Ikiwa wengi wa watu wa zama za Yesu (AS) walidai kwamba yeye ndiye Masihi aliyetarajiwa, kama walivyodai jambo hilo hilo kabla yake kumhusu Yahya Mbatizaji, je, Yesu (AS) mwenyewe alidai au hata aliwaambia wanafunzi wake kwamba yeye ndiye? Je, alitimiza unabii kuhusu Masihi aliyetarajiwa?

If many of the contemporaries of Jesus (PBUH) claimed that, he is the expected messiah, as they claimed the same before about John the Baptist, did Jesus himself (PBUH) claim or even tell his disciples that he is. Did he (PBUH) fulfill the prophecies about the expected messiah?

Mara moja aliwauliza wanafunzi wake kuhusu watu wanavyosema juu yake, kisha akawauliza, "Lakini ninyi mnasema mimi ni nani?" Petro akamjibu, "Wewe ndiwe Kristo." Naye akawakataza kabisa wasimwambie mtu yeyote juu yake. Akaanza kuwafundisha kwamba Mwana wa Adamu lazima ateseke sana, akataliwe na wazee, na wakuu wa makuhani, na waandishi, na auawe. (Marko 8:29-31). Alikataza kwa nguvu wasiseme hivyo juu yake, na akawaambia kwamba atakabiliwa na njama na mauaji. Hakuna shaka kwamba hili halikuwa lile walilotarajia kutoka kwa "Masihi mshindi". Kwa maneno mengine, aliwaeleza kwamba yeye si Masihi mshindi waliyekuwa wakimngoja; ambaye walikuwa na hakika kwamba angeleta ushindi, ushindi na uvumilivu, si kuteseka kwa maumivu na kifo.

Once he asked his disciples about what the people say about him, then he asked them "And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ”. And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him. And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed." (Mark: 8/29-31). He strongly forbade them to say that about him, and he told them that he would be subject to conspiracy and murder. There is no doubt that, this was not what they expected from the "victorious messiah". In other words, he explained to them that he was not the victorious messiah who they were waiting for; whom they were sure would bring victory, triumph and perseverance, not to suffer pain and death.

Luka anathibitisha, "Petro akajibu, 'Kristo wa Mungu'. Naye akawakemea sana, akawaamuru wasimwambie mtu yeyote neno hili." (Luka 9:20-21). Kwa kufanya hivyo, Yesu (SWT) aliwakataza wanafunzi wasimpe jina (Masihi aliyetarajiwa). Haikuwa kwa sababu aliwaogopa Wayahudi, kwa kuwa alikuwa ameshawaambia kwamba njama hiyo ingetokea. Kwa hiyo, kama yeye alikuwa "Masihi aliyetarajiwa", kukataa jina hilo kusingekuwa na maana. Aliwakataza kwa sababu waliyoyasema hayakuwa ukweli.

Luke confirms, "Peter answered, “The Christ of God”. And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one". (Luke: 9/20-21). By doing so, Jesus (PBUH) forbade the disciples to attach the title (expected messiah) to him. It was not because he was afraid of the Jews, since he had informed them that that conspiracy would happen. Therefore, it was meaningless, if he was the "expected messiah", to deny it. He forbade them because what they said was not the truth.

Petro, kiongozi wa mitume, alikataa kukubali kwamba Yesu ﷺ... Wait, I must follow the rules: prophets keep names in usual Swahili form, and ﷺ is only after the Prophet Muhammad, not after Jesus. The original writes "(PBUH)" after Jesus, which is a written-out honorific; rule says write ﷺ only after the Prophet Muhammad, and "Other honorifics written in words stay words in Swahili." So the "(PBUH)" should be rendered as words, e.g. "(Amani iwe juu yake)". Translation: Petro, kiongozi wa mitume, alikataa kukubali kwamba Yesu (Amani iwe juu yake) ndiye mtu aliyekuwa chini ya maumivu na kifo, na si "mfalme mshindi aliyetarajiwa". Kisha akamlaumu Yesu (Amani iwe juu yake) kwa kutangaza habari kama hizo kuhusu nafsi yake.

Peter, the head of the apostles, refused to accept that Jesus (PBUH) was the man who was subject to pain and death and not the "expected victorious king", he went on to blame Jesus (PBUH) for announcing such news about himself.

Hebu tuone Mathayo alisema nini kuhusu tukio hilo:

Let us see what Matthew said regarding that scene:

Tangu wakati huo Yesu alianza kuwaonyesha wanafunzi wake kwamba lazima aende Yerusalemu, na ateseke mambo mengi kwa mikono ya wazee, makuhani wakuu na waandishi, auawe, na siku ya tatu afufuke. Petro akamchukua kando, akaanza kumkemea, akisema, "Mungu apishe mbali, Bwana; jambo hili halitakupata kamwe."

