Let me be honest. The story of Moses and the rock used to mean nothing to me as a Muslim. The people are dying of thirst in the desert. God tells Moses to strike a rock, and water pours out to save them. Exodus 17. Cool miracle. Moving on. That’s how I read it. Then I read what Paul wrote about it. “They drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.” 1 Corinthians 10:4. The rock was struck once, and life poured out for everyone dying. But here’s the part that wrecked me. Later, the people are thirsty AGAIN. And this time God says don’t strike it — just speak to it. Numbers 20:8. Moses strikes it anyway. And God is furious. It costs Moses the Promised Land. Why such a harsh punishment over hitting a rock twice? Because the Rock is only ever struck ONCE. Christ was struck one time for sin. After that, you don’t strike Him again. You just speak to Him. Moses broke the picture before anyone understood it. Islam handed me a water miracle. The Bible handed me the Rock that was struck so I’d never thirst again.

@CraigLG8 @primarily_prog Yeah but if you compare the two it is easy to see. Good news is the last two songs I saw (most recent night I think) By Tor and Closer to the Heart were exactly on spot. Looks like she’s settling in. I’m beyond happy for her and all concerned.

@mattalica73 @YouTube Unwatchable all her beats are sped up rushed. Jumbled together. Nothing has room to breathe. By Tor and the Snow Dog there’s space between those words. It’s weird. I hope she settles in and learns the groove. Rush is supposed to groove. She’s simply fast so far.

🚨NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT ON AMERICAN SOIL A Pakistani imam and real-estate mogul, Jamil Ahmed Sukhera, has quietly turned a 165-acre former Holiday Inn just outside Chicago into V Resort Living - a $400 million self-contained Muslim gated city. (SEE VIDEO) Mosque, school, halal restaurants, waterpark, golf course, Olympic pools, cricket pitch, marketplace - everything designed so residents never have to leave or assimilate into American society. 332 fully furnished units priced from $135k–$280k, marketed worldwide to foreign Muslim investors. Part of his claimed $2.5 BILLION empire of hotels, Sharia-compliant investments (VAIRT), and properties across multiple states. He also runs Vmigrant - a visa pipeline funneling foreigners into the U.S. - and brags that his Pennsylvania Islamic retreat (Marifah) sits directly beside the Raven Rock Mountain Complex (“Underground Pentagon”), America’s top nuclear-war continuity-of-government bunker. In Urdu interviews (never meant for American ears), Sukhera drops the “love and inclusion” talk: “The next war is of the merchants. Islam was spread by merchants… so that is why I am working on merchants.” He openly calls this project the launchpad for a global “wave” of Islam, creating the “next generation of Muslim billionaires” who will “lead the world ethically [in Islam, this means under Sharia]” - on American soil, with American infrastructure, backed by overseas capital. This isn’t a “resort.” We believe he is building parallel societies engineered for non-assimilation, funded in ways that scream for federal scrutiny. Who is really bankrolling a money-losing $400M enclave? Why the visa pipeline + Sharia investment platform + proximity to a top-secret military site? This is economic jihad in a business suit - exactly as Sukhera describes it in his own words. Americans deserve answers. Now. We are allowing Pakistanis to build massive infrastructure on our soil...WHY!? Why would we allow Pakistan to build on our soil a country that harbors jihadists, persecutes minorities with blasphemy mobs, demands Sharia privileges in our military and cities, and colonizes our politics through diaspora operatives serving Islamabad instead of America? Share this. Tag your representatives. Demand congressional hearings and an FBI/CFIUS review. This is happening RIGHT NOW Wake up, America. SEE FULL REPORT: https://t.co/VRnsJXy5y0

@txsinatrafan Yeah she’s great. But too fast or not smooth enough or something. It all feels smushed together. Listen to Geddy’s words here. It’s not like on the album which is what they always brought live. The world is the world is…it’s a slow methodic anthemic line. It breathed flowed…

@macreed326 @hiattb That’s a sweeping inflammatory statement for which I hope you get what you came for. I’m not gonna be giving it to you though. Im hopeful she starts gettin it where it needs to sit.

