In Bible versus Quran: her Images will be broken to Pieces
In Bible versus Quran: O peoples, O earth! Hear and listen (2)
This is the second article in the series: O peoples, O earth! Hear and listen in the Bible versus the Quran (2).
The Bible says: Hear, O peoples, all of you, all of them! Listen, O earth:
All this is because the transgression of Jacob and because of the sins of the house of Israel. But what are all this? God is coming out of his place; He will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth and the mountains will melt under the LORD God Love. Then God Love will make Samaria a heap of ruins and will pour her stones down into the valley and will lay bare her foundations. Samaria's idols will be smashed, all of her earnings will be burned with fire and all of her images I will make desolate, for she collected them from a harlot's earnings, And to the earnings of a harlot they will return.
Nevertheless, the Lord God said: What the high places of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem? According to the available Biblical maps; NO, Judah's high place is Not Jerusalem. This is a very important issue that needs to be studied very carefully. It is one of two possibilities; either God has no idea about the geographical location of Judah's high place or those who drew the Biblical maps forged them.
In addition, God Love said that He is coming out of his place; He will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth and the mountains will melt under Him because of the sins of the house of Israel.
In the Quran, there is a lot of sins committed by the children of Israel but
All of their sins did not need all of these procedures from Allah.
Moreover, what is the big deal for all of these stuffs that made the Lord God to come down etc. and to address his word to all the earth?
Most of the human beings have no idea about Samaria or Judea and hence they are not interested to their outcome.
On the other hand, Allah addresses the following message to mankind.
Allah says:
O people! Remember Allah's grace towards you. Is there any god, other than Allah who provides you from the sky and from the earth? There is no God save Him.
So how then do you deviate?
And if they deny you, O Muhammad, verily other messengers before you were denied, so be steadfast; and to Allah all matters are returned, in the Hereafter, when He will requite the deniers and grant victory to the messengers.
O mankind! Indeed Allah’s promise, of resurrection is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, and do not let Satan, deceive you concerning Allah
Truly Satan is an enemy to you. So treat him as an enemy, by being obedient to Allah and do not obey him. His followers will be the inhabitants of the hell, the fierce Fire.
================================
O peoples, O earth! Hear and listen in the Bible (2)
Micah 1:5-7
New International Version
5 All this is because of Jacob's transgression, because of the sins of the house of Israel. What is Jacob's transgression? Is it not Samaria? What is Judah's high place? Is it not Jerusalem?
6 "Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble, a place for planting vineyards. I will pour her stones into the valley and lay bare her foundations.
7 All her idols will be broken to pieces; all her temple gifts will be burned with fire; I will destroy all her images. Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes, as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used."
New American Standard Bible
5All this is for the rebellion of Jacob
What is the rebellion of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? What is the high place of Judah?
6For I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the open country, Planting places for a vineyard I will pour her stones down into the valley And will lay bare her foundations.
7All of her idols will be smashed, All of her earnings will be burned with fire And all of her images I will make desolate, For she collected them from a harlot's earnings, And to the earnings of a harlot they will return.
English Standard Version
5All this is for the transgression of Jacob and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
6Therefore I will make Samaria a heap in the open country, a place for planting vineyards, and I will pour down her stones into the valley and uncover her foundations.
7All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces, all her wages shall be burned with fire, and all her idols I will lay waste, for from the fee of a prostitute she gathered them, and to the fee of a prostitute they shall return.
King James Version
5For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
6Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
7And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.

O peoples, O earth! Hear and listen in the Quran (2)
Verses 35:3-6 give the message of Allah to mankind.
The meaning of these verses:
Verse 35:3
O people! Remember Allah's grace towards you, in the form of rain, provision and well-being! Is there any creator, any god, other than Allah who provides you from the sky, rain, and from the earth, vegetation? There is no God save Him who provides you. Whither then are you turned, from whence do you lie and claim that your deities provide for you?
So how then do you deviate? How are you turned away from affirming His Oneness when you already affirm that He is the Creator and the Provider?
Verse 35:4
And if they deny you, O Muhammad, with regard to your coming with the message of Allah’s Oneness, resurrection, reckoning and punishment, verily other messengers before you were denied, in this respect, so be steadfast as they were steadfast; and to Allah all matters are returned, in the Hereafter, when He will requite the deniers and grant victory to the messengers.
Verse 35:5
O mankind! Indeed Allah’s promise, of resurrection and of other issues mentioned in the Quran, is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, from believing in all of that, and do not let the Deceiver, Satan, deceive you concerning Allah, on account of His forbearance and respiting of sinners in this life.
Verse 35:6
Truly Satan is an enemy to you. So treat him as an enemy, by being obedient to Allah and do not obey him; he only summons his faction, his followers in disbelief, so that they may be among the inhabitants of the hell, the fierce Fire.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verses 35:3-6 in four different translations:
Verse 35:3
QARIB: people, remember the blessings of Allah to you. Except for Allah, is there any other creator who provides for you out of heaven and earth? There is no god except he. Where then do you turn?
SHAKIR: o men! call to mind the favor of Allah on you; is there any creator besides Allah who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth? there is no god but he; whence are you then turned away?
PICKTHAL: o mankind! Remember Allah's grace toward you! is there any creator other than Allah who provideth for you from the sky and the earth? there is no Allah save him. whither then are ye turned?
YUSUFALI: o men! Call to mind the grace of Allah unto you! is there a creator, other than Allah, to give you sustenance from heaven or earth? there is no god but he: how then are ye deluded away from the truth?
Verse 35:4
QARIB: if they belie you, other messengers have been belied before you. to Allah all matters are returned.
SHAKIR: and if they call you a liar, truly messengers before you were called liars, and to Allah are all affairs returned
PICKTHAL: and if they deny thee, (O Muhammad), messengers (of Allah) were denied before thee. unto Allah all things are brought back.
YUSUFALI: and if they reject thee, so were messengers rejected before thee: to Allah back for decision all affairs.
Verse 35:5
QARIB: people, the promise of Allah is true, so do not let this present life delude you, and do not let the deluder (Satan) deludes you about Allah.
SHAKIR: O men! Surely the promise of Allah is true, therefore let not the life of this world deceive you, and let not the archdeceiver deceive you respecting Allah
PICKTHAL: O mankind! Lo! The promise of Allah is true. so let not the life of the world beguile you, and let not the (avowed) beguiler beguile you with regard to Allah.
YUSUFALI: O men! Certainly the promise of Allah is true. let not then this present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver deceive you about Allah.
Verse 35:6
QARIB: Satan is indeed your enemy; therefore take him for an enemy. he calls his party so that they will become the companions of the blaze.
SHAKIR: surely the shaitan is your enemy, so take him for an enemy; he only invites his party that they may be inmates of the burning
PICKTHAL: lo! The devil is an enemy for you, so treat him as an enemy. He only summoneth his faction to be owners of the flaming fire.
YUSUFALI: verily Satan is an enemy to you: so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his adherents, which they may become companions of the blazing fire.

What is this cool piece of flint?
I found a really cool piece of flint. It is shaped like a triangular wedge, and can actually carve wood. in is about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. The flint is white clear at the top, and it gets darker shade by shade as it gets closer to the bottom which is pure black. I don't think it is an arrowhead. Could it be another item or just a mistake.
Sounds like you found an arrowhead. Only thing I can think of.
