I Love to hear a Jewish person who has believed in Jesus !! They know the Old Teatament So well that when their eyes are opened they see He's everywhere in there. Not Just the New. 🙏🦋💝

[filsdutreshaut]

I love seeing my Jewish brothers talking about Jesus Christ the Messiah, I strongly believe that the great revival is near both Jews and Gentilles in fire for Christ as it was in the book of acts with the first church

This verse clears it up for me 🙏🏾

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

"He didn't come, the first time through, to conquer Rome, b/c Rome was such a small issue, He came first to conquer death..." AMEN to that!

I would argue that the disciples used the Tanackh in the way Yeshua TAUGHT THEM TO as revealed during his ministry but SPECIFICALLY in Luke 24. Here, Luke testifies that Yeshua imparted special supernatural knowledge to them, which was previously unknown to them, about which specific passages in the Hebrew Scriptures actually refer to the chosen anointed one Of God almighty.

Clearly, this was only a select number of special passages. We know this because we have the testimony of the book of Acts, Peter, Stephen, James and John, and also the special revelation of Yeshua to Paul as to what these passages are.

We should not be surprised that the record of these passages in the NT do not align 100% with the most accurate record we have of the Hebrew Scriptures. Firstly, because neither set of scriptures (NT or ‘OT’) is 100% accurate, hence there will be variations between the messianic prophetic texts quoted in NT when comparing them to Tanach.

Secondly, it appears that YHVH wanted to mask the prophecies concerning his precious cornerstone, his begotten son and anointed one, hence these promises were hidden in plain sight with texts deliberately revealed by the Holy Spirit to Gods prophet that were designed to have two meanings/usages. One message for the people of that time but there was also another message/meaning that Yeshua would supernaturally reveal during his ministry.

Finally, no-one has the right to automatically apply any random passage of scripture from
The Tanach and claim that it applies to Yeshua because they think it fits their theology UNLESS Yeshua has revealed it first. Not every passage in the Tanackh applies to Yeshua.

Yeshua spent 40 days teaching his disciples after his resurrection. The disciples were then filled with Spirit of YHVH. They then proclaimed the truth of what was revealed to them. If your description of Yeshua does not align with their testimony then you risk believing in another Jesus. If you gave use passages from the Hebrew Scriptures NONE of Yeshua’s used to explain who YHVH is or who Yeshua is, then you risk proclaiming a counterfeit Jesus, one who would be unrecognisable to his earliest followe

[PacoCarlos]

Jesus Christ is the Word of God, and He became flesh and dwelled among first century witnesses, after His resurrection, He appeared for 40 days, payback for His 40 days in the wilderness by the way, to 500 witnesses... And who remembers that when Jesus Christ Himself said, it is finished! The veil of the temple was rent from top to bottom, and the saints came out of their graves and announced the gospel?!?; Where did all the Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes go, who stopped these newly, recently resurrected saints from announcing Jesus as the Messiah at the exact fulfillment of Daniel's 69th week?!?!

[gumoshabe]

From genesis 19:24, Isaiah 53, Isaiah 9, Daniel 7:13-15 and mark 14:62 Jesus Christ is the real Messiah promised to us to be our saviour

