What the Rabbis don’t want you to know... www.aharithayamim.co.il ,Русский, Français, Português ,עברית العربية ,Español, Український, Deutsch Through the centuries, there have been many who have been accredited as the Messiah. Christians believe that it is Jesus of Nazareth (32 AD). Others The first book of the accredit men like Simon bar Kokhba (132 AD), Torah gives us the story of creation. We see that Adam Moses of Crete (440-470), Sabbatai Zevi (1626- and Eve lived in perfect fellowship 1676) and Nachman of Breslov (1772 –1810). with their Creator. Recently many of the followers of Menachem In Bereishit, the serpent tempts Eve Mendel Schneerson, who died in 1994, claim to eat of the fruit of the tree that him to be the Messiah. The rise of these Messiahs God said not to eat. continues to grow in many religions. Can we know for certain who the Messiah is and when He will Mankind was created to live forever, but when come? Do we even need a Messiah? For just a few Adam disobeyed God and ate of the fruit, it brought moments, let us examine these questions. death to humanity. The only reliable knowledge that one has of the Why do people die today? Physical death is a result Messiah is found in the Bible. of this sin. The Jewish Bible paints us such a detailed description regarding Not only did this sin bring physical death, but the Messiah that a person can it also brought separation not only know who the Messiah between man and God. is, but when He will come. In His righteousness, God pronounced judgment upon mankind, but in His love, He gave a promise of “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, hope and redemption to mankind. Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God spoke to the serpent and said, “And I will put thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou enmity between thee and the woman, and between eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” 2 | he Reality Why has the truth been hidden rom us for so long? | 3 The enmity between the future seed of the woman What else does God say about His Son? and the seed of the serpent is foretold. Rabbis have “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and long considered Psalm 2 says, ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled If sin had not entered this to be the but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust the world, there first gleam of in him.” would have been no a promise that God says that At first, God God would send a man will be blessed does not tell us need for the Messiah. a Redeemer, a who puts his trust in who this Messiah the Son, but man will Saviour, who would be The Messiah. If sin had is, but He begins not entered the world, there would have been no perish and have God’s judgment and wrath to paint us a vivid need for the Messiah. In bruising the head of the picture of Who serpent, thus overcoming him, the Messiah would upon him if he does be bruised and suffer through the process. not. He will be. At first, God does not tell us who this Messiah is, but Later, the Book of Micah chapter 5 states, “But He begins to paint us a vivid picture of Who He will thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little be so that we can know without a doubt Who He is among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall when He comes. In the Book of Proverbs chapter he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; 30, we are asked a question. In the beginning of the whose goings forth have been from of old, from verse it says, “Who hath ascended up into heaven, everlasting.” Here we are told where the Messiah or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his would be born: in Bethlehem. This eliminates fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who Schneerson, Nachman, Sabbatai Zevi, Moses of hath established all the ends of the earth? what is Crete, Simon bar Kokhba and many more. This his name...” It is clear that this is talking about God. verse not only tells us where He would be born, The last part of the verse is very interesting and but that He has been from everlasting. This tells us says, “and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?” something about His nature. He had no beginning; Does God have a son? He is more than just a man. He is eternal. He had no beginning; He is more than just a man. He is eternal. 4 | he Reality Why has the truth been hidden rom us for so long? | 5 Then, in the Book of Daniel, we are told when the In the Book of Daniel, we are told Messiah will come. Daniel was one of the many Jews when the Messiah will come. who were taken into captivity to Babylon. The First Temple had been destroyed by the Babylonians. As he begins to pray to God, confess his sins and the sins of the nation of Israel, God reveals to Daniel something great that He is going to do. Daniel chapter 9 states, “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness...” The relationship that God had between man and Himself in the Garden of Eden will be restored. God would bring full redemption, but first, the Messiah must be “cut off”. God showed Daniel in Babylon, 2,600 years ago, after the First Temple was destroyed, that Jerusalem Daniel was one of the many would be rebuilt and the date the Messiah will come. Jews who were taken into “Know therefore and understand, that from the captivity to Babylon. going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks:” From the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem by King Artaxerxes, to the coming of the Messiah is 483 years.

The Rabbis have not only hidden His identity from us, but have cursed those who simply want to know what God says regarding After 483 years, the Messiah will die Who the Messiah is and when He will come.

