#3 MORE MESSIANIC CLUES!

We’re looking for the Jewish ‘Messiah’ - a Son of David who identified with despised Galilee after returning from Egypt, who was announced, who was identified by God, who healed many people and who finally rode a donkey into Jerusalem – right on time – before the Romans destroyed the city in AD70. Don’t forget He also had to have been born of a virgin!

What does the TANAKH (OT) say would happen to Him next?...and yes, that includes Isaiah 53 - taboo in Jewish synagogues.                              

He will..

·       enter the temple with authority

·       be rejected by Jewish leaders

·       be betrayed by a close friend

·       be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, used to buy the potter’s field

·       be forsaken by friends

·       be plotted against by Jewish and Gentile leaders

·       be slapped, beard ripped, spat on, mocked, beaten

·       be flogged as a criminal. Isaiah 53

·       be executed by crucifixion, hands and feet pierced

·       offered vinegar to relieve thirst

·       be unrecognisable

·       as the Passover Lamb, have no bones broken

·       be speared

·       be buried as a rich man. Isaiah 53

·       be raised from the dead. Isaiah 53

·       ascend to the right hand of God

·       be accepted by Gentiles

…most of which He will have no human control over!

So let’s see if anyone exactly fitted the description written centuries before, but first we’re going to look in on a Jewish Sabbath service…….click on:
