                 kingdom is one that will never be destroyed." (Daniel, 7:13-14)

                 The reference here is to a mortal human being, and Torah scholars
             are unanimously agreed that the "King" refers to the King Messiah, the
             Mahdi, who will come in the End Times. The King Messiah will reign
             over all nations, and all peoples and nations will be content with him.
                 It needs to be stated that the Jews never regarded the passages
             from the Torah in question in terms of the Trinity, neither in the time
             of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) nor afterward. These concepts were nev-
             er understood in the sense of the Trinity when the Torah was first re-

             vealed. The Jews are perfectly well aware of the true and profound
             meanings of these terms in the Torah and seek shelter with God from
             interpreting them as involving the Trinity. They understand the sense
             of these terms and realize that they stress the love, protectiveness and
             closeness of God to His servant. Indeed, Jews also oppose the false im-
             pressions that some Christians seek to give through their literal inter-
             pretation of passages from the Torah.
                 The Christians who interpret these passages in terms of the Trin-
             ity also seek to produce evidence for their claims from the Koran. Yet
             the belief that appears in all these passages from the Torah and the
             Psalms is a monotheistic faith. The Gospel, which confirms the Torah,
             also praises this monotheistic faith. Our Christian brothers really must
             see this reality in the Gospel.



              The Idea That God Appeared in Human
             Form Must Also Be Repellent to Christians


                 Devout Christians need to behave honestly on this subject and see
             that the attribution of divinity to a human being contravenes the
             Christianity brought by Jesus (pbuh) and the words of the Torah and
             the Gospel; they also need to see that it flies in the face of all reason
             and logic. They need to admit the possibility that such a belief, added
