Q.

How can I be really sure that YAOHÚSHUA is the promised Messiah when there have been many, and until now are several, who claim to be the Savior and the Messiah of the whole world?

A.

There have been several proven false messiahs in the past, and many too have been victimized by their deceptions and lying wonders.

Even today, there are several who falsely claim to be the true Messiah. How can one tell the difference between a counterfeit Messiah and the genuine?

What must be one's basis for discerning and proving to himself who the authentic Messiah is?

Herein are revealed the SCRIPTURAL tests which one must use to verify, check and assure himself of in regard to the Person and the office of the real Messiah, for one's own safe anchor of faith and sure salvation.

First of all, the concept of the 'Messiah' was based upon the Holy Scriptures. YÁOHU UL Himself, our Creator, promised to send the Messiah, an Israeli, to liberate, save and deliver all peoples from all evil and perdition.

The Holy Scriptures therefore disqualify everyone who is not Jewish by birth for being the possible Messiah.

The Messiah must be Jewish, there's no doubt about that, because that is clearly specified in the Holy Scriptures.

Anyone therefore who purports or claims to be the Savior of mankind or the Deliverer or Messiah, who is not Jewish by birth should immediately be declared to be a fraud, a pseudo-messiah, counterfeit and bogus, after having been guided by what the Holy Scriptures say.

Even among the Jewish people, however, there were and still are several who claim to be the Messiah. How then can one differentiate the counterfeit from the genuine? The acid test to use, to avoid the wiles and deceptions of the hidden enemy, ha-satán (the wild goat) is to examine and evaluate each claimant to the Office of the Messiah, in the light of what the Holy Scriptures clearly predict and prophesy regarding the Coming One, the true Messiah.

Remember, the original concept of a 'Messiah' was first revealed in the Holy Scriptures, so we must use only the Holy Scriptures in examining, verifying and proving anyone claiming to be the Messiah.

And besides, all throughout the ages, only the words of YÁOHU UL, our Creator, as recorded in the Holy Scriptures, are the only safe basis for one's faith, since His words are true, reliable, pure and eternal.

(YÁOHU UL - pronounced 'yow-hoo' and 'ool')

Who among the several claimants to the Office of the Messiah fulfilled the sure prophecies in the Tanakh, or Hebrew Scriptures?

Who among them meets ALL of the qualifications set forth in the Tanakh?

You now ask, what are the qualifications and what prophecies need be fulfilled by the Messiah as revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures?

Following are clearly itemized out for you the major, important prophecies made by YÁOHU UL Himself, through the mouths of His holy prophets, in the Holy Scriptures, and opposite each are the fulfillments thereof.

And surely you will finally prove to yourself that there is no other Messiah except Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, Who fulfilled ALL of the major prophecies in the Tanakh about the Messiah.

Not 10%, not 40%, not even 99% of the prophecies did He fulfill but ALL of YÁOHU UL's prophecies were fulfilled by and in Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY!

(pronounced: yow-hoo-shua, accent on second syllable, with the first-syllable vowel pronounced like that in the English word 'how')

Now with you having open minds that are free from religious biases, please do examine for yourselves the following facts, and not mere speculations, but scriptural facts regarding the genuine Messiah:

Prophecies Regarding The Messiah's Birth:
 

THE MESSIAH MUST BE BORN OF THE SEED OF A WOMAN

Prophecy:

'And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise Him on the heel.' - Genesis 3:15

  Fulfillment:

'But when the fullness of the time came, YÁOHU UL sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law.' - Galatians 4:4


 

THE MESSIAH MUST BE BORN OF A VIRGIN WOMAN

Prophecy:

'Therefore YÁOHU UL Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with Child and bear a Son, and she will call His Name Immanu-UL.' - Yaoshua-YÁOHU (Isaiah) 7:14

  Fulfillment:

'...She was found to be with Child by the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA.' And YÁOHU-saf...kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; He called His Name: 'YAOHÚSHUA.'' - Man-YÁOHU (Matthew) 1:18,24,25

Virgin is denoted by two words in Hebrew:

1. 'bethulah' -

proper meaning denotes a virgin maiden. (Genesis 24:16; Leviticus 21:13; Deuteronomy 22:14,23,28; Judges 11:37; 1 Kings 1:2). Yao-Ul (Joel) 1:8 is not an exception because it refers to the loss of one betrothed, not married.

