Sura 2:125 "Prostrate themselvestherein" - the Temple site in Jerusalem (on Mt. Moriah - 2 Chronicles3 v 1 - built by Solomon bin David - Sura 27:16).
People can NOTprostrate themselves inside the Kaba in Mecca. It isa black rock not a Temple or House of God and a rock is solid. It isimpossible to prostrate oneself inside it. So this statement canNOT possiblyrefer to Mecca. It refers to Mt. Moriah in Jeru-salem (the City of Peace).
Sura 2:126 And remember Abraham(who was a Hebrew - NOT Jewish) said: "My Lord, make this a City (Jeru) of Peace(salem) - Jeru-salem means "City of Peace".
Sura 2:125 The House (of God) is the Station of Abraham where heoffered Isaac insacrifice (Mt. Moriah - Genesis 22 v 2) in the "City of Peace" -"Jerusalem".
Sura 2:144 Turn then thy face in the direction of the Holy Temple:wherever ye are turn your faces in that direction. The people of theBook (Bible) know well that that is the Truth from their Lord. Ofcourse they know to turn their faces to Mt. Moriah in Jerusalembecause the Book - Bible tells them to do so - that is why allchurches face Jerusalem - read Genesis 22 v 2-3, 14; 2 Chronicles 3 v1 & 6 v 20-21; 1 Kings 6 v 1-2, 11-14 and 1 kings 8 v 29-30 and Isaiah 56v 7.
There is no reference in the Holy Koran to the city of Mecca by namenor by implication. ALL references, in the Holy Koran, to the City of Peace referto Jerusalem NOTto Mecca. The word Mecca does not mean the City of Peace, theword Jerusalem DOES mean City of Peace in Hebrew.
Ishmael's mother, who was called Hagar, was an Egyptian and was thehand-maiden (servant) of Sarah who was Abraham's first and legitimatewife.
The well of Beer-lahai-roi, where Hagar went whilst pregnant withIshmael when she ran away the first time, is between Kadesh-Barneaand Bered (South of Beersheba) on the route to Egypt, her home-land.
Sarah sent Hagar away with Ishmael and she naturally went towardsEgypt her home-land NOT to Mecca. They went to Beer-sheba in Paran on the edge ofthe Negev desert, as is stated by God in the Book of Genesis that Godgave to Moses.
On both occasions when Hagar left Abraham she went towards Egypt her home-land, which is quite a natural thing to do.
Hagar found Ishmael an Egyptianwife. They did not go to or live in Mecca.Mecca is more than 1000 miles from Mt. Moriah across desert and muchtoo far away for Ishmael to hear of Abraham's death and be able toreturn in time to assist Isaac with Abraham's burial (Genesis 25 v9).
The story about Mecca was made up by the Meccans to advertise andpromote Mecca (in their advertisingbrochure - the Hadith)and is a complete fabrication. It has NOTHING to do with the HolyKoran. The Hadith contradicts God's Koran.
If people read theBible they would know that they have tomake the Pilgrimage (Haj) to Jerusalem not to Mecca and the Meccanswould lose all the money they make from the Pilgrims.
The Meccans then had to discredit the Bible, to stop people fromreading it and finding out the Truth, so they (Khadijah's cousinWaraquah according to the Vatican's archives) changed the name Isaacfor the name Ishmael in Sura 2:125 and 2:127 and claim that the kingJames Bible is not the True Bible and that the True Bible no longer exists, so no-one can read it. All of which is aLIE andevil Meccanpropaganda. Nowpeople read the Hadith and its version of the Koran, instead ofreading the Koran itself.
The Hadith has made it impossible for Moslems tounderstand the Koran's true meaning and to read the Bible and fulfillGod's Covenantas God commands them to do in the Koran - Suras 16:91 and 5:8 andthat is exactly what the Meccans wanted.
Mecca was an evil place when Mohammed Mustafa was born and theMeccans drove him and the TRUEKORAN out because it was about Jerusalemand would have ruined their pilgrimage-business to their black rockand idol-worship.
After Mohammed's death the Meccans changed the Koran andbetrayed him andGod.
Mecca has ABSOLUTELYNOTHING to do with Abraham; Ishmael; Isaacor God.
God tells people repeatedly in the Koran to read the Bible e.g. Sura6:154-157). The Meccans then claim that the Almighty God has allowedthe Book, thatHe commandspeople to read, to have been lost forever. That is not logical and is aninsult toGod.
Of course the TrueBible still exists as confirmed by GodHimself in His Holy Koran (Sura32:23) and the most accurate translationof The Bible in print is still the Authorised king James Bible in theold English, as confirmed by the "Dead Sea Scroll" of the Book ofIsaiah (referred to in Sura 52:2-3) which in no way differs from theBook of Isaiah in the king James Bible.
Therefore the moslems are calling God a liar, which is a satanicthing to do. Satan called God a liar in the Garden of Eden and Godcondemned Adam and Eve for believing Satan's lies. These satanic liesare now being continued by the moslems when they contradict God bysaying that the True Bible no longer exists, after God has told us inHis Holy Koran - Sura 32:23 that:-
"We did indeed aforetime give the Book (Torah) to Moses: be thenNOT INDOUBT of its(The Torah)reaching (THEE - the readers of this Koran- moslems): and We made it a Guide to theChildren of Israel."