"From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. And Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, “far be it from you, Lord: this shall never happen to you”.

Yesu alimjibu kwa uzito:

Jesus answered him seriously:

Lakini yeye akageuka, akamwambia Petro, "Nyuma yangu, Shetani:

“But he turned, and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan:

Wewe ni kikwazo kwangu. Kwa maana hufikirii mambo ya Mungu, bali mambo ya wanadamu.” (Mathayo 16:21-23).

you are a hindrance to me. for you are not sitting your mind on the things of God , but on the things of man.” (Matthew: 16/21-23).

Petro alishtuka, na wanafunzi wengine pia walishtuka, kwa kuwa walimsikia akisema: "Nami nikiinuliwa kutoka duniani, nitawavuta watu wote kwangu." Alisema hivi kuonyesha ni kifo cha aina gani atakachokufa.” (Yohana: 12/32-33).

Peter was shocked and so were the rest of the disciples, for, they heard him say:- “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself”. He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.” (John: 12/32-33).

Kisha wakapinga wazo hili kuhusu Masihi aliyeteseka, wakauliza kama Yesu (PBUH) alikuwa akizungumza kuhusu nafsi yake mwenyewe.

Then they expressed their objection to this idea about the suffering messiah, and they asked whether Jesus (PBUH) was talking about himself.

Basi umati ukamjibu, “sisi tumesikia katika sheria kwamba Kristo anadumu milele. Inakuwaje wewe useme kwamba Mwana wa Adamu lazima ainuliwe? Huyu Mwana wa Adamu ni nani?” (Yohana 12:34), walistushwa kusikia ukweli kutoka kwa Yesu; ukweli ambao uliharibu dhana yao ya uwongo kwamba yeye ni Masihi mkuu mshindi.

"So the crowd answered him, “we have heard from the law that the Christ remains for ever. How can you say that The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?" (John: 12/34), they were shocked to hear the truth from Jesus (PBUH); the truth that destroyed their chimera that he is the great victorious messiah.

Kasisi Al-Khudary anakubaliana nasi kwamba Yesu (PBUH) hakuwa "Masihi mshindi" aliyekuwa akingojewa na Wayahudi, bali alikuwa Masihi wa kiroho. Kisha alitutahadharisha kuhusu jambo muhimu sana: kwamba Yesu daima alijitahidi asijionyeshe kwa watu kuwa ni Masihi, na hiyo ndiyo sababu, pale alipoona mianya yoyote ambayo watu wangeweza kumwona kama Masihi, alikuwa akiifunga.1

Priest Al-Khudary agrees with us that Jesus (PBUH) was not the "victorious messiah" awaited for by the Jews but he was the spiritual messiah. Then he alerted to us, "to a very important fact that Jesus (PBUH) had always tried not to show himself as the messiah to the people, it was the reason why when he saw any gaps from which the people would see him as a messiah, he would close them".1

Baba Matta Al-Meskeen, msomi wa Misri, anasema:- "wanafunzi walikusanya ushahidi wakati wa uhai wa Yesu (PBUH) ambao ulitosha kuwathibitishia kwamba yeye ni masihi; hata hivyo, kila walipojaribu kuthibitisha jambo hili, Yesu (PBUH) aliwakataza… Wasomi walichoka kwa sababu Yesu (PBUH) alificha mara kwa mara utambulisho wake kama masihi, na ilibidi waseme lolote waliloweza kumhusu." 2 Yesu (PBUH), mara kwa mara, aliendelea kukanusha kwamba yeye ni masihi. "Basi watu hao walipoona ishara aliyoifanya, walisema, 'Hakika huyu ndiye nabii yule ajaye ulimwenguni.' Yesu alipojua kwamba walikuwa karibu kuja kumchukua kwa nguvu ili wamfanye mfalme, alijiondoa tena mlimani peke yake." (Yohana: 6/14-15). Kwa nini alitoroka? Hakika hakuwa "mfalme aliyetarajiwa", lakini walisisitiza kumfanya hivyo kwa sababu ya miujiza yake, na kwa sababu ya matumaini na shauku iliyokuwa ndani yao, kwamba atawaokoa kutoka katika dhuluma na ukatili wa Warumi.

