Apart from Politics this Topic is a Religion. "Iwa" and "Odu" are Yoruba words meaning "Character" and "Bonds"respectively. "Olodumare" and "Oduduwa", meaning " I am That I am" and "My Incarnate" also respectively are Yoruba words for "Lord" and "God"(Lord God). Let's all agree on these words first and their sources before we pursue the relevance of the Benin Kingdom. These are Yoruba words with sound meanings in Yoruba Dictionary before the Igbos started chipping in. Also remember that "Odu" and "Iwa" mean "Heaven and Earth". "Ooni" is occupying the Seat of "Oduduwa" in the same way as Pope Francis is occupying the Seats of Pope St. Peter in Rome.

if wah u say is true, Y is it that oduduwa is more reverenced in Edo traditions than Yoruba's. You will hear Edo names like Osakeoduwa, Okoduwa...etc but not d same with Yoruba names. I think d Edo chief is right.

Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah...were d most powerful prophets in the bible.Even when a dead man's body touched d bones of Elisha's, d dead man came back to life (2kings 13:29). Now to OP, if u don't understand d prophesies( words of d holy spirit of God) in d bible, stay out of it & don't misquote it. Isaiah's prophesies are about Jesus( Isaiah 61:1-2) which Jesus confirmed in Lk 4:17-21 when Jesus was given the scroll to read in the temple, he read from the prophesy of Isaiah. Enlighten me OP did Muhamed perform any miracle while he was alive? Just curious.

1 – INTRODUCTION
The idea that the Bible contains
prophecies about the coming of
Muhammad (peace be upon him), may
surprise many people. It isn’t difficult
to understand why, since the general
perception people have of
Muhammad is that of a man with no
connection to Biblical Prophets or
prophecies. However, taking a closer
look at Muhammad’s life, it becomes
clear that he upheld the basic tenets
that the Biblical Prophets came with,
and led millions to do the same.
Indeed it is because of the teachings of
Muhammad that billions of Muslims,
since his time and until today, have
revered the persons of Jesus, Moses
and Abraham (peace be upon them
all).
In this article, you will discover how
the Bible foretells the coming of an
Arabian prophet, specifically Prophet
Muhammad. Although there are
numerous prophecies about
Muhammad scattered throughout the
Bible, we are going to focus primarily
on the 42nd chapter of the Book of
Isaiah in the Old Testament. Please
note that all verses referenced from
the Bible have been taken from the
New International Version.
2 – WHAT IS ISAIAH 42 ABOUT?
The 42nd chapter of the Book of Isaiah
describes itself as a prophecy about
the future. Isaiah states that:
…the former things have taken
place, and new things I declare...
[Isaiah 42:9]
Isaiah starts the chapter by drawing
our attention to a very special person
that God will send. He describes this
person as:
…my servant, whom I uphold, my
chosen one in whom I delight...
[Isaiah 42:1]
At least three of the names of Prophet
Muhammad are mentioned -
“servant”, “chosen one” and “in whom
I delight”.
Prophet Muhammad is known as
God’s Servant, in Arabic “abd - ullah”.
“Chosen one” is “Mustafa” in Arabic.
This is another of the names of
Prophet Muhammad.
The one in whom God ‘delights in’
shows that this person is beloved to
God. ‘Habibullah’ in Arabic, which
means “Beloved of God”, also happens
to be one of Prophet Muhammad’s
names.
3 – THE LOCATION OF THIS SPECIAL
PERSON
Isaiah also reveals the location of this
special person. He states:
Let the wilderness and its towns
raise their voices; let the
settlements where Kedar lives
rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing
for joy; let them shout from the
mountaintops. [Isaiah 42:11]
The two key words used are ‘Kedar’
and ‘Sela’ which together pinpoint an
exact location for this special person.
Out of all the places on earth that
Isaiah mentioned, he chose to
highlight Kedar and Sela’s location so
we should pay special attention.
Who is Kedar, and where did he settle?
The Old Testament tells us that Kedar
was one of the sons of Ishmael:
These are the names of the sons of
Ishmael, listed in the order of their
birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of
Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam
[Genesis 25:13]
Ishmael is one of the sons of the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh). The Old
Testament tells us that Ishmael dwelt
in a place called Paran:
While he (Ishmael) was living in the
Desert of Paran, his mother got a
wife for him from Egypt. [Genesis
21:21]
Many Christian interpreters of the
Bible hold that Paran is in Arabia.
From Clarke’s Commentary on the
Bible:
He dwelt in the wilderness of Paran
– This is generally allowed to have
been a part of the desert belonging
to Arabia Petraea, in the vicinity of
Mount Sinai; and this seems to be
its uniform meaning in the sacred
writings.
