Jesus is the Hebrew Messiah

Jesus is the Hebrew Messiah

"I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen

like you,

and I will put My words in His mouth,

and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.

It shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words

which He shall speak in My name,

I Myself will require it of him"

-Deuteronomy 18:18-19

In order to know the identity and timing of the arrival of Messiah, we must understand the purpose for His arrival, which can be found throughout Scripture.

The Hebrew Scriptures are rife with explicit and implicit Messianic Prophesies. The Messiah was not only foretold as one who would be the bearer of Gods words but also be the bearer of man's sins. The Torah, the Writings and the Prophets are full of both explicit and implied Messianic Prophesies that point to this reality.

In order to properly understand such prophesies, we must understand them as they were meant to be understood. The stories of the patriarchs were full of Messianic meaning, from the story of Adam and Eve to the story of Abraham and Isaac to the story of Moses and the Passover. We will visit the meanings of these stories in combination of the explicit prophesies to uncover the ultimate purpose of Messiah and use His own words to bring to light the meaning of the Old Testament metaphors.

Let’s begin with the greatest example of them all, as the beginning contains both the ultimate meaning of the Sacrifice of Messiah with the story of human self-righteousness. This is ultimately the story of salvation in full.

Adam and Eve:

The story goes right back to the beginning. When God made man He made him for His own glory and for fellowship with Himself. Man enjoyed a pure, unfallen world and a perfect bride. He was given dominion over the world, and was allowed to eat from every tree except one.

"The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” Genesis 2:16-17

However, Eve was deceived by the serpent to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Through 3 things she was enticed: “When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate”

So what came from this? Man desired to be independent from God. He decided to disobey God by directly violating the command, incurring the righteous judgement that God promised: “in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” Gen. 2:16

But God, out of His magnificent love, designed a way to restore them. He promised the coming of a redeemer, a hero, who would crush the serpent; “And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.” Genesis 3:15. Notice seed is singular, notice also the hero would incur a bruise through this triumph.

Man was aware of his shortfall in the presence of God and went about making leaves as a way of covering his nakedness. But God knew the covering as insufficient, and instead designed them coverings from an animal skin. What this implies is that God killed an animal and clothed Adam and Eve with the skin of the animal. It was designed to reveal 2 things: man’s covering is insufficient[self-righteousness], and God would cover man’s need Himself by shedding the blood of an innocent one. This came to be foretold through the sacrificial system setup in Vayikra (Leviticus) “In fact, according to the Torah, almost everything is purified with blood; indeed, without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins” (Hebrews 9:22) this meaning was ultimately fulfilled by God’s Messiah, God’s own sacrifice - Yeshua – known by many as Jesus Christ.

“The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.” Genesis 3:21

So begins the very heart of the teaching of Scripture, revealed in the very first story that involves man. God made man, man disobeyed and desired to be separate from God by mistrust, man recognizes his need and covers himself insufficiently, and God provides adequate covering Himself by shedding the innocent blood of a substitute as covering. All found within the very first few verses of Holy Scripture.

Let’s visit some other stories briefly that also explain these ideas:

We may be able to find the most vivid example in the story of Abraham and Isaac. God gave Abraham a son in his old age, and then told Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. This story illustrates the great compassion of God, and embodies the idea of substitutionary sacrifice. Let’s visit the text (found in Genesis 22):

“Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance. Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.” Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together.

Then they came to the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the Lord it will be provided.”

Notice how the text provides clues as to the meaning of the story. The story is about faith. Even before the act was about to be committed Abraham believed that God would provide the offering Himself, saying: “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” (8). Just as Abraham was about to make the sacrifice himself, God stopped him. The Lord showed Abraham how that even though he was required to give up all he held dear it was insufficient, for God had provided Himself the Sacrifice as Abraham had believed.

So now imagine that Abraham is hearing this from the Angel of the Lord, and as he is hearing what God is revealing “Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns” (13). The Ram, an innocent being caught in the thicket by his own horns. In the ancient Middle East the horn has always been the symbol for power. So this animal was caught in the thicket, likely thorny, by his own horns. This symbolizes the coming Messiah and the story of the fall in many ways. One that the human sacrifice was insufficient, God had to provide the sacrifice. Two was that there was the innocent animal substituted in the place of the guilty. Three was that through its own power the animal was caught in the thicket. Four is the thicket represents the curse of God found in Genesis 3:18, a curse the Messianic hero takes Himself. He bore the curse, and the symbol of that curse is found in a crown of thorns that the roman soldiers placed on Jesus before His crucifixion. This points to the fact the Messiah is destined to pay the penalty of the righteous wrath of God and bears the symbol of God’s righteous curse upon mankind, and even bears the symbol of that curse upon His own head.

