Bible Versus Quran Versus Sciences, (28) the Horse

The Horses are mentioned in the Bible 175 times and in the Quran three times, i.e., the Bible cites the Horses 58 times more than the Quran does.

Furthermore, the total words of the Bible are 788,280 while the total words of the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible has the likely of more than 10 times than the Quran word-wise to talk about the Horses. In addition, the Bible has the prospective of more than 58 times than the Quran topic-wise to utter about the Horses.

The Horses in the Bible:

What the Lord says about the Horses?

• I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured Horses.

• I will destroy your Horses from among you

• I will strike every Horse with panic and its rider with madness

• I will blind all the Horses of the nations.

The LORD will bring a terrible plague on your Horses and donkeys

Horses of fire

The Horses are fiercer than wolves

Jeremiah 4:13

His Horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! We are ruined!

At the sound of Horsemen and archers every town takes to flight. Some go into the thickets; some climb up among the rocks. All the towns are deserted; no one lives in them.

How to make Horses obedient?

The power of the Horses was in their mouths and in their tails

The power of the Horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.

Examples of the Mercy:

Blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the Horses' bridles

Revelation 14:20

They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the Horses' bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.

[The Rider on the White Horse] I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white Horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.

The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white Horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the Horse and his army.

Revelation 19:21

The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the Horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

The Horses in the Quran:

Surah 3:14

Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: women and sons; heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; Horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (to return to).

Allah made man love women, sons, gold, silver; Horses, cattle, and well-tilled land. This meaning of inherited human behavior and tradition is not mentioned in the Bible.

Surah 8:60

Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the Cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.

This is a prophylactic verse to prevent wars between nations.

Be ready with all of your power, and then your enemies will be afraid of you.

No doubt that USA is the first country following this verse.

Surah 16:8

And (He has created) Horses, mules, and donkeys, for you to ride and use for show; and He Creates (other) things of which ye have no knowledge.

Allah Creates what we do not know.

This verse preceded the sciences at any time, now and in the future.
