The Importance of Messianic Prophecy 0:09 Reaching Israel and the world.0:24 Shalom alaikum, peace to you beloved ones, and Baruch HaShem. Bless the name of the Lord. You know, the book of Hebrews tells us that in times past, Father God spoke to our0:36 forefathers and the prophets in many portions and in many ways, but in these last days has spoken to us through his son who is the exact representation of0:48 his nature. And in today's series on messianic prophecy, we're gonna see the rays of light through which Messiah was revealed to our forefathers in the Hebrew Bible and to the prophets, and we're1:00 gonna see how these rays of light all culminated in the person of Yeshua as we focus, honey, today on messianic prophecy.1:08 Wow. I know. I I'm anticipating the light of Yeshua to come through the message today that will be just a brilliant light from heaven above straight1:20 through this message and the prophetic, nature of his word.1:25 Amen. You know, messianic prophecy, it really strengthens us in our faith because Christians today and believers in Messiah Yeshua, Jewish believers in Messiah Jesus, we are faced with a1:37 culture that tells us we're ignorant, narrow minded bigots for claiming that Yeshua is the only way. But when we see how Jesus fulfills the prophecies of the Hebrew Bible, it strengthens our spiritual1:49 spine so we can stand erect in this culture saying, Jesus is the way to God.2:04 Shalom alaikum, peace to you beloved ones. I'm continuing a study today on Messianic prophecy. I encourage you if you didn't watch last week's episode, go back and watch it. Let me2:16 share with you first of all, why Messianic prophecy is so important. We're living in a culture today where more and more, because of the culture of political2:28 correctness, believers in Yeshua are shrinking back and taking a posture of being politically correct. Many believers today, rather than2:40 stating their testimony rooted in God's word that Yeshua is the only way to heaven, instead what many believers are doing today is simply saying, well, you know, I'm a Christian. I I believe2:52 in Jesus, but, you know, I don't make any judgments about the other religions of the world. I mean, if you're practicing this religion, that's fine. If you're practicing, this path, that's fine. And they're3:03 shrinking away from standing with the word of God, which teaches there is no way unto the father, Jesus said, but through him. And so when we understand3:17 that Jesus' claims are not only exclusive, they're not inclusive in the sense that they include every man can find his own path to God, rather they're exclusive because Jesus said3:28 no man cometh to the father but through me. When we understand that his claims are exclusive, when we understand that it's gonna take strength to stand in those exclusive claims in3:40 the culture that we're living in today, which is so politically correct that basically society teaches that everybody's right no matter what path they're on. When we understand those two3:52 things, then we can understand why messianic prophecy is so important to the believer. Because messianic prophecy will help you beloved one know that even though you're living in a4:04 culture where the majority of people would accuse you of being bigoted, narrow minded, and primitive if you say that Jesus is the only way to God, when you understand messianic4:16 prophecy, you'll become more convinced than ever that Yeshua is the only path to God, and you'll have the confidence and the boldness to continue to be a witness for him in4:28 this wicked and perverse generation in which we live. Now you may be saying to yourself, well, I'm not ashamed of Jesus. But let me ask you this question. If you have a Facebook site,4:40 are you posting anything about Jesus on your Facebook site? Now Baruch Hashem, I know a lot of you are. But for many of you that are watching right now, perhaps you're not putting your testimony of4:52 faith in the Lord out there on your Facebook site. Why? Because of the culture that we're living in, because you don't wanna be rejected. But I want you to hear me today. All that desire to live godly in5:04 Christ Jesus will be persecuted. We have a mission, church, on this earth, and our mission is to be his witnesses. Yeshua said, I'm gonna send forth my spirit upon you, and5:16 you will receive his power and become my witnesses. As the father sent me, so also now I send you. Messianic prophecy will help gird you in5:27 strength and in the truth of the word of God so you can fulfill your mission of being a bold witness for Jesus. Now to illustrate my point how important messianic