Father Matta Al-Meskeen, an Egyptian scholar, says:- “the disciples had collected evidence during the life of Jesus (PBUH) that was enough to confirm to them that he was the messiah; however, every time they tried to proof this implication, Jesus (PBUH) forbade them… The scholars were exhausted that Jesus (PBUH) constantly hid his identity as the messiah, and they had to say whatever they could about him". 2 Jesus (PBUH), from time to time, kept denying that he is the messiah. “When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world. Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself." (John: 6/14-15). Why did he escape? Indeed, he was not the "expected king", but they insisted on making him so because of his miracles, and because of the hope and longing within themselves, that he will save them from the injustice and cruelty of the Romans.

Kasisi Al-Khodary alisema: "kundi la wenye bidii lilikuwa likimsubiri masihi wa kisiasa. Walipomwona Yesu, aliyekuwa akihubiri ufalme wa Mungu ulio karibu, walidhani kwamba kweli yeye ndiye masihi huyo wa kisiasa, kwa hiyo walitaka kumfanya mfalme wao na kiongozi wao."

Priest Al-Khodary said: "the enthusiast group was waiting for the political messiah. When they saw Jesus, who was preaching the near kingdom of God, they thought that he was truly that political messiah, for that they wanted to make him their king and leader.

Akifikiri kwamba angeweza kuwakusanya na kuwasaidia, lakini Yesu alikuwa akiwaacha peke yao na kuelekea milimani, kwa sababu ufalme wake si wa dunia hii, na hahitaji ufalme huu unaosababisha watu kupigana na kuuana.”1

Thinking that he could gather and support them, but Jesus used to leave alone and head to the mountains, because his kingdom is not in this world, and he does not need this kingdom that causes people to fight and to kill.”1

Philips alimwambia rafiki yake Nathaniel: "Tumemwona yule ambaye Musa aliandika kumhusu katika Torati na manabii, Yesu mwana wa Yusufu, ambaye anatoka Nazareti ……….".

Philips said to his friend Nathaniel: "we found what Moses wrote about in the Torah and the prophets Jesus son of Josef who is from Nazirah ……….".

Nathanieli alienda kwa Yesu na kumwuliza, "Nathanaeli akamwambia, Rabi, wewe ndiwe Mwana wa Mungu; wewe ndiwe Mfalme wa Israeli. Yesu akamjibu, 'Kwa kuwa nimekuambia, Nilikuona chini ya mtini, je, unaamini? Utaona mambo makubwa kuliko haya.'" (Yohana 1:49-50). Yesu alimjibu kwa swali, na akamwambia kwamba ataona miujiza zaidi. Hakumwambia kwamba yeye ndiye mfalme aliyetarajiwa.

Nathaniel went to Jesus (PBUH) and asked him, "Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel. Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, “I saw you under the fig tree,” do you believe? You will see greater things than these." (John: 1/49-50). Jesus (PBUH) answered him by a question, and told him that he will see more miracles. He did not tell him that he was the expected king.

Katika jumba la Pilato, alikanusha kwamba anaweza kuwa mfalme aliyetarajiwa wa Wayahudi kama walivyodai na kuvumisha. "Yesu akajibu, “Ufalme wangu si wa ulimwengu huu. Kama ufalme wangu ungekuwa wa ulimwengu huu, watumishi wangu wangepigana, nisiwekwe mikononi mwa Wayahudi. Lakini ufalme wangu si wa hapa duniani." (Yohana 18:36). Ufalme wake ni wa kiroho, ulio mbinguni; si ule ufalme wa kimwili na wa kidunia wa Wayahudi uliokuwa ukiogopwa na Warumi, "inajulikana kutoka kwa unabii kwamba Masihi atakuwa mfalme na kuhani". 2 Kutokuwa na hatia kwake kuhusu shtaka hili kulidhihirika wazi katika jumba la Pilato, ambaye alimwuliza akisema, "Wakaanza kumshtaki, wakisema, “Tumemkuta mtu huyu akiwapotosha taifa letu, akikataza kutoa kodi kwa Kaisari, na akisema kwamba yeye mwenyewe ni Kristo, Mfalme." (Luka 23:2). Haingii akilini kuichukulia jibu alilotoa Yesu (amani iwe juu yake) kuwa ni kukiri, kwani alimwambia, “Wewe unasema hivyo, si mimi”, na Pilato akashawishika kuhusu kutokuwa na hatia kwake, akasema: "...sioni kosa lolote kwake." (Yohana 18:38).

In Pilate’s palace, he denied that he could be the Jews’ expected king as they claimed and rumored. "Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world." (John: 18/36). His kingdom is spiritual, which is in heaven, it is not the expected kingdom of the Jews; the material timely kingdom feared by the Romans, "it is known from the prophecies that the messiah will be a king and a priest". 2 His innocence from this accusation clearly proved in Pilate’s palace, who asked him saying, "And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a King." (Luke: 23/2), it is unlikely to consider the answer given by Jesus (PBUH) as a confession, as he said to him, “you are saying so not me”, and Pilate was convinced of his innocence and said: "...I find no guilt in him." (John: 18/38).

