Coveting what belonged to others, Muhammad gave us another glimpse into his
soul. Tabari VII:26 "When the Prophet came to Yathrib he saw the Jews
fasting on Ashura day. He questioned them, and they told him that it was
the
day upon which God drowned Pharaoh and saved Moses from the Egyptians. He
said, 'We have a better right to Moses than you do.' He fasted and ordered
his fellow Muslims to fast with him. When the fast of Ramadhan was
prescribed, he made Ashura optional."
The Bible's Messianic message - past, present, and future - revolves
around
the Seven Festivals of Yahweh. When the pretend Messiah asked the Jews why
they were fasting, Muhammad proved he was a phony. What's more, he got it
wrong. There is only one fast on the Jewish religious calendar, Yom Kippur
-
known as the Day of Atonement. But it's celebrated in the fall, and it has
nothing to do with Pharaoh. The spring Feast of Passover commemorates
freedom from Egyptian bondage. And it took the Jews more like six days,
not
six months, to elude his army. (As an interesting aside, in 1978 Ron Wyatt
discovered Pharaoh's graveyard in the Gulf of Aqaba branch of the Red Sea
-
proving once again that the Bible's chronology was accurate.)