prophecy5:39 is, we should take note of the fact that the New Testament begins by showing us how Yeshua fulfills messianic prophecy. And the way the New Testament does5:51 that is by tracing Yeshua's genealogy all the way back to Abraham, through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, through Judah, through David to show thatMessianic Prophecy Fulfills Israel's History 6:03 Yeshua is in truth the prophesied one that would come, that would be the Messiah of Israel and the savior of the world. Now last week, what I was talking about was the fact6:14 that our understanding of messianic prophecy needs to be expanded. Because some of us have the notion that when we're speaking of Messianic prophecy, we're only6:26 talking about predictions that the Old Testament made about what would happen when Messiah came. A prediction is something that will happen in the6:38 future that we're anticipating to happen. And some messianic prophecies are of that vein. But many messianic prophecies are not that Yeshua6:49 fulfilled a prediction, but rather how He filled Israel's history up with meaning. You see, Jesus, Yeshua, is Israel's divine head.7:02 And Yeshua is the aim of the Hebrew Bible. So what the New Testament writers did, what those that wrote the Brit Chadashah, the new covenant scriptures did, is they took7:13 scriptures from the law of Moses, the prophets and the Psalms, and they showed that Yeshua fulfilled them, not because He was necessarily fulfilling something predictive,7:26 but that He was filling them up with meaning. And so on last week's broadcast, I used the example in Matthew chapter two. In Matthew chapter two, we read about how that when7:37 Yeshua was born, Herod the king heard that a king had been born. And so in fear of losing his place, Herod started7:49 killing the male Hebrew children. As a result of this, an angel came to Joseph, Yeshua's father, and said, take the child to Egypt. Then when Herod died,8:02 the Lord led Joseph to take Jesus back into Israel. And then Matthew says, thus fulfilling... There's Messianic prophecy. Matthew records in8:14 Matthew two thirteen through fifteen, thus fulfilling the word that was spoken to the prophet. So when we read this, that when Joseph took8:26 Yeshua back in to Israel, he was fulfilling what was wrote... Written by the Hebrew prophet. Out of curiosity, many of you will say, well, what Hebrew prophet wrote that? And8:37 if you did some research, what you'd find is that there's only one place in the Hebrew Bible where we have that statement being written, out of Egypt did I call my son. It's in the book of Hosea chapter eleven verse one.8:50 Now I know this is review for those of you that were with me last week, so just be patient for a minute while I bring everybody up to speed. When you go to Hosea chapter eleven verse one and read that scripture,9:02 out of Egypt did I call my son, you say, wow, that doesn't really look like it was Messianic prophecy according to the way many of us understood Messianic prophecy9:14 because we understood many of us Messianic prophecy to be about predictions of the future. But Hosea eleven one is not a prediction of the future.9:26 Instead, what's happening, church, in Hosea eleven one is God is simply talking about Israel's past. He's talking about how Israel was a slave in Egypt9:38 under Pharaoh and how God called his son Israel out of Egypt, out of the oppression of Pharaoh. So how then with that being said, knowing that Hosea9:50 eleven one was not predictive and in fact it had already been fulfilled, how then does Matthew use that saying that Yeshua fulfilled it? Matthew is using it, beloved ones, in a10:02 way by showing how Yeshua, Jesus, as Israel's divine head brought Israel's history up to its fullest meaning in His life,10:14 ministry and person. And so even as Israel was called out of Egypt under Pharaoh, so too God called Yeshua out of Egypt after Herod had passed away.10:40 I wanna thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being those that will disciple these new believers so father god in Jesus' name I10:52 wanna thank you for these that you've called forth to be laborers in the vineyard. God bless you. I love you guys.11:04 Amen. So I just wanna tell you, when you received Jesus, the life of God came11:16 inside you. And you're born again. And everything is gonna change in your life. As you follow11:28 through on this and as you yield your life to God. Now we brought for you today some copies of the gospel of John. So you're11:39 gonna read the word of God. I want you to read it through every day. And then you're gonna go to a church where you trust the pastor. And then you're gonna come to the11:51 baptism on Monday. At ten AM. I love you guys. I'll see you tonight. Bring a friend. Okay? Okay. God bless12:03 everybody.12:06 Is the Lord leading you to help Rabbi Schneider around the world?

