Messiah must fulfill God\u2019s promises to Israel and bring the truth to the Goyim (Gentiles)<\/h4>\n

YESHA\u2019YAHU (ISAIAH) 42:6<\/strong>6 <\/sup>\u201cI, Adonai<\/em>, called you righteously, I took hold of you by the hand, I shaped you and made you a covenant for the people, to be a light for the Goyim<\/em>,
\nYESHA\u2019YAHU (ISAIAH) 49:6<\/strong>6 <\/sup>“…he has said, \u201cIt is not enough that you are merely my servant to raise up the tribes of Ya\u2018akov and restore the offspring of Isra\u2019el. I will also make you a light to the nations, so my salvation can spread to the ends of the earth.\u201d<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LUKE 2:25-32<\/strong>25 <\/sup>There was in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) a man named Shim\u2018on (Simon). This man was a tsaddik <\/em>(righteous man), he was devout, he waited eagerly for God to comfort Isra\u2019el, and the Ruach HaKodesh<\/em> (Holy Spirit) was upon him. 26 <\/sup>It had been revealed to him by the Ruach HaKodesh<\/em> that he would not die before he had seen the Messiah of Adonai<\/em>. 27 <\/sup>Prompted by the Spirit, he went into the Temple courts; and when the parents brought in the child Yeshua to do for him what the Torah<\/em> required, 28 <\/sup>Shim\u2018on took him in his arms, made a b\u2019rakhah<\/em> (prayer of blessing) to God, and said, 29 <\/sup>\u201cNow, Adonai<\/em>, according to your word, your servant is at peace as you let him go; 30 <\/sup>for I have seen with my own eyes your yeshu\u2018ah<\/em> (salvation), 31 <\/sup>which you prepared in the presence of all peoples \u2014 32 <\/sup>a light that will bring revelation to the Goyim <\/em>and glory to your people Isra\u2019el.\u201d<\/p>\n

ACTS OF THE EMISSARIES OF YESHUA THE MESSIAH (ACTS) 26:23<\/strong>23 <\/sup>that the Messiah would die, and that he, as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to both the People and the Goyim<\/em>.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Messiah must inaugurate a new everlasting covenant<\/h4>\n

YIRMIYAHU (JEREMIAH) 31-33<\/strong>30 (31) <\/sup>\u201cHere, the days are coming,\u201d says Adonai,<\/em> \u201cwhen I will make a new covenant with the house of Isra\u2019el and with the house of Y\u2019hudah. 31 (32) <\/sup>It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day I took them by their hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt; because they, for their part, violated my covenant, even though I, for my part, was a husband to them,\u201d says Adonai<\/em>. 32 (33) <\/sup>\u201cFor this is the covenant I will make with the house of Isra\u2019el after those days,\u201d says Adonai<\/em>: \u201cI will put my Torah<\/em> within them and write it on their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people.<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

LUKE 22:15-20<\/strong>15 <\/sup>and he said to them, \u201cI have really wanted so much to celebrate this Seder<\/em> (Passover) with you before I die! 16 <\/sup>For I tell you, it is certain that I will not celebrate it again until it is given its full meaning in the Kingdom of God.\u201d 17 <\/sup>Then, taking a cup of wine, he made the b\u2019rakhah<\/em> and said, \u201cTake this and share it among yourselves. 18 <\/sup>For I tell you that from now on, I will not drink the \u2018fruit of the vine\u2019 until the Kingdom of God comes.\u201d 19 <\/sup>Also, taking a piece of matzah<\/em> (unleavened bread), he made the b\u2019rakhah<\/em> (blessing), broke it, gave it to them and said, \u201cThis is my body, which is being given for you; do this in memory of me.\u201d 20 <\/sup>He did the same with the cup after the meal, saying, \u201cThis cup is the New Covenant, ratified by my blood, which is being poured out for you.<\/p>\n

MATTITYAHU (MATTHEW) 26:27-29<\/strong>27 <\/sup>Also he took a cup of wine, made the b\u2019rakhah<\/em>, and gave it to them, saying, \u201cAll of you, drink from it! 28 <\/sup>For this is my blood, which ratifies the New Covenant, my blood shed on behalf of many, so that they may have their sins forgiven. 29 <\/sup>I tell you, I will not drink this \u2018fruit of the vine\u2019 again until the day I drink new wine with you in my Father\u2019s Kingdom.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Messiah must be a Prophet like Moses<\/h4>\n

