King Mashiach

    You can trust the Scriptures! Did you know the stuff happening in Israel right now and for the last
few years has all been predicted in the TaNaKh. Written 3500 years ago, and yet the predictions are
coming true in our lifetime! For instance:

 

Yesha’yahu 11:12
12He will raise a banner for the nations and assemble the castaways of Israel; and He will gather in the dispersed ones of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

This refers to the Great Ali HASHEM, happening ever since 1948. There are about 15,000,000 Jewish people in the world today, scattered in 110 countries. But before 1948, it looked impossible for Israel to ever be a Jewish Homeland, because it was occupied by the Arabs and ruled by the British. It's been thought that this verse referred only to the Babylonian captivity, but the Babylonian captivity was local, and never world wide. So, this verse could not have been fulfilled only by Babylon. HASHEM was showing Yesha’yahu that in the last days, the Jewish people would be scattered all over the Earth, and would all be brought back to Israel. This is happening right now. This verse was written about 700 BCE (around 3050).

YIrme'yahu 16:14-15
   
14However, behold — days are coming — the Word of HASHEM when it will no longer be said As HASHEM lives, Who took out the Children of Israel from the land of Egypt,15but rather, As HASHEM lives Who took out the Children of Israel from the land of the North and from all the lands where He scattered them; and I shall return them to their land, which I gave to their forefathers.

This verse refers to the same Ali HASHEM, but predicts the Exodus for Russian Jews. This is a literal miracle in our own lifetime. Just as Pharaoh and Egypt were brought down in our Exodus, so the Soviet Union was brought down so that our people may make Ali HASHEM. Twenty years ago, they would have laughed at you for predicting it.

But HASHEM doesn't just stop with moving Jews from one country to another:

Amos 9:14-15
14I will return the captivity of My people Israel, and they will rebuild desolate cities and settle them; they will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will cultivate gardens and eat their fruits. 15I will plant them upon their land and they will never again be uprooted from their land that I have given them” said HASHEM your God.

 Doesn't this sound like Jerusalem, Tel Aviv-Jaffa and Haifa? Remember the Six Day War?

Yesha’yahu 19:16-17
16On that day Egypt will be like women; it will tremble and fear before the wave of the hand of HASHEM, Master of Legions, which He will wave at it. 17The land of Judah will be a source of fright for Egypt; when anyone mentions it to [Egypt], it will fear, because of the counsel of HASHEM, Master of Legions, that He devises against it.

When the Arabs saw Israeli troops, they got out of their tanks and ran ... from men armed only with rifles. But is HASHEM just moving people and winning wars?

Yesha’yahu 35:1
    
1The wilderness and the wasteland will rejoice over them; the desert will be glad and blossom like a lily.

When the British and the Arabs held Israel, the deserts yielded nothing more than sand and death. Under Jewish hands, the deserts bloom with trees, dates, fruit...And roses. Israel remains a chief exporter of roses. Just as foreseen by Yesha’yahu!

Mishlei 16:4
4Everything HASHEM made, [He made] for His sake, even the evildoer for the day of retribution.

All things include you and me. HASHEM's creation of you was to please Himself. He could have created 10 billion angels who would have just worshipped Him blindly, but He wants us as partners. When we have a personal relationship with HASHEM, it gives us peace, joy, and a meaning for life! If you've ever felt that life was empty and had no meaning, that just means you desire a personal relationship with HASHEM, who honestly wants just that! Why can't we have that relationship with Him?

Yesha’yahu 59:1-2
    
1Surely, the hand of HASHEM hand is not shortened, [preventing Him] from saving, nor is His ear heavy, [preventing Him] from hearing; 2rather, your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your transgressions have caused [Him] to hide [His] countenance from you, from hearing [you].

What does iniquity mean? Sin. What separates us from HASHEM? Sin. How do we overcome our sins? By doing more good mitzvah (deeds) than bad ones?

B’reshit 15:6
6And he trusted in HASHEM, and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.

According to the Torah, did Abraham do more good deeds than bad ones? No it says he "he trusted in HASHEM, and He reckoned it to him as righteousness". What does righteousness mean? Right standing, without sin. How did Abraham become without sin? By good deeds? No, by faith and trusting. So how can we become without sin? The same way — by faith and trusting in HASHEM!