@hiattb Call it what you like Rush grooves. And she is not grooving it feels like she is rushing it while not? Most of the songs she’s been playing are so fast 87-107 whatever-but off. Not right somehow.

@RBwalksintoabar You know it never occurred to me until all this #anika stuff, how much actual groove (and tiny specific) space all the song’s have. The new thing is so fast, that’s it. Blazing speed look at me I made it around wow.

If God sent both prophets, we have a built-in way to evaluate them: The Torah. It is the established covenant document. Every subsequent claimant to prophetic succession is, like it or not, auditioning against it. So let’s see how they performed. Jesus’s audition is aggressive. Six times in Matthew 5 he says, “you have heard it said to those of ancient times,” and then overrides it with his own authority. Not “God told me,” or “the revelation says,” but a staggering “I say to you.” It goes deeper. When asked about divorce, Jesus doesn't quibble over Mosaic permissions. He goes entirely behind Moses, back to creation itself. He didn't just know what Moses said; he knew why he said it, locating the original intent. That’s insider knowledge. Then he initiates comparisons rather than just surviving them. “Before Abraham was, I am.” In Matthew 22, he turns a question about the Davidic Messiah into a devastating counter-examination: “If David calls the Messiah Lord (in Psalm 110), how is he his son?” Nobody could answer. They looked like fools. Moses knew the covenant with Abraham. Jesus knew the Law from the inside out. There is an organic, traceable coherence. Now apply that same logic forward. Muhammad also claims prophetic succession, explicitly stating he came to confirm what came before. So we use the same standard. Muhammad versus the Torah. He knows the narrative furniture; Sinai, the commandments, the golden calf. But he completely misses the interior logic. He knows what happened, but he doesn't seem to inhabit what it meant. But Muhammad versus Jesus is where the argument entirely collapses. What does the Quran actually know about what Jesus TAUGHT? I’m not talking about his birth, his miracles, or late-stage theological arguments about his nature. What does it know about his message? There are no Beatitudes in the Quran. No Lord’s Prayer. No “love your enemies.” No Golden Rule. Not a single parable. Not one antithesis from the Sermon on the Mount. The Quran’s Jesus has almost no teaching content at all. His most notable speeches are a denial of his own divinity and a prediction of the prophet coming after him 😂. You know what is happening there. The parables were given to massive crowds. The Lord’s Prayer was meant to be repeated. This material was widely circulating. Yet, none of it appears. A genuine successor would have done to Jesus what Jesus did to Moses. He would have engaged the text. “You have heard that Jesus said love your enemies, but I say to you...” Muhammad never does. He never demonstrates that he knows what Jesus taught well enough to confirm it, let alone extend it. This silence is a structural disqualification. The standard fallback is that prophets don’t need to demonstrate continuity. But that violates Muhammad’s own terms. The Quran presents itself as a confirmation of previous scripture. In Surah 5:47, it commands 7th-century Christians, present tense, to judge by the Gospel God revealed to them. If the text was already hopelessly corrupted, that instruction makes zero sense. The claim that the Gospels were textually altered before Islam, is absent from the Quran. It was invented later by Muslim scholars who noticed the exact problem we are looking at right now. They had to conclude the Gospels were altered, because the alternative was admitting their prophet was wrong. But history doesn't back them up. Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus predate Islam by centuries, the text hasn't moved. The prophetic chain has one absolute structural requirement: each link must actually know the one before it. Moses knew Abraham. Jesus knew the Law deeply enough to raise the bar antithesis by antithesis. Muhammad gives us a Jesus stripped of the Sermon on the Mount, stripped of his parables, and stripped of his ethics. Only one of them showed up knowing the material, his name is Jesus.
