48.) Yeshua, the Great I AM
John 8:53-58
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Yeshua answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
The expression, "Abraham rejoiced to see my day", is a referance to the the events that we discussed in section 42.) Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?
Yeshua said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.
To the question, asked of Yeshua, "whom makest thou thyself?" Yeshua answered, Before Abraham was, I AM. By doing so to a Jewish mindset, he declared Himself to be God.
Yeshua is the great I AM, He is YHWH the Son, God eternal.

Identifying the Messiah
We have now come to the most important part of our study. In the first section, we read that God was going to send the “Deliverer”.
We will now look at the different “clues” God gives us throughout the Bible to determine the identity of the deliverer. There are numerous references to Him, this enables us to pin-point exactly why, where, and when Messiah would come.
So, let’s gather some of these clues and then when we have a good amount of them let’s see if we can find someone who matches the description that the clues give us.
49.) Clue 1, Family of David
Reference # 1) Messiah will be of the family of King David.
Jeremiah 23:5
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous shoot, and he shall reign as king and prosper, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. (JPS)
It was well known to the ancient Jews that Messiah was to be a descendent of King David. The Messiah is often referred to as the “Son of David”.
Well, here’s our first clue, Messiah will be from the house of David.

50.) Clue 2, Born In Bethlehem
Micah 5:2
But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto Me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from ancient days. (JPS)
We are told when King Herod asked the ancient rabbis where Messiah was to be born, they replied “the prophets say in Bethlehem”. Therefore if a person claimed to be Messiah, but was not born in Bethlehem, we would immediately know him to be false.
It amazes me how often the Jews have failed to put false Messiahs to the Bethlehem test. It seems like they have forgotten, all about Micah. I once had a Jewish women tell me that no one can know from where the Messiah will come, I told her about Micah whom she must have overlooked . This in spite of the fact that her father was a very prominent Rabbi.
In 132 A.D., a man named Simeon Bar-Cochba claimed to be the Messiah. Many prominent rabbis including the famous rabbi Akiba, accepted and proclaimed Bar-Cochba as “King Messiah”.
Simon Bar-Cochba was not born in Bethlehem. That should have given the rabbis a clue. Bar-Cochba promised to deliver Israel from Roman domination, instead Rome crushed Israel.
The name Bar-Cochba means “son of a star”. Before he was finally beheaded, many lost their confidence in him. Many even said that his real name was Bar-Coziba, “son of falsehood”.
This man fooled Israel, including the chief rabbis and lead Israel down the long path of the Diaspora.
One has to ask, didn’t the rabbis believe the prophet Micah? And if they did, why did they accept someone that was not born in Bethlehem?
Also note here, that Micah says of Messiah, “whose goings forth are from of old, from ancient days.”
This means that Messiah will be more than an ordinary man. No ordinary man can say that he has been around since ancient times. This can only apply to God.
Ancient of Days was one of the titles applied to God by the Jews. Many Jews believe that Messiah will be just a man, here however the prophet Micah says other wise.

51.) Clue 3, Born of a Virgin
Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (JPS)
Some say that this Scripture says that a young woman will give birth and not a virgin.
This idea is however not completely thought out, for God says that this birth will be a miraculous sign that He Himself shall give Israel. Now young women have been bearing children constantly since the beginning of man, and there is nothing unusual about it. It simply involves the laws of nature that God has set in motion.
A normal childbirth therefore could not pass as a miraculous sign from God. When God gives a sign, it is supernatural, that is, it is above and beyond the normal laws of nature.
God makes the sign supernatural so we will know it is from Him and not just a normal act of nature.
Some people however, just can not conceive of a virgin birth. We respond to these critics with the same words that God had for Sarah--"Is anything too hard for the Lord."
The Hebrew term for young woman in this passage is 'alma,' this word is used to mean virgin in other passages, such as Genesis 24:43.
I know that when I read the Bible in German the word for virgin is 'Jungfrau,' which also literally means 'young woman,' however, everybody knows it means 'virgin' and not merely a woman that is young. In German, the constellation of 'Virgo' is called the 'Jungfrau.'
The Jewish translators who translated the Tenach into Greek, called the Septuagint, used the Greek word 'parthenos' for 'alma.'
This word means 'pure virgin' in the Greek, and therefore to the Jewish translators of the Septuagint, Isaiah 7:14 denoted that Messiah would be born of a virgin, by their choice of Greek term.
In this verse is another reference that Messiah will not be an ordinary man. His mother shall call Him, Immanuel, which means 'God is with us.'
So, far we have learned that the prophets say Messiah shall be born in Bethlehem, the city of David, He shall be of David's family tree, His mother shall be a virgin, and He shall be called God.