Was Abraham Hebrew or Gentile at this time? He was Gentile — and became a Hebrew through faith and trusting. Abraham was to head a physical and spiritual race; not just physical! But what do you put the faith in? Many people have faith that they're going to win the lottery — and are two dollars broker every week.

Vayikra 17:11
11For the soul of the flesh is in the blood, and I have assigned it for you upon the Altar to provide atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that atones for the soul.

HASHEM commanded us to use blood to make atonement for our sins. What does atonement mean? It means a covering, so that HASHEM will not see any sin in us. For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.

Vayikra 1:5
5He shall slaughter the bull before HASHEM; the sons of Aaron, the Kohen'im, shall bring the blood and throw the blood on the Altar, all around — which is at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

The Sons of Aaron were supposed to sprinkle the blood, at the Temple. The genealogies and the Temple were destroyed in 70 CE by Titus and the Romiyim. Without the Genealogies, we have no way of knowing for sure who are Sons of Aaron, other than family tradition. So, we are not meeting HASHEM's requirements for blood atonement. That means you and I have no way of atonement for our sins, and they remain unforgiven.

Unless HASHEM has provided another way.

Yesha’yahu 52:12-15
12You will not leave in chaos, nor will you go in flight; for HASHEM will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

    13Behold, My servant will succeed; he will be exalted and become high and exceedingly lofty. 14Just as multitudes are astonished over you [saying] “His appearance is too marred to be a man's, and his visage to be human,15so will the many nations exclaim about him, and kings will shut their mouths [in amazement], for they will see that which had never been told to them, and will perceive things they had never head.

Yesha’yahu 53:1-12
    
1Who would believe what we have heard! For whom has the arm of HASHEM been revealed? 2Formerly he grew like a sapling or like a root from arid ground; he had neither form nor grandeur; we saw him, but without such visage that we could desire him. 3He was despised and isolated from men, a man of pains and accustomed to illness. As one from whom we would hide our faces; he was despised, and we had no regard for him. 4But in truth, it was our ills that he bore, and our pains that he carried — but we had regarded him diseased, stricken by God and afflicted! 5He was pained because of our rebellious sins and oppressed through our iniquities; the chastisement upon him was for our benefit. 6We have all strayed like sheep, each of us turning his own way, and HASHEM inflicted upon him the iniquity of us all. 

     7He was persecuted and afflicted, but he did not open his mouth; like a sheep being led to the slaughter or a ewe that is silent before her shearers, he did not open his mouth. 8Now that he has been released from captivity and judgment, who could have imagined such a generation? For he had been removed from the land of the living, an affliction upon them that was my people's sin. 9He submitted himself to his grave like wicked men; and the wealthy [submitted] to his executions, for committing no crime and with no deceit in his mouth.

    10HASHEM desired to oppress him and He afflicted him; if his soul would acknowledge guilt, he would see offspring and live long days and the desire of HASHEMwould succeed in his hand. 11He would see [the purpose] and be satisfied with his soul's distress. With his knowledge My servant will vindicate the Righteous One to multitudes; it is their iniquities that he will carry. 12Therefore, I will assign him a portion from the multitudes and he will divide the mighty as spoils — in return for having poured out his soul for death and being counted among the wicked, for he bore the sin of the multitudes, and prayed for the wicked.

Does this verse refer to a man, or to the Jewish people? According to the Rabbis, it refers to the Jewish people — if so, who are "My People"? If a Messianic age, how does it atone, and how can it have a scarred face? It can only refer to a man. Read the entire verse carefully.  You'll see that it is a man, he is exalted, and his face will be scarred. At least one Rabbi in the Talmud thought this meant the suffering servant would be a leper, because of this verse.

Sanhedrin 98B "Rab said: The world was created only on David's account. Samuel said: On Moshe account; R. Johanan said: For the sake of the Messiah. What is his [the Messiah's] name? — The School of R. Shila said: His name is Shiloh, for it is written, until Shiloh come. The School of R. Yannai said: His name is Yinnon, for it is written, His name shall endure for ever: e'er the sun was, his name is Yinnon. The School of R. Haninah maintained: His name is Haninah, as it is written, Where I will not give you Haninah. Others say: His name is Menahem the son of Hezekiah, for it is written, Because Menahem [`the comforter' ], that would relieve my soul, is far. The Rabbis said: His name is `the leper scholar,' as it is written, Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him a leper, smitten of God, and afflicted."

