El verdadero Mesías, por favor, levántate

¡Hola! Mantuve el hebreo porque ocurren tantos errores en la traducción incorrecta. El nacimiento virginal se basa en un error de traducción total de un fácil hebreo la palabra "ha'alam" - la traducción correcta no es mujer virgen, sino más bien joven. Esa es una enorme gran diferencia. En ninguna parte de la Biblia judía significa esta palabra hebrea: virgen. La palabra hebrea para virgen es "betulah" - ¡eso no está escrito aquí!

No estoy seguro de por qué trajiste esta fuente, esto solo confirma una lucha entre serpiente y hembra (humanidad). ¿Y qué?

¡Estupendo! Estoy de acuerdo. Es por eso que no tiene sentido. ¿A quién le importa que José sea el hijo de David si al final fue vrigin brith? José no jugó ningún papel ??? Además, José nunca podría pasar por adopción lo que él no tiene. Debido a que José descendió de Jeconías ( Mateo 1:11 ) cayó bajo la maldición de ese rey que ninguno de sus descendientes podría sentarse como rey sobre el trono de David. ( Jeremías 22:30 ; 36:30 )

¡Estupendo! Estoy de acuerdo: quien venga será para siempre (y sin interrupción).

Nuevamente, no hay nada que tratar en estas fuentes ya que estoy de acuerdo en que el mesías vendrá de David pero una vez más, Jesús no es de David, ya que ese linaje debe venir del lado del padre y NO TENÍA PADRE OFICIAL. Y como mencioné anteriormente, la adopción no cuenta.

Oy! This can't work with selective quoting:

Psalm 22 is one of the most popular places to look for the supposed Old Testament prophecies fulfilled by the life of Jesus. Apologists claim that it closely parallels the crucifixion story but was written roughly 1000 years earlier.

The very first verse of this chapter is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” which are the last words of Jesus according to Matthew and Mark.

Verse 7: “All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads. ‘He trusts in the Lord,’ they say, ‘Let the Lord rescue him.’” Sure enough, Mark records the onlookers insulting Jesus and mocking his inability to free himself.

Verse 16: “they have pierced my hands and my feet” sounds like the crucifixion. This form of execution was practiced by many cultures in the Ancient Near East for centuries before the time of Jesus, but it probably didn’t go back as far as the writing of this psalm. In that case, this verse looks prophetic.

Verse 18: “They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing,” as noted in Mark.

A skeptical interpretation

These are some clear parallels, but what best explains this—that this ancient psalm really did predict the crucifixion or that the gospel story was deliberately written to mimic a prophecy? The author of Mark was surely familiar with this psalm and could’ve added the distribution of the clothes, the mocking from the crowd, and the last words.

But what about the piercing of the hands and feet? It may not say that. A better translation may be, “like a lion they pin my hands and feet.” The NET Bible’s comment:

The psalmist may envision a lion pinning the hands and feet of its victim to the ground with its paws (a scene depicted in ancient Near Eastern art), or a lion biting the hands and feet.

Make that change and see what verse 16 says:

wild dogs surround me—
a gang of evil men crowd around me;
like a lion they pin my hands and feet.

No longer do we have a good parallel to the crucifixion story. (Let me note, however, that there are arguments for each interpretation of the verse.)

Let’s reconsider those last words: “My God, why have you forsaken me?” Does forsaking Jesus sound like part of God’s plan? This doesn’t sound like the cool-headed, in-control Jesus written about in Luke and John.

What it sounds like is Gnosticism (not in the Psalm, but when transplanted into the gospels). The Gnostic Gospel of Philip (third century) explains it this way, “‘My God, My God, why, lord, have you forsaken me?’ [Jesus] spoke these words on the cross, for he had left that place.” That is, Christ the god entered Jesus the man at baptism (remember the dove?) but then abandoned Jesus at the crucifixion.

What about the skipped verses?

Now consider the entire chapter. The apologetic claim rests on picking intriguing little fragments out of context, but taken as a whole this looks even less like the crucifixion story.

Verse 9: “Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you”—again, this sounds like an ordinary man. The first person of the Trinity wouldn’t need to make the second person of the Trinity trust him.

Verse 12: “Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan [a place known for its cattle] encircle me. Roaring lions tearing their prey open their mouths wide against me.” Bulls and lions? That sounds like martyrdom in an arena, not crucifixion.

Verse 17: “I can count all my bones.” This unfortunate guy is clearly mistreated, but (again) this isn’t the gospel story.

Verse 20: “Deliver my life from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs. Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen.” Ditto.

And the biggest problem with shoehorning of Psalm 22 into the gospel story is that there’s no reference to the resurrection! How can this be the story of the sacrifice of Jesus without the punch line?