52.) Clue 4, Messiah will ride into Jerusalem
Zechariah 9:9
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy king cometh unto thee, he is triumphant, and victorious, lowly, and riding upon an *censored*, even upon a colt the foal of an *censored*.
This passage tells us that Messiah will be a triumphant and conquering king. Then it says He will be lowly and riding upon a young donkey.
In a way this presents us with a funny picture. Lowly and on a young donkey is not the normal picture of a victories triumph. This does not strike most people as the type of triumphal victory celebration that a king would have. Most earthly kings have victory parades of tremendous pomp, pageant and glory.
Just think of the stunning and overwhelming Roman triumphal marches, or even the tremendous ticker tape parades of the VE parades.
I know that there was a great crowd shouting Hosanna, to the king and throwing palm leaves before Christ as He entered Jerusalem, yet still, this triumph seems to refer more to a spiritual triumph rather than a physical one.

53.) Clue 5, Messiah will be rejected
Isaiah 53:1-4
'Who would have believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the LORD been revealed?
For he shot up right forth as a sapling, and as a root out of a dry ground; he had no form nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, nor beauty that we should delight in him.
He was despised, and forsaken of men, a man of pains, and acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried; whereas we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (JPS)
One of the most amazing things about messiah is that he will be rejected. Of this we ask, who would reject Him? He could only be rejected by those to whom he was sent. The Messiah was prophesied to be of the house of David. So it will be to the Jews that Messiah will be sent, with Messiah Himself being a Jew.
Therefore it will be the Jews who will initially reject Him, although many Gentiles will also reject Him, it was to the house of Israel that He was sent.
God’s offer of deliverance by the hands of Messiah was to the Jews first.
It is written that Messiah will ride into Jerusalem in triumph, so why will the Jews reject Him. In verse 53:3 it says He was despised and forsaken of men. In the Hebrew the term here for “men” actually means men of distinction, rather than men in general.
He had virtually no support among men of influence. Verse 53:2 points out that He will be born and raised in unpromising surroundings. He will not be boastful or showy, which will result in indifference and unbelief.
Some may say or think that the Jewish nation would never reject their Messiah, yet the prophet Isaiah said they would do just that.

54.) Clue 6, Messiah will be betrayed by a follower
Psalm 41:9
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.(JPS)
Messiah will have those who will follow after and believe in Him, although this will be a fairly small group compared to those who reject Him.
One of these followers who ate the same bread as Messiah will betray Him into the hands of those who rejected Him.

55.) Clue 7, Messiah will be Condemned to Death
Isaiah 53:8
By oppression and judgment he was taken away, and with his generation who did reason? for he was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due.(JPS)
Messiah will be taken to trial after He is betrayed. No one will come to speak in His defense before His accusers. Those in power will reject and condemn Messiah to death. What will Messiah say to those who demand His death?

56.) Clue 8, Messiah will be Condemned to Death
Isaiah 53:7
He was oppressed, though he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth. (JPS)
Messiah will not refute the accusations, but will voluntarily submit to the judgment. Remember how we compared Messiah to the Passover Lamb, here the prophet also likens Him to the lamb led to it’s death.

57.) Clue 9, Messiah will be struck.
Micah 4:14
They smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Even when being struck, Messiah remains silent before His enemies. Many can not understand why Messiah would allow this. He had a mission from God to accomplish, which was to die as a sacrifice for the sins of the people.

58.) Clue 10, Messiah will be mocked.
Psalm 22:6-8
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:
Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.'
Those who see Messiah mistreated will think that the true Messiah will not allow Himself to be so sorely abused. As he pays the price for their sin, they will mock Him, and hurl insults at Him. He will be reviled as He pays the price for their salvation.