Katika Injili ya Yohana, Yesu (amani iwe juu yake) alimweleza Pilato kwamba sababu ya ujumbe wake ilikuwa kutoa ushahidi wa ukweli, na si kuwa mfalme wa wanadamu. Alisema:- "Wewe wasema kwamba mimi ni mfalme. Kwa ajili ya kusudi hili nalizaliwa, na kwa kusudi hili nimekuja ulimwenguni, ili nishuhudie kweli. Kila mtu aliye wa kweli huisikia sauti yangu." (Yohana: 18/37).

In the Gospel of John, Jesus (PBUH) explained to Pilate that the reason of his message was to bear witness for the truth, and not be a king of human beings. He said:- "you say that I am a king. For this purpose, I was born and for this purpose, I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth listens to my voice." (John: 18/37).

Miongoni mwa waliotambua hilo, Yesu (AS) hakuwa Masihi aliyetarajiwa, alikuwa Yuda Iskariote. Ambaye - kama alivyoonwa na kasisi Al-Khodary - alimsaliti Yesu (AS) kwa sababu alikuwa mwanachama wa kundi la washabiki waliyoota kuonekana kwa Masihi mshindi. Alikatishwa tamaa, na akaanza kushuku kama Yesu alikuwa Masihi au la. "Walipofika Kapernaumu, wakusanya kodi ya nusu shekeli wakamwendea Petro, wakasema, 'Je, mwalimu wenu hatoi kodi ya nusu shekeli?' Akasema, 'Ndiyo.' Alipoingia nyumbani, Yesu alimwahi kwa kusema, 'Unafikiri nini, Simoni? Wafalme wa dunia hutoza ushuru au kodi kutoka kwa nani? Kutoka kwa wana wao au kwa wageni?' Alipojibu, 'Kwa wageni,' Yesu akamwambia, 'Basi wana wako huru. Hata hivyo, ili tusiwakwaze, nenda baharini, utupe ndoana, na uchukue samaki wa kwanza atakayepanda; na utakapofungua kinywa chake utaona shekeli. Chukua hiyo ukawape kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili yako.'" (Mathayo 17:24-27)

Among those who realized that, Jesus (PBUH) was not the expected messiah was Judas Iscariot. Who - as seen by the priest Al-Khodary - betrayed Jesus (PBUH) because he was a member of the enthusiast group who dreamed of the appearance of the victorious messiah. He was disappointed, and he became suspicious as to whether or not Jesus was the messiah. “When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, “Dos your teacher not pay the tax?” He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?” and when he said, “from others” Jesus said to him, and then the sons are free. however, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself." (Matthew: 17/24-27) 1

Wengine walitambua kwamba Yesu hakuwa Masihi aliyekuwa akitarajiwa.

Others realized that Jesus (PBUH) was not the expected messiah.

Kujua asili ya Yesu, familia yake na kabila lake, wakati Masihi anayetarajiwa ni mgeni na hajulikani na Wayahudi. "Basi baadhi ya watu wa Yerusalemu wakasema, Je! huyu si yule wanayemtafuta ili wamwue? Na tazama, anasema waziwazi, nao hawamwambii neno lolote. Je! watawala wamekwisha kweli kujua ya kuwa huyu ndiye Kristo? Lakini sisi twajua huyu anatoka wapi; ila Kristo atakapokuja, hakuna mtu atakayejua atoke wapi." (Yohana 7:25-27) Hiyo ni kwa sababu Masihi anayetarajiwa ni mgeni kwa wana wa Israeli.

Knowing Jesus’ origin, family and tribe, while the expected messiah is a stranger and not known to the Jews. "Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this, the man whom they seek to kill? And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ? But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from." (John: 7: 25-27) that is because the expected messiah is a stranger to the children of Israel.

Yesu (SAW) alithibitisha uhalisi wa ishara waliyoitaja kuhusu Masihi aliyekuwa hayupo, alisema:

Jesus (PBUH) confirmed the authenticity of the sign they mentioned about the absent messiah, he said:

Basi Yesu alitangaza, alipokuwa akifundisha hekaluni, akisema, “Mnanijua, na mnajua natoka wapi? Lakini sikuja kwa hiari yangu mwenyewe. Yeye aliyenituma ni wa kweli, nanyi hamumjui. Mimi namjua, kwa sababu natoka kwake, naye ndiye aliyenituma.” ……. Hata hivyo, watu wengi walimwamini. Wakasema, “Kristo atakapokuja, je, atafanya ishara nyingi kuliko huyu mtu alizofanya?” (Yohana 7:25-31) Yesu (SAW)

"So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “you know me, and you know whence I come from? But I have not come of my own accord. he who sent me is true, and him you do not know. I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.” ……. yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?" (John: 7: 25-31) Jesus (PBUH)

alisema kwamba yeye ni mjumbe aliyetumwa na Mungu, na kwamba yeye si yule wanayemtarajia, kwa kuwa hawamjui huyo.

mentioned that he is a messenger sent by God, and that he is not the one they are expecting, because they do not know that one.