See my last comments

Isaiah 53 is the other chapter that apologists point to as predicting the death of Jesus, but, like the claims for Psalm 22, we’ll see that this also falls flat.

First, give the apologists their turn. They’ll point to several phrases in Isaiah 53 (and the last few verses of the preceding chapter) that parallel the crucifixion.

Verse 52:14: “there were many who were appalled at him; his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being.” Some say that this refers to the beatings Jesus received, though his ugly appearance is never mentioned in the New Testament.

Verse 53:3: “He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.” Jesus should have been recognized as the Messiah, but the gospels tell us that his own people rejected him.

On the other hand, “he was despised” doesn’t sound like the charismatic rabbi who preached to thousands of attentive listeners and had a triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. And “a man of suffering … familiar with pain” might’ve been the life of an ascetic like John the Baptist, but this doesn’t describe Jesus.

Verse 53:7: “he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent.” The synoptic gospels agree that Jesus was silent before his accusers (though John 18:34–19:11 doesn’t).

Verse 53:8: in response to the trial and sentencing of Jesus, “who of his generation protested?” Jesus was on his own, and none of his disciples tried to intervene.

Verse 53:9: “He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death.” This is often interpreted to mean that Jesus ought to have been buried with criminals but was actually buried with the rich. This ties in with the burial of Jesus in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea.

Finally, from 53:5 to the end of the chapter, almost every verse gives some version of the idea of the suffering servant taking on the burdens of his people—“he was pierced for our transgressions … by his wounds we are healed” (:5), “for the transgression of my people he was punished” (:8), “he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors” (:12), and so on.

Taken as this collection of verse fragments, the case looks intriguing, but taken as a whole—that is, letting the chapter speak for itself—the story falls apart.

First, let’s look at some of the verses discarded by the apologists.

Verse 52:15: “so will many nations be amazed at him and kings will shut their mouths because of him.”

The nations will be amazed and the kings speechless? Nope, not only was Jesus not internationally famous during his lifetime, history records nothing of his life outside the gospels. True, we have evidence of his followers from historians such as Josephus, Tacitus, and Suetonius, but it is curious that we have nothing about the works of Jesus himself from prolific contemporary authors such as Philo of Alexandria, Seneca, and Pliny the Elder. Apparently he wasn’t as famous as imagined prophecy would have him be.

Verse 53:10: “he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.” This is a nice thought—Jesus endures great trials but then, like Job, he is rewarded with children, prosperity, and long life. As Proverbs says, “Grandchildren are the crown of old men.”

Too bad this isn’t how the gospel story plays out.

Verse 53:11: “my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.” Let’s revisit this suffering servant thing. Jesus, a person of the Trinity and equal to God the Father, is now God’s servant?

Note that “messiah” simply means “anointed one” and that the Old Testament is fairly liberal with the title messiah. Kings and high priests were anointed as messiahs. Heck, Cyrus the Great of Persia was even a messiah (see Isaiah 45:1). But surely no Christian can accept the logic, “Well, David was a messiah, and he was a servant of God; why not Jesus as well?” Jesus was certainly not in the same category as David.

And here’s the big one: “Therefore I will give him a portion among the great [or many] and he will divide the spoils with the strong [or numerous]” (verse 53:12). Like a warrior who gets a share of the spoils of the battle, the servant will be richly rewarded. This servant is just one among many who gets a portion.

Wait a minute—Jesus has peers? He’s one among equals, just “one of the great”? What kind of nonsense is this? Again, this bears no resemblance to the Jesus of the gospels.

This all makes more sense if the “he” of this chapter is seen as Israel, not Jesus.

And, as with our analysis of Psalm 22, the point of any crucifixion story would be the resurrection, which is not present in this chapter.

This source has no relevance to our discussion. Of course G-d is always present, no matter what.

Again, these verses are G-d verses. Nothing to do with Jesus. There is no reference to a Messiah or a human embodyment of G-d.

This speaks of our resurrection. We all agree to that. This says "make US whole again"...He will raise "US" up.

Again - I will ransom "them" from the grave. Speaking about bringing people back. G-d will be able bring people back. No mention of Jesus or a Messiah dying and coming back.

This doesn't prove anything as thousands of children were born in this city. Furthermore, if this is speaking about Jesus why was he not accepted as 'ruler in Israel'? And then Michah 5:4 says "and there shall be peace". This means the Messiah will bring peace into the world. He obviously didn't bring that. Jesus in Matthew 10:34 says that he comes to bring the sword and not peace.

Also this could be talking about any descendant of King David (as David came from Bethlehem and we both agree the Messiah will come from the House of David).

