The Scriptures ... They show Me (John 5.39).
Waiting for the Messiah, or Christ is one of
the central themes of the Bible.
These were all generations of people, from
Adam and Eve. When they had their first son, Cain, they thought it was and is
the Messiah (“Patriarchs and prophets ").
Enoch prophesied about him. Even he was fully
shown in the vision (ibid., Jude 14-15).
The Redeemer who will resurrect the dead,
believed Job - Job 19.25-27a
Moses and all the prophets have said about
him. So it was until his arrival.
Jews await him until now. They believe that
he is coming, will draw all people to the truth and will build on the Earth
realm of goodness and well-being.
So who is he, the Messiah, or Christ?
Different people on this account, there is no
consensus. Thousands of them. Some will declare themselves.
But how can you determine this?
The biologists have a method: based on the
full set of the many signs
(shape, color, size, appearance, parts, etc.)
They define some kind of plants, animals or microorganisms.
And how to be with Christ?
It turns out his signs (and quite a few!) are
contained in the Bible. On the basis of their we determine unmistakably what
Jesus of Nazareth and only he is Christ. Look at them.
In the old testament, dozens or even
hundreds. For error-free definition of even some of them enough. The New
Testament describes how it turns, and it is this version and there is a good
news for all people.
So, let's list them.
1) Specifying the first-birth place of
Christ.
When Jesus began to teach for the first time,
that he is the one who expects Israel,
He at first didn't believe the majority of
the Jews.
Why?
Because he was from Nazareth, who, in
addition, also enjoyed Luke.
And the Messiah to be from Bethlehem
(Beth-Lehem - Mih 5.2).
And those who did not believe in him
(including priests), recognized his Christ
When seen, where he was born.
2) second - time.
Dan 9.25
a) Command to restore Jerusalem.
Adventist critics accuse of partiality and
fraud. They
believe that this is the Decree of Cyrus (538
b.c.) and 2300 years should count too from him.
But this is not true. The edict of Cyrus is
only permitted on the Queen of the temple
(Ezra 1.2-4 ). It was stopped on suspicion of
sedition and reiterated resolve-
by Darius in the year 519.
The Decree, which said Daniel, Artaxerxes in
457, it shows
on the relevant texts (Ezra 7.12-26).
b) what days?
As it turns out, it's not a seven-day week
(the language of the original
and much more). It is 7 years old.
7 - week - recovery time of Jerusalem
62 - week run - up to the coming of Christ
Total 69x7 = 483 years
The addition will give us the year 27 BC
- This year is the 15th year of Board of
Emperor Tiberias
- Census of Caesar Augustus had about 4 BC
Historians of This know. Everything is the same.
Our calendar - Nativity - was introduced in
about V century (by counting boards monarchs - counted
years in antiquity
and have an error of approximately 3 years.
27-th year, and Christ began His
the service in 30 years.
From this it follows that all those who are
still waiting for the Messiah, is deeply misguided.
3) way of coming into the world.
He is uncanny-immaculate conception - Isaiah
7.14
And the text stating that the Messiah has
come true
the incarnate God - Isaiah 9.6-7, translated
from the original.
Atheism and skepticism of the ruin. They
arrogantly saying: «DO NOT
HAPPENS! "the man thinks (as saying
scientists) that he knows about the universe
"almost everything", and himself
knows very little compared with what it is not knows.
"I only know that I know nothing"
(Socrates).
About the same statement belongs to the
Apostle Paul, 1 Corinthians 8.2-3
Unreasonable to claim that in the world of
particles, there's nothing (for example).
Conservation laws of course work, but not as
primitive as thinks
the majority of scientists.
Also the wrong approach - to explain, from a
purely scientific point of view, the Bible
miracles (care of water in the Red sea,
Manna, and the star of Bethlehem
etc. ).
4) Related the events of Christ's life.
One more proof of its truth. His life and
Ministry in the old
Testament predicted in detail.
Some of them, for example, are associated
with the personality of King Herod, who wanted to
Kill the newborn Christ, no one claimed his
throne.
-
The flight of the Holy Family in Egypt and
return from there when the risk passed (Osiah 11.1).
-
The massacre of the innocents (Jeremiah
31.15).
This cruelty, like many others, was already
mentioned in the Bible (Exodus Chapter 1 and 2).
5) That speaks of Christ, Moses?
(and Christ) calls a "Prophet" - Deuteronomy
18.15
But it's not just a prophet, others of them.
He came to Earth to save
dying and atone for their Own death. This is
the main theme of Scripture - John 3.16
Jesus revealed to the world not only for Its
grace, but a glorified law that
not cancelled and is not changed one iota.
Only the equal of God could do that.
Jews are taught: who recognises Jesus by God,
that violate the first commandment.
But this is not true. They did it violate,
for rejecting those who "brought them
from the land of Egypt,
from the House of bondage "in a pillar of cloud and fire and
led to the promised land.
b) the first prophecy about Christ, Moses and
the whole Bible: Genesis 3.14-15
He wins the devil, which would declare war.
It is the promise of victory given by Adam
and eve before the expulsion from paradise, together with
promise that they and their descendants would
return there. THE FIRST OF THE
PROPHECIES ABOUT THE MESSIAH.
6) the forerunner of Christ.
Someone had to prepare people for his coming.
a) Angel (Mal 3.1).
What is this word?
Did the call of the spirit of God-creature?
NO.
This may be a man of God.
It teaches the New Testament (Revelation
Chapter 2 and 3) and Old too, if you look
carefully. This is consistent with the text
of the Psalms-8, art. 6: "not a lot
You violated it before the angels. "
Three news-about the same.
b) Elijah the Prophet (Mal 4.5-6).
Who is this?
The one who comes before the advent of
Christ.
The Jews, too, recognize this and waiting for
Elijah. The seder ( Ministry of Passover ) is a glass
Elijah the Prophet.
But it is not the literal Elijah and John the
Baptist, the voice of one crying in the
desert ".
Why God did not send the Elijah to heaven?
For the same reason does not send his angels
rejoice.
God does not want to pressure people and
intimidate them. Ordinary God
men, his servants, not only have the word,
but also show by example
righteous life.
7) Is 9.2-"people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light"
This and the Jews and the Gentiles.
Jews-reminds the ideals of Torah,
the Gentiles-open concept of the true God
(at that time only the Jews had It, and all
the others served as idols).
God loves both.
But first the Messiah came to Israel.
Nevertheless, the pagans got it
blessings (Mt 15-healing daughter of Hananean
woman).
8) Kindness to all-the distinctive feature of
the coming of Christ.
Is 42.1-4
What is it?
«Canes will not refracted by "-support
for those who have hard life
«Will not extinguish» no smoking Flax-the
excitement of everyone who has the least spark
faith, and multiply it.
9) other details (from the book of Zachariah):
Zach 9.9 - enter Jerusalem on a donkey in
order to draw attention to itself as
on the King.
Rulers go on horseback, Burro-a symbol of
modesty.
Zach 11.12 - he would be betrayed for 30
silver coins. And subsequent events:
- the death of Judas;
- Apostle instead will become the other (acts
Chapter 1.)
10.) Daniel, except the time of Christ,
predicted that it should
die, and this will happen in the middle of
the week "-3.5 years.
The Jews thought that He came to reign in Jerusalem. Original
originally thought and the Apostles. This is
the cause of great frustration
(as in the year 1844), when finally it was
discovered the truth.
11) Predicted not only the death of Christ,
but also the method of execution--crucifixion
(for 1000 years before his birth that has not
yet been)
Ps 22.17
Verse 19 - one more detail about the clothes:
one part of Roman soldiers
severed and divided, and the other was
without sims (severed) and on
It threw a lot who will get all.
Version of the Jews: this is the Rebbe from
Lubavich and the dropper.
Some still await his resurrection.
If so, how to be with the rest of the signs?
Because the match must
ALL, not just one.
12) Chapter 53 of Isaiah is the Everest of
all the prophecies about Christ, home peak.
Before this part of Judaism, as well as
others, were considered messianic, but then
rabbis changed the teachings. There is a
version that it is about Jewish people. IN
end this chapter simply forbidden to read.
Go on and see what it says about the Messiah,
and not on all Jews:
but) it will; and easy (2)
Appearance of Christ was not unique: a man of
medium height and
physiques (physical craft carpenter), black
hair, a goatee and
big expressive eyes-splendor (as King Saul)
it does not
differed.
b) he will be humbled (v.3). It really was
so, and the The Gospel.
in Verse 5, 8 and 11 say that He bore the
penalty that is designed others.
The Jewish people have really suffered a lot,
but only because
His rather than someone else's sins.
g) through it God will return, and have mercy
on the lost (art. 6). And Israel, to Unfortunately,
though, and gave people the Bible, but the light of the world and not to
become.
d) verse 7:
It is important to know that He suffered
voluntarily.
(Gethsemane-despite the severity, he decided
to do the will of the father: "Take
up your cross and follow me")
The CROSS is something that man himself
incurs (Unlike conventional the
inevitable difficulties).
(e)) HE is INNOCENT but died instead of a
guilty sinner (9b) and "for many
become the instigator (art. 12c).
f) More details:
- executed together with criminals (12b)
- buried in the Tomb (Article 9a)
w) and the most:
If Christ has not been raised, our faith
would be in vain, for there is no
hope for eternal life. Isaiah clearly says
(in a 10-m verse)
after sacrificing himself he will live again.
13) he not only rise, but reigns.
Ps 68.2-4
The Orthodox version of the translation of
verse 2: "may God arise".
Verse 4: "but the righteous Yes will
enjoy oneself Yes rejoice before God and triumph in
joy. "
These last words-encouragement and hope.
Waiting for the Savior of the world permeates the whole Bible and world
history. 2000 years ago the old testament predictions have come true. And soon
His second coming to Earth.
Jesus said, "I will come again and will
take you to myself, that you have been where I am."
