones keeping the patience (hupomone) of the most holy/saints (hagios)

• Revelation also tells us that these are the ones that shall rest from their labors

• And that their deeds (ergon) follow with them

• Identically, 103.3 informs us of the righteous deeds (alssalihati) that the believers had done – via the perfect tense (completed action) of “amiloo”

• Observe that it is the Holy Spirit that confirms this “deed-based” rest in Revelation

• Rev 14.12 & 14.13 demonstrate the Triune nature of the One God

• Thus, by copying the Biblical Revelatory material, the authors of the Koran have imputed the Triune nature of the One God into their scriptures

• Also, observe that Islam has taken this Biblical scripture (and others like it) and read into it a “salvation through good deeds” based faith – misconstruing the Biblical mandate of “salvation unto good deeds”

• Two sets of requests are given by the angels in Revelation chapter 14:

1. As directed to the Son of Man (i.e. Jesus), to gather the believers

2. As directed by the 3rd angel to the 2nd angel, to gather the unbelievers

• Likewise, two sets of requests (“tawasaw”) are given in 103.3:

1. On account of the truth, “alhaqqi” (one of the names of “allah”)

2. On account of the patience, “alsabri”

• Observe what has just taken place:

A. The Koranic account twice proclaims the divinity of Jesus by identically mimicking the assertion of the Truth; i.e. “alhaqqi” ( a name of “allah”) as directly compared to The Truth “pist is” of Jesus as proclaimed in Revelation

B. Jesus is The Truth

C. “allah” is the truth

D. The Koranic account again proclaims the divinity of Jesus by identically mimicking the assertion of the patience (alsabri), as directly compared to the “hupomone”, or patience of the “hagios”, or most holy/saints as proclaimed in Revelation

E. Jesus is the patience

F. “allah” is the patience

• Sura 103 details how eternal Salvation is obtained:

A. Belief in Jesus

B. Good deeds FOLLOW you…not PRECEDE you

• The Koran, by copying the Book of Revelation, has confirmed the means of eternal Salvation – of which, this original meaning, has been lost in Islam

• Further, observe that in all Koranic locations of “bialssabri”, it directly refers to Biblical material; Jesus; and the people of the Right Hand

• Further still, when Jesus comes to gather His people, the visual of a “leukos nephele”, or white cloud, is utilized

• Amazingly, 103.3 also has as a definition for “sabri”, the same white cloud, as representing the patience

• Observe these astounding parallels to Revelation chapter fourteen, from the three ayahs of sura 103…

1. The time of the Harvest is known

2. Disbelievers are likened to grapes

3. These grapes are put into the winepress of God

4. The winepress is a sin punishment

5. The reward is for the believers

6. Eternal Salvation for the believers is gained first through the belief in Jesus

7. Deeds follow the believers

8. Deeds do not precede the believers

9. The believers are saved by the Truth of Jesus

10. The believers are saved by the Patience of Jesus

11. Jesus comes on a cloud

12. Jesus mandated as God