Wale aliozungumza naye walimwamini, na walielewa kwamba yeye si Masihi aliyetarajiwa. Hebu tuangalie alichosema Yohana: "Lakini watu wengi walimwamini. Wakasema, 'Masihi atakapokuja, je, atafanya ishara nyingi kuliko huyu mtu aliyezifanya?'" (Yohana 7:30-31)

Those he had spoken to believed in him, and they understood that he is not the expected messiah. Let us look at what John said, "Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?" (John: 7:30-31)

Yesu (SAW) ni mzao wa Daudi kama inavyotajwa na Mathayo na Luka, na watu wake walimwita kwa jina hilo mara kwa mara. "Na aliposikia kwamba ni Yesu wa Nazareti, alianza kupaza sauti na kusema, 'Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie.'" (Marko: 10/47), (ona Mathayo: 1/1, 20/31) na Luka: 18/28, na aya nyingine nyingi.

Jesus (PBUH) is a descendant of David as mentioned by Matthew and Luke, and his people repeatedly called him by that name. "And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me." (Mark: 10/47), (see Matthew: 1/1, 20/31) and Luke: 18/28, and many other verses.

Masihi anayetarajiwa au mfalme ajaye si mzao wa Daudi, kama Yesu alivyoshuhudia: "Basi Mafarisayo walipokuwa wamekusanyika, Yesu aliwauliza swali, akisema, 'Mnamfikiriaje Kristo? Ni mwana wa nani?' Wakamwambia, 'Ni mwana wa Daudi.' Akawaambia, 'Basi inakuwaje Daudi, kwa Roho, anamwita Bwana, akisema, Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu, Keti mkono wangu wa kuume, hata nitakapowaweka adui zako chini ya miguu yako? Basi, ikiwa Daudi anamwita Bwana, anawezaje kuwa mwanawe?' Wala hakuna mtu aliyeweza kumjibu neno, wala tangu siku hiyo hapakuwa na mtu aliyethubutu kumwuliza tena maswali." (Mathayo 22:41-46). Yesu (amani iwe juu yake) alishuhudia waziwazi kwamba yeye si Masihi anayetarajiwa.

The expected messiah or the next king is not a descendant of David, as Jesus testified: "now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, Saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The Son of David.” He said to them, “How is then that David, in the spirit, call him Lord, saying, “The LORD said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet”? If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” And no man was able to answer him a word, nor from that day do any one dare to ask him any more questions." (Matthew: 22/41-46). Jesus (PBUH) openly testified that he was not the expected messiah.

Yesu (SAW) hawezi kutimiza unabii wa mfalme mkuu ajaye, na hawezi kuwa mfalme juu ya kiti cha enzi cha Daudi wala cha mtu yeyote mwingine. Yeye ni mzao wa mfalme mwenye dhambi "Yehoiakimu mwana wa Yosia", mmoja wa babu zake Yesu (SAW) kama inavyotajwa katika Kitabu cha Mambo ya Nyakati (1).

Jesus (PBUH) cannot fulfill the prophecies of the next great king, and cannot be a king on the throne of David or anyone else. He is a descendant of the sinful king "Jehoiakim son of Josiah", one of Jesus (PBUH) grandfathers as mentioned in the Book of Chronicles (1).

Amoni mwanawe, Yosia mwanawe. Wana wa Yosia:

"Amon his son, Josiah his son. The sons of Josiah:

Yohanani mzaliwa wa kwanza, Yehoiakimu wa pili, Sedekia wa tatu, Shalumu wa nne. (Mambo ya Nyakati (1): 3:14-15)

Johanan the fristborn, the second Jehoiakim, the third Zedekiah, the fourth Shallum." (Chronicles (1): 3:14-15)

Yehoyakimu alikuwa babu wa Yesu (SAW) (kama inavyotajwa katika Biblia Takatifu), na Mathayo aliliacha jina la Yehoyakimu katika orodha ya ukoo wa Yesu, kati ya Yosia na mjukuu wake Yekonia.