Visit discovering the Jewish Jesus dot com or call eight hundred seven seven seven seven eight three five to confirm your part in helping a rabbi build up12:42 believers in their faith and change lives all over the world.12:50 Messianic prophecy comes in many narratives, but understand that the entire Hebrew Bible once again is pointing to Yeshua. And so I'm13:02 gonna be covering types and shadows in the Hebrew Bible. And then after we cover types and shadows in the Hebrew Bible and messianic prophecy of that texture, then what I'm gonna13:14 do is I'm gonna move in to specific, measurable predictions of the future that the Old Testament or Tanakh made regarding the life and person and ministry13:26 of the Messiah. With that said, I wanna give you another example of this to help you even fully comprehend my point here. I'm going now to13:38 the book of Matthew, chapter number thirteen. Yeshua is speaking here and He says this. Therefore, I speak to them in parables, because while seeing, they13:49 do not see. And while hearing, they do not hear, nor do they understand. In their case, the prophecy of Isaiah... Notice that word prophecy14:01 because we're talking about messianic prophecy. So Yeshua says here, in their case, the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, and then He quotes the word in14:13 Isaiah, you will keep on hearing, but will not understand. You will keep on seeing, but will not perceive. Now where in Isaiah is14:25 Yeshua pulling this from? Beloved, He's pulling this from Isaiah's calling. The Lord comes to Isaiah and calls him. So I'm gonna read of this now beginning in14:37 Isaiah chapter number six verse eight. Isaiah speaking. He says, then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send and who will go for us? And then I said,14:49 Here am I. Send me. He said, Go and tell this people, keep on listening, but do not perceive. Keep on looking,15:01 but do not understand. And so once again, a similar instance is taking place. The instance that Yeshua said is being fulfilled in Him15:13 in Matthew thirteen that originally happened in Isaiah chapter six was not a prediction in Isaiah six. What was happening in Isaiah six was God had15:24 simply called Isaiah into ministry. God said go. Isaiah said, I'm gonna go, Lord. And then the Lord said to him, Isaiah, you're gonna speak. They're not gonna hear. They're not15:36 gonna understand. They're not gonna see. And so Yeshua is ministering now. He's speaking in parables. And He's... As He's speaking in parables, the people don't understand, they don't see,15:48 they don't perceive. And Yeshua said, in this instance, the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled. So once again, the scripture in its initial historical16:00 context in Isaiah was not a prediction. Yeshua, being the fulfillment of Israel's history, experiences the same thing that Isaiah experienced16:12 and brings the word that Isaiah experienced into its climactical fulfillment. And so Jesus says, this word that was spoken through Isaiah, it's finding its ultimate fulfillment16:24 in me. It's happening once again, Yeshua said, in my ministry, and thus, it's being fulfilled even to the maximum place. And so Jesus16:35 fills Israel's history up with meaning here. This practice, as I shared last week, of taking scriptures16:48 in their original historical context and then adding interpretation and adding levels of revelation and meaning to them, beloved, this is not something that17:00 originated in the New Testament. This has been the rabbinic way for thousands of years. I shared with you last week that today, young children that are being educated17:12 in yeshivas are are learning this from an early age. As they mature towards adulthood and continue with their study in the yeshiva, which is like a Jewish seminary,17:23 each boy will have a partner and they'll sit across the table from each other studying the Talmud, which is a a a a Jewish, a compilation of writings dealing with17:37 how to apply the Torah and commentary on the Torah, the yeshiva partners will look at a verse in the Talmud and they will try to give it as many new meanings17:49 and interpretations as possible. The the imagination is the limit. And as you look at rabbinic writings, you'll find that oftentimes, they took scriptures in the Hebrew Bible and18:01 gave them a whole new meaning, and it was accepted within Israel. So