His Historical Appearance Messianic Series Volume Five Isa. 1:18 לכו־נא ונוכחה יאמר יהוה “Come now and let us reason together, saith Jehovah” MESSIAH: HIS HISTORICAL APPEARANCE BY DAVID L. COOPER., TH.M., PH.D., LITT.D. Founder and President, Biblical Research Society Editor, Biblical Research Monthly Bible Teacher To the remnant of Israel of the end time who are thirsting for God and for fellowship with Him is this Volume Affectionately Dedicated Copyrighted 1958 by David L. Cooper The Scripture quotations in this volume are taken from the American Standard Version, published 1901 Library of Congress, Catalogue Card Number 58-11078 biblicalresearch.info 1 Preface This treatise, Messiah: His Historical Appearance, is the fifth book of the Messianic Series, which, when completed, will contain seven volumes. The four preceding works are The God of Israel, Messiah: His Nature and Person, Messiah: His Redemptive Career, and Messiah: His First Coming Scheduled. The last two are Messiah: His Second Coming Imminent and Messiah: His Final Call to Israel. In this the fifth book of the Series we come to grips with the greatest question that has ever engaged the attention of man—that which pertains to Jesus of Nazareth, a historical personage concerning whom multiplied millions of people, both in the past and at the present time, have been convinced by positive evidence that He was a historical person (as the late Dr. Stephen S. Wise declared), that He was what He claimed to be, and what the four evangelists—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—say that He was. The Apostle John declared, in Revelation 19:11, that "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." According to this statement, all revelation revolves around Him, His life, and His labors. Jesus of Nazareth, speaking figuratively, is the leading actor in the great drama of life as presented in the Old and New Testament Scriptures. But in modern times a section of the world of scholarship imbued with and motivated by the spirit of scientific investigation, apart from divine revelation, calls in question, more or less, the authority of the Scriptures and their message. Rationalism has largely captured the thinking of the man of the twentieth century and is dominating it. I hasten to affirm, however, that there are many scholars who have refused to bow to the dictates of this modern god of rationalism, skepticism, and doubt. This Baal of modernism at whose shrine very many scholars bow and worship is dictating the life and thinking of multitudes in the educational world, as well as in the religious sphere. I am constrained, therefore, to biblicalresearch.info 2 begin the investigation concerning the historical Jesus by noting very briefly some general principles of scientific research and some prophecies regarding the Almighty's revelation to Israel and to the world. This treatise in the unabridged edition naturally falls into four sections— Book One: some general principles taught by scientific observation, practical experience, logical thinking, and open-mindedness to see and to accept truth wherever found—this part of the treatise prepares the reader for an impartial and candid examination of the truths, evidence, and facts presented; Book Two: some dominant prophecies taught by the Eternal Creator in His revelation to Israel, according to Moses, the Prophets, and the writers of the New Testament—this section, which draws its material largely from the messages of Moses and the Prophets, paves the way for the reader's understanding of the testimony presented by the Apostle Matthew, an associate of Jesus and an eyewitness of the things concerning which he has written; Book Three: the inspired testimony of the Apostle Matthew, an eyewitness—with explanatory notes; Book Four: the necessity of the Mosaic doctrine of blood atonement examined scripturally and philosophically. The abridged edition consists largely of Book Three of the unabridged volume, with some material drawn from other portions of the work. This smaller edition is for the masses who do not have time or inclination to examine the great bulk of material that bears upon the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth. In 1936 I began work on this fifth volume of the Messianic Series. That year I was engaged largely in doing research in some of the principal libraries of Europe. Since then I have worked on this volume as I have had opportunity. The major part of my time and energy, of course, has been consumed by the multitudinous duties connected with the Biblical Research Society in its world-wide ministry. During these years, I have spent literally thousands upon thousands of hours in the study of this subject. biblicalresearch.info 3 Ordinarily, a volume such as this one should have a bibliography. My reason for not including a list of the works consulted is that I have examined literally hundreds of volumes in my quest for facts and data that might throw new light upon Messiah's historical appearance. My studies took me to such libraries as the Library of Congress, the British Museum, the Bibliotheque Nationale, the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, and the library of the Pontificio Istituto Biblico. In my three visits to the Holy Land, I made special investigation of any facts or phenomena that might throw light upon my subject. In all my studies I have, of course, consulted standard works, as well as many others which gave promise of help. If I were to attempt to present the list of books consulted during my long period of research, I would not know where to stop. I am indebted to various members of the staff and to friends for assisting me in this work—especially to my late private secretary, Miss Annabel Lee Crumly, who went to be with the Lord in October, 1955, for the invaluable assistance that she rendered. To Miss Aurora Fluker, chief office secretary, I likewise am indebted for typing my dictation and for assisting me in innumerable ways in the prosecution of the work. To Miss Olive W. Parsons, Ph.D., my assistant, I am greatly indebted for many suggestions and invaluable assistance in the final editing of this volume. To my faithful, loyal wife, Florence Lita Cooper, who has been an inspiration to me throughout the years, I owe everything, humanly speaking, in the production of this volume. Without her loyal co-operation and prayer life, it could never have appeared. To David L., Jr., our elder son, vice-president and business manager of Biblical Research Society, I owe much; for he has relieved me of most biblicalresearch.info 4 administrative duties and enabled me to give more time to the production of this work. To many prayer warriors and friends throughout the world who have been praying, and who have been giving as they could, I likewise am greatly indebted. To Mr. Robert S. Smethers, assistant manager of The Evangelical Press, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where this book was printed, I am most grateful for his co-operation and sympathetic assistance in producing this volume. To Mr. and Mrs. James L. Mitchell, members of our praying family, I am especially indebted for their assistance in various ways. Mrs. Mitchell did special tedious work in connection with the final draft of the manuscript. To my good friends H. Leo Eddleman, Ph.D.; Charles L. Feinberg, Th.D., Ph. D.; Harry J. Hager, Ph.D.; and Wilbur M. Smith, D.D., I am greatly indebted for their taking the time from their busy lives to read and review this volume in galley form. I appreciate and gratefully accept their suggestions. To my good friend F. Kenton Beshore, Pastor of First Baptist Church in Oceanside, California, I am greatly indebted for assisting me in Bible Conference work and in otherwise enabling me to devote my time to this volume. To the Board of Directors of Biblical Research Society, I am indeed grateful for the spirit of co-operation and sympathetic understanding which they have given me during the long years of the preparation and production of this volume, without which I could never have completed it. If the reader is to get the full force of the message of this treatise, he should have a Bible at hand and look up each reference in its context. The best translation in the English language, in my opinion, is the American Standard Version, 1901 edition—though it is not free from imperfections. biblicalresearch.info 5 In my translation of the Gospel according to Matthew, I have endeavored to give a literal translation wherever possible. At times it is not wise to follow the original text too slavishly. The Greek idioms frequently do not correspond to the English idioms. The translator is supposed to use his best judgment in such instances. There is danger of paraphrasing at times. The translator, therefore, must be very careful not to inject into the translation his own ideas. As the reader peruses the comments which I make upon the text of the Gospel according to Matthew in Book Three, Chapters XVII to XXXII, he may wonder why comments are made on certain subjects whereas nothing is said on other points which may seem to him to merit discussion. Personally, I would like to comment on each verse—an absolute impossibility because of lack of space. I have, therefore, chosen those subjects which, as I see the situation, demand special treatment in this treatise. I ask the reader to bear in mind that this volume is the fifth of my Messianic Series. Knowing what has been presented in the first four volumes, I have selected and treated the topics accordingly. With a note of praise in my heart, and with a prayer upon my lips that God will use this volume in bringing His truth to countless numbers of His Chosen People, Israel, as well as to truth seekers among all nations, I send this volume forth.

  • Pathway of the Perfect Man a Collection of Articles
    J. FLANNIGAN PATHWAY OF THE PERFECT MAN A COLLECTION OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED BY TRUTH AND TIDINGS The Pathway of the Perfect Man (1): Bethlehem Flanigan, Jim There are six places in the Gospels whose names begin with “Beth.” They are: Bethlehem, Bethabara, Bethsaida, Bethesda, Bethphage, and Bethany. The prefix “Beth” means “The House of,” and these places seem to touchingly chart the Life and Ministry of the Lord Jesus, coming into our world as He did at Bethlehem and finally leaving it from Bethany on the Mount of Olives. Between Bethlehem and Bethany lies that lovely pathway of the perfect Man. It is always a joy to those who love Him to trace that pathway, contemplating the beauties of a life which brought so much pleasure to God. Bethlehem means “The House of Bread” and to that House of Bread He came, He Who was the Bread of God (John 6:33). Bethlehem marked the beginning on earth of a life which, as John tells us, was the manifestation of a life which had been eternally with the Father (1John 1:2). Our fellowship is now with the Father as we also feast on the Bread of God. What emotions are stirred in the hearts of believers at every mention of Bethlehem. I stood one day with an aged saint in the center of Bethlehem. At the realization of where he was, the dear man gripped my arm and as tears welled in his eyes and trickled down his cheeks all he could say was, “Is this Bethlehem? Is this Bethlehem?” What memories flood the hearts of those who love the Savior! A crowded inn; a manger; swaddling clothes; a quiet maid from Nazareth with her newborn Son; a few shepherds; a multitude of angels from the heavens announcing the birth.

    World WIZO Lapid Organization & Tourism Division No. 109 August 2013 Dear Chavera, This issue of the "LAPID" is the last for the year 2013/5773. The High Holidays are approaching, and we are all getting ready to receive the New Year in high spirits and good health. In the section on Holidays you will find an article on the process of self examination and personal change that characterizes the period from the beginning of the month of Elul until the end of Yom Kippur. As with most Jewish holidays, food plays an important role but more importantly holiday celebrations are a highly effective means of binding families and passing on traditions. We have included a collection of family-favorite recipes courtesy of WIZO chaverot around the globe. Enjoy! "Successful Jewish Woman" pays homage to Leah Gottlieb, founder of Gottex, the swimsuit brand that has put Israel on the map of high fashion. Sticking to the theme of water, making a splash in Hollywood is the Israeli series "Hatufim" on which Channel 4's US hit "Homeland" is based. On the subject of the "The Jewish World" we present the fascinating story of the unique Jewish community of Iquitos in the Peurvian Amazon which is a true testimony to the survival of spirit, belief and heritage. Thinking Israel and Germany usually ends up with thinking Holocaust. Contrary to this, the "Templer Saga" highlights the positive contribution of the German Templers to the State of Israel. On a less optimistic note "Antisemitism" addresses the harsh reality of anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli sentiments Jewish community leaders are grappling with.

  • Introduction to Galilee: Volumes 1 and 2
    Introduction to Galilee: Volumes 1 and 2 David A. Fiensy and James Riley Strange Galilee has fascinated historians for the last 150 years. Ernest Renan, the nineteenth-century biographer of Jesus, thought that ancient Galilee must have been a paradise. He referred to the area around Nazareth as “This enchanted circle. .” Galilee was “charming and idyllic” and was characterized by green, shade, beautiful flowers and small, gentle animals. “In no country in the world do the mountains spread themselves out with more harmony. Galilee, he thought, “spiritualised itself in ethereal dreams—in a kind of poetic mysticism, blending heaven and earth.”1 It was here in Renan’s dreamlike never-never-land that he pictured Jesus’ youth. What we need is a more sober appraisal of ancient Galilee. The research in the last thirty years has sought to do that, but, nevertheless, the current study of Galilee is fraught with con- flicting conclusions. If the Sermon on the Mount is known for its six Antitheses (Matt. 5:21- 48), scholars may look back on this period of research as the Antitheses of Galilee: (1) Some look at Galilee through the lenses of cultural anthropology and macro-sociology;2 others look at Galilee through the lenses of archaeology and reject the use of social theories.3 (2) Some 1.

  • Deconstructing Jesus, Or the Gospel According to Bruce
    DECONSTRUCTING JESUS, OR THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO BRUCE (On Bruce Chilton, Rabbi Jesus: An intimate biography New York &c.: Image Books, Doubleday, 2002 [2000]) by Jacob L. Mey A Christmas diversion I came across Bruce Chilton′s book during a recent trip, where I had an overlay of several hours in Denver, Colo., and used the time to inspect the airport′s book collections. The title struck a chord within me: of course Jesus had been a rabbi just like the other rabbis (such as Hillel, Gamliel, Shammai) whose qabbaloth I had been studying in my Hebrew class at the University of Texas just a few months earlier. I had been struck by the similarity of their teaching and the parables and sayings attributed to Jesus in the Gospels, and now this book offered itself as a welcome complement to my studies. In addition, some rave reviews by both Protestant and Catholic readers, quoted on the back cover, made me put this book on my Christmas wish list, and I used my spare time during the recent vacation to begin what I assumed would be a sheer reading pleasure. Little did I know... As it happened, it didn′t quite turn out the way I had foreseen. Much of my holiday was spent, as expected, in reading Chilton′s book and making notes in the margin; but also, my reading became more and more critical as I advanced in Chilton′s narrative. As it was, I experienced a growing frustration and irritation, and the best way of getting rid of those negative feelings seemed to me, as always, to have it out on paper.
