Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books An Introduction To : the Truth of the Existing Christianity Part Two : Alterations of the Prophecies Now we are going to explain the alterations made in these prophecies by the people of Scriptures (Jews and Christians) and uncover the truth in accordance with available documents.

These alterations have been made in order to prevent the Muslims from proving the fact that Muhammad is a true Prophet by referring to the prophecies included in the Old Testament. The Christians and the Jews saw that the Muslims used these prophecies to their own advantage.

It seems that the original phrase must have been "from the midst of their brethren",45 that is, in the form appearing in the verse 18, or "from the midst of thy relatives, thy brethren"46. In the Latin version of the Bible, translated by St.

Jerome in the fourth Century from the Hebrew and Greek texts, the phrase "from the midst of thy nation" is used instead of "from the midst of thee." In the English translation made by Knox from Latin the passage is as follows. "The Lord thy God will raise up for thee a prophet like myself, of thy own race, a brother of thy own. It is to him thou must listen." This English translation which is made from the Latin version of St.
