many fabulous writings spoken of by Luke (i. 1-4). One
of the heresiarchs of a certain sect -whose name has
escaped my memory- actually assumed “Periqleitos”
as his name, pretending to be “the most praiseworthy”
Prophet foretold by Jesus (pbuh) , and had many followers.
If there were an authentic Gospel authorized by Jesus
Christ (pbuh) or by all the Apostles, there could be no such
numerous sects, all opposed to the contents of the books
contained in or outside the existing New Testament. We
can safely infer from the action of the pseudo-Periqlyte
that the early Christians considered the promised “Spirit
of Truth” to be a person and the final Prophet of God.

3. There is not the slightest doubt that by “Periqlyte,”
Muhammad (pbuh) , i.e. Ahmad, is intended. The two names,
one in Greek and the other in Arabic, have precisely the
same signification, and both mean the “most Illustrious and
Praised,” just as “Pneuma” and “Ruh” mean nothing more
or less than “Spirit” in both languages. We have seen that
the translation of the word into “consoler” or “advocate”
is absolutely untenable and wrong. The compound form
of Paraqalon is derived from the verb composed of the
prefix-Para-qalo, but the Periqlyte is derived from the
Peri-qluo. The difference is as clear as anything could be.
Let us examine, then, the marks of the Periqlyte, which
can only be found in Ahmad – Muhammad (pbuh) .

(a) Muhammad (pbuh) alone revealed the whole truth
about God, His unity, religion, and corrected the impious
libels and calumnies written and believed against Himself
and many of His holy servants.

Jesus (pbuh) is reported to have said about Periqlyte
that he is “the Spirit of Truth,” that he “will give
witness” concerning the true nature of Jesus (pbuh) and
of his mission john xiv. 17; xv. 26). In his discourses
and orations, Jesus (pbuh) speaks of the pre-existence of
his own spirit(john viii. 58 xvii. 5, etc.). In the Gospel