Jehoiakim was a grandfather to Jesus (PBUH) (as mentioned in the Holy Bible), Matthew dropped the name Jehoiakim from Jesus’ ancestry list, between Josiah and his grandson Yeknia.

Mungu aliharamisha utawala kwa wazao wa Yehoyakimu kulingana na Torati, "Kwa hiyo BWANA asema hivi juu ya Yehoyakimu mfalme wa Yuda; Hatakuwa na mtu wa kuketi katika kiti cha enzi cha Daudi, na maiti yake itatupwa nje wakati wa mchana kwenye joto na usiku kwenye baridi kali." (Yeremia: 36/30). Je, Wakristo - ambao wanadai kwamba Yesu (AS) ni mzao wa Yekonia mwana wa Yehoyakimu mwenye dhambi - wanawezaje kuamini kwamba mtu anayetimiza unabii huu ni Yesu (AS)?

God forbade the dominion from descendants of Jehoiakim according to the Torah, "Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out in the heat by day and the frost by night." (Jeremiah: 36/30). How can the Christians - who claimed that Jesus (PBUH) is a descendant of Yeknia the son of the sinful Jehoiakim - believe that the person who fulfills these prophecies is Jesus (PBUH)?

Kutafakari wasifu wa Yesu (amani iwe juu yake), maneno yake na tabia zake, kutathibitisha kwamba hakuwa mfalme ajaye wala mfalme aliyekuwa akitarajiwa.

Pondering upon the biography of Jesus (PBUH), his words and his habits, will prove that he was not the next king or the expected king.

Hakuwahi kamwe kuwa mfalme wa wana wa Israeli, hata kwa siku moja; ujumbe wake haukuwa na wokovu wa kidunia kwao, tofauti na yule nabii aliyetarajiwa. Badala yake, Yesu (PBUH) mara nyingi alikimbia akiogopa mashambulizi ya Wayahudi; basi, tunawezaje kumlinganisha na mfalme mshindi? Mfalme ambaye atawashinda maadui zake kwa mapenzi ya Mungu, na ambaye dunia nzima itamsujudia yeye pamoja na taifa lake.

He was never a king of the children of Israel even for one day; his message did not contain any secular salvation for them unlike the awaited prophet. Instead, Jesus (PBUH) often escaped fearing the assault of the Jews; so, how can we compare him to the victorious king? The king who will defeat his enemies by the will of God, and whom the planet will bow to and to his nation.

Nabii atakayekuja ataviponda na kuwashinda wafalme na mataifa ya wakati wake, kama ilivyosemwa na Yakobo: "Fimbo ya utawala haitaondoka kwa Yuda, wala mwenye kutawala hataondoka miguuni pake, hata atakapokuja yule ambaye ni wake; na utii wa mataifa utakuwa kwake." (Mwanzo 49:10).

The coming prophet will smash and defeat the kings and nations of his time as told by Jacob. "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s stuff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples." (Genesis: 49/10).

Nabii Daudi alisema kumhusu yeye:

Prophet David said about him:

"Funga upanga wako kiunoni mwako, Ee shujaa, katika fahari yako na utukufu wako. Katika utukufu wako panda ushinde kwa ajili ya kweli, unyenyekevu na haki; mkono wako wa kuume na ukufundishe matendo ya kutisha. Mishale yako ni mikali moyoni mwa adui za mfalme; mataifa yanaanguka chini yako. Kiti chako cha enzi, Ee Mungu, ni cha milele na milele. Fimbo ya ufalme wako ni fimbo ya unyoofu." (Zaburi 45:1-6)

"Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and majesty. In your majesty ride out victoriously fro the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; let your right hand teach you awesome deeds. your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the peoples fall under you. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. the scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness." (Psalms: 45/1-6).

Yesu (PBUH) alilipa kodi zake kwa Warumi "walipofika Kapernaumu, watozaji wa kodi ya nusu shekeli walimwendea Petro, wakasema, 'Je, mwalimu wenu hailipi kodi ya nusu shekeli?' Akasema, 'Ndiyo.' Alipoingia nyumbani, Yesu alimtangulia kusema, 'Wewe unaonaje, Simoni? Wafalme wa dunia hutoza ushuru au kodi kutoka kwa nani? Kutoka kwa wana wao au kutoka kwa wengine?' Naye alipojibu, 'Kutoka kwa wengine,' Yesu akamwambia, 'Basi wana wako huru. Lakini, ili tusiwakwaze, nenda baharini ukatupe ndoana, ukachukue samaki wa kwanza atakayepanda, na ukifungua kinywa chake utapata shekeli. Chukua hiyo ukawape kwa ajili yangu na kwa ajili yako.'" (Mathayo 17:24-27). Je, tunawezaje kulinganisha mlipa kodi na mfalme ambaye mataifa yataanguka chini ya miguu yake na kutii hukumu zake?