what the New Testament writers did here in taking sections of the Hebrew Bible out of their original historical context18:13 and applying them to Yeshua, beloved, This has been the Jewish way for thousands of years already. What I'd like to do now is move forward,18:25 and I wanna talk about specific types and shadows in the Tanakh that pointed to Yeshua. Again, we're taking a broad brush now. Later on in the series,18:37 we're gonna look at specific verses, predictive verses. But first, we're gonna look at these typological incidents in the Tanakh and how they all were being fulfilled18:49 in the ministry of Messiah Jesus. It's very deep, very beautiful, and very full of meaning and insight. Let's begin with the whole concept of blood in the Hebrew Bible.Types and Shadows Pointing to Yeshua 19:01 The book of Aviikra or Leviticus chapter seventeen verse eleven says this, that the life of the flesh is in the blood. And I've given it to you on the altar, sayeth the Lord,19:13 to make an atonement for your soul. For it's the blood by reason of its life that makes atonement. All through the entire Hebrew Bible, we see how important19:25 blood is. So that, for example, Israel's birth as a nation oftentimes is referred to as taking place when God delivered them out of Egypt. How did19:37 God deliver them out of Egypt? Beloved, it was through the blood of the lamb that they applied on their doorpost. Then the Lord took them out of Egypt through the blood of the lamb, brought them to Mount Sinai.19:49 Moses went on top of the mountain. He was there, as we know, for forty days and forty nights. He received HaShem, He received Father God's divine revelation and covenant. He came down from the mountain.20:01 And when He came down from the mountain, He assembled all Israel before Him and He read the covenant to Israel. And Israel said after Moses read the covenant,20:13 Israel said to Moses in the presence of HaShem, in the presence of God, all that He has said we will do. And when Israel accepted the covenant, the Bible20:25 tells us Moses then, listen, sprinkled them with blood. Notice, I'm tracing now the line of blood to the Hebrew Bible. Why am I tracing the line of blood to the20:37 Hebrew Bible when we're talking about Messianic prophecy? Because Yeshua's ministry climaxed with the shedding of His blood. And all these incidents of the blood in the Hebrew20:48 Bible, they were all pointing to Yeshua, to whom the entire Hebrew Bible aims. What continues to happen in the Hebrew Bible as it relates to blood? Well, as Moses begins21:00 to teach Israel about certain holy days that must be celebrated to to Father God, to Yahweh, to the Father God of all creation, he gives us a21:12 calendar. And the holiest day in the calendar is called Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. And Moses told the children of Israel in the book of Numbers exactly how Yom Kippur21:24 needed to be celebrated. The priest needed to take the blood of a bull and the blood of a goat. And the high priest took the blood of the bull and the blood of the goat.21:36 He brought it inside the most sacred place in the earth, the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle, which was later developed into a permanent temple in Jerusalem.21:48 And inside the Holy of Holies was the Ark of the Covenant. Inside the Ark of the Covenant were the ten commandments. The high priest on Yom Kippur took the blood of22:00 the bull and the blood of the goat, brought it into that Holy of Holies, and poured it on top of the Ark of the Covenant, oftentimes referred to as the mercy seat. And when the Lord saw22:11 the blood of the innocent animal on top of the of of of of the Ark of the Covenant where the Torah was kept, where the ten commandments rather were kept, He forgave the sins of the children of22:23 Israel because the life of the flesh is in the blood. And the Lord gave it to us to make an atonement for your soul. Do you see why Jesus had to die on the cross and why his blood22:35 need to be shed? Why that they needed to take that spear and thrust it in his side so that the blood came out, so the final atonement could be made? Because the only way that man22:47 could ever have access to God is when blood was shed indicating that an innocent one had died in the place of the guilty. All the sacrifices in the Hebrew Bible, all the blood that22:59 spilled was just a shadow that was fulfilled in King Jesus who fulfilled all the Messianic prophecy in the Torah and in the Tanakh. Beloved, I hope you'll be23:11 with me next week. You may even want to take notes on this. Sometime you may be able to teach it to a friend yourself.
