* * *
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 it.
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 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 (Hos 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, v.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
the end this chapter simply forbidden to read.
Go on and
see what it says about the Messiah, and not on all Jews :
a) 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.
c)
through it God will return, and have mercy on the lost (v.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 (verse 9a)
g) 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".
