Prophet Jesus predicted not a stone of J Temple would remain.on top of another.

Al Baqara verse 40 of The Quran addresses Bnei Israel and reminds them to obey their covenant. In reality, The Quran tells Jews to be Jews. So, even if I read and like your book, I have to be a Jew.

The Ayah in question is conditional on the Israelites (Jews) fulfilling their contract with God which did not happen at the time preceding the Prophet, nor during the time he was in their presence nor, seemingly, after his time. The Hebrew Bible itself (references available on request) itself confirms the breaking of the covenant between the Israelites and God. So, in the era since, anyone not following the revelation of the Qur'an will have to explain to God why they chose not to in the hereafter. If any person can show how they have fulfilled the covenant with God then, presumably, they will be safe. It would, however, be far safer to attempt this with the benefit of the most recent of revelations given the shortcomings detailed in the prior art.

@@stephenconnolly1830 The verse says for Jewish people to fulfill their covenant with HaShem. Full stop. I read it. The context is reminding Jews to follow Jewish law and to set a better example for the rest of Bnei Noah, including Muslims. I’m not disrespecting The Quran; it’s saying that Jews should be Jews and don’t need to convert to Islam but rather should consider The Quran.

(يا بني إسرائيل اذكروا نعمتي التي أنعمت عليكم وأوفوا بعهدي أوف بعهدكم وإياي فارهبون) [البقرة: 40، 41] This verse is very clear telling the Israelites to keep God's covenant so God keeps his promise with them and not what you say.

This is 100% true. There is another verse that criticize the Jews that don't keep Shabbat and another that criticizes them for coming to Muhammad PBUH for judgment rather than going to Torah. The Muslims who want to force Jews to convert are simply wrong. The Quran also confirms that Prophet Moses PBUH received the Torah "face to face" and that the Law of God SWT in the Torah is Eternal. If Jews were to convert to Islam then they would have done so at the time the Prophet PBUH ruled over the city, but the Jews were allowed to stay as Jews and keep their covenant with God SWT. There were Jews who were executed during the time of the Prophet PBUH but they were judged according to the Torah and given the option to convert to escape execution.

@@jameslawrence4199 - you are wrong because you have not read the various commentaries of the Qur'an on this matter and are making the same fallacy of literalistic interpretation extremists make. Jews broke their treaty with God so He gave it to the Muslims following the Qur'an faithfully. Jews will have to explain why they are not following the new dispensation - the Qur'an.

Novak has trouble pronouncing Hebrew. Makes him suspect as a real scholar.

He was one of my rabbis years ago. He was the head of Hebrew studies at UVa After that. He is fluent in seven languages. He pronounces Hebrew with an American accent not Israeli. What are your qualifications compared to his?