Jesus (PBUH) paid his taxes to the Romans "when they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to peter and said, “does your teacher not pay the tax?” He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?” and when he said “from others,” Jesus said to him, Then the sons free. however, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.” “(Matthew: 17/24-27). How could we compare a taxpayer with a king that nations will fall under his feet and comply with his rulings?

Je, Yesu (PBUH) alikataa kuwa hakimu kati ya watu wawili; basi, je, angeweza kudai mamlaka na utawala? "Mtu mmoja katika umati akamwambia, Mwalimu, mwambie ndugu yangu agawanye urithi pamoja nami. Lakini akamwambia, Ewe mtu, ni nani aliyeniweka mimi kuwa hakimu au mpatanishi juu yenu?" (Luka 12:13-14).

Jesus (PBUH) refused to be a judge between two men; so, could he then claim authority and dominion? "Someone in the crowd said to him, “teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you? “(Luke: 12/13-14).

Hata kama Wakristo wanang'ang'ania kupingana na Biblia kwa kusema kwamba Yesu (PBUH) ndiye mfalme aliyeahidiwa, mshindi, ambaye mataifa yatamtii, na kwamba yote haya yatatokea wakati wa kurudi kwake mara ya pili, malaika anakanusha dai hili la unabii alioutaja kwa Mariamu. Alimwambia kwamba Yesu (PBUH) atakuwa mfalme wa nyumba ya Yakobo tu; hivyo, kiwango cha juu zaidi cha ufalme wake ni taifa la Israeli. "Naye atautawala uzao wa Yakobo milele, wala ufalme wake hautakuwa na mwisho." (Luka 1:33). Masihi aliyeahidiwa "na kwake itakuwa utii wa mataifa" (Mwanzo 49:10), na "mishale yako imechongoka mioyoni mwa adui za mfalme; mataifa wanaanguka chini yako." (Zaburi

Even if the Christians insist in conflicting with the Bible by saying that Jesus (PBUH) is the promised victorious king, the one that nations will obey, and that all this will happen on his second return, the angel refutes this claim’s prophecy mentioned to Mary. He told her that Jesus (PBUH) would only be a king of the house of Jacob; as such, the maximum extent of his kingdom is the nation of Israel. "And he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end." (Luke: 1/33). The promised messiah “and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples” (Genesis: 49/10), and "your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the peoples fall under you." (Psalms:

45/5). Ufalme wa Masihi aliyeahidiwa ni mkubwa kuliko ufalme wa wana wa Israeli.

45/5). The promised messiah’s kingdom is greater than the kingdom of the children of Israel.

Ninapenda kutaja hapa kwamba ahadi ya Mwenyezi Mungu kwa Wana wa Israeli ya kuja kwa mfalme wa kiti cha enzi cha Daudi ilikuwa na sharti la utii wao kwa Mwenyezi Mungu na kwa matendo yao kulingana na mapenzi Yake. Ni kama ahadi nyingi nyingine walizopewa. Kwani Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu hamwegemei mmoja wa viumbe Vyake, akimpa asichostahili.

I need to Mention here, that God's promise to the children of Israel of the coming king on the throne of David, was with a condition of their obedience to God and to their deeds according to His will. Just like many other promises to them. For, God Almighty does not take side with any of His creatures, giving them what they do not deserve.

Ahadi hii imevunjwa mara nyingi, na kisha Mungu aliwakataa milele. "Ee Mungu, kwa nini unatutupa milele? Kwa nini hasira yako inafuka dhidi ya kondoo wa malisho yako?

The promise has been broken many times, and then God rejected them forever "O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

"Likumbuke kusanyiko lako, ulilolinunua tangu zamani; ulilolikomboa liwe kabila la urithi wako. Likumbuke Mlima Sayuni, mahali ulipokaa." (Zaburi 74:1-2). Mungu aliikataa taifa hili gumu na katili, na kukataliwa huko kulikuwa milele; mfalme aliyeahidiwa hatatoka kwao, kwa sababu hawakulishika agano lao.

Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old; which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage. Remember Mount Zion, where you have dwelt." (Psalms: 74/1-2), God rejected this tough cruel nation, and the rejection was eternal, the promised king will not be from them, because they did not keep their covenant.

Hadithi ya mwanamke Msamaria inaweza kuleta mkanganyiko. Alipomwendea Yesu, akiona miujiza yake na kusikia maneno yake, alimwambia kwamba anaamini Masihi atakuja, naye akamjibu kwamba yeye ndiye Masihi. "Yule mwanamke akamwambia, 'Ninajua kwamba Masihi anakuja (yule aitwaye Kristo).'"