2. 'almah' (veiled) -

young woman of marriageable age. This was the word used in Isaiah 7:14. The 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' through Isaiah did not use bethulah, because both the ideas of virginity and marriageable age had to be combined in one word to meet the immediate prevailing events and the prophetic aspect focusing on a virgin-born Messiah.

Virgin is denoted in Greek by: 'parthenos' - a virgin, marriageable maiden or young married woman, pure virgin. (Matthew 1:23; 25:1,7,11; Luke 1:27; Acts 21:9; 1 Corinthians 7:25,28,33; 2 Corinthians 11:2)
 

THE MESSIAH MUST BE THE SON OF YÁOHU UL

Prophecy:

'I will surely tell of the decree of YÁOHU UL: He said to Me, 'You are My Son, today I have become Your Father.'' - Tehillím (Psalms) 2:7

  Fulfillment:

'...And behold, a voice out of the heavens, saying, 'This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well- pleased.'' - Man-YÁOHU 3:17

Note: Psalms 2 was always accepted by Jewish patriarchs as being a Messianic Psalm.

Mark 3:11 - The demons recognize His Sonship.

Man-YÁOHU 26:63 - Even the high priest recognize His Sonship.
 

THE MESSIAH MUST BE THE SEED OF ABRUHÁM

Prophecy:

'And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.' - Gen. 22:18

  Fulfillment:

'The book of the genealogy of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, the Son of Dáoud, the Son of Abruhám.' - Man-YÁOHU 1:1 'Now the promises were spoken to Abruhám and to his seed. He does not say, 'And to seeds,' as referring to many, but rather to one, 'And to your seed,' that is, Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.' - Gal. 3:16

The above passage requires that the true Messiah must come from the Hebrew race.
 

THE MESSIAH MUST COME FROM THE LINEAGE OF YÁOHUtz-kaq (ISAAC)

Prophecy:

'But YÁOHU UL said to Abruhám... through YÁOHUtz-kaq your offsprings shall be named (lit., your seed will be called).' - Genesis 21:12

  Fulfillment:

'YAOHÚSHUA....
....the Son of YÁOHUtz-kaq....' - Luke 3:23,34

Abruhám had two sons, YÁOHUtz-kaq (Isaac) and Ishmaúl.

Now YÁOHU UL eliminates half of the lineage of Abruhám, the Ishmaulítes, the forefathers of the modern-day Arabs.

The Messiah cannot be of Arabic descent, such as Mohammed. No way!
 

THE MESSIAH MUST COME FROM THE LINEAGE OF YÁOHU-caf (JACOB)

Prophecy:

'I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; A 'cocáv' (st-r) shall come forth from YÁOHU-caf, and a scepter shall rise from Yaoshorúl, and shall crush through the forehead of Moab,and tear down all the sons of Seth.' - Numbers 24:17

  Fulfillment:

'YAOHÚSHUA....
....the Son of YÁOHU-caf....' - Luke 3:23,34

YÁOHUtz-kaq (Isaac) had two sons, YÁOHU-caf (Jacob) and Esau.

Now YÁOHU UL removes half the lineage of YÁOHUtz-kaq (Isaac) as possible source of the Messiah.
 

THE MESSIAH MUST COME FROM THE TRIBE OF YAOHÚ-dah (JUDAH)

Prophecy:

'The scepter shall not depart from YAOHÚ-dah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples.' - Genesis 49:10 (Ref. Micah 5:2.)

