The Covenant Of The Ark
 
The Forms of Treason and Treachery

 
 
 
 

"It is interesting to note that before Muhammad , the Jews in Arabia were happy to watch their cousins live in squalor following their pagan ways during the days of Jahiliyya.  They did nothing to bring the message to them."

   They were given a Law that was only for the Children of Israel and were not raised up to be a missionary community for the first part of their Covenant, but were to be ~ themselves ~ the attraction and a light, which they were ~ until the throne of Solomon was established as an empire in the Promised Land and the priests became ambitious and envious of what was ultimately to come.  They gave good counsel when asked, like we're supposed to do, but the people were not allowed to read the Scripture themselves ~ the Levites read it to them and the people were given to memorize certain portions of it for recitation.

   And they weren't allowed to disclose it to goyim unless and until an individual would approach to join himself and perhaps his household to the community of Israel, which was an uphill struggle and required a sponsor.  It was only after someone had made that struggle, demonstrating his personal commitment to keep the Law, that he began to hear more about it ~ from the rabbis and cantors, reading the Scripture maintained by the scribes of the Levites.  And their descendants in the third or fifth generation would hear it from their grandmothers from whom they derived their Israeli bloodlines.

   This changed with Jesus 'alaihi as-salaam, who called them to the fulfillment of their Covenant, the second part of it, which was to announce to the gentile nations, when their Messiah came, that the Messenger of the Covenant was coming next ~ which was the Good News Jesus delivered with the seventy-two disciples he sent out to the nations, who thereafter awaited the muslims and welcomed them when they arrived, testifying that Jesus had delivered the Good News to them.  But until Jesus the Messiah came, they were not allowed to do much more than make vague references that God would do for all humanity what He had done for the Children of Israel, that they were a small sample of what would come later, with Shiloh, "to whom the nations gather" according to Jacob 'alaihi as-salaam at Genesis 49:10.

   Israel's later treason against God and treachery against all humanity thus posed Israel against the nations, which of course is seen by Israelis as all the nations gathered against Israel ~ actually against Israel's unlawful ambitions to rule over the nations by guile and deception, but that's beside the point for most Israelis, it's just "business as usual."

   'Umar radi ALLAHU anhu made reference to a similar thing, saying "In the beginning people would come and would learn reliance (Imaan, i.e., reliance on ALLAH and on His Messenger and on the faithful) and then they would be given The Book; but today people come and are given The Book and they do not learn reliance."  This continues today ~ newcomers have a lot of confidence in The Book, but do not learn first to trust in ALLAH's Guidance of their new brothers ~ brotherhood does not develop properly, but only superficially, and it crumbles as soon as one has some different "understanding" of The Book than another.

   But before their Messiah came, the Children of Israel were completely "in-house" ~ no outreach at all, consistent with the Law ~ and since they rejected their Messiah, they stayed that way for the most part, which is one of the roots of the animosity they've received over the centuries.  In fact, until Jesus came, eating was ~ except on ritual feast days ~ strictly a family affair ~ "breaking bread" with someone, or "sharing salt," usually indicated an intention to join households through marriage, it was a sign of exceptional closeness.  Thus when Jesus said "Do this in remembrance of me" he was talking about eating together with people not in your own house and family ~ it was a scandalous innovation at the time.

   However, you have the next part confused:

 

  But at the same time they watched carefully to make sure that none from the descendants of Ishmael 'alaihi as-salaam would be blessed with that message.  When God blessed Muhammad, the Prophetwith that message, despite their efforts, rather than embracing the message that they knew was true, they made themselves enemies of the Prophet.

 
   Not so.  They arrived in Tema (Madinah) generations before Rasulullah sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam came, and taunted the Arab tribes, saying that a new prophet would be coming there and they would join him and prevail over the Arabs, who discriminated against them in business and social life in their typically Semitic fashion that persists today.  They knew from Scripture that the Messenger of the Covenant ~ who they still call "Messiah" ~ would migrate from Kedar (Makkah) to Tema (Madinah) and were waiting for him, because they knew that he was the Messenger that their predecessors had conflated with their Messiah to make Jesus into the fulfillment of both sets of prophecy ~ which of course Jesus refused.

