Jewish Messiah Yeshua

Why do CHRISTIANS follow a Jewish Messiah?

There are many reasons that we Christians follow a Jewish Messiah, but the most important is that the Jewish Bible TaNaK (Torah, Torah (תּוֹרָה) – Law-Moses 5 books Nevi'im (נְבִיאִים) - The Nevi'im, or Prophets, Ketuvim (כְּתוּבִים) - The Ketuvim, or Writings)[1], spoke about him prophesized that he would come, first as a suffering servant and second as king of kings to rule. Yeshua had to first come as a sacrifice, the lamb of God, that takes away the sins of the word, the Bible is clear that there can be no salvation without the sheading of blood as it points out in Hebrews 9.11-27 and Lev. (see YOM KIPUR)

Why do Christians use the terms Christ, Jesus (Χριστός christos, Ἰησοῦς iēsous), and Messiah[2].

These terms are the words of the Jewish bible for 500 plus years. Since 3rd century BC the synagogues around the world preached in Greek, this lasted till around the 2nd century AD. And the practice of the Jews using this Kione Greek, switched because the Christians also read and preached from the same book, and the Jews didn’t like it, so they switched to Rabbinic Judaism! Christian used the Greek terms because it was the language of the Jews, and Rabbi’s and had been for hundreds of years, the New Testament church preached predominantly in Greek, but also Rabbi (apostle) Paul , spoke in Aramaic and Latin (he was imprisoned in Rome).

Rabbinic Judaism refers to the form of Judaism that evolved after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE and is based on the teachings and traditions of the rabbis, Jewish religious leaders and scholars.

Post-Second Temple Period: Rabbinic Judaism began to develop after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.
Formative Period: The formative period of Rabbinic Judaism, including the compilation of the Mishnah, Talmud, and other key texts, lasted several centuries, roughly from the 2nd to the 7th centuries CE.
Medieval to Modern Times: Rabbinic Judaism continued to evolve throughout the medieval period, adapting to different cultural contexts and incorporating various philosophical and mystical traditions, such as Kabbalah. It remains the foundational form of Judaism into modern times.

Why don’t JEWS believe in MESSIAH?

Most Jews are unaware of the prophesies in the TaNaK that speak about Jesus, the reasons for this can be manyfold, but probably the biggest reason is due to Rabbinic, traditions that stem form the time of his crucifixion until now and they include one of the biggest cover ups in human history. Flowing are some of the scripture that talk about him with their fulfillment in the Brit Chadashah (new testament / new covenant[1]) most are considered Messianic prophesies, i.e. the “anointed one” MeSHoak to soak. Jesus was the chosen one, the High Priest of Israel. In fact there are estimated to be over 300 scriptures and prophesies about him that were fulfilled by his first coming, here are just a few that are mostly not covered by Rabbi’s.

Prophecies of Jesus, he did not come to abolish the law or the prophets but to fulfill them, in fact he said not one jot (Yod) or tittle (smallest item)[2] of the law will be done away with until everything is complete. And Jeremiah predicted what will happen after this fulfilment (see following scripture3).

_{[1] Brit Chadashah Blessings - Thanking God for the New Covenant Scriptures - Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah. I will put my law in their hearts, circumcise your hearts (Deu 10:16, Deu 30:6, Jer 4:4) - Jer 31:31.
