The Garden of GETSHEMANE, Israel

Setelah selesai mengunjungi Betlehem (Nativity Church) dan Goa Makpela (kuburan Abraham dan keluarga), cuaca saat itu agak dingin berangin, sore hari kita menuju Taman Getsemani merupakan tempat dimana Yesus seringkali berada disana untuk berdoa. Pohon zaitun (see picture below) yang ada di taman diperkirakan sudah berusia 2000 tahun bahkan ada yang 3000 tahun. Pohon ini menjadi saksi sejarah penghianatan Yudas. Gereja Getsemani ( Basilica of the Agony/ Gereja Segala Bangsa) dibangun ditempat dimana Yesus berdoa agar penderitaanNya dapat dilakukan oleh Bapa. Di dalam gereja, didepan altar ada batu dimana dipercayai disanalah Yesus berdoa dan kita mendapat kesempatan untuk berdoa di batu karang itu.





























Gereja megah ini adalah gereja Getsemani ( Church of all Nation / Basilica of Agony)

  1. Prophet Muhammad Himself was not sure once He died would enter The Heaven or not (Surah 46-AL AHQAAF-9), that's why in Surah-33 AL AHZAB-56 by appointing to GOD and HIS Angels orders, Muhammad ordered His followers to pray for His body to be saved in Heaven in the form of what is called SHALAWAT FOR Prophet Muhammad, These meant that Muhammad has ignored whether His followers, they who were everyday praying for His salvation at least 5 times a day, will go to heaven or not.
    Contrary to Prophet Isa Al-Masih / Jesus Christ, He has never ordered His followers to pray for His salvation, instead He has guaranted salvation for His followers (John 17:1-26).
