The true Jesus/Isa/Messiah was first spoken of in the old Jewish scripture. The most sensible thing would be to use the OT (Tanakh Jewish scripture)—written long before the Roman Empire, Paul, the Popes, and Nicea to find out who— between the Jesus of the Christianity and Isa of the Islam—matches 100% the Messiah of the Jewish scripture. If we don’t do that then we end up with Jesus or Isa, who are different from the prophecies of what the Messiah would be like—yet only one of the two HAS to be TRUE and the other FALSE. .
First of all, Tanakh Jewish scripture/OT) clearly states that the ‘son of man’ (whom Jesus said he was) would be GIVEN—by ‘the Ancient of days’ (the Father)—a THRONE, DOMINION, GLORY, and would be SERVED by all the nations in his EVERLASTING KINGDOM [Daniel 7:14 Tanakh Jewish Bible].
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of days, and he was brought near before Him. And there was given him DOMINION, and GLORY, and a KINGDOM, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should SERVE him; his DOMINION is an everlasting DOMINION, which shall not pass away, and his KINGDOM that which shall not be destroyed.”
Tanakh Jewish Bible Daniel 7:13-14
Messiah/son of man will be GLORIFIED.
The ‘son of man’ is the Messiah and Son of God and the Ancient of Days is the Father. Even the Jews were expecting the Messiah to be the Son of God.
The Father gives the Son an EVERLASTING kingdom. Jesus refers several times to himself as the ‘son of man’. So what kind of PROPHET is Jesus who is not God but would be SERVED AND GLORIFIED by all nations in the kingdom of heaven forever and ever?
This OT prophecy about the KINGDOM of the Messiah is confirmed in the New Testament:
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11 KJV
THE GLORIFICATION OF JESUS DOES NOT MAKE HIM MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE FATHER, RATHER, IT GIVES GLORY TO THE FATHER. It’s not a competition thing or IDOLATRY. The Messiah spoke of his glory and how it relates to the Father.
“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
John 14:13 KJV
Jesus further confirms that he has a Kingdom. “My KINGDOM is not of this world. If My KINGDOM were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My KINGDOM is not from here.”
John 18:36
The angel Gabriel in the gospel of Luke continues this prophecy about the THRONE and REIGN and KINGDOM of the Messiah as written in the Jewish OT:
“He shall be GREAT, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the THRONE of his father David: and he shall REIGN over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his KINGDOM there shall be NO END.”
Luke 1:32-33 KJV
Jesus is GREAT. Isa on the other hand is not great. He is only a prophet, will not have an everlasting kingdom and is not glorified but “highly honored” [Qur’an, 3:45]. How can Isa, the Word and Spirit of Allah at his return to earth, die and be buried? It doesn’t add up! So, using unbiased and verifiable evidence, Prophet Isa of the Qur’an—with due respect—is a False version (False Prophet) of the Messiah as described by Jewish scripture.
This is clear EVIDENCE that the Gabriel of the gospels is TRUTHFUL to the prophecy of Daniel in the Hebrew scriptures than the ‘Gebreel’ of the Qur’an because clearly the Messiah/Isa of the Qur’an is a captive and victim of a paranoid narrative designed to strip him of his GREATNESS, KINGSHIP, DOMINION, EVERLASTING KINGDOM and GLORIFICATION which the Ancient of Days has bestowed upon HIM. It’s no wonder the the god of this world is terrified of the King of KINGS OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS: Jesus Christ.

Allah’s Apostle said, “The most awful name in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be (that of) a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of kings).”
