John the Baptist was asked three questions: “Are you the Christ?”, “Are you

Elijah?” and “Are you the Prophet?” John said he was not Elijah (whose

return was prophesied in Malachi); however, Jesus said John was the Elijah

to come. How do we resolve this apparent contradiction? Also, what is this

reference to “ the Prophet” all about? Does this refer to Mohammad, as

claimed by 1.8 billion Muslims? In this lesson we use the Scriptures to

answer that question, and dismantle one of the central claims of Islam in

the process.
