The first heaven is described as being made of water and is the home of Adam and Eve, as well as the angels of each star.

The second heaven is described as being made of white pearls and is the home of Yahya (John the Baptist) and Isa (Jesus).

The third heaven is described as being made of iron (alternatively pearls or other dazzling stones); Joseph and the Angel of Death (named Azrael in some traditions) are resident there.[15]

The fourth heaven is described as being made of brass (alternatively white gold); Idris (conventionally identified with Enoch) and the "Angel of Tears" resides there.

The fifth heaven is described as being made of silver; Aaron and the "Avenging Angel"[who?] hold court over this heaven.

The sixth heaven is described as being composed of gold (alternatively garnets and rubies); Moses can be found here.[16]

The seventh heaven, which borrows some concepts from its Jewish counterpart, is depicted as being composed of divine light incomprehensible to the mortal man (alternatively emerald). Abraham is a resident there and Sidrat al-Muntaha, a large enigmatic Lote tree, marks the end of the seventh heaven and the utmost extremity for all of God's creatures and heavenly knowledge

Psalm 22 mirrors the crucifixion.

11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

Jezus pbuh told his people that after him will come the final messenger named Ahmad(one of the names of Muhammad pbuh). But that part is removed from the current bibles. Islamic scholars asked the Vatican to open their Archives but they refused.

>Muhammed’s coming is a bit anti-climactic compared to Jesus
He and his followers managed to pull together the worlds largest empire within a generation, which triggered a golden age of art, science, trade, and translation, allowing for the wisdom of the classical world to be preserved up through till the Mongol conquests. Muhammed also left a clear guide for people to be instructed in religion, rather than a bunch of contradictory Greek metaphysics masquerading as theology.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The night Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was taken for a journey from the sacred mosque (of Mecca) Al-Ka`ba: Three persons came to him (in a dreamy while he was sleeping in the Sacred Mosque before the Divine Inspiration was revealed to Him. One of them said, "Which of them is he?" The middle (second) angel said, "He is the best of them." The last (third) angle said, "Take the best of them." Only that much happened on that night and he did not see them till they came on another night, i.e. after The Divine Inspiration was revealed to him. (Fath-ul-Bari Page 258, Vol. 17) and he saw them, his eyes were asleep but his heart was not----and so is the case with the prophets: their eyes sleep while their hearts do not sleep. So those angels did not talk to him till they carried him and placed him beside the well of Zamzam. From among them Gabriel took charge of him. Gabriel cut open (the part of his body) between his throat and the middle of his chest (heart) and took all the material out of his chest and `Abdomen and then washed it with Zamzam water with his own hands till he cleansed the inside of his body, and then a gold tray containing a gold bowl full of belief and wisdom was brought and then Gabriel stuffed his chest and throat blood vessels with it and then closed it (the chest).

He then ascended with him to the heaven of the world and knocked on one of its doors. The dwellers of the Heaven asked, 'Who is it?' He said, "Gabriel." They said, "Who is accompanying you?" He said, "Muhammad." They said, "Has he been called?" He said, "Yes" They said, "He is welcomed." So the dwellers of the Heaven became pleased with his arrival, and they did not know what Allah would do to the Prophet (ﷺ) on earth unless Allah informed them. The Prophet (ﷺ) met Adam over the nearest Heaven. Gabriel said to the Prophet, "He is your father; greet him." The Prophet (ﷺ) greeted him and Adam returned his greeting and said, "Welcome, O my Son! O what a good son you are!" Behold, he saw two flowing rivers, while he was in the nearest sky. He asked, "What are these two rivers, O Gabriel?" Gabriel said, "These are the sources of the Nile and the Euphrates." Then Gabriel took him around that Heaven and behold, he saw another river at the bank of which there was a palace built of pearls and emerald.

He put his hand into the river and found its mud like musk Adhfar. He asked, "What is this, O Gabriel?" Gabriel said, "This is the Kauthar which your Lord has kept for you." Then Gabriel ascended (with him) to the second Heaven and the angels asked the same questions as those on the first Heaven, i.e., "Who is it?" Gabriel replied, "Gabriel". They asked, "Who is accompanying you?" He said, "Muhammad." They asked, "Has he been sent for?" He said, "Yes." Then they said, "He is welcomed.'' Then he (Gabriel) ascended with the Prophet (ﷺ) to the third Heaven, and the angels said the same as the angels of the first and the second Heavens had said. Then he ascended with him to the fourth Heaven and they said the same; and then he ascended with him to the fifth Heaven and they said the same; and then he ascended with him to the sixth Heaven and they said the same; then he ascended with him to the seventh Heaven and they said the same.On each Heaven there were prophets whose names he had mentioned and of whom I remember Idris on the second Heaven, Aaron on the fourth Heavens another prophet whose name I don't remember, on the fifth Heaven, Abraham on the sixth Heaven, and Moses on the seventh Heaven because of his privilege of talking to Allah directly. Moses said (to Allah), "O Lord! I thought that none would be raised up above me." But Gabriel ascended with him (the Prophet) for a distance above that, the distance of which only Allah knows, till he reached the Lote Tree (beyond which none may pass) and then the Irresistible, the Lord of Honor and Majesty approached and came closer till he (Gabriel) was about two bow lengths or (even) nearer. (It is said that it was Gabriel who approached and came closer to the Prophet. (Fate Al-Bari Page 263, 264, Vol. 17).

