� The Holy Bible, Old Testament, Isaiah 42:1-12, Gentiles denotes the Arabs.<br />

Kedar Dark-skinned, the second son of Ishmael (Gen 25:13). It is the name for the<br />

nomadic tribes of Arabs, the Bedouins generally (Isa 21:16; Isa 42:11; Isa 60:7; Jer 2:10;<br />

Eze 27:21), who dwelt in the north-west of Arabia. They lived in black hair-tents (Sol<br />

1:5). -The Illustrated Bible Dictionary.<br />

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (<strong>SAWS</strong>) is a descendent of Prophet Ishmael (AS), so God<br />

Prophecy in Odes of Solomon<br />

1 All the Lord's children will praise Him, <strong>and</strong> will collect the truth of <strong>His</strong> faith.2 And <strong>His</strong><br />

children shall be known to Him. Therefore, we will sing in <strong>His</strong> love: And 8 All those will<br />

be astonished that see me. For from another race am I: 9 For the Father of truth<br />

remembered me: He who possessed me from the beginning: 15 And light dawned from<br />

the Word that was beforetime in Him; 16 The Messiah is truly one; <strong>and</strong> He was known<br />

before the foundation of the world, 17 That He might save souls for ever by the truth of<br />

<strong>His</strong> name: a new song arises from those who love Him. Hallelujah.<br />

The Meaning of the Messiah by Sheikh Ahmed Deedat (RA)<br />

The word CHRIST is derived from the Hebrew word Messiah, Arabic-Masih. Root word<br />

m-a-s-a-h-a, meaning to rub, to massage, to anoint. Priests <strong>and</strong> kings were anointed when<br />

being consecrated to their offices. But in its translated, Grecian form "CHRIST", it seems<br />

unique:befitting Jesus only. The Christian has a knack of transmuting baser metals into<br />

shining gold. What he is wont to do is to translate names into his own language like<br />

"cephas" to Peter, "messiah" to Christ. How does he do that? Very easily MESSIAH in<br />

Hebrew means anointed. The Greek word for anointed is "christos". Just lop off the 'os'<br />

from christos <strong>and</strong> you are left with christ. Now change the little 'c' to a capital 'C', <strong>and</strong><br />

"hey, presto!" he has created a unique (?) name! Christos means ANOINTED, <strong>and</strong><br />

anointed means APPOINTED in its religious connotation. Jesus (pbuh) was appointed<br />

(anointed) at his baptism by John the Baptist, as God's Messenger. Every Prophet of God<br />

is so anointed or appointed. The Holy Bible is replete with the "anointed" ones. In the<br />

original Hebrew - made a "messiah". Let us keep to the English translation - "anointed."<br />

And this word Messiah has at many places been used in the Holy Bible for another<br />

purposes as well, for instance: I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar<br />

(Gen 31:13), If the priest that is anointed do sin (Lev 4:3), And Moses took the anointing<br />

oil, <strong>and</strong> anointed the tabernacle (Lev 8:10), <strong>and</strong> exalt the horn of his anointed ( 1Sam