  Fulfillment:

'YAOHÚSHUA....
....the Son of YAOHÚ-dah....' - Luke 3:23,33

Targum Jonathan on Genesis 49:10,11a says, 'Kings shall not cease, nor rulers, from the house of YAOHÚ-dah (Judah), nor sefarim teaching the law from his seed, till the time that the King, the Messiah, shall come.... How lovely is the King, and Messiah Who will arise from the house of YAOHÚ-dah (Judah)!'

YÁOHU-caf (Jacob) had twelve (12) sons who became the prime heads of the 12 tribes of the Hebrew nation. Now YÁOHU UL discounts the other tribes as the possible tribe from which the Messiah will come from.

YÁOHU-saf (Joseph) had no tribe named after him, but his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, became heads of their respective tribes.
 

THE MESSIAH MUST COME FROM THE FAMILY LINE OF YÁOHU-shai (JESSE)

Prophecy:

'Then a shoot will spring from the stem of YÁOHU-shai, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit.' - Yaoshua-YÁOHU (Isaiah) 11:1

  Fulfillment:

'YAOHÚSHUA....
....the Son of YÁOHU-shai....' - Luke 3:23,32

Targum Yaoshua-YÁOHU (Isaiah) says, 'And a King shall come forth from the sons of YÁOHU-shai (Jesse), and the Anointed One (or Messiah) from his son's sons shall grow up. And there shall rest upon him a Spirit from before YÁOHU UL, the Spirit of wisdom and comprehension, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge, and of the reverential fear of YÁOHU UL.'
 

THE MESSIAH MUST COME FROM THE LINEAGE OF DÁOUD (David)

Prophecy:

'Behold, the days are coming.' declares YÁOHU UL, 'When I shall raise up for Dáoud an Upright Branch; and He will reign as King and act wisely and do justice and uprightness in the land.'' - Yarmi-YÁOHU (Jeremiah) 23:5

  Fulfillment:

'YAOHÚSHUA....
....the Son of Dáoud....' - Luke 3:23,31

The Messiah being referred to as the 'Son of Dáoud' is prevalent among all the Jewish Talmuds. YÁOHU UL will raise up for Dáoud - a promise to Dáoud's progeny.

YÁOHU-shai (Jesse) had several sons, but now, YÁOHU UL says specifically that the Messiah will come forth from the lineage of Dáoud (David).
 

THE MESSIAH MUST BE BORN IN BETH-LEKHEM

Prophecy:

'But as for you, Beth-Lekhem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of YAOHÚ-dah, from you One will go forth for Me to be Ruler in Yaoshorúl. His goings forth are from ages past, from the days of eternity.' - Micah 5:2

  Fulfillment:

'...Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA was born in Beth-Lekhem of YAOHÚ-dah....' - Man-YÁOHU (Matthew) 2:1

In this passage, YÁOHU UL explicitly declares that the Messiah will be born in Beth-Lekhem, and not in any other place in the world.

Micah is a prophet in the Tanakh or Hebrew Scriptures. Micah and the Hebrew Scriptures or Tanakh cannot err as to main contexts and contents.
 

AT BIRTH, THE MESSIAH MUST BE GIVEN GIFTS

Prophecy:

'Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.' - Tehillím (Psalms) 72:10

  Fulfillment:

'...Wise men from east arrived in Jerusalem...and they fell down and worshiped Him; and opening their treasures they offered Him gifts...' - Man-YÁOHU 2:1,11

Remember, there are several passages in the Tanakh which have historical applications, as well as prophetic applications. Meaning, though the passages were written in relation to actual occurrences then, still, in them are prophetic forthtellings as regards the coming Messiah.
 

DURING THE MESSIAH'S INFANCY, CHILDREN WILL BE KILLED

Prophecy:

'Thus says YÁOHU UL, 'A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; She refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.'' Yarmi-YÁOHU (Jeremiah) 31:15

  Fulfillment:

'Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he became very enraged, and sent soldiers to slay all the male children who were in Beth-Lekhem and in all its environs, from two years old and under, according the time he had learned from the wise men.' - Man-YÁOHU 2:16

Summarizing therefore, the true Savior and Messiah of all mankind appointed by the Eternal Creator, YÁOHU Ulhím, must have ALL the SCRIPTURAL qualifications as prescribed in the Holy Scriptures.