Among the things which Allah revealed to him then, was: "Fifty prayers were enjoined on his followers in a day and a night." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) descended till he met Moses, and then Moses stopped him and asked, "O Muhammad ! What did your Lord en join upon you?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied," He enjoined upon me to perform fifty prayers in a day and a night." Moses said, "Your followers cannot do that; Go back so that your Lord may reduce it for you and for them." So the Prophet (ﷺ) turned to Gabriel as if he wanted to consult him about that issue. Gabriel told him of his opinion, saying, "Yes, if you wish." So Gabriel ascended with him to the Irresistible and said while he was in his place, "O Lord, please lighten our burden as my followers cannot do that." So Allah deducted for him ten prayers where upon he returned to Moses who stopped him again and kept on sending him back to his Lord till the enjoined prayers were reduced to only five prayers. Then Moses stopped him when the prayers had been reduced to five and said, "O Muhammad! By Allah, I tried to persuade my nation, Bani Israel to do less than this, but they could not do it and gave it up. However, your followers are weaker in body, heart, sight and hearing, so return to your Lord so that He may lighten your burden." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned towards Gabriel for advice and Gabriel did not disapprove of that. So he ascended with him for the fifth time. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Lord, my followers are weak in their bodies, hearts, hearing and constitution, so lighten our burden." On that the Irresistible said, "O Muhammad!" the Prophet replied, "Labbaik and Sa`daik." Allah said, "The Word that comes from Me does not change, so it will be as I enjoined on you in the Mother of the Book." Allah added, "Every good deed will be rewarded as ten times so it is fifty (prayers) in the Mother of the Book (in reward) but you are to perform only five (in practice)." The Prophet (ﷺ) returned to Moses who asked, "What have you done?" He said, "He has lightened our burden: He has given us for every good deed a tenfold reward." Moses said, "By Allah! I tried to make Bani Israel observe less than that, but they gave it up. So go back to your Lord that He may lighten your burden further." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Moses! By Allah, I feel shy of returning too many times to my Lord." On that Gabriel said, "Descend in Allah's Name." The Prophet (ﷺ) then woke while he was in the Sacred Mosque (at Mecca).

I can imagine the last moments of Jesus' life, with all the faithful followers, annoying as they were, fully believing God would save Him from certain death.
They were probably indignant at Roman authorities, convinced that He had God's grace and the Romans were making an unjust, terrible mistake. I can imagine the loud followers yelling stuff like "just watch and see him be saved!", "You'll regret this when God intervenes!". So much had Jesus to hear those cries, that He probably expected them to occur too, but anxiously and never fully sure if it was really part of God's plan to be saved. He could only hope, and the doubt remained until the crucifixion happened, when everyone silently shut their mouths. Jesus, following the sense of defeat that had invaded everyone else around him, felt the same need to ask 'why' God chose to not save Him, materializing everyone's thoughts in the famous cry directed at the sky. As a way to connect with his followers.

187:5.2. During this hour of approaching death the human mind of Jesus resorted to the repetition of many passages in the Hebrew scriptures, particularly the Psalms. The last conscious thought of the human Jesus was concerned with the repetition in his mind of a portion of the Book of Psalms now known as the twentieth, twenty-first, and twenty-second Psalms. While his lips would often move, he was too weak to utter the words as these passages, which he so well knew by heart, would pass through his mind. Only a few times did those standing by catch some utterance, such as, "I know the Lord will save his anointed," "Your hand shall find out all my enemies," and "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Jesus did not for one moment entertain the slightest doubt that he had lived in accordance with the Father's will; and he never doubted that he was now laying down his life in the flesh in accordance with his Father's will. He did not feel that the Father had forsaken him; he was merely reciting in his vanishing consciousness many Scriptures, among them this twenty-second Psalm, which begins with "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" And this happened to be one of the three passages which were spoken with sufficient clearness to be heard by those standing by.

You guys certainly never went into a biblical college in your childhood. You're lacking SIMPLE knowledge of the Bible claiming that you're the all mightys of biblical context.

