( تِلْكَ..) (These…): It is demonstrative pronoun for the far.

So, all the stories of the people who fled in thousand fearing death, Saul, Goliath, David … and so on…

(… آيَاتُ اللَّهِ نَتْلُوهَا عَلَيْكَ بِالْحَقِّ..  ) (...the verses of Allah which We recite to you….): To recite means to read word by word. This is the manner in which we recite the Holy Qur’an, word by word. And Allah (swt) does not say: ‘the stories of Allah we recite to you’ but rather (…the verses of Allah which We recite to you….) because the word of the Holy Qur’an are verses, and verse, in turn are defined as miracles in Arabic. Thus, each word of the Holy Quran is miraculous. And you do not read the Quranic stories as normal stories but as verses. This is the difference between the Quranic stories and human stories which normally have elements such as the characters, date, time among others. The Quranic stories, on the other hand, are verses, miraculous, and the Holy Quran is miraculous in its wording, discourse, letters … in everything. Allah (swt) addresses Prophet Muhammad (saws) here, truth, for its part, refers to a perfect thing that has no deficiency and cannot be changed or altered, and that’s why (swt) says:

 {وَبِالْحَقِّ أَنزَلْنَاهُ وَبِالْحَقِّ نَزَلَ }

(And with the truth We have sent the Qur’an down, and with the truth it has descended.)  (Al-Israa: 105)

(… وَإِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ) (….And indeed, you are from among the messengers.): Allah (swt) here addresses Prophet Muhammad (saws) telling him -after informing him on the clear miraculous verses, the signs, the chest which came with the staff of Moses in it among other miracles that happened: (….And indeed, you are from among the messengers.), that is; we would not have told you all of these verse if you would not have been among the messengers, and a carrier of a message. Which message is that? It’s the final and the most inclusive message to humanity in all. Former messages were revealed to certain people at certain times, except the message of Muhammad which is meant for all people at all times, so it’s a mercy:

 {وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ }

(And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.)  (Al-Anbiyaa: 107)