The story of the Samaritan woman may create confusion. When she went to Jesus (PBUH), seeing his miracles and hearing his words, she told him that she believed that the messiah will come, and he answered her that he is the messiah, "The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ).

Atakapokuja, atatufundisha mambo yote. Yesu akamwambia, "Mimi niliyesema nawe ndiye." (Yohana 4:25-26)

When he comes, he will tell us all things. Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he." (John: 4/25-26).

Sina shaka yoyote kwamba kifungu hiki ni uzushi. Maandishi haya yanapingana na tabia za Nabii Isa, kwa sababu hakuna hata mmoja wa wanafunzi - ikiwa ni pamoja na Yohana aliyeandika simulizi hilo - aliyesikia mazungumzo hayo. Hawakujua mada ya mazungumzo kati yao.

I have no doubt that this phrase is a fabrication. The text contradicts the habits of Jesus (PBUH), because none of the disciples - including John who wrote the story - had heard the conversation. They did not know what the subject of the conversation between them was.

"Yesu akamwambia, “Mimi ninayesema nawe ndiye.” Papo hapo, wanafunzi wake wakarudi. Walistaajabu kwa kuwa alikuwa akizungumza na mwanamke, lakini hakuna aliyesema, “Unataka nini?” au, “Kwa nini unazungumza naye?” (Yohana: 4/26-27), hivyo hawakusikia kweli mazungumzo yao, wala hawakumwuliza kuhusu yaliyotokea kati yao."

"Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he. Just then, his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?" (John: 4/26-27), so they never really heard there conversation and they did not ask him about what went on between them.

Ushahidi wazi zaidi unaothibitisha kwamba hadithi hiyo ni uzushi ni kwamba mwanamke huyo, ambaye aliona miujiza yake na ambaye Yesu (PBUH) alimwambia yale waliyodai, hakuamini kwamba Yesu ndiye Masihi aliyetarajiwa. Hakuwahi kusikia hilo kutoka kwake. Kama angelisikia, angeamini; badala yake aliondoka na kuanza kueneza habari za kuja kwake. Hakuwa na hakika kwamba yeye ndiye Masihi aliyetarajiwa.

The clearest evidence proving that the story is a fabrication is that the woman, who saw his miracles and Jesus (PBUH) said to her what they claimed, did not believe that Jesus (PBUH) is the expected messiah. She never heard that from him. If she did hear it she would have believed; instead, she left and started to spread the news about his coming. She was not certain that he was the expected messiah.

Basi yule mwanamke akaiacha chombo chake cha maji, akaenda zake mjini akawaambia watu, Njoni, mwone mtu aliyeniambia yote niliyoyatenda. Huyu si yeye Kristo?" (Yohana: 4/28-29).

“So the woman left her water jar, and went a way into town and said to the people, Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?" (John: 4/28-29).

Kwa hiyo, ni dhahiri kabisa kwamba Yesu (AS) hakudai kuwa yeye ndiye Masihi aliyetarajiwa, ingawa wale waliokuwa wakimsubiri mwokozi mkuu aliyetumwa na Mungu kuwashinda adui zao walidai hivyo. Katika kitabu chake "Jesus", Boltman alisema kwa usahihi alipoandika: "Yesu hakujiona kuwa Masihi." Wasomi wengi wa kisasa walikubaliana naye, kama alivyoeleza Askofu Bernar Bartman, walisema: "Yesu hakujiona kuwa Masihi; ni wanafunzi wake ndio walimpa cheo hiki baada ya kifo chake na kufufuka kwake, cheo ambacho alikikataa vikali wakati wa uhai wake duniani."

Accordingly, it is very clear that Jesus (PBUH) did not claim that he was the expected messiah, even if his contemporaries claimed this to be so, those who longed for the arrival of the great savior sent by God to defeat his enemies. In his book "Jesus", Boltman was correct when he said:- "Jesus did not consider himself the messiah". Many modern scholars agreed with him, as told by Bishop Bernar Bartman, they said:- “Jesus did not consider himself the messiah; it is the disciples who gave him this title after his death and resurrection, a title that he strongly rejected during his life on earth".

Tunamalizia kwa yale aliyosema Charles Gene Pier: "Hitimisho thabiti la tafiti za mtafiti ni kwamba, Yesu hakudai kamwe kuwa ndiye Masihi aliyetarajiwa, wala hakujiita kamwe Mwana wa Mungu".

We conclude with what Charles Gene Pier said, "The firm conclusion of the researcher’s studies is that, Jesus never claimed that he is the expected messiah, and he never called himself the Son of God".