People who said that he quote Psalm 22: you're correct. Yes, that's it. But to know WHY did he do that you have to understand the context of what an atonement is in the Jewish/Christian tradition.

When Jesus was in the cross he was bearing all the sins of mankind. Hence, he was a Scapegoat, just as the Old Testament foreshadows. So in this moment God the Father was making the Holy Justice punishing his own sun that decided to come and bear our transgressions that we wouldn't be able to suffer for ourselves. Only a God could pass this trial and only a man must pay for it. That's why Jesus is 100% God/100% Man. So that's why he claims, the same way he says "Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me."

When Christ died on the cross, He really did die. It wasn't an illusion or a fake death. Christ truly did perish. He died in sacrifice of our sinfulness: His life and death demonstrates human sin and the glory of God, and on the cross He carried to His death the weight of all of our sins.

So, why did Christ say this on the cross? Because Christ is God, and we killed Him. When Christ died, the suffering He experienced was MAXIMAL and He experienced every manner of suffering: not just thirst and hunger, not just suffocation and agonizing pain, but shame, ostracization from his friends, pity for his mother, and guilt felt for his murderers. But lastly, He was momentarily forsaken by the Father Himself: the Light of the God was hidden from the Son, as we read in the Gospel:

>From noon on, darkness came over the whole land [or, earth] until three in the afternoon

The sun was blotted out, just as the Light of God was blotted out. I repeat: Jesus really did die. He didn't *wink wink* *nudge nudge* die, knowing with certainty that He was returning to His Father and everything will be okay. He died, fully and completely. We killed Him, fully and completely.

That the Savior felt rejected by God the Father in His death reveals the true extent of the sacrifice He made for you, anons.

>Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we have made him walk? The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. And his name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.

>“And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that this Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.

>God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”

A few things to note: by Israel, we mean the Body of Christian believers. By Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, we typify Faith, Hope, and Charity. As Aquinas notes,

>"Abraham begot Isaac, and Isaac begot Jacob," says, i.e. "faith begets hope, and hope begets charity." But charity is love. Therefore love is caused by hope.

See, Abraham is considered the father of Faith. And "Faith" is a certainty in the fundamental questions of life. Hope is an assured belief in a future good, and this can only come in its pure form when Faith is certain. And when you can Hope in the pure form, then you can experience the Love of God, which motivates all good thought and action. These prophets, Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, demonstrate and represent as symbols faith, hope, and charity respectively.

Now note also a few more things. Why is "walk" so often used as a term in the Bible? Because walking is the optimal method of arriving at a destination over a long period of time. Heaven cannot be reached by sitting and waiting, nor can it be reached by running and sprinting. It is too far to be had by running -- you will tire out. You must walk to righteousness every day. It is a long way away, but with Jesus' yoke, with his rod and staff, it is a walk that every man can perform.

So the Apostles always admonish to walk, not to run. Running is spiritual pride, biting off more than you can chew. Staying put is spiritual despondency, not making the effort to improve yourself in the ways of Christ.

>“Arise, pick up your mat, and walk.”

Arise is the same for "awaken", and the same word for Christ's rising from the dead. Awaken to the greater spiritual reality in front of you. Pick up your mat, because Christ does allow rest and his burden is easy. But walk -- don't run -- walk, consistently and humbly, toward the New Earth.

Now note that Christ commands us to take up and carry our cross. Why? Because Christ's crucifixion isn't just the Great Sacrifice, but it "accomplishes all things". If you can crucify yourself with Christ then you can handle all manner of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual pain. Meditate on the crucifixion! There is no Heaven without crucifixion. No one be improved by God except through crucifixion. We crucify our bodies and our passions, our pride, our sins. We gladly suffer greatly knowing the paradise that awaits us on the other side.

He did mean it though. The Psalm is about a man in deep suffering wondering whether God has forsaken him because of how great he suffers, but his faith rallies and delivers him. It seems likely that Christ experienced the same temptation to despair we all do, and in that moment expressed one of the most profound psalms on the subject. The new testament mentions that Christ experienced temptation as He was fully human, so I really don't understand what you're driving at. Anybody who is going to take it for granted that He died on the cross also takes it for granted He rose again, meaning He didn't renounce God.

The Greek text might have embellished it a little. The Aramaic verb šbq in "l'mah sh'vaqtháni" (lama sabachthani) is a basic word for leaving or forgiving as in "leaving be" or maybe "letting off/go" etc. So "My God, my God, why hast thou left me?"

Christ has been in a long relationship with he Demiurge. At his last moment, after ignoring the devil's evil offerings time and time again, he cries out to him instead, asking why he acts the way he does. It's the first and final peace offering with the devil before he permanently fucks his shit up.