   They expected, rightly, that Rasulullah would welcome them, since their original Covenant promised to join and support him, and the result would have been ~ and in many cases was ~ that their knowledge of previous Scripture ~ and thousands of years of living within the Covenant community created by the social contract of the Law ~ would make them exceptionally qualified for positions of responsibility and authority in the Ummah.  And indeed they were among the foremost and have always been well-represented in the administrations established by muslims, as was the case in Muslim Spain and as is the case today in some places.  This was their final obligation and the fruit of their Covenant, which is what was in the Ark of the Covenant ~ Keep the Law, Respond to the Call of the Messiah to deliver the Good News, and Join the Messenger of the Covenant as ministerial servants to all humanity in the Kingdom.

   It was when Rasulullah began to notice the ambitious hypocrisy of their leaders, and more particularly when the Ayat came down changing the Qibla from Jerusalem to Makkah (the "New Jerusalem" the Jews were expecting), and it became clear that the Qur'an was to abrogate the Torah and set it aside as prophesied, liberating the Children from their exclusive and more restrictive Law, and that thus the Jews could no longer manipulate the muslims by citing Torah and Isra'iliyyah tradition, that they began to show their alienation.

   But they most certainly knew who he was, just as they most certainly knew who Jesus was; and they most certainly knew where to wait for him; and they most certainly were happy to be among the first to join him, some for the sake of the power they imagined they would inherit with him, and for full equality in the final authority of the House of Abraham that constitutes the fulfillment of "... and in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed."

 
   Their jealousy and envy of God blessing whomsoever He pleases with His message is something that even to this day they won't accept.  The feud is rightly placed in their court as being the cause and the maintainers today of an enduring battle against Islam.  Muslims on the other hand do not have that feud mentality.  Nothing in our Qur'an and even the legitimate scriptures that Jews possess suggest such.  But as you mentioned it was contrived later on for very ignoble reasons.
   It was envy and covetousness from the beginning.  It's in the language ~ the Hebrew word "hemed" means "covet" ~ it's in the Decalogue with that meaning.  The identical Arabic word "hamad" means "commend" and is the root from which the name Muhammad comes.  So "Muhammad" in Hebrew means "coveted."  He was the Messenger of the Covenant, the Endless Covenant for all humanity, that would set aside the Torah and make faith supreme ~ which it did, over the entirety of the Promised Land and for a thousand miles in all directions except Pauline Europe ~ and they desperately wanted him to come in Israel rather than in Isma'il.

   So they denied Jesus, who kept mentioning "the Son of Man" which is always a reference to a descendant of Ishmael, whereas the Children of Israel are always referred to as "the sons of God" ~ another way of expressing their envious differentiation between "the son of the free woman" (Sarah) and "the son of the slave" (Hagar) that Paul harped on constantly ~ and Jesus kept saying that the Kingdom would be taken from the Children of Israel and given to those who would bear its fruits ~ which the Children of Israel never did ~ and so on.

   And when Muhammad came, they were waiting, and they began to carry out their betrayal when it became clear to them that he was not going to give them predominance, starting the sedition that eventually became the modern shi'ah and some other parties, just as they started the sedition that became Pauline Christianity.  And today they're getting ready to raise a false "Messiah" who the Paulines will think is Jesus, and they're in America ~ from the financing of the Mayflower to the loans to Ysabella and the financing of the foundation of the colonies and Wall Street ~ to do it.

   Gotta give'em credit for thinking in the long term.

 
And it's all laid out in their Scripture, as evidence against them, as Scripture itself says at Deuteronomy 31:16-24.  Jeremiah 8:8 tells how it was done, long before the period that modern archeology considers.
