53.6 Lord of one action, so to be equal.
Summary of 53.6:
• The opening chapter of Revelation repeatedly tells us of the Triune nature of the One God
• The God revealed in Revelation is Uniplural in nature
• Just as 53.5 describes a singular Lord with plural powers; 53.6 continues to describe this singular Lord via usage of the singular demonstrative pronoun “thoo”
• The overwhelming Koranic usage of “thoo” pertains to “allah”, and is best rendered “Lord of”, as it pertains to something in possession
• 53.6 tells us that the thing in possession is of one action (mirratin)
• This “one action” is juxtaposed to the copulative particle “fa”, which indicates either definite cause and effect, or a natural sequence of events
• The one-action cause (“mirratin”) has the effect of “istawa”, which is singular, in the perfect tense (completed action), and indicates “it was made, or became, symmetrical; congruous, or consistent in its several parts”
• All of this applies to the Lord (i.e. Jesus)
• Further, the only other Koranic location of “faistawa” occurs in 48.29 and specifically refers to Jesus’ Parable of the Growing Seed
• Thus, we have further Koranic confirmation that the singular Lord actually consists of a plurality that functions with a singular action
• Recapping ayahs 1 - 6 in sura 53, we have the following parallels to Revelation:
1. John falls at the feet of Jesus
2. John is the Companion of Jesus
3. John did not die
4. John did not err
5. John speaks not by his own will
6. John received divinely inspired Revelation
7. This Revelation was signified via an angel
8. The Revelation is from Jesus Christ
9. Jesus taught John
10. Jesus is the Triune God
11. Lord is Uniplural in nature
