1. Why did Shaytan (Iblis) fall?
• The "fall" is a punishment. It is not unique to Shaytan:
• All the fallen angels and the scapegoat (Azazel) share this fate of being thrown down, cast out, or sent into the wilderness to die.
• The scapegoat in Leviticus 16 was pushed off a cliff bearing the sins of the people.
• This is the same language used for Shaytan's judgment: "He was cast down from heaven".
• Shaytan's temptation of Jesus also ties to this:
• In Matthew 4:6, Shaytan told Jesus: "Throw yourself down from the pinnacle of the Temple, for it is written…"—trying to force a fall.
• Jesus refused because, as Revelation 19:11 says, "Faithful and True" is written on His forehead: He will not fall.
• The fall vs being uplifted:
• Jesus is uplifted—He rises from the dead and ascends to heaven.
• In Islam, Allah explicitly says in Qur'an 4:158:
• "بَلْ رَفَعَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا"
• "Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise."
• Shaytan is thrown down; Judas is made to fall headlong (Acts 1:18).
• Enoch and Elijah, by contrast, were taken up alive into heaven as a sign of righteousness.
• This pattern also appears in Islam:
• Muslims are promised to be brought up to heaven, while those they deem guilty (Jews and Christians) will be sent down to hell in their place, echoing the reversal of who is uplifted and who is cast down.

2. What about the two goats in Hindu mythology: Shiva and Daksha?
• Hindu mythology also shows two goats with different purposes, echoing the archetypes:
a) Shiva – the sacrificial Goat
• Shiva, called Maha Kaal (literally "Great Time," the Greatest of All Time), becomes the sacrificial goat (for God's justice) in this story.
• Or rather, this reflects the Shiva-man incarnated who suffers the loss of his wife through the acts of the Baphomet-like Daksha. (Don't take this part too literally; it is a phonetic resemblance between "Shiva" and "Chiva," meaning "goat" in Spanish.)
• Daksha, the father of Shiva's wife Sati, humiliates and dishonors her at a great assembly. Out of grief and shame, Sati sacrifices her life.
• Shiva bears the sin and loss: he loses his beloved divine wife because of Daksha's arrogance and rebellion.
• This suffering places Shiva in the role of the sacrificial goat (to the Lord / God): enduring loss and grief on behalf of the sins of another.
b) Daksha – the rebel goat
• Daksha becomes the mirror image: the goat-headed rebel.
• After causing his daughter's death, Shiva decapitates Daksha in righteous judgment.
• Yet, in mercy, Shiva restores Daksha to life by placing a goat's head (Chiva, "goat" in Spanish) on his body.
• This humiliation marks Daksha as the goat-headed adversary, permanently scarred for his rebellion.
c) The parallel with Baphomet
• Goat-headed Baphomet, a symbol used by those who oppose or invert God's order, mirrors Daksha:
• Both represent rebellion, pride, and separation from the Divine.
• Shiva, by contrast, is the suffering goat, the one who loses what is most precious because of the sin of another—just as the scapegoat in Leviticus was sacrificed to the Lord (God / Shiva?) for the sins of the people.

3. Why did Sarah banish Hagar and Ishmael to die in the desert?
• After Isaac, the promised son, was born, Sarah feared Hagar's child would inherit with Isaac.
• She ordered Abraham to cast out Hagar and Ishmael into the wilderness (Genesis 21).
• Notice the caveat: she banishes one child and his mother to the desert to die, and her entire race of descendants later on would face the same exile and threat of death.
• This corroborates with the Torah, Bible, and Qur'an teaching that "he who kills one person kills all mankind" (Qur'an 5:32): there is no difference between trying to kill the father of all Muslims and destroying the entirety of Jewishdom.
• Sarah's act reveals a deep contradiction:
• She had first asked for Ishmael to be born. Then she decided he must die.
• This is the same matricidal impulse attributed to Lilith: "I was born only to kill the children that are not my own."
• This is why, spiritually, Sarah's shift represents the same impulse as Lilith, Hera (who tormented Heracles), and Kaikeyi (mother of Vishnu's Rama-avatar) who sent her own child into exile.
• The consequence:
• Women's words bring life and death. Sarah's initial command ("be born") gave Ishmael life through Abraham, just as God's Word gives life.
• But her second command ("now die") was an attempt to take back what was no longer hers.
• This self-contradiction is the very nature of Shaytan—covetous, grasping, and seeking dominion.
• This is why they are later described as the synagogue of Shaytan:
• Seeking to destroy their own brothers to claim the world for themselves.
• And yet, paradoxically, they are also the children of God, because their origin came from a selfless verbal command:
• Sarah's initial command to bring life made her like Lilith before the fall, queen-like, and thus God rewarded her with Isaac.
• But when she turned and sought death for what she had birthed, she fell into the curse of Lilith.

