God came from teman the holy one on mount paran selah?

Answer 1

This is the text of Habakkuk 3:3. It is fairly easy to show that it prefigures Mohammed, and many Muslims take it as confirmation of the prophesy of Islam in The Bible.

But if it does prophesy Mohammed, it prophesies Mohammed as God:- not as a prophet.

It is just as easy to read this text in other ways (where it doesn't refer to Mohammed).

Whichever way you read it, it contradicts mainstream Islam.

I understand also that Habakkuk 3:3 refers to the place where the Almighty made the promise to Abraham. God said He would make Abraham's maidservant (Hagar) and their son (Abraham's and Hagar's) Ishmael, a nation. God's blessing was on both of Abraham's sons. But as far as the lineage of the Jews (who Habukkak spoke to), their God goes back to that place in the wilderness of Paran (Teman/Yeman/Sinai) where Isaac and Ishmael came from, or born out of. God's promise to make Abraham the father of many nations held true. The Christians, Jews and Muslims are thought by many to begin at, or come out from this point in Hebrew Scripture. This place (Teman) is where their race as Jews originates. To their understanding, maybe they assume this is where their God is from. Whether Islam traces their faith back to Paran because of Ishmael, or Makka and its connection to their prophet Muhammad, I see that for many faiths their connection to God began in Teman. Not so much that God was born like a man in Teman, but that is where they began to walk with God.
