MESSIANIC PROPHECIES

The purpose of this study, is to go back and read what was prophesied and expected of the Messiah and also to see what the witnesses in the New Testament said of him as well.  Does it measure up to mainstream teaching?  I also want to say due to lack of space, there were many, many other prophetic Scriptures that were not addressed, as well as partial quotes in this pamphlet.  My apologies.  Study on!

Yahweh says in Deuteronomy 17:15 “the king whom you appoint to rule you must be CHOSEN by Yahweh your Elohim; the appointment of a king must be made from your OWN BROTHERS;…”

The witness of Matthew 12:18, quotes Isaiah 42:1-4 and states that Messiah fulfills the prophecy which states: “Look! My servant whom I have CHOSEN,...”

Also in Matthew 12:49-50 Messiah’s witness of who his kinfolks are states:  “…Here are MY MOTHER and MY BROTHERS.  Anyone who does the will of MY FATHER in heaven is MY BROTHER and SISTER and MOTHER.”

Yahweh is Messiah’s Father as well as ours!  Therefore, Messiah is our Brother and our chosen (BY YAHWEH), King!

Moshe/Moses told the Israelites in Deuteronomy 18:15+18-19 “Yahweh your Elohim will raise up a PROPHET like ME (Moshe); you will listen to him …I shall PUT MY (YAHWEH’S) WORDS INTO HIS MOUTH AND HE WILL TELL THEM EVERYTHING THAT I COMMAND HIM.”

We read in Deuteronomy 31:7-8:  “Moshe then summoned Yahoshua/ Joshua and, in the presence of all Israel, said to him, ‘Be strong, stand firm; YOU WILL BE THE ONE to go with this people into the country which Yahweh has sworn to their ancestors that he would give them; YOU ARE TO BE THE ONE who puts them in possession of it.  Yahweh himself will lead you; he will be WITH you;…”

Yahoshua son on Nun DID lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, but due to reasons we will not go into here, we know it didn’t last.  We now look forward to the time Yahoshua Messiah leads us into the Promised Land PERMENATELY!

Hebrews 4:8 PROVES Deuteronomy 18 and 31 are Messianic prophesies. “If Yahoshua (of Nun) had led them into this place of rest, Yahweh would not later have spoken of another day.” 

Yahoshua Messiah can help us sum up what has been covered so far, as we read Mark 6:4:  “…A PROPHET  is despised only in HIS OWN COUNTRY, among HIS OWN RELATIONS and in HIS OWN HOUSE.” 

The Davidic Prophecies

2 Samuel 7:8-10+12-14: “This is what you must say to my servant David, “Yahweh Sabaoth says this: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be LEADER FOR MY PEOPLE ISRAEL; I have been with you wherever you went; I have got rid of all your enemies for you.  I am going to make your fame as great as the fame of the greatest on earth.  I am going to PROVIDE A PLACE  for my people ISRAEL; I Shall plant them there, and there they will live and never be disturbed again; nor will they be oppressed by the wicked anymore, as they were in former times.”… “And when your days are over and you FALL ASLEEP with your ancestors, I shall APPOINT your heir, your own SON to succeed you (and I shall make his sovereignty secure.  He will build a temple for my name) and I shall make his royal throne secure forever.  I SHALL BE A FATHER TO HIM AND HE A SON TO ME;…”

In 2 Sam 7:18-19,  David, in response says, “… “Who am I, Adoni Yahweh, and what is MY LINEAGE, for you to have led me as far as this?  Yet, to you, Adoni Yahweh, this seemed too little, and now you extend your promises for your servant’s family into the DISTANT FUTURE....”

These prophecies of Messiah are similar to the ones regarding Yahoshua son of Nun.  Solomon was the son after David true, but the Temple he built was not forever as the future one shall be. Moreover, Solomon was anointed king while king David was still alive!  (See 1 Kings 1:28-40)  The prophecies that involved both Yahoshua of Nun and Solomon, came partially true, pointing to the times to come.  Notice we have not yet seen a time when Scripture states this CHOSEN KING would be Elohim Yahweh himself!

What about Psalm 110?

“Yahweh declared to my Adon, ‘Take your seat at my right hand, till I have made your enemies your footstool.’  Yahweh will stretch out the scepter of your power; from Zion you will rule your foes all around you.  Royal dignity has been yours from the DAY OF YOUR BIRTH, sacred honor from THE WOMB, from the dawn of your youth.  YAHWEH HAS SWORN AN OATH HE WILL NEVER RETRACT, YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER OF THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.”

This is also a prophecy.  A prophecy is the word of Yahweh being told to us, to tell us what is coming.  There is ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE here that Yahoshua Messiah PRE-EXISTED and yet people try to use this passage to say that it is so!  Even the statement “in order of Melchizedek” shows he exists AFTER Melchizedek!  David’s future Adon will have honor from the time he is CONCIEVED!  One other important thing one should study, is the fact that the word “ADON” IS USED FOR YAHWEH AND HUMANS, while “ADONI”, IS ONLY USED FOR YAHWEH!

Who was Melchizedek?  “…he was a Priest of El Most High.” And King of Salem. Genesis 14:18

MORE “TWO TIME” PROPHECIES FULFILLED

“As many as the stars of heaven”

Abram’s great reward, Genesis 15:4: “Then Yahweh’s word came to him in reply, ‘…YOUR HEIR WILL BE THE ISSUE OF YOUR OWN BODY.”

Thus we have Isaac, Genesis 21:12: “…for Isaac is the one through whom your name will be carried on.”

And thus we also have Yahoshua.  Read Romans 4, then we read Romans 5:1-2:  “So then now that we have been justified by faith, we are at peace with Yahweh THROUGH our Adon Yahoshua Messiah; it is THROUGH him, by faith, that we have been admitted into Yahweh’s favor in which we are living, and look forward exultantly to Yahweh’s glory.”

Ever see Joseph’s life and dreams as prophecy?

Genesis 37:9-10: “,… ‘Look, I have had another dream,’ he said.  “There were the SUN, the MOON and ELEVEN STARS bowing to me.’…(His father said) “Are all of us then, MYSELF, your MOTHER and your BROTHERS, to come and bow to the ground before you?”

Yahoshua Messiah and Joseph was from one of the 12 tribes of Israel.  Point being, Joseph and Yahoshua’s rulership is foretold as coming from 12 BROTHERS.  No hint of being a man-god here.

What about Isaiah 9:6?

“For a son has been born to us, a son has been given to us, and dominion has been laid on his shoulders; and the is the name he has been given, ‘Wonder-Counselor, Mighty-El, Eternal-Ancestor, Prince of Peace.”

One thing I have discovered is that the titles listed above are similar to those found in coronation rescripts of Egyptian pharaohs.  Another thing is you can also turn two chapters over and read what it says there.  Is this not about the same person?

Isaiah 11:1-3:  “A shoot will spring from the stock of JESSE, a NEW SHOOT will grow from HIS ROOTS.  On him will rest THE SPIRIT OF YAHWEH, the spirit of wisdom and insight, the spirit of counsel and power, the spirit of knowledge and FEAR OF YAHWEH: his inspiration will lie in FEARING YAHWEH.  His judgment will not be by appearances, his verdict not given on hearsay.”

I don’t hear of too many people not admitting that this is Messianic prophecy.  Yet the majority still tries to keep a tradition that says Yahoshua is Yahweh?  It doesn’t make any sense!

Luke 2:40: “And as the child grew to maturity, he was FILLED with WISDOM; and Yahweh’s FAVOR was with him.”

John 3:34: “since he whom Yahweh has sent speaks Yahweh’s own words, for YAHWEH GIVES HIM SPIRIT WITHOUT RESERVE.”  (Truth-that makes sense!)