This suffering servant will sprinkle many nations and make atonement for all with his own blood. It also says that he will be rejected by many of the Jewish people.  Will he be handsome? The TaNaKh says King Saul and King David were handsome, but the suffering servant (identified in the Talmud as the Messiah) "he had no form nor comeliness that we should look at him, there was no countenance that we should desire him".  It says that he is bearing sorrows and griefs; for himself or for us? For us! And our reaction?  We say, "HASHEM is smiting him!"  What do those words "transgressions" and "iniquities" mean? Sins. What does wounded, bruised,  sufferings, injuries mean?   He was punished physically. If you scourge someone (lash someone with a whip with metal tips), what happens to their back? It becomes bloody. So with the Messiahs blood, are we healed. We have atonement. Why do we need atonement? "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and HASHEM has laid on him the iniquity of us all."  We have all sinned, and our sins were laid on the Messiah.

HASHEM has given us other ways to know the Messiah, like:

Mikhah 5:1
    
1Beth-lehemEphrathah —you are too small to be among the thousands of Judah, but from you someone will emerge for Me to be a ruler over Israel; and his origins will be from early times, from days of old.

Who is this speaking about, a person, a people, or a Messianic age? "He who is to be ruler in Israel" can only be King Messiah!

Yesha’yahu 7:14
14Therefore, my Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the maiden will become pregnant and bear a son, and she will name him Immanuel.

The word translated as "sign" is the Hebrew word "oth" which would be better translated miracle.  A young woman giving birth is not a miracle, but if it was a virgin, that would be a miracle.  In 200 BCE (3720) the Rabbis translated in the Septuagint "Alma" meaning young girl to mean "Parthenos", virgin. Alma in Hebrew always carries the connotation of virgin. How can a virgin give birth? If HASHEM can create an entire universe from nothing, He can certainly cause a virgin to give birth!

Yesha’yahu 9:5(6)
5(6)For a child has been born to us, a son has been given to us, and the dominion will rest on his shoulder, Wondrous Adviser, Mighty God, Eternal Father, called his name Sar-shalom [Prince of Peace]; 

Is this a person?  Or a Messianic age? How does a Messianic age have a shoulder? How can a Messianic age counsel anything? This can only be King Messiah!

Mizmor 22:15-19(14-18)
15(14)I am poured out like water, and all my bones became disjointed; my heart is like wax, melted within my innards. 16(15)My strength is dried up like baked clay, and my tongue cleaves to my palate; in the dust of death You set me down. 17(16)For dogs have surrounded me; a pack of evildoers has enclosed me, like [the prey of] a lion and are my hands and my feet. 18(17)I can count all my bones; they look on and gloat over me. 19(18)They divide my garments among themselves, and cast lots for my clothing.

When someone is crucified, what happens to them? Their bones dislocate, and they sweat profusely. They divide the Messiah's clothes among them.

And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart. Is it not, they said, an a fortiori argument? If in the future when they will be engaged in mourning and the Evil Inclination will have no power over them, the Torah nevertheless says, men separately and women separately, how much more so now when they are engaged in rejoicing and the Evil Inclination has sway over them.

What is the cause of the mourning [mentioned in the last cited verse]? — R. Dosa and the Rabbis differ on the point. One explained, The cause is the slaying of Messiah the son of Joseph, and the other explained, The cause is the slaying of the Evil Inclination.

