There were mentioned here two Lords. If the first Lord (the speaker) is God, the second Lord (the one spoken to) could not be God also, as David knew only One God. So it should read: "God said unto my Lord,…" Who was that whom David called "my Lord"? The Church would say Jesus. But this had been denied by Jesus himself in Matthew 22:45, Mark 12:37 and Luke 20:44. He excluded himself from this title as he was a son of David. How could David call him" my Lord" if he was his son, he argued. Jesus said (Luke 20:42-44): "How say they that Christ is David's son? And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool: David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?" Jesus must have given answer not recorded in the four canonical Gospels, but mentioned explicitly in the Gospel of Barnabas that the promise was made in Ishmael, not in Isaac. David's Lord was thus Muhammad [PBUH] whom he saw In spirit. No Prophet ever accomplished more than Muhammad [PBUH]. Even the work of all other Prophets together is still small compared with what Muhammad [PBUH] did within a short period of 23 years, and which remains unchanged until now. |
