Jesus is the Messiah of Israel

John Hagee’s claims that Jesus never offered Himself to Israel as Messiah and that Jesus rejected being the Messiah to Israel is pure foolishness. John Hagee is either a very cunning manipulator or very ignorant of the Bible and maybe both.

Hagee’s claims about the Jesus not offering Himself as Messiah to Israel has got me so riled that I have started through the gospels looking for everything that points to Jesus coming to be just that The Messiah to Israel. So far I have got to Matt 11 long way to go, but wow! Is there ever a strong message in this, if Jesus did not come to be the Messiah, then neither did He come to be the savior either. He was called both Jesus and Christ, the one being savior the other being Greek for Messiah. The offer he made on the day we refer to as the triumphal entry was just that a legitimate offer to Israel of David’s Son as King of Israel and Messiah. Jesus never ever rejected His people, but they most certainly rejected HIM, I await the return of King Jesus! He will rule as the prophets say with a sword of iron! Nothing less then Jesus Blood and Righteousness, the gospel is the one thing not being preached today that will make a difference in the hearts of men and woman. The death, burial and resurrection is the only answer, Christ came to give Himself as our Redeemer. God does not want numbers He wants mankind to turn to the Lord Jesus for forgiveness for their sins and eternal life. This age we live in is the very end of the age. I believe again that Jesus is coming very soon.

I am preparing a message on this very subject visiting every portion of scripture possible dealing with the subject, is Jesus Israels Messiah? Check back and watch.

Jesus Lives!

It seems that some one made a comment to a news article. The comment actually had nothing whatsoever to do with the news article. This individual made the comment that the tomb of Jesus had been found including a coffin, so he guessed that since Jesus died and did not rise again that settled it. Since to his line of reasoning if James Cameron in an upcoming Discovery Channel movie can show an empty bone casket and prove thereby that Jesus was dead that Christianity would just fall dead. There has been plenty of comment in defense of the faith showing how wrong Cameron’s reasoning is.

The one comment that I would like to elaborate on is the news article written to answer Cameron’s assertions. In this article this comment was made, that I would like to share with you: “Another blogger at BibleProbe.com agreed the new movie is just another way to make a buck. “Why is it, nobody seems to have any interest in doing the same thing to Islam, rabbinic Judaism, Hinduism or Buddhism?” he asked.” (http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54446). Indeed what is this thing about attacking the authenticity of the Bibles claims, but not making any kind of an asserted effort to disprove the authenticity of say Mohammad.

Is it that since Mohammed was such a saint that there is nothing to point out about him (tongue in cheek here) or is it just the same old Hollywood bias? Although it is fairly well known that Mohammed was a pervert (he had sex with girls as young as 8). We hear nothing about that at all. He also had ultra orthodox Jews put to death, but we here nothing about that. He tried to get Christians and Jews to accept his brand of plural god’s, but failed to get enough converts out of them to point to historically as evidence of his validity. His religion has been so weak that the only way to get converts is to force them at sword point.

Perhaps we are better off with the Lord Jesus Christ that the New Testament tells us about, the One who is the eternal Son of God? The Old Testament and New Testament records prove beyond a shaddow of a doubt as to who Jesus is. They prove out to be very accurate.

By comparing the O.T with the N.T the evidences of a literal Christ, dying on the cross, being buried in a grave a real one and then being resurrected three days later is absolutely an historical fact. Since Jesus did what the Bible says He did and since He is who He says He is, then there is no reason to second guess our selves at this point in history.

If all of this is true and I believe the bible to be inerrant and authroitative, then everything else that the bible says is true also. This means that since Jesus is God, there can be no other and this also makes Him the Creator (“All things were made by Him and without Him was not made anything that was made” John 1:3. Since Jesus is the creator then evolution is a lie of the highest magnitude as is all of mans puny attempts to pull himself up by his own bootstraps.

I do have good news for you, Jesus will save you if you just call on Him, admit that you are a sinner and in need of salvation. He promises to save you eternally. God does not hold anything against people who come in repentence and faith in Jesus Christ.

Is Jesus the Jewish Messiah?

Religion >> Messianic Jew all about relition

If Jesus is the Jewish Messiah then does not that mean that He is the most important character in all of world history? The mere fact that the Messiah (Jesus) full filled so much of Old Testament is a strong argument for the authenticity of the Bible and with that the Christian faith. I have taken these from:

Messianic Prophecy – What Are The Odds of Fulfillment Without God?
Messianic Prophecy is so powerful because of the statistical odds that one man would fulfill every single one of them. If we just analyze seven of the more specific prophecies in the Old Testament, that were later fulfilled in the Person of Jesus Christ, we are stunned by the statistical impossibility of such an historical reality. As an illustration, we have inserted some conservative “odds” alongside seven established prophecies. Please feel free to propose your own prophecies and your own odds – the dramatic point will still be made!

Messianic Prophecy – The Challenge
Messianic prophecy is phenomenal evidence that sets the Bible apart from the other “holy books.” We strongly encourage you to read the Old Testament prophecies and the New Testament fulfillments on the previous page. Better yet, get a Jewish Tanakh (the Hebrew scripture read in the Jewish synagogues) and read the Messianic prophecies from there. It is dramatic, eye-opening and potentially life-changing!

Messianic Prophecy: What Is It?
Messianic prophecy is the collection of over 100 predictions (a conservative estimate) in the Old Testament about the future Messiah of the Jewish people. These predictions were written by multiple authors, in numerous books, over approximately 1,000 years. Messianic Prophecy is so dramatic today, because with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the reliability of the Septuagint version of the Old Testament (both of which have been proven to exist prior to the time Jesus walked on the earth) you can be assured that these prophecies were not “conspired” after-the-fact.

Messianic Prophecy: Fulfillment by Jesus Christ
Messianic prophecy was fulfilled by the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Although many Jews did not accept Jesus as their Messiah, many did, and they became the Jewish sect later known as the Christians. Christianity, based in dramatic part on the fulfillment of historical prophecy, spread rapidly throughout the Roman Empire of the 1st Century. Examine the prophecies yourself, and calculate the probability of one man fulfilling just a handful of the most specific ones, and you’ll be amazed.

“Jesus said to them, ‘This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.’” Luke 24:44 (NIV)

The Old Testament verses are the prophecy; the New Testament verses proclaim the fulfillment. Check them all out for yourself!