59.) Clue 11, Messiah will be executed.
Psalm 22:14-16
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
This prophecy of Messiah was spoken around the year 1000 B.C. The form of execution described here most closely is brought about by crucifixion. Crucifixion was a Roman method of capitol punishment, but this type of punishment was not known or practiced by the Jews of King David’s time.

60.) Clue 12, Messiah will have His clothing gambled for.
Psalm 22:18
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
Messiah’s clothing will be taken from Him, and His executioners will gamble for them.

61.) Clue 13, Messiah will not have His bones broken.
Exodus 12:46
…..neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
Psalm 22:17
I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me.
God commanded the people not to break any of the bones of the Passover Lamb. In the style of death that Messiah endured, it was common practice to break the legs of the accused to hasten death. It is noteworthy to say that Messiah was an exception, His legs were not broken.

62.) Clue 14, Messiah was to suffer for others.
Isaiah 53:12
Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.(JPS)
Messiah endured so many abuses during His trial, not for Himself, but because He was to bear the sin of many. As the Passover Lamb He was to make atonement for transgressors.
Because he was obedient to God unto death, God would divide Him a portion among the great. Yes, Messiah would die, but he will come back to life for His portion.

63.) Clue 15, Messiah was to die as a sacrifice for sin.
Isaiah 53:5-12
But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed.
All we like sheep did go astray, we turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath made to light on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, though he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away, and with his generation who did reason? for he was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due.
And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich his tomb; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.'
Yet it pleased the LORD to crush him by disease; to see if his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by his hand:
Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full, even My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous One to the many, and their iniquities he did bear.
Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (JPS)
Here is the reason Messiah was to die. The Scriptures say He was wounded for our sins. This is the principle of vicarious death. By vicarious we mean, something that is done by one person as a substitute for another.
The whole idea of animal sacrifice was based upon the concept of vicarious death, the animal dying for the man. God gave the ordinances of animal sacrifices to demonstrate what Messiah would eventually do.
The Scriptures say that Messiah was to receive stripes. This refers to the wounds put upon His back when He was lashed by the whip. This was to happen during Messiah’s trail. Throughout the trail Messiah would not complain or defend Himself. Isaiah said that the stroke was due to His people, but Messiah took it instead.
The Passover Lamb had to be without blemish. Even as the type, the Messiah personally was to be without the stain of sin. Since the sin nature is passed down from the parents to the child, Messiah had to be born supernaturally to avoid partaking of our sinful nature.
As we saw earlier in the types of Messiah -- the scapegoat, the Passover Lamb, the brazen serpent, Messiah was to bear our iniquities.
Notice in Isaiah 53:12 that God will bless Messiah AFTER Messiah dies. Isaiah gives us two different pictures of Messiah. First as a suffering servant who bore the sins of the people, then at a later time Isaiah shows Him will returning as a conquering king.

Psalm 16:10
For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit.
Messiah was to die to pay the price of sin for mankind. Yet, when the price was paid, He was to come back to life. Death is the final outcome of sin, but since messiah personally sinless, death could not hold Him. When Messiah comes back from the dead, God receives Him, that is to say, messiah comes back from the dead and then ascends to God.

65.) Clue 17, Messiah will sit at God’s right hand.
Psalm 110:1
A Psalm of David. The LORD saith unto my lord: 'Sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.'
Here David calls Messiah, “my, Lord.” Messiah was to be born into King David’s family, so he would be a great-grandson of David. However, David calls Him, “my Lord”, showing that Messiah is above him, even though David preceded Him in the royal family line. After Messiah is raised up following His sacrifice foe sin, He ascends and is seated with God at His right hand.