It is well according to him who explains that the cause is the slaying of Messiah the son of Joseph, since that well agrees with the Scriptural verse, And they shall look upon me because they have thrust him through, and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only son; but according to him who explains the cause to be the slaying of the Evil Inclination, is this [it may be objected] an occasion for mourning? Is it not rather an occasion for rejoicing? Why then should they weep? — [The explanation is] as R. Judah expounded: In the time to come the Holy One, blessed be He, will bring the Evil Inclination and slay it in the presence of the righteous and the wicked. To the righteous it will have the appearance of a towering hill, and to the wicked it will have the appearance of a hair thread. Both the former and the latter will weep; the righteous will weep saying, `How were we able to overcome such a towering hill!' The wicked also will weep saying, `How is it that we were unable to conquer this hair thread!' And the Holy One, blessed be He, will also marvel together with them, as it is said, Thus saith HASHEM of Hosts, If it be marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, it shall also be marvelous in My eyes. R. Assi stated, The Evil Inclination is at first like the thread of a spider, but ultimately becomes like cart ropes, as it is said, Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart-rope.

Sukkah 52A Our Rabbis taught, The Holy One, blessed be He, will say to the Messiah, the son of David (May he reveal himself speedily in our days!), `Ask of me anything, and I will give it to thee', as it is said, I will tell of the decree etc. this day have I begotten thee, ask of me and I will give the nations for thy inheritance. But when he will see that the Messiah the son of Joseph is slain, he will say to Him, `L-rd of the Universe, I ask of Thee only the gift of life'. ' As to life', He would answer him, `Your father David has already prophesied this concerning you', as it is said, He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, [even length of days for ever and ever].

The Talmud identifies Yesha’yahu 53 as the suffering servant, and further identifies Messiah son of Joseph as the suffering servant, and Messiah son of David as the coming king. What if instead of two messiahs, there was to be one Messiah, coming twice? First to come as Messiah son of Joseph, to atone for our sins, die, and resurrect, then to come again at the end of days as King Messiah, Messiah son of David?

Is there any Jew in history that can match all of these prophecies? According to Dani'el :

Dani'el 9:24-26
24Seventy septets1 have been decreed upon your people and upon your holy city to terminate transgression, to end sin, to wipe away iniquity, to bring everlasting righteousness, to confirm the visions and prophets, and to anoint the Holy of Holies. 25Know and comprehend: From the emergence of the word to return and to build Jerusalem until the anointment of the prince [Messiah] will be seven septets2 and for sixty-two septets it will be rebuilt, street and mote, but in troubled times. 26Then after the sixty-two septets, the anointed one [Messiah] will be cut off and will exist no longer; the people of the prince will come will destroy the city and the Sanctuary; but his end will be [to be swept away as] in a flood. Then, until the end of the war, desolation is decreed.

The Anointed One, (the Messiah), shall be cut off (karat — Killed), 483 years after the command to rebuild Jerusalem. This brings us to between 30-33 CE (3780-83). There is only one man who fits these, and over 500 other predictions — Yeshua of Netzaret. No other person in history has fulfilled more than a few.

If you are still unsure, pray this prayer: "Hashem, Eloheim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, show me the truth about Yeshua of Netzaret. Help me to understand!" If you pray this prayer with kavanah (faith and pure intention), HASHEM will answer you. What do you have to lose?

If you believe, please pray this: "HASHEM, I have sinned against you, and I repent of my sins and transgressions. Messiah Yeshua, I confess with my mouth that you are the promised Messiah and I believe in my heart that HASHEM has raised you from the dead. If now I have found mercy in Your sight, HASHEM, let my Lord, I pray, walk with me, even though I am a stiff-necked person; and pardon my iniquity and my sin, and take me as Your inheritance. Please come into my life, and cleanse me with your blood of atonement. Thank you for doing this according to Your Word. I'll do anything you want me to, with your help. I really mean it, HASHEM! In the name of our blessed Messiah Yeshua, Amen."

If you prayed this prayer, then your sins are atoned for. Please E-mail me if so, or if you have any more questions.

1 Dani'el 9:24. Literally "seventy weeks", this phrase refers to seventy times seven years, or 490 years. This refers to the seventy years of exile that have passed from the Destruction of the First Temple until this vision, and the entire 420 year period of the Second Temple (Rashi).

2 Dani'el 9:24. The "septets" refer to full seven-year periods. The prince of this verse is Cyrus, who gave permission to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple. He ascended to the throne fifty-two years (seven full septets plus three years) after the exile had begun. From then until the second destruction of Jerusalem was 438 years, or sixty-two septets and four years (Rashi).