D\u2019VARIM (DEUTERONOMY) 18:17-19<\/strong>17 <\/sup>On that occasion Adonai<\/em> said to me, \u2018They are right in what they are saying. 18 <\/sup>I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kinsmen. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I order him. 19 <\/sup>Whoever doesn\u2019t listen to my words, which he will speak in my name, will have to account for himself to me.<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

YOCHANAN (JOHN) 6:14<\/strong>14 <\/sup>When the people saw the miracle he had performed, they said, \u201cThis has to be \u2018the prophet\u2019 who is supposed to come into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE ACTS OF THE EMISSASRIES OF YESHUA THE MESSIAH (ACTS) 3:20-24<\/strong>20<\/strong> <\/sup>so that times of refreshing may come from the Lord\u2019s presence; and he may send the Messiah appointed in advance for you, that is, Yeshua. 21 <\/sup>He has to remain in heaven until the time comes for restoring everything, as God said long ago, when he spoke through the holy prophets. 22 <\/sup>For Moshe himself said, \u2018Adonai<\/em> will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You are to listen to everything he tells you. 23 <\/sup>Everyone who fails to listen to that prophet will be removed from the people and destroyed.\u2019[<\/sup>a<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> 24 <\/sup>Indeed, all the prophets announced these days, starting with Sh\u2019mu\u2019el and continuing through all who followed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Messiah must be born of the tribe of Y\u2019hudah (Judah)<\/h4>\n

B\u2019SHEET (GENESIS) 49:8-10<\/strong>8 <\/sup>\u201cY\u2019hudah, your brothers will acknowledge you, your hand will be on the neck of your enemies, your father\u2019s sons will bow down before you. 9 <\/sup>Y\u2019hudah is a lion\u2019s cub; my son, you stand over the prey. He crouches down and stretches like a lion; like a lioness, who dares to provoke him? 10 <\/sup>The scepter will not pass from Y\u2019hudah, nor the ruler\u2019s staff from between his legs, until he comes to whom [obedience] belongs; [<\/sup>a<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup>and it is he whom the peoples will obey.<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

MATTITYAH (MATTHEW) 1:1-17 <\/strong>(1-16 provides genealogy from Abraham to Yeshua per temple records of that day17 <\/sup>Thus there were fourteen generations from Avraham to David, fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian Exile, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian Exile to the Messiah.<\/p>\n

MESSIANIC JEWS (HEBREWS) 7:14<\/strong>14 <\/sup>for everyone knows that our Lord arose out of Y\u2019hudah\u2026<\/p>\n

THE REVELATION OF YESHUA THE MESSIAH TO YOCHANAN (JOHN) 5:5<\/strong>5 <\/sup>One of the elders said to me, \u201cDon\u2019t cry. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Y\u2019hudah, the Root of David, has won the right to open the scroll and its seven seals.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Messiah must come forth out of Beit-Lechem (Bethlehem)<\/h4>\n

MIKHAH (MICAH) 5:2<\/strong>(2) <\/sup>But you, Beit-Lechem near Efrat,.so small among the clans of Y\u2019hudah, out of you will come forth to me the future ruler of Isra\u2019el, whose origins are far in the past, back in ancient times<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

MATTITYAHU (MATTHEW) 2:1-6<\/strong>1<\/sup>After Yeshua was born in Beit-Lechem in the land of Y\u2019hudah during the time when Herod was king, Magi from the east came to Yerushalayim 2 <\/sup>and asked, \u201cWhere is the newborn King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.\u201d 3 <\/sup>When King Herod heard of this he became very agitated, and so did everyone else in Yerushalayim. 4 <\/sup>He called together all the head cohanim<\/em> and Torah<\/em>-teachers of the people and asked them, \u201cWhere will the Messiah be born?\u201d 5 <\/sup>\u201cIn Beit-Lechem of Y\u2019hudah,\u201d they replied, \u201cbecause the prophet wrote, 6 <\/sup>\u2018And you, Beit-Lechem in the land of Y\u2019hudah, are by no means the least among the rulers of Y\u2019hudah; for from you will come a Ruler who will shepherd my people Isra\u2019el.<\/strong>\u2019\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Messiah must be born to Israel in the lineage of King David<\/h4>\n

YESHA\u2019YAHU (ISAIAH 9:6(a), 7<\/strong>(6a) <\/sup>For a child is born to us, a son is given to us; \u2026dominion will rest on his shoulders, (7) <\/sup>in order to extend the dominion and perpetuate the peace of the throne and kingdom of David, to secure it and sustain it through justice and righteousness henceforth and forever. The zeal of Adonai<\/em>–Tzva\u2019ot<\/em> will accomplish this.<\/p>\n

SH\u2019MU\u2019EL BET (2 SAMUEL) 7:12-13<\/strong>(TO DAVID) 12 <\/sup>When your days come to an end and you sleep with your ancestors, I will establish one of your descendants to succeed you, one of your own flesh and blood; and I will set up his rulership. 13 <\/sup>He will build a house for my name, and I will establish his royal throne forever.<\/p>\n

YIRMIYAHU (JEREMIAH) 23:5<\/strong>5 <\/sup>\u201cThe days are coming,\u201d says Adonai<\/em> when I will raise a righteous Branch for David. He will reign as king and succeed, he will do what is just and right in the land.<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

LUKE 2:11<\/strong>11 <\/sup>This very day, in the town of David, there was born for you a Deliverer who is the Messiah, the Lord.<\/p>\n

MATTITYAHU (MATTHEW)1:1 <\/strong>1 <\/sup>This is the genealogy of Yeshua the Messiah, son of David, son of Avraham…<\/p>\n

LUKE 1:32 <\/strong>32 <\/sup>He will be great, he will be called Son of Ha\u2018Elyon<\/em>. Adonai<\/em>, God, will give him the throne of his forefather David…<\/p>\n

THE ACTS OF THE EMISSARIES OF YESHUA THE MESSIAH (ACTS) 13:22-23<\/strong>22 <\/sup>God removed him and raised up David as king for them, making his approval known with these words, \u2018I found David Ben-Yishai to be a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want.\u2019[<\/sup>a<\/sup><\/a>] 23 <\/sup>\u201cIn keeping with his promise, God has brought to Isra\u2019el from this man\u2019s descendants a deliverer, Yeshua.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Messiah will be born as Prince of Peace<\/h4>\n

YESHA\u2019YAHU (ISAIAH) 9:6-7<\/strong>(6) <\/sup>For a child is born to us, a son is given to us; dominion will rest on his shoulders, and he will be given the name Pele-Yo\u2018etz El Gibbor Avi-\u2018Ad Sar-Shalom [Wonder of a Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace], (7) <\/sup>in order to extend the dominion and perpetuate the peace of the throne and kingdom of David, to secure it and sustain it through justice and righteousness henceforth and forever. The zeal of Adonai<\/em>–Tzva\u2019ot <\/em>will accomplish this.<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

YOCHANAN (JOHN) 14:25-27<\/strong>25 <\/sup>\u201cI have told you these things while I am still with you. 26 <\/sup>But the Counselor, the Ruach HaKodesh <\/em>(Holy Spirit), whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything; that is, he will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 <\/sup>\u201cWhat I am leaving with you is shalom<\/em> \u2014 I am giving you my shalom <\/em>(peace). I don\u2019t give the way the world gives. Don\u2019t let yourselves be upset or frightened.<\/p>\n

ACTS OF THE EMISSARIES OF YESHUA THE MESSIAH (ACTS) 13:36<\/strong>36 <\/sup>\u201cHere is the message that he sent to the sons of Isra\u2019el announcing shalom<\/em> through Yeshua the Messiah, who is Lord of everything.<\/p>\n

Also<\/strong> ROMANS 5:1, EPHESIANS 2:14, COLOSSIANS 1:20<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Messiah must be persecuted by rulers in his day<\/h4>\n

TEHILLIM (<\/strong>PSALM<\/strong>S) 2:1-2<\/strong>1<\/sup>Why are the nations in an uproar, the peoples grumbling in vain? 2 <\/sup>The earth\u2019s kings are taking positions, leaders conspiring together, against Adonai <\/em>and his anointed.<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

MATTITYAHU (MATTHEW) 12:14<\/strong>14 <\/sup>But the P\u2019rushim<\/em> (Pharisees) went out and began plotting how they might do away with Yeshua.<\/p>\n

MATTITYAHU (MATTHEW) 26:47<\/strong>47 <\/sup>While Yeshua was still speaking, Y\u2019hudah (one of the Twelve!) came, and with him a large crowd carrying swords and clubs, from the head cohanim<\/em> (priests) and elders of the people.<\/p>\n

LUKE 23:11-12<\/strong>11 <\/sup>Herod (the King) and his soldiers treated Yeshua with contempt and made fun of him. Then, dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate (the Roman governor). 12 <\/sup>That day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other; previously they had been enemies.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Adonai proclaims the Messiah will be His Son<\/h4>\n

TEHILLIM (PSALMS) 2:6-7<\/strong>6<\/sup> \u201cI myself have installed my king on Tziyon, my holy mountain.\u201d 7 <\/sup>\u201cI will proclaim the decree: Adonai<\/em> said to me, \u2018You are my son; today I became your father. \u201c<\/p>\n

MISHNEI (PROVERBS) 30:4 <\/strong>Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has cupped the wind in the palms of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son\u2019s name? Surely you know!<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

MATTITYAHU (MATTHEW) 3:17, 8:28-29<\/strong>17 <\/sup>and a voice from heaven said, \u201cThis is my Son, whom I love; I am well pleased with him.\u201d28 <\/sup>When Yeshua arrived at the other side of the lake, in the Gadarenes\u2019 territory, there came out of the burial caves two men controlled by demons, so violent that no one dared travel on that road. 29 <\/sup>They screamed, \u201cWhat do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?\u201dAlso<\/p>\n

\n

Messiah must be the way of repentance for all nations<\/h4>\n

YESHA\u2019YAHU (ISAIAH) 2:2-4<\/strong>2 <\/sup>In the acharit-hayamim<\/em> (perilous or end times) the mountain of Adonai<\/em>\u2019s house will be established as the most important mountain. It will be regarded more highly than the other hills, and all the Goyim<\/em> (Gentiles) will stream there. 3 <\/sup>Many peoples will go and say, \u201cCome, let\u2019s go up to the mountain of Adonai<\/em>, to the house of the God of Ya\u2018akov! He will teach us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.\u201d For out of Tziyon will go forth Torah<\/em>, the word of Adonai<\/em> from Yerushalayim. 4 <\/sup>He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. Then they will hammer their swords into plow-blades and their spears into pruning-knives; nations will not raise swords at each other, and they will no longer learn war.<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

LUKE 24:47<\/strong>47 <\/sup>and in his name repentance leading to forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed to people from all nations, starting with Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Messiah will take our curse pronounced by the Torah upon Himself by being hung on a tree<\/h4>\n

D\u2019VARIM (DEUTERONOMY) 21:22-23<\/strong>22 <\/sup>\u201cIf someone has committed a capital crime and is put to death, then hung on a tree, 23 <\/sup>his body is not to remain all night on the tree, but you must bury him the same day, because a person who has been hanged has been cursed by God \u2014 so that you will not defile your land, which Adonai<\/em> your God is giving you to inherit.<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GALATIANS 3:13<\/strong>13 <\/sup>The Messiah redeemed us from the curse pronounced in the Torah<\/em> by becoming cursed on our behalf; for the Tanakh<\/em> says, \u201cEveryone who hangs from a stake comes under a curse.\u201d[<\/sup>a<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Messiah must be the enthroned High Priest<\/h4>\n

Z\u2019KAHRYAH 6:12-13<\/strong>12 <\/sup>and tell him, \u2018Adonai<\/em>-Tzva\u2019ot<\/em> says: \u201cThere is coming a man whose name is Tzemach [Sprout]. He will sprout up from his place and rebuild the temple of Adonai<\/em>. 13 <\/sup>Yes, he will rebuild the temple of Adonai<\/em>; and he will take up royal splendor, sitting and ruling from his throne. There will be a cohen<\/em> before his throne; and they will accept each other\u2019s advice in complete harmony.<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

MESSIANIC JEWS (HEBREWS) 10:11-28<\/strong>11 <\/sup>Now every cohen<\/em> (priest) stands\u2019 every day doing his service, offering over and over the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 <\/sup>But this one, after he had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 <\/sup>from then on to wait until his enemies be made a footstool for his feet.[a<\/a>]<\/sup> 14 <\/sup>For by a single offering he has brought to the goal for all time those who are being set apart for God and made holy. 15 <\/sup>And the Ruach HaKodesh<\/em> (Holy Spirit) too bears witness to us; for after saying, 16 <\/sup>\u201c \u2018This is the covenant which I will make with them after those days,\u2019 says Adonai<\/em> (GOD): \u2018I will put my Torah<\/em> on their hearts, and write it on their minds\u201d 17 <\/sup>he then adds,\u201c And their sins and their wickednesses, I will remember no more.\u2019\u201d 18 <\/sup>Now where there is forgiveness for these, an offering for sins is no longer needed. 19 <\/sup>So, brothers, we have confidence to use the way into the Holiest Place opened by the blood of Yeshua. 20 <\/sup>He inaugurated it for us as a new and living way through the parokhet <\/em>(veil in the temple), by means of his flesh. 21 <\/sup>We also have a great cohen<\/em> over God\u2019s household. 22 <\/sup>Therefore, let us approach the Holiest Place with a sincere heart, in the full assurance that comes from trusting \u2014 with our hearts sprinkled clean from a bad conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.[<\/sup>d<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> 23 <\/sup>Let us continue holding fast to the hope we acknowledge, without wavering; for the One who made the promise is trustworthy. 24 <\/sup>And let us keep paying attention to one another, in order to spur each other on to love and good deeds, 25 <\/sup>not neglecting our own congregational meetings, as some have made a practice of doing, but, rather, encouraging each other. And let us do this all the more as you see the Day approaching. 26 <\/sup>For if we deliberately continue to sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 <\/sup>but only the terrifying prospect of Judgment, of raging fire that will consume the enemies. 28 <\/sup>Someone who disregards the Torah<\/em> of Moshe is put to death without mercy on the word of two or three witnesses.<\/p>\n

MESSIANIC JEWS (HEBREWS) 8:1-2<\/strong>Here is the whole point of what we have been saying: we do have just such a cohen gadol<\/em> as has been described. And he does sit at the right hand of HaG\u2019dulah<\/em> (the Power Above) in heaven.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Messiah must be pierced and wounded for transgressions<\/h4>\n

TEHILLIM (Psalms) 22:16<\/strong>17 (16) <\/sup>Dogs are all around me, a pack of villains closes in on me like a lion. They pierced my hands and feet.<\/p>\n

Z\u2019KHARYAH (ZECHARIAH) 12:10<\/strong>10 <\/sup>and I will pour out on the house of David and on those living in Yerushalayim a spirit of grace and prayer; and they will look to me, whom they pierced.<\/p>\n

YESHA\u2019YAHU (ISAIAH) 53: 4-5<\/strong>4 <\/sup><\/strong>In fact, it was our diseases he bore, our pains from which he suffered; yet we regarded him as punished, stricken and afflicted by God. 5 <\/sup><\/strong>But he was wounded because of our crimes, crushed because of our sins; the disciplining that makes us whole fell on him, and by his bruises* we are healed.<\/td>\n

MATTITYAHU (MATTHEW) 27:35<\/strong>35 <\/sup>After they had nailed him to the stake, they divided his clothes among them by throwing dice.<\/p>\n

YOCHANAN (JOHN) 20:25-29<\/strong>25 <\/sup>When the other talmidim<\/em> (disciples) told him, \u201cWe have seen the Lord,\u201d he replied, \u201cUnless I see the nail marks in his hands, put my finger into the place where the nails were and put my hand into his side, I refuse to believe it.\u201d 26 <\/sup>A week later his talmidim<\/em> were once more in the room, and this time T\u2019oma (Thomas) was with them. Although the doors were locked, Yeshua came, stood among them and said, \u201cShalom aleikhem<\/em>! (Peace unto you)\u201d 27 <\/sup>Then he said to T\u2019oma, \u201cPut your finger here, look at my hands, take your hand and put it into my side. Don\u2019t be lacking in trust, but have trust!\u201d 28 <\/sup>T\u2019oma answered him, \u201cMy Lord and my God!\u201d 29 <\/sup>Yeshua said to him, \u201cHave you trusted because you have seen me?

Messiah must be the healer of Israel<\/h4>\n

YESHA\u2019YAHU (ISAIAH) 29:18<\/strong>18 <\/sup>On that day the deaf will hear the words of a book, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.<\/p>\n

YESHA\u2019YAHU (ISAIAH) 35:5<\/strong>5 <\/sup>Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped;<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

MATTITYAHU (MATTHEW) 11:5<\/strong>5 <\/sup>the blind are seeing again, the lame are walking, people with tzara\u2019at<\/em> (leprosy) are being cleansed, the deaf are hearing,[<\/sup>a<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> the dead are being raised,[<\/sup>b<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> the Good News is being told to the poor.<\/p>\n

YOCHANAN (JOHN) 9:39<\/strong>39 <\/sup>Yeshua said, \u201cIt is to judge that I came into this world, so that those who do not see might see, and those who do see might become blind.\u201d<\/p>\n

MARK 7:37<\/strong>37 <\/sup>People were overcome with amazement. \u201cEverything he does, he does well!\u201d they said. \u201cHe even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak!\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Messiah must be numbered with sinners in order to bear our sins<\/h4>\n

YESHA\u2019YAHU (ISAIAH) 53:12<\/strong>12<\/sup>Therefore I will assign him a share with the great, he will divide the spoil with the mighty, for having exposed himself to death and being counted among the sinners, while actually bearing the sin of many and interceding for the offenders.\u201d<\/td>\n

YESHA\u2019YAHU 9:1-2<\/strong>(2) <\/sup>The people living in darkness have seen a great light; upon those living in the land that lies in the shadow of death, light has dawned. 2 (3) <\/sup>You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice in your presence as if rejoicing at harvest time, the way men rejoice when dividing up the spoil.<\/td>\n

Messiah will speak in parables and explain mysteries<\/h4>\n

TEHILLIM (PSALMS) 78:2<\/strong>2 <\/sup>I will speak to you in parables and explain mysteries from days of old.<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

MATTITYAHU (MATTHEW) 13:10-16<\/strong> 10 <\/sup>Then the talmidim<\/em> (disciples) came and asked Yeshua, \u201cWhy are you speaking to them in parables?\u201d 11 <\/sup>He answered, \u201cBecause it has been given to you to know the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it has not been given to them. 12 <\/sup>For anyone who has something will be given more, so that he will have plenty; but from anyone who has nothing, even what he does have will be taken away. 13 <\/sup>Here is why I speak to them in parables: they look without seeing and listen without hearing or understanding. 14 <\/sup>That is, in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Yesha\u2018yahu which says, \u2018You will keep on hearing but never understand, and keep on seeing but never perceive, 15 <\/sup>because the heart of this people has become dull\u2014with their ears they barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, so as not to see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and do t\u2019shuvah<\/em> (\u201creturn\u201d or repent), so that I could heal them.\u2019 16 <\/sup>But you, how blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear!<\/p>\n

LUKE 8:10<\/strong>10 <\/sup>and he said, \u201cTo you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but the rest are taught in parables, so that they may look but not see, and listen but not understand.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Messiah will come as Israel\u2019s shepherd<\/h4>\n

YESHA\u2019YAHU (ISAIAH) 40:10-11<\/strong>10 <\/sup>Here comes Adonai <\/em>Elohim<\/em> with power, and his arm will rule for him. Look! His reward is with him, and his recompense is before him. 11 <\/sup>He is like a shepherd feeding his flock, gathering his lambs with his arm, carrying them against his chest, gently leading the mother sheep.\u201d<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

YOCHANAN (JOHN) 10:11<\/strong>11 <\/sup>\u201cI am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.<\/p>\n