Now we could visit the story of Passover in Exodus 12 where the Passover Lamb represents the blood sacrifice of Messiah and God declares “when I see the blood I will pass over you” (13). We could also visit Moses and the Serpent in Numbers 21, where poisonous vipers bite the Israelites and Moses is told “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live.” (8-9). There are many others in the Old Testament to illustrate through metaphor or word pictures how the Messiah was necessarily the payment for our sins. But I think the following explicit Prophesy, found in Isaiah 53 and written more than 700 years B.C., develops this idea in detail best:

“Who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.”

“Surely our griefs He Himself bore,
And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten of God, and afflicted.
But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.”

“He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of the living
For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a rich man in His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.”

“But the Lord was pleased
To crush Him, putting Him to grief;
If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,
He will see His offspring,
He will prolong His days,
And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
As a result of the anguish of His soul,
He will see it and be satisfied;
By His knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will bear their iniquities.
Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out Himself to death,
And was numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.” – Isaiah 53

There is nothing that we can say that will exceed that. We will visit more prophesies and how they could only have been fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth in more detail in order to address specific questions. Please see the first century argument that Jesus is Messiah from a Jewish Christian in The book of Hebrews https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=hebrews+1-13&version=CJB God uses the author to explain the Jewish Messiah better than I ever could.

Now consider a few other compelling arguments we will make explicitly. First the teaching then the events of His life.

His teaching emphasized man’s inability to reach God on his own, and revealed the Law applied to the motives of the human heart and not only to action. Messiah also taught that a man must be born again. These revelations were predicted by the Old Testament.

“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:31-34

Jesus [Yeshua] explained this transformation in detail in the most insightful sermon in human history:

“There was a man among the P’rushim[Pharisees], named Nakdimon[Nicodemus], who was a ruler of the Judeans. This man came to Yeshua by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know it is from God that you have come as a teacher; for no one can do these miracles you perform unless God is with Him.” “Yes, indeed,” Yeshua answered him, “I tell you that unless a person is born again from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

Nakdimon said to Him, “How can a grown man be ‘born’? Can he go back into his mother’s womb and be born a second time?” Yeshua answered, “Yes, indeed, I tell you that unless a person is born from water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. What is born from the flesh is flesh, and what is born from the Spirit is spirit. Stop being amazed at my telling you that you must be born again from above! The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it’s going. That’s how it is with everyone who has been born from the Spirit.”

Nakdimon replied, “How can this happen?” Yeshua answered him, “You hold the office of teacher in Isra’el, and you don’t know this? Yes, indeed! I tell you that what we speak about, we know; and what we give evidence of, we have seen; but you people don’t accept our evidence! If you people don’t believe Me when I tell you about the things of the world, how will you believe Me when I tell you about the things of heaven? No one has gone up into heaven; there is only the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. Just as Moshe [Moses] lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but rather so that through Him, the world might be saved. Those who trust in Him are not judged; those who do not trust have been judged already, in that they have not trusted in the one who is God’s only and unique Son.

“Now this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light. Why? Because their actions were wicked. For everyone who does evil things hates the light and avoids it, so that his actions won’t be exposed. But everyone who does what is true comes to the light, so that all may see that his actions are accomplished through God.” John 3:1-21

This is also reminiscent of the Lord teaching the New Covenant in Ezekiel 36:

“I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God. And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses” Ezekiel 36:25-29

To find more of Jesus’ teachings in detail, refer to Matthew 5-7 in the most famous sermon in human history, called “The Sermon on the Mount” here: Let’s just say it finishes like this:

“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that sums up the teaching of the Torah and the Prophets.

“Go in through the narrow gate; for the gate that leads to destruction is wide and the road broad, and many travel it; but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (7:12-14)

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do what My Father in heaven wants. On that Day, many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord! Didn’t we prophesy in Your name? Didn’t we expel demons in Your name? Didn’t we perform many miracles in Your name?’ Then I will tell them to their faces, ‘I never knew you! Get away from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’

“So, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on bedrock. The rain fell, the rivers flooded, the winds blew and beat against that house, but it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on rock. But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the rivers flooded, the wind blew and beat against that house, and it collapsed — and its collapse was horrendous!”