De acuerdo, tengo mucho que decir sobre Daniel Capítulo 9: estos errores aquí al aplicar esto a Jesús son enormes:

Para entender este capítulo, debemos comenzar con una explicación del término "semanas".

El capítulo 9 de Daniel usa la palabra hebrea (שבעים ~ Shavuim) para representar un período de tiempo multiplicado por siete. Por varias razones, esta palabra se traduce como "semanas" y significa un múltiplo de siete años en lugar de un múltiplo de siete días.

a) Vemos un uso similar en el versículo: " contarás ~ שבע שבתת השנים) siete días de reposo), siete años siete veces ... cuarenta y nueve años. " Levítico 25: 8
b) Un Shabat es un período de siete días y comparte la misma raíz hebrea para la palabra
(שבועה ~ Shavuah) que significa" semana ".
c) Normalmente el plural de la semana sería (שבעות ~ Shavuot) en Daniel usa el masculino " ים " terminación para (שבעים ~ Shavuim) similar a (años ~ שנים) Esto indica que (שבעים ~ Shavuim) se está refiriendo a un múltiple de siete años
d) Tanto judíos como cristianos están de acuerdo en que esto se refiere a un múltiplo de años.

Por lo tanto, en el capítulo 9 de Daniel, cada semana es un período de siete años.

Los polemistas cristianos interpretan estos pasajes de la siguiente manera. Estos pasajes están siendo hablados por Daniel después de la destrucción del Templo en Jerusalén por el malvado Imperio Babilónico. En algún momento después de la destrucción, habrá un " decreto " emitido para restaurar y reconstruir Jerusalén. A partir de la emisión de ese decreto, pasarán 7 y 62 semanas por un total de 69 semanas de años (483 años) y luego vendrá el Mesías y en ese mismo período de siete años " semana " será cortado, pero no por sí mismo. , pero por los pecados de la humanidad. Entonces la ciudad y el santuario serán destruidos. Christian afirma que su cálculo prueba que Jesús cumplió esta profecía hasta el día exacto.

Después de que los babilonios destruyeron Jerusalén, todos los judíos que sobrevivieron a la matanza de Babilonia fueron exiliados de su tierra. Daniel, por ejemplo, vivió en Babilonia. Finalmente, los babilonios fueron conquistados por el Imperio Persa. Los cristianos afirman que el decreto mencionado en Daniel 9:25 fue emitido por el rey persa Artajerjes en el año 444 a. EC, basado en Nehemías 2: 1-8. Estos pasajes hablan acerca de que el rey le dio a Nehemías " cartas " (אגרות ~ Iggrot) para un pasaje seguro y permiso para reconstruir el Templo.

La construcción de Jerusalén se inició y se detuvo varias veces, y hay tres decretos adicionales mencionados anteriormente en la Biblia.
1) En Esdras 1: 1-4, el rey Ciro emite una proclamación (קול ~ Kol) y escritos (מכתב ~ Michtav) que autorizan a los judíos a regresar a Jerusalén y reconstruir el templo.
2) Esdras 6: 12-13, el Rey Darío emite un decreto (טעם ~ Taam) que otorga permiso para reconstruir el Templo.
3) Esdras 7: 11-16, Artaxerxex, emite un decreto (טעם ~ Taam) que otorga permiso para reconstruir el Templo. (Artaxerxex es un título de realeza persa y puede referirse a diferentes líderes. Esto es similar a la forma en que el faraón es el título de gobernantes de Egipto)

Veremos que es significativo que en estos versículos hay cuatro palabras diferentes usadas para describir estas proclamaciones, y ninguna de ellas coincide con la palabra hebrea usada en Daniel 9 que es (דבר ~ Devar) que significa " palabra ".

Con cuatro proclamaciones diferentes, no hay justificación histórica para elegir la que se menciona en Nehemías 2 y no existe una fuente confiable que afirme que ocurrió exactamente en 444 a. Parece que los cristianos escogieron este pasaje por conveniencia y le asignaron esta fecha específica, porque si comienzas en el 444 a. EC y cuentas 69 semanas de años (483 años) llegas al 39 EC. Cualquiera que sea la razón por la que eligieron la referencia de Nehemías y la atribuyeron como ocurrida en el año 444 a. C, todavía faltan siete años para el año 32 dC cuando supuestamente Jesús murió.

Esta discrepancia de siete años es resuelta por los teólogos cristianos que redefinieron la definición de " año " . "Afirman que las profecías como las de Daniel deben entenderse en los" años proféticos "que tienen 360 días en lugar de 365 días y cuarto. El argumento de que Daniel podría estar hablando a los babilonios que pudieron haber tenido un año de 360 ​​no está confirmado y refutado por el hecho de que este pasaