Chapter 41a - IS GOD SITTING NEXT TO HIMSELF?

Continued from Chapter 40 (Psalms 110:1) Who’s your daddy? On the basis of Mark 12:35-37, Christians ask: “If the Jewish Messiah is not the Son of God, how do you answer Jesus’ question?” The Messiah is the Son of David. Yet David calls him “Lord.” How can David call the Messiah “Lord” if he is David’s descendant? Some Christians answer that the Messiah is David’s descendant according to his humanity and David’s Lord according to his divinity ̶ ̶ he is God come down from Heaven and incarnat

Chapter 41b - IS GOD SITTING NEXT TO HIMSELF?

Continued from Chapter 41a God cannot be separate from Himself The privilege of sitting at the right hand is a mark of distinction (1 Kings 2:19). The terminology “sit at My right hand” is used here as an idiomatic expression showing God’s favoritism toward David. When God invites David to “sit at My right hand,” it is to show the privileged position enjoyed by David in his relationship with God. It is not to be taken as literally indicating anyone actually sitting at God’s right hand. Simil

Chapter 44 - ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN

Chapter 44 - ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN

Continued from Chapter 43 (Daniel 7:13-14, 27) Christians often cite Daniel 7:13-14 as proof that the Messiah is to be a divine being. The text reads: I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of days, and he was brought near before Him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him [shaltaneih]; his dominion is an everlasting dominio

Why Don’t Jews See Jesus in The Scriptures?

Why Don’t Jews See Jesus in The Scriptures?

Many Christians have a very difficult time understanding how it is possible for Jewish people to study their Bible and fail to see it pointing to Jesus as the Jewish Messiah. Is it possible, as the Greek Testament claims, that Satan has blinded the Jews who now have a veil covering their eyes? (II Corinthians 3:14-15, 4:3-4; Romans 11:7, 25) Or is it possible that Christians have been seeing a mirage? There are many passages where the Bible clearly speaks about the Messiah who would one day com

Jesus Codes - Uses and Abuses - Part 3

Jesus Codes - Uses and Abuses - Part 3

By: Rabbi Daniel Mechanic1 (In consultation with Doron Witztum2 and Harold Gans3) DANIEL MECHANIC is a senior international Codes lecturer and researcher for the Aish Hatorah/Discovery Seminar. He would like to thank Dr. Jeffrey Satinover - a world-renowned author on Codes- for his helpful comments. This article has been split into 4 parts - read Part 1, Part 2 and Part 4 as well. Rambsel and Jeffrey's "codes methodology" produces illogical and contradictory results and is, therefore, not valid

Properly Understanding The Prophet's Meaning of The Holy of Holies

Continued from Part 2 Anointing the Holy of Holies The expression “and to anoint the Holy of Holies” refers to the reestablished Second Temple (Ezekiel 46:12) and the office of high priest (1 Chronicles 23:13).3  With all the tremendous positive strides made during the Second Temple period a national and spiritual disunity prevailed. Temple expansion by the cruel Herod the Great, an avarice priestly hierarchy starting with the Hasmoneans debased the priesthood and its function impeding the t

The Problem Around The Suffering Servant Continually Attributed To Jesus

Continued from Part 1 ISAIAH 52:13-15 52:13:  “Behold My servant” The phrase, “My servant,” presents a problem for the trinitarian doctrine:  servant and master are two separate entities.  A servant by definition is always in an inferior position to his master.  John’s Jesus acknowledges:  “A slave is not greater than his master, neither one who is sent greater than the one who sent him” (John 13:16).  The sending of Jesus would have taken place while the trinity trio supposedly were all equa

To Whom The “Arm of The Lord” Has Been Revealed

Continued from Part 3 ISAIAH 53:1 53:1:  “Who would have believed our report [literally, “what we have heard”]?” As we enter chapter 53, a change of speakers occurs.  In Isaiah 52:13-15 God is the speaker, now in verses 1-8 it is as if it were the representative spokesman for the gentile nations who is speaking.  The spokesman declares:  “Who would have believed our report?” The gentile nations, as expressed through their spokesman, can scarcely believe what they have to say let alone expect