Shalom! Dear brothers and sisters of Zion 🇮🇱, I thank you for such an interesting and captivating video. We THE MESSIANIC JEWISH ✡ ALLIANCE OF ISRAEL 🇮🇱, as a New Born again in Christ Jesus our Messiah and alongside our dear Brethren gentiles Christian ✝️, we declare that, the Torah is the substance of divine revelation that gave birth to the Old Testament. The Torah often restricted to signify the first five books 📚 of the Hebrew Bible, also called the Law was ascribed to Moses by revelation from God on Mount Sinai. Jesus Christ, then fulfilled the Prophets by accomplishing what was therein foretold concerning Himself and the Law by Samuel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel, Jeremiah, Malachi, just to name a few. Christ fulfilled the Law, first, by transgressing none of its precepts, secondly, by justifying by Faith, which the Law could not do by the letter. " Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them..."(Matthew 5:17). We Messianic Jewish ✡ are now convinced, thanks to the work of the Holy Spirit and the grace of God that, Jesus is God incarnate, the eternal Alpha and Omega ( Revelation 1:8;22:13), and God our Savior (2 Peter 1:1). Furthermore, it was further announced ahead of time 1000 BCE, before the birth of Jesus, that the Messiah would enter Jerusalem 🇮🇱 in Triumph as the crowd shouted;" Hosanna! Hosanna! Son of David " what turned out to be Palm Sunday 🌴 ( Zechariah 9:9-10);(Psalm 118:25-26);(Matthew 21:9);(Mark 11:9);(Luke 19:38);(John 12:13). But in less than a week, Jesus would be betrayed (by one of his own disciples, Judas Iscariot, as it turned out in ( Psalm 69:25);(Acts 1:20). It was predicted that Messiah's side would be pierced (Zechariah 12:10);(John 19:37), and he would suffer vicariously for the sins of the world 🌎( Isaiah 53:6, 9, 12);(Peter 2:21-25);(Romans 4:25). Even more dramatically accurate was the fact that Jesus would be killed with the "wicked " ones (Isaiah 53:9a, note the plural noun in Hebrew), as he hung between two thieves, yet he would be buried with the rich one (Isaiah 53:9b, note its singular form in the Hebrew. Amen 🙏

Dear gentlemen,

Jesus is able to pour out the holy spirit only because God Almighty, his heavenly father has empowered Jesus to do this.

Let’s read what Peter has to say on this issue in acts 2:33 both in plain text and with some simple commentary:

Acts 2:33 ‘ therefore having been exulted to the right hand of God having received the promised of the holy spirit from the father he poured out this that you see and hear’

Acts 2 :33 with a very simple explanation ‘ therefore (Jesus) having been exulted to the right hand of God (in accordance with Psalm 110) having received the promised of the holy spirit from the father (this means jesus did not have the authority or ability within or of himself to distribute the Holy Spirit as he did at Pentecost BEFORE the father gave him that gift and authority), he (Jesus) poured out this that you See and hear (the gift of the holy spirit at Pentecost)

Have you ever asked yourself the question, and if Jesus is God Almighty, why was he only elevated to the right hand side of God Almighty? And why did he have to be elevated?

Did you know in Revelation 3:21 Jesus says to the one who conquers “I will grant him to sit down with me on my throne, as I have also conquered and I’ve sat down with my father on his throne “. Does this mean that when sit down next to Jesus on his throne that we all become part of the divine godhead? Of course not!

Doesn’t Jesus himself say in John 14:26 ‘but the advocate, the holy spirit, whom the father will send in my name that one will teach you all things and remind you of everything I said to you’. So who does Jesus say pours out the holy spirit? His father. Just as Peter testified above through Yeshua.

Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit as prophecied in Isaiah 11:1-5 and confirmed in Rev 1-3. During his lifetime he was able to empower his disciples with the Holy Spirit in a way similar to Moses as recorded in the Pentateuch. Do you recall a portion of Moses gift of the hilt spirit being given to Joshua and the 72 elders? And what happened afterwards? How they prophesied and acted in a manner very similar to what was experienced at Pentecost? After the resurrection and ascension of Yeshua the spirit of YHVH had to be poured out in even a greater measure. As yeshua has been appointed as the head of the church as its high priest, then he has been the authority from YeHoVaH to distribute Gods spirit as he (Yeshua) feels fit. This does not mean Yeshua is God almighty.

Congratulations for the excellent and exquisite work you do there in Israel.
Always count on the support of us Brazilians who love Israel and its people!

[cindypollard]

Wow! I love hearing this man! He knows the Scriptures in context, in historical context, in Messianic context! Wow!
Such a humble man! And so wise in application and conclusions about Yeshua! Thank you!

[StrummaChick]

Yeshua is the reason I am alive.
When I was at my most desperate, He was there either correcting me, or comforting me.
Either way, that’s Love.
How could I turn away Love?