  • SCRIPTURE READING PLAN for 5779 (2018-2019) This Plan Takes the Torah and Haftarah Cycle As the Foundation for Reading Entire Bible
    SCRIPTURE READING PLAN FOR 5779 (2018-2019) This plan takes the Torah and Haftarah cycle as the foundation for reading entire Bible. Torah and Haftarah readings follow the one-year Jewish and Messianic divisions, with Torah readings divided into daily portions and Haftarah readings occurring on Shabbat. (Note that chapter and verse designations are according to the Christian rather than Jewish numbering.) Torah and Haftarah readings for the Moedim (Feasts of the Lord) appear in italics. Readings for the rest of the Tanakh (Old Testament) and Apostolic Writings (New Testament) proceed through a daily plan that covers all of those Scriptures over the course of the year. The first weekly readings for 5779 correspond to the final weekly readings of the previous cycle, which is why this plan begins with the last chapters of both the Tanakh and Apostolic Writings. This year is also a leap year on the Hebrew (Jewish) calendar, which means there is a thirteenth month, called Adar II, added in the winter, just before the month of Nisan.1 1.

Yates IMOTHY POLK HAS NOTED, “Nothing distinguishes the book of Jeremiah from earlier works of prophecy quite so much as T the attention it devotes to the person of the prophet and the prominence it accords the prophetic ‘I’, and few things receive more scholarly comment.”1 More than simply providing a biographical or psychological portrait of the prophet, the book presents Jeremiah as a theological symbol who embodies in his person the word of Yahweh and the office of prophet.2 In fact the figure of Jeremiah is so central that a theology of the book of Jeremiah “cannot be for- mulated without taking into account the person of the prophet, as the book presents him.”3 The purpose of this article is to explore how intertextual con- nections to other portions of the Bible inform a deeper understand- ing of the portrayal of Jeremiah the prophet and his theological significance in the book of Jeremiah.

  • Through the Bible Study Jeremiah 11-12
    THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY JEREMIAH 11-12 In a Reader's Digest article, aimed at young career-oriented people, it was suggested that a person finds the highest chances of success in life… "by engaging in work you most enjoy doing, and which gives fullest expression to your abilities and personality…” If Jeremiah had heeded that nugget of advice he would’ve never been a prophet - God's mouthpiece! Jeremiah's work was anything but enjoyable! He preached a message of repentance to an obstinate bunch! God gave him the task of presiding over the judgment of His backslidden people, Judah. Jeremiah tried and cried to reach these people. He sacrificed his freedoms, his position, his land, his possessions, his comforts. He even waived his right to marry and have a family. Yet his sacrifices won him nothing but hostility and hardship. “Prophet” was not exactly that job where he enjoyed expressing himself. "1 If Jeremiah had any sense of fulfillment it came not from his work, but from God’s Word. In 15:16 He’ll say, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your Word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart.” Jeremiah was a lone voice. He confronted and stood alone against both political and priestly establishments! In his 40 years of ministry he never won a single convert. From a career- oriented perspective Jeremiah was an utter, miserable failure! Yet God appraises success differently than we do! Eternal success is measured not in terms of fulfillment, but faithfulness. Keep that in mind as we study Jeremiah 11-12! Chapter 11:1, “The word that

  • Sunday Sermon Mission Impossible Jeremiah 12:1-17 March 8, 2020 “That’S Not Fair”
    Sunday Sermon Mission Impossible Jeremiah 12:1-17 March 8, 2020 “That’s Not Fair” Introduction: Throughout the Bible we find situations where our faith hits a roadblock and evil seems to prevail. This is especially true when it appears as if God is allowing evil people to get away with their sin. Habakkuk, an early contemporary of Jeremiah, was terribly troubled because Judah seemed to be getting away with sin; how much more upset he becomes where he thinks Babylon, a pagan nation, is getting away with sin as well! Habakkuk becomes confused by the apparent conflict between what he knew to be true about God and what he sees around him in the world. It just doesn’t seem to add up, and he lets God know about it. In the process, he learns a view of God that is true but not always popular; he begins to look at his circumstances from the framework of God’s character rather than at God’s character from the context of his circumstances. As we continue this morning in the book of Jeremiah, we find that he struggled with the same issues as his prophet friend. And I think if we’re all honest, we struggle at times with it as well. Jeremiah 12-14 finds that Judah was facing impending judgement, the land was suffering under a tremendous drought (14:1-6) and Jeremiah was being plotted against from his hometown; even his own brethren (6)! It was certainly a dark time and he did what many of us do…we ask why? I.