| | 66.) Clue 18, Messiah will come 483 years after the order to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.
Daniel 9:24-26
Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin, and to forgive iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal vision and prophet, and to anoint the most holy place.
Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto one anointed, a prince, shall be seven weeks; and for threescore and two weeks, it shall be built again, with broad place and moat, but in troublous times.
And after the threescore and two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and be no more; and the people of a prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; but his end shall be with a flood; and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.(JPS)
The weeks spoken of here are prophetic weeks. The Hebrew word used here for weeks literally means a “seven”. The seventy weeks spoken of her are literally seventy, “sevens” of years. Used in this context, a prophetic day is one year. Here we are told that after sixty -two weeks Messiah would be cut off.
The angel was telling Daniel that 483 years would pass from the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem to the coming of Messiah.
This 483 years is further broken down into two parts. The first part is 49 years, the second part is 434 years. The order to rebuild Jerusalem was given by King Artaxerxes on March 14, 445 BC.
The first 49 years were spent rebuilding Jerusalem. It also marks the end of the Old Testament. The book of Malachi was written 49 years after the order to rebuild was given. To determine where the remaining years take us, we will calculate how many days are contained in 483 years.
The calendar of that time had 360 days. When we multiply 360 X 483 we come up with 173,880 days. The angel in essence told Daniel that 173,880 days after the order to rebuild Jerusalem is issued, Messiah will enter the city.
We also know that the prophet Malachi said that the Lord will “come suddenly to His temple.” So, this event had to take place before the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD.
If we add the 173, 880 days to March 14, 445 BC, this gives us the date of April 6, 32 AD. The angel Gabriel said that Messiah would enter Jerusalem in the year 32 AD. Gabriel then said that after this the anointed one would be cut off.
In the book “Climax of the Ages”, Dr. F.A. Tatford remarks the word used here for “cut off” is a term that is normally used of the death penalty when inflicted by a judge or a court of law and usually implies a violent death even when used otherwise.
This term is also used for the cutting of the flesh of the covenant sacrifice. It is the word that in I Samuel 31:9 means to “cut off a head”. Messiah was to be cut down as the covenant victim was cut down and its blood shed. This reminds us of the words of the prophet Isaiah who sploke around the year 700 BC:
“He bore His soul to death, yet He bore the sins of many.”
Isaiah 9:6-7
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
This child that was to be born was to be called the everlasting Father, He is Messiah, he was destined to die for the sin of the world, He is God Almighty Himself.

Prophecies Yeshua Fulfilled
We have just examined various Scriptures God gave to help identify Messiah. Using these Scriptures along with others, we can determine such things as where Messiah was to be born, of what family, in what year He was to enter Jerusalem, etc. Knowing these facts should make it relatively easy to establish who Messiah’s identity.
We ask ourselves, Has someone fulfilled these Scriptures? Did Messiah arrive in the temple in April 32 AD? A man named Yeshua did.
In this section we will examine the prophecies that Yeshua ha Machiach fulfilled.
67.) Prophecy 1, The Son of Abraham.
Genesis 22:18
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed….
Fulfillment:
Matthew 1:1
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

68.) Prophecy 2, The Seed of woman.
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; they shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise their heel.'
In the Jewish text, the Targom Onkelos , the last half of Genesis 3:15 is translated into the singular. It reads, “He will remember thee, what thou didst to him (at) from the beginning, and thou shalt be observant unto him at the end.”
Fulfillment:
Galatians 4:4
But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (JPS)
The rabbis who translated the Septuagint used the term “parthenos” for young woman, which in Greek clearly means a virgin. The Hebrew word used was “almah” which conveys the idea of virginity and marriageable age. Simply a young women giving birth is hardly a “sign”. However, a virgin giving birth would be a supernatural sign from God. This passage indicates that messiah was to be born of a virgin.
Fulfillment:
Matthew 1:18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost…..
Matthew 1:25
And (Joseph) knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name YESHUA.

76.) Prophecy 10, Children are killed
Jeremiah 31:15
Thus saith the LORD: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuseth to be comforted for her children, because they are not.
King Herod knew that Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem, so he ordered all male children two and under to be killed.
Fulfillment:
Matthew 2:16-18
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

77.) Prophecy 11, Messiah’s eternal existence.
Micah 5:2
…..whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
No mere man could say he has been around since ancient days. In Targom Isaiah it says “The prophet saith to the house of 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 God, he who lives forever, the Anointed One.” Here the commentator ascribes divine attributes to the Son of David.
Fulfillment:
John 8:58
"In most solemn truth," answered Yeshua, "I tell you that before Abraham came into existence, I am."
John 17:5
And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed.

The LORD says to my Lord “Sit at My right hand
In the Midrash Tehillim it states, God calls King messiah by His own name.” Therefore Messiah must also be divine.
Fulfillment:
Luke 2:11
For a Savior who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David.(WEY)

79.) Prophecy 13, He shall be called Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.(JPS)
Fulfillment:
Matthew 1:21-23
“She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Yeshua, for He will save His people from their sins” Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.”