When Yeshua had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at the way He taught, for He was not instructing them like their Torah-teachers but as one who had authority Himself.” Matthew [Levi] 7:21-29

Remember: “I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. It shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words which He shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him” Deut. 18:18-20

One is also to carefully consider the timing and arrangement of the arrival of the Messiah. His birthplace, the surrounding events and the subsequent prophetic destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.

First is the birthplace, prophetically foretold in Micah 5:2

“But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Too little to be among the clans of Judah,
From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel.
His goings forth are from long ago,
From the days of eternity.” – Micah 5:2

Compare to Bethlehem birth stories found in Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2.

Born of a virgin:

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14

Compare to virgin birth in Luke 1:26-38, Matthew 1:18-25

Yeshua [Jesus] is known throughout the world for His wisdom, healing, parables, and perfect life. See corresponding prophesies in Isaiah 11:2, 49:6, 53:9. Psalm 78:2.

Yeshua, as Messiah, enters Jerusalem to purge it while the Second Temple was standing:

“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
He is just and endowed with salvation,
Humble, and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Zechariah 9:9

“For zeal for Your house has consumed me,
And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.” Psalm 69:9

“And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,” says the Lord of hosts.” Malachi 3:1

“After saying this, Yeshua went on and began the ascent to Yerushalayim[Jerusalem]. As He approached Beit-Pagei and Beit-Anyah, by the Mount of Olives, he sent two talmidim, instructing them, “Go into the village ahead; on entering it, you will find a colt tied up that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks why you are untying it, tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’” Those who were sent went off and found it just as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” and they said, “Because the Lord needs it.” They brought it to Yeshua; and, throwing their robes on the colt, they put Yeshua on it. As He went along, people carpeted the road with their clothing; and as He came near Yerushalayim, where the road descends from the Mount of Olives, the entire band of talmidim began to sing and praise God at the top of their voices for all the powerful works they had seen:

“Blessed is the King who is coming in the name of Adonai!”

“Shalom in heaven!”

And “Glory in the highest places!”.

Some of the P’rushim in the crowd said to Him, “Rabbi! Reprimand your talmidim!” But He answered them, “I tell you that if they keep quiet, the stones will shout!”

‘When Yeshua had come closer and could see the city, He wept over it, saying, “If you only knew today what is needed for shalom! But for now it is hidden from your sight. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will set up a barricade around you, encircle you, hem you in on every side, and dash you to the ground, you and your children within your walls, leaving not one stone standing on another — and all because you did not recognize your opportunity when God offered it!”

Then Yeshua entered the Temple grounds and began driving out those doing business there, saying to them, “The Tanakh says, ‘My House is to be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it into a den of robbers!”

Every day He taught at the Temple. The head cohanim, the Torah-teachers and the leaders of the people tried to find a way of putting an end to him; but they couldn’t find any way of doing it, because all the people were hanging onto His every word.” Luke 19:28-48 (CJB)

Jesus was afterward betrayed by a friend for 30 pieces of silver. According to the prophesy found in Zechariah 11:12-13 cf. Matt. 27:1-7

Messiah was rejected by the leaders of Israel, condemned, mocked, beaten, and executed by crucifixion according to the plan of God.

“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone.
This is the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.” Psalm 118:22

And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.” Genesis 3:15

“the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing” Daniel 9:26

“By oppression and judgment He was taken away” Isaiah 53:8

‘For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
They pierced My hands and My feet;
I can count all My bones.
They look and stare at Me.
They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.” -Psalm 22:16

“Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd,
And against the man, My Associate,”
Declares the Lord of hosts.
“Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered;
And I will turn My hand against the little ones.” -Zechariah 13:7

Consider the striking parallels found in Mark 15:12-38

“Pilate again said to them, “Then what should I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” They shouted back, “Put him to death on the stake!” He asked, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they only shouted louder, “Put him to death on the stake!” So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the mob, set Bar-Abba free for them; but he had Yeshua whipped and then handed Him over to be executed on the stake.

The soldiers led Him away inside the palace (that is, the headquarters building) and called together the whole battalion. They dressed Him in purple and wove thorn branches into a crown, which they put on Him. Then they began to salute him, “Hail to the King of the Jews!” They hit Him on the head with a stick, spat on him and kneeled in mock worship of Him. When they had finished ridiculing Him, they took off the purple robe, put His own clothes back on Him and led him away to be nailed to the execution-stake.