Moreover Strong’s Bible Dictionary
also tells us:
H6290 pâ’rân From H6286;
ornamental; Paran, a desert of
Arabia: – Paran.
We can also place the location of the
descendants of Ishmael, known as
Ishmaelites, to Arabia. According to
Harper’s Bible Dictionary [1] the term
‘Ishmaelites’ is used synonymously
with the term ‘Midianites’. We can see
this from the story of Joseph in
Genesis:
“Meanwhile, the Midianites sold
Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, one of
Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of
the guard.” [Genesis 37:36]
“Now Joseph had been taken down
to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who
was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the
captain of the guard, bought him
from the Ishmaelites who had
taken him there.” [Genesis 39:1]
So these two groups, the Midianites
and Ishmaelites, are used
interchangeably. We know that
geographically, Biblical Midian is
located in modern day Western Saudi
Arabia, compare a typical Bible map
with a modern day map:
Kedar and his own sons are also
specifically linked to Arabia:
“The oracle about Arabia. In the
thickets of Arabia you must spend
the night, O caravans of Dedanites.
… all the splendor of Kedar will
terminate” [Isaiah 21:13-16]
Arabia and all the princes of Kedar
were your favored dealers in
lambs, rams, and goats; in these
they did business with you. [Ezekiel
27:21]
The Old Testament scholar Charles
Foster says about Kedar:
“Namely, of the land of Kedar;
which every reader conversant with
Arabian geography will recognise
as a most accurate delineation of
the district of Hedjaz [Western
Saudi Arabia], including its famous
cities of Makkah and Madina.” [2]
In summary we have established that
Ishmael and his descendants,
specifically Kedar, settled in modern
day Saudi Arabia.
Whilst it’s true that Saudi Arabia
represents a wide geographic region,
the use of the word ‘Sela’ pinpoints an
exact location. The place being spoken
of is actually the city of Madinah
because ‘Sela’ is the name of a famous
mountain in Madinah. Madinah was
the city of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
It is worth mentioning that Prophet
Muhammad’s lineage can also be
traced back to Prophet Abraham
(peace be upon them all). This is
through Kedar:
4 – THE JEWISH TRIBES OF MADINAH
It’s important to note that historically
we know there was a presence of
various Jewish tribes in Madinah
before the advent of Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh). Both Jewish
Historians and Islamic history records
this fact. The American historian Salo
Baron, the most noted historian of the
Jews of his generation, recorded the
following in his book “Social and
Religious History of the Jews”:
Judaic presence and influence
throughout the region burgeoned
steadily throughout the first few
centuries of the Common Era. The
process is substantiated by solidly
sympathetic references to Jews and
Judaism in pre-Islamic Arabic
literature. By the sixth century, it is
clear that Jewish tribes dominated
Yathrib (Medina)… [3]
The question then arises, why were
there numerous Jewish tribes within
Madinah? The answer is that the
learned Jews were aware of this
prophecy in Isaiah and were anxiously
awaiting the coming of a new prophet.
Islamic history records the fact that
whenever a dispute arose between the
Jews and Arabs in Madinah, the Jews
used to taunt their pagan Arab
neighbours, by saying that:
“when our prophet arrives we shall
obliterate you…”. [4]
The Qur’an also affirms this. God says:
“Is it not a sign to them that the
learned men of the Children of
Israel knew it (as true)?” [Chapter
26, verse 197]
5 – WHAT THIS SPECIAL PERSON WILL
BRING
Isaiah informs us that this special
person will bring something new.
Mankind is told that we will:
Sing to the Lord a new song, his
praise from the ends of the earth…
[Isaiah 42:10]
The statement “a new song” means a
new law, a new way of worship. This is
exactly what Islam represents. The
emphasis on the new song here is
singing the praise of God all over the
earth. The Qur’an opens with the
statement “Praise be to God, Lord of
the worlds” and is recited by Muslims
all over the world during prayers every
day.
Some Christians believe that Isaiah is a
prophecy about Jesus. When we
analyse the life of Jesus as portrayed
in the New Testament, we will see that
this cannot be the case. The new song
cannot refer to Jesus, because
he obeyed and followed the Law of
Moses throughout his life. Jesus didn’t
sing a new song; he sang the same
song of Moses, the Torah. In the
Gospel of Matthew, Jesus said:
For truly I tell you, until heaven
and earth disappear, not the
smallest letter, not the least stroke
of a pen, will by any means
disappear from the Law until
everything is accomplished.
Therefore anyone who sets aside
one of the least of these
commands and teaches others
accordingly will be called least in
the kingdom of heaven, but
whoever practices and teaches
these commands will be called
great in the kingdom of heaven.
