 | | This he devised, relying chiefly on the prophet Isaiah, who, 600 years before predicted that a temple must be builded in Egypt by a Jew to the supreme God. | | | We are surprised that a temple should be pleasing to God, settled in an impure place, and one full of sacred animals. | | | But since thou sayest that Isaiah the prophet so long ago foretold it, we grant thee leave, if, according to the Law we may not seem to have offended against God. |

| | The Prophet Mohammed, a Jewish pseudo-Messiah |
| | The Prophet Muhammad, one of the most influential religious and military leaders in history, was born in Mecca around 570 CE. | | | Around 610 CE, he had a vision in the cave in which he heard the voice of a majestic being, later identified as the angel Gabriel, say to him, "You are the Messenger of God." Thus began a lifetime of religious revelations, which he and others collected as the Qur'an, or Koran. | | | Muhammad regarded himself as the last prophet of the Judaic-Christian tradition, and he adopted aspects of these older religions' theologies while introducing new doctrines. |

| | To the idea that the Deuterocanonical books were not written by true prophets, is actually somewhat irrelevant as nowhere does Scripture itself say that in order to be Scripture, it must be written by a prophet. | | | It doesnÂ’t say Scripture is Scripture only if written by a prophet. | | | He gives a citation of Deuteronomy 18:18, which only says that one can find out who a prophet is, if what they predict comes true. |