4. Why did Israel end up enslaved in Egypt?
• Egypt was Hagar's land.
• Sarah's descendants suffered the same death sentence she imposed on Hagar and Ishmael:
• Just as she condemned the daughter of Egypt and her son, Israel became slaves in Egypt, on the brink of annihilation.
• In other words, Egypt had his daughter (Hagar) arrive as a slave; this was simply reversed.
• "You take my son, I take yours: eye for an eye."
• It's like firing the slave-kings—to leave the position open, now her children had to become slave-kings, tasting the same degradation they inflicted.
• This is a karmic reversal: the descendants reap the consequences of ancestral actions.
⸻
5. Why did God liberate Israel from Egypt through Moses?
• This is the true sequence of events:
1. Sarah tells Hagar and Ishmael to go die in the desert. Ishmael's life was of her command, like God and His Word Jesus. A mother has the right of life and death over her children. She chose death for a child who had another mother—this was not good.
2. God spares Ishmael. But justice requires a life must still be paid.
3. God then chooses Isaac: Abraham is told to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham obeys again.
4. God spares Isaac. Now two people have been spared: Ishmael and Isaac.
5. A lamb is killed instead. This is the first true innocent being killed, for the lamb also had parents.
• He is slain, the final innocent substitute—the Lamb.
• Jesus is the 2nd sacrifice for the 2nd life spared (that of Isaac).
• There is thus the trium or karmic trinity of Jesus, Isaac, and God; or the Lamb, Ishmael, and God.
• These are not the same as the Trinitarian unity of Jesus, Holy Spirit, and God, but are connected karmically, much like first-born sons across different families hold equivalent roles without being the same person.
• Here the roles are: those saved (Ishmael and Isaac) and those sacrificed (the Lamb and Jesus)—each mirroring the other in justice and mercy.
• This sequence sets up the pattern fulfilled by Jesus:
• Jesus in the world has no earthly father, only God.
• He is slain, the final innocent substitute—the Lamb.
• The same angel that saved Ishmael is sent to announce Jesus' birth.
• That same angel (Gabriel) later gives the Qur'an to the people.
• Al-Haqq (The Truth) is revealed in all three events:
• Al-Haqq saves Ishmael in the desert.
• Al-Haqq saves Isaac by providing the Lamb.
• Al-Haqq saves Jesus Christ by uplifting Him unto God and sparing Him from earthly demise (Qur'an 4:158).
• Al-Haqq, Al-Haqq, Al-Haqq—the Truth, the power of the Word over what man thinks is right:
• This is the essence of The Holy Qur'an.
⸻
6. Why did Jesus go to Egypt as a child?
• Because Sarah had once cast the daughter of Egypt, Hagar, to die in the desert.
• God sent His Son into Egypt, retracing Israel's steps:
• Healed the wound of Sarah's rejection.
• Fulfilled the karmic loop: the curse of mothers who give life and then take it away was reversed.
• Jesus' presence in Egypt undoes this curse: He carries God's presence where destruction had been commanded, reversing it completely.
⸻
7. Why did God ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac?
• To complete the divine justice of the sequence: Ishmael spared, Isaac spared, and finally the Lamb offered to pay the cost of sin.
⸻
9. What about Judas and his death?
• Judas was not "the betrayer" by nature: he was a man, but the spirit of the betrayer (Shaytan) was inside of him, and Shaytan has Azazel within himself.
• This is why Judas' actions mirror the scapegoat's fate:
• Like the goat driven out and cast off a cliff, Judas carried the guilt and was violently destroyed.
• In Matthew 27:5, he hanged himself.
• In Acts 1:18, he "fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out," exactly paralleling the scapegoat's fate when thrown from the cliff.
⸻
10. How does Judas' fall parallel the pattern of exile and baptism?
• This parallels Jesus' 40 days in the desert and the Jews' 40 years in the desert: both were tests in exile.
• Both Judas and the Jewish people are children of God, but one God loves (Jesus) and the other He does not love in the same way (the Jews).
• God makes this distinction clear at Jesus' baptism:
• "Behold, my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
• Jesus, born of the Jewish bloodline of backstabbing, envious people, comes to be removed from the sin of Shaytan through the baptism of water (by John).
• Immediately God sends Him the Holy Spirit.
• Jesus dies in baptism and is reborn with the flame of the Holy Spirit, divine and free of Shaytan's stain.
• This is the model for Christians: die like Jesus in baptism and be reborn of the Holy Spirit—the speaker of Truth—not Shaytan, who is of fire and air but immature and learning.
⸻
11. Why does Islam say Jesus didn't die but someone else died in his place?
• The answer is found in the meaning of Yom Kippur: the sins are transferred.
• Jesus was innocent but, like the Lamb that spared Isaac, He indeed died.
• This fulfills both Christianity and Islam:
• Christianity: Jesus died, went to hell for three days, and was brought back to life, as the Scriptures teach.
• Islam: It was made to be seen as if He was saved because the Lord did save Him—He was descended from Isaac and fulfilled the promises. Allah says:
• "بَلْ رَفَعَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا"
• "Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise." (Qur'an 4:158)
• Jesus' death was not failure: it was the Word of God fulfilling His promises.
• The Lamb dies to spare Isaac, and Jesus, the final Lamb, died but was brought back to life, breaking the cycle once and for all.
⸻
12. Why does Revelation show the Lamb "slain yet alive"?
• Because Jesus is the final fulfillment:
• He did die (as Christianity says) and He was also brought back alive (as Islam intuits).
• He appears slain yet alive (Revelation 5:6) because death itself was undone.
• God's Word never fails: the descendant of Isaac was spared eternally, while also laying down His life to redeem mankind.
⸻
13. Why do Hindu myths of Daksha and Ganesha also fit?
• Daksha (rebel) is beheaded and given a goat's head: the archetypal scapegoat.
• Ganesha, the beloved child, is slain by Shiva but restored and enthroned: the beloved son archetype.
• These myths reflect the same cycle of guilt, exile, and death vs innocence, sacrifice, and restoration.
⸻
14. Why is Jesus called the "G.O.A.T." (Greatest of All Time)?
• Because He ends the entire karmic cycle:
• Innocent yet allowed to die.
• Appears slain but is alive forever.
• Breaks every ancestral chain (Ishmael, Israel, Judas, Azazel, Shaytan, Daksha).
• In Him, the Goat (exile, rebellion) and the Lamb (innocence, beloved) archetypes are fully reconciled.