The Messiah cannot be an Arab, Chinese or Japanese nor can he be from India or any other ethnic background, but must be from the Jewish race!

Prophecies Regarding the Messiah's Person:
 

THE MESSIAH MUST BE ETERNAL, THE BEGINNING AND THE END

Prophecy:

'But as for you, Beth-Lékhem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of YAOHÚ-dah, from you One will go forth for Me to be Ruler in Yaoshorúl. His goings forth are from ages past, from the days of eternity.' - Micah 5:2

  Fulfillment:

'And He is before (was already alive ahead of) all things and in Him all things hold together.' - Colossians 1:17

Targum Yaoshua-YÁOHU (Isaiah) 9:6 says, 'The prophet said to the house of Dáoud (David): A Child has been born to us, a Son has been given to us; and He has taken the law upon Himself to keep it, and His Name has been called from of old, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty UL, He Who lives forever, the Anointed One (or the Messiah), in whose days peace shall increase upon us.'
 

THE MESSIAH MUST BE CALLED 'ÓDMORUL' (Ruler-Teacher)

Prophecy:

'YÁOHU UL says to my 'Ódmorul': 'Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footrest for Your feet.'' - Tehillím (Psalms) 110:1

  Fulfillment:

'For today in the city of Dáoud there has been born for you the Savior, Who is Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.' - Luke 2:11 'He said to them, 'Then how does Dáoud in the 'RÚKHA' call Him 'Ódmorul' saying, 'YÁOHU UL said to my Ódmorul, 'Sit at My right hand, until I put Your enemies beneath Your feet.'' If Dáoud then calls Him 'Ódmorul' how is He his Son?'' - Man-YÁOHU (Matthew) 22:43-45

R. Rabba ben Cahana (200-300 BCE) has said: 'YÁOHU TZAODÓQNU (YÁOHU is our Uprightness) is His Name, and this is proved by 'This is His Name' - (Yarmi-YÁOHU - Jeremiah 23:6).
 

HIS TITLE MUST BE IMMANU-UL (YÁOHU UL With Us)

Prophecy:

'Therefore YÁOHU UL Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with Child and bear a Son, and she will call His Name 'Immanu-UL.'' - Yaoshua-YÁOHU (Isaiah) 7:14

  Fulfillment:

'Behold, the virgin shall be with Child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His Name 'Immanu-UL' - which translated means 'UL is with us.'' - Man-YÁOHU (Matthew) 1:23


 

THE MESSIAH MUST BE A PROPHET

Prophecy:

'I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My Words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.' - Deuteronomy 18:18

  Fulfillment:

'And the multitudes were saying 'This is the Prophet Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, from Nazareth in Galilee.'' - Man-YÁOHU 21:11

Maimonides, in a letter to the community of Yemen wrote:

'The Messiah will be a very great Prophet, greater than all the prophets with the exception of Moses our Teacher.... His status will be higher than that of the prophets and more honorable, Moses alone excepted.

The Creator, blessed be He, will single Him out with features wherewith He had not singled out Moses; for it is said with reference to Him, 'And His delight shall be in the reverential fear of YÁOHU UL; and He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither decide after the hearing of His ears'' - (Explanations on Yaoshua-YÁOHU 11:3).

So the Messiah must have eyes which can see, and ears which can hear.

This precludes sickly people from claiming the office of the Messiah, according to Maimonides himself. Still and all, we only use for our guidelines what the Holy Scriptures say, and the comments from Targums and other excerpts are only included here as supporting data. Also, remember that Moses and Caleb were still very healthy even in their old age.

Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA and Mehushúa (Moses) were alike in these aspects: both were miraculously delivered from death during their infancies, both were true prophets, both were intercessors, both have very close relationships with YÁOHU UL, and more importantly, both were used by YÁOHU UL to deliver His people.

Let's proceed to receive more scriptural wisdom and knowledge in the NEXT segment of these spiritually-awakening guidelines now....
