In the Koran and the Bible are the same story about the Person of Jesus Christ [ Jesus the Messiah ] . However , despite the similarities , there are also many differences . His death is one of them . " Did Isa Al -Masih died ? " This question is often asked by Christians .
Although Qs 19:33 says , " And peace be upon me [ Jesus the Messiah ] , on the day I was born , the day I [ Jesus the Messiah ] died and the day I [ Jesus the Messiah ] was raised to life again . " But this verse can not change doctrine of believer who had already rejected the death of Jesus Christ.
So how historians view , theology , and medicine on the fact the death of Isa Al-Masih ?
Facts of Medical Sciences
" But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear , and immediately blood and water " ( Gospel , the Great Apostle John 19:34 ) .
If a person's blood out of the body too much , then that person will experience a condition called hypovolemic shock or loss of blood . Functioning heart pumps blood , it will still work even if no blood . As a result, the person may faint due to low blood pressure .
He also will feel thirsty because the kidneys are not working . While the heart continues to work while the kidneys are not functioning , then the water will gather around the heart and lungs . This is why when Jesus was pierced , blood and water came out .
The fact of non - Christian historian
Some non - Christian historian , through the books they have written , supports the truth of Jesus' death . Among them are :
Joseph son of Matthias ( also known as Flavius Josephus ) . Jewish historian . Born in 37m in Jerusalem . 93m years he wrote a book or Jewish Antiquities Antiquities Judaicae . Consisting of 20 books . In his book , he also wrote how Pilate had condemned Jesus Christ is on the cross .
Cornelius Tacitus . Roman historians . Born around 52-54 AD and died around 120 AD He wrote a book which contains the history of the Annals of the Roman imperial period 14 AD - 68 AD About Jesus , Tacitus mentions that he has suffered extreme penalty during the reign of Pontius Pilate . Not explicitly mentioned how his execution , but the punishment of the cross is a common method of execution in those days for the perpetrators of crime and rebellion .
Thus the historical facts of the " third party . " Both Jews and non - Jews acknowledge that Jesus Christ was crucified .
The fact of the Revelation of God
What Scripture says about the death of Isa Al -Masih ? Great Prophet Isaiah the prophet is one who gives prophecies about the death of Isa Al-Masih ( The Book of the Great Prophet Isaiah 50:6 ) . The same prophecy delivered by the prophet Daniel , " after the sixty- two sevens will be cut an anointed [ Messiah ] , but it does not hurt anything . . . . . " ( The Book of the Prophet Daniel 9:26 ) .
The former prophets not only gave prophecies about the death of Jesus Christ. Subject resurrection was foretold . Even Jesus himself , before he died , he had declared . On the third day he would rise from the dead, " he said to them : " It is written : The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day " ( gospel , Apostle Luke 24:46 ) .
Why Should Isa Al -Masih Death ?