A certain man from Cyrene, Shim‘on, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country; and they forced him to carry the stake. They brought Yeshua to a place called Gulgolta (which means “place of a skull”), and they gave Him wine spiced with myrrh, but He didn’t take it. Then they nailed Him to the execution-stake; and they divided His clothes among themselves, throwing dice to determine what each man should get. It was nine in the morning when they nailed him to the stake. Over His head, the written notice of the charge against Him read, THE KING OF THE JEWS

On execution-stakes with Him they placed two robbers, one on His right and one on His left. People passing by hurled insults at Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! So you can destroy the Temple, can you, and rebuild it in three days? Save yourself and come down from the stake!” Likewise, the head cohanim and the Torah-teachers made fun of him, saying to each other, “He saved others, but He can’t save Himself!” and, “So he’s the Messiah, is he? The King of Isra’el? Let Him come down now from the stake! If we see that, then we’ll believe Him!” Even the men nailed up with Him insulted Him.

At noon, darkness covered the whole Land until three o’clock in the afternoon. At three, he uttered a loud cry, “Elohi! Elohi! L’mah sh’vaktani?” (which means, “My God! My God! Why have you deserted me?”) On hearing this, some of the bystanders said, “Look! He’s calling for Eliyahu!” One ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar, put it on a stick and gave it to Him to drink. “Wait!” he said, “Let’s see if Eliyahu will come and take him down.” But Yeshua let out a loud cry and gave up His spirit. And the parokhet in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom.”

That’s not where the story ends! Look! Yeshua was then Resurrected according to Messianic Prophesy:

“who considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living
for the transgression of My people, to whom the stroke was due?” (v. 8)

“But the Lord was pleased
To crush Him, putting Him to grief;
If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,
He will see His offspring,
He will prolong His days” Isaiah 53:10

“The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” Psalm 110:1

“For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol;
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.” Psalm 16:10

“After Shabbat, as the next day was dawning, Miryam of Magdala and the other Miryam went to see the grave. Suddenly there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of Adonai came down from heaven, rolled away the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow. The guards were so terrified at him that they trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid. I know you are looking for Yeshua, who was executed on the stake. He is not here, because He has been raised — just as He said! Come and look at the place where He lay. Then go quickly and tell the talmidim, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and now He is going to the Galil ahead of you. You will see Him there.’ Now I have told you.” Matthew 28:1-7

“So the eleven talmidim went to the hill in the Galil where Yeshua had told them to go. When they saw Him, they prostrated themselves before Him; but some hesitated. Yeshua came and talked with them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age.”-Matthew 28:16-20 (CJB)

“Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. “You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.”

Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice,

“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”

And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” Revelation 5:9-13

Finally, Yeshua also claimed to be the Messiah:

“When Yeshua came into the territory around Caesarea Philippi, He asked His talmidim, “Who are people saying the Son of Man is?” They said, “Well, some say Yochanan the Immerser, others Eliyahu, still others Yirmeyahu or one of the prophets.” “But you,” He said to them, “who do you say I am?” Shim‘on Kefa answered, “You are the Mashiach, the Son of the living God.” “Shim‘on Bar-Yochanan,” Yeshua said to him, “how blessed you are! For no human being revealed this to you, no, it was my Father in heaven”-Matthew 16:13-17 (CJB)

“The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.” Jesus[Yeshua] said to her, “I who speak to you am He.” -John 4:25-26

“Yeshua said, “I AM the Way — and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me” John 14:6

“Again the cohen hagadol questioned Him: “Are you the Mashiach, Ben-HaM’vorakh?” “I AM,” answered Yeshua. “Moreover, you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of HaG’vurah and coming on the clouds of heaven.”-Mark 14:61-62 (CJB)

“I kept looking in the night visions,
And behold, with the clouds of heaven
One like a Son of Man was coming,
And He came up to the Ancient of Days
And was presented before Him.
“And to Him was given dominion,
Glory and a kingdom,
That all the peoples, nations and men of every language
Might serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
Which will not pass away;
And His kingdom is one
Which will not be destroyed.” Daniel 7:13-14

“He said to them,

“Foolish people! So unwilling to put your trust in everything the prophets spoke!

Didn’t the Messiah have to die like this before entering His glory?”

Then, starting with Moshe and all the prophets,

He explained to them the things

that can be found throughout the Tanakh concerning Himself.”

-Luke 24:25-27 (CJB)
