Prominent Rabbi Breaks Silence: 'Messiah Coming This Year'

When I was younger I was a newspaper reporter. Once I interviewed a famous Israeli war hero. He said something I'll never forget:

"When Messiah comes, I will be too overwhelmed to ask if it is His first time or His second."

“Jews don’t have a religion without the Temple and a blood sacrifice.”

---

Dead wrong, about that and everything else. We need no Temple, because HaShem (God) is everywhere and hears both our voice and our thoughts no matter where we may be. We don’t need a blood sacrifice, because our heartfelt words take their place.

What you say may be correct under Christian theology, but not Jewish theology - not even close. The “Jewish messiah” isn’t even a concept like Christianity has - all that “messiah” (really “Moschiach,” in transliterated Hebrew) means is “annointed.” Annointed means to have oil poured over your head for a specific purpose, and understanding its use is complex. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/anointing Note that Cyrus the Great was considered a messiah/annointed because of what he did against the enemies of the Jews, and for the Jews themselves, in his day - and Cyrus was neither Jewish, nor even close to being morally perfect or pure. All of the High Priests were annointed.

As for why Jesus was NOT the Jewish Messiah, I’m not going to bother to explain, because others have done so far better than I could. Here’s an example, if you’re interested in actually learning something: https://jewsforjudaism.ca/why-jesus-is-not-the-jewish-messiah/

That all said, so long as you are a decent person (i.e. follow the Noahide laws), under Jewish theology it does not matter - you will have a place in “the world to come” (i.e. Heaven). Best of luck to you in all of your endeavors, and I hope for peace, health and prosperity for your and your family.

“You know, considering some of the things said in the Scriptures I’m willing to bet nobody will actually be predicting the time that Christ actually returns.”

While I’m no mind-reader, I’m willing to bet my house on the fact that this guy is not talking about his and my very distant mutual cousin, the carpenter. Just saying.

“The 18 th? Well that would be 6 plus 6 plus 6 - heh”

---

Please, Jews for religious purposes don’t give a damn about the secular calendar, nor does “666” have any meaning for Jews other than just being the number between 665 and 667.

Yawn.... Go make a Jesus returning thread.

[Phinneous]

similar to what I heard Ravi Zacharias say (or quote,) When the Messiah comes, I’ll ask, ‘So, have you been here before?’”

[ADSUM]

One of the most overlooked signs that the Second Coming is approaching is the corporate conversion of the Jewish people. This is something that Paul is very clear about. In Romans 11, he sketches a paradigm according to which, after the First Coming of Christ, the Jewish people as a body (though not every individual) rejected the Messiah, that the gospel might turn and bring salvation to the Gentiles. However, when “the full number of the Gentiles [has] come in,” the gospel will turn back to the Jewish people and as a body they will accept the Messiah.

Heh - I know - just saying if some guy shows up on the 18 th claiming to be messiah I expect him to be the anti-messiah

What if we convert you all first? Go Old-School, Braugh. Hear O Israel, the L-rd is our G-d, the L-rd is ONE. Say it with me brother— You are cleansed. Thank me.

[Phinneous]

You know-- Ok. It's Elul. I'll tell this and then teshuvah.... You know the rosh hateivot famous for Elul... Ani l'dodi, vdodi li.... (highlighted in Lubavitch) And for the Litvishe-- Oy li, v'voy li.... and for the Breslov: אני לאומאנ ואשׁתי לאזאזאל

[Zathras]

Close to zero chance of that happening

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

How so?

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Thank you. Of course as a Christian I believe that Jews are the chosen people. They are a peculiar people and they must be defended at all costs. My savior is Jewish, so it’s hard to see them in any other light.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Not yet.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

We’ll see.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Jew- “we need no Temple.”

God- “You need to do research.”

[Adder]

Yall gonna be surprised when He looks like Jesus.
