Copper Fly

In Bible Versus Quran, God Will Make Your Sky As Iron, As Copper

The Copper in the Bible

(Verses Leviticus 26:19, Deuteronomy 28:23 and Numbers 21:9)

 

In the Bible, the Lord God says:

1. I will break the pride of your power
2. I will make your heaven as iron; the sky over your head will be copper.
3. I will make your earth as copper, and the earth that is under you shall be iron.

 

In addition, the Bible suggests a noble method to treat a snake bite

Looking at a copper serpent will save the life of the one who has been bitten b a snake.  The Bible says that Moses made a copper serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.

The Copper in the Quran,

 

Verses 55: 33-35 says,

 

O assembly of jinn and men, if you have power) if you are able to penetrate all the extremities of the heavens and the earth, if you are able to break free from regions  of the heavens and the earth; then penetrate them, then break free and flee!

You will never penetrate them; you will not be able to break free except with power.

It should be emphasized that flying in air was man's dream and science fiction; many attempts of man to fly were failed until the Wright brothers in 1903, have invented the first powered, controlled, air airplane.

 

Space exploration, space invasion, is the use of astronomy and space technology to explore outer space, the first Moon landing was attempted by the American Apollo 11 craft on 1969.

However, the Quran is the first book ever which prophesized not only that man would be able to fly but he would be able to explore or invade the space and penetrate the deep layers of the earth.

Then the Quran says: So which of your Lord's favors will you deny?

Against you O humans and jinn, will be unleashed a heat of fire, of smokeless fire, and a flash of brass (copper), without any flame, and you will not be able to seek help, you will not be able to defend yourselves against this, nay, it will drive you to the site of the Gathering.

It is said that this will occur when we emerge from our graves, in the Hereafter.

However, the verse may talk about what could happen when man would have invaded the space or penetrated the deeper layers of the earth; in such cases, it is possible, from the scientific point of view, to be subjected to the flame of fire and flashes of copper. So, the Quran is telling the NASA, take care!

The Bible,

 

Leviticus 26:19

King James Version

19And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass (copper):

 

Deuteronomy 28:23

King James Version

23And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass(copper):, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

 

Numbers 21:9

King James Version

9And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

The Quran,

 

Verses 55: 33-35 (Yusuf Ali translation)

 

33) O ye assembly of jinn and men! If it be ye can pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, pass you! Not without authority (power) shall ye be able to pass!

34) Then which of the favors of your lord will ye deny?

35) On you will be sent (o ye evil ones twain!) a flame of fire (to burn) and a smoke (to choke): no defense will ye have:

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Are the Scholars truthful when they claim that the Quran quoted from the Bible?

In a black, black night, two copper moons?

they sail above a cavern filled with flashing blades,
this night can fly and hunt ahead the forest glades,
when far and wide resounds its fame,
oh what - what, oh, is the black night's name ?