[Matthew 5:18-19]
Moreover the disciples of Jesus also
followed the Law of Moses, even after
Jesus departed.
6 – WHO HE WILL BE SENT TO
Isaiah emphasises the universal
mission of the coming person by
mentioning that he will be made a:
...covenant for the people and a
light for the Gentiles [Isaiah 42:6]
Gentiles means non Jews. The Qur’an
confirms that Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) was sent to the
whole of mankind, Jews and Gentiles
alike. In the Qur’an God tells us:
We have sent you [O Prophet] as a
bearer of glad tidings and a warner
for the whole of mankind, but most
people have no knowledge.
[Chapter 34, verse 28]
The verse in Isaiah cannot apply to
Jesus because in the Gospel of
Matthew Jesus said:
“I was sent only to the lost sheep of
Israel.” [Matthew 15:24]
Isaiah further states that God will:
…lead the blind by ways they have
not known, along unfamiliar paths I
will guide them... [Isaiah 42:16]
The pagan Arabs at the time of
Prophet Muhammad fit this
description perfectly because they had
not been sent a messenger prior to
Muhammad. The Qur’an bears witness
to this, God states that Muhammad
was sent to:
... warn a people to whom no
warner has come before... [Chapter
32, verse 3]
The verse in Isaiah cannot apply to
Jesus because his people, the
Israelites, had already received the
Torah and a multitude of Prophets
from God. Here are just some of the
Prophets that the Israelites were sent,
up to and including Jesus:
Moses
Aaron
Joshua
Samuel
Nathan
David
Solomon
Micaiah
Hoshea
Amos
Micah
Elijah
Elisha
Jonah
Isaiah
Joel
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Jeremiah
Ezekiel
Daniel
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi
Jesus
Isaiah emphasises that this special
person will be sent to:
...those who trust in idols, who say
to images, ‘You are our gods,’...
[Isaiah 42:17]
The whole of Arabia at the start of
Muhammad’s Prophethood consisted
of idol worshippers.
Again, this cannot be a reference to
Jesus because his people, the
Israelites, were monotheists and not
idol worshippers.
Moreover, Jesus explicitly told his
disciples to stay away from the idol
worshipping Gentiles, the exact
opposite of what Isaiah prophesied.
The Gospel of Matthew tells us that:
These twelve Jesus sent out with
the following instructions: “Do not
go among the Gentiles…” [Matthew
10:5]
7 – A WARRIOR WHO WILL FIGHT GOD’S
ENEMIES
Isaiah states that this special person
will be a warrior and will:
...go forth as a mighty man, he
shall stir up jealousy like a man of
war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall
prevail against his enemies. [Isaiah
42:13]
Throughout history God has dealt
sternly with those who are sent
guidance and persist in disbelief.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) had to engage in many battles
with the idol worshipping enemies of
God and ultimately prevailed against
them.
By comparison, Jesus did not triumph
over his enemies, according to
Christians he was crucified by them.
Moreover Jesus wasn’t interested in
fighting, he was not a man of war, he
was a pacifist according to the New
Testament. He said such things as:
“for all who draw the sword will die
by the sword.” [Matthew 26:52]
And:
“My kingdom is not of this world: if
my kingdom were of this world,
then would my servants
fight…” [John 18:36].
8 – WHAT HE WILL ACHIEVE
Isaiah gives us a list of momentous
achievements for this special person.
Chief of these is that the idol
worshippers:
...will be turned back in utter
shame... [Isaiah 42:17]
Not only did Prophet Muhammad
conquer Mecca, the Pagan capital of
Arabia, but by the end of his life, in
just 23 short years of Prophethood,
Arabia had shunned idol worship and
now worshipped the One true God of
Abraham.
This cannot apply to Jesus as it was
Christians themselves who were
humiliated (and “greatly ashamed”) for
hundreds of years after Jesus. They
were persecuted at the hands of the
Roman Empire who were idol
worshippers. They executed some of
the followers of Jesus such as Peter
and Paul. Christians were tortured and
even fed to lions.
9 – A WARNING FROM GOD
Finally, Isaiah closes with an
admonishment:
“Hear, you deaf; look, you blind,
and see…
You have seen many things, but
you pay no attention; your ears are
open, but you do not listen…
Which of you will listen to this or
pay close attention in time to
come?” [Isaiah 42:18-23]
It seems clear that the “deaf and blind”
Isaiah is talking about in this verse are
those who reject Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him. Who among you
will heed God by acknowledging him,
who will “listen” and “pay close
attention in time to come”?

Solomon was never a prophet but d richest and wisest king that ever lived and JESUS is the son of the Most High God.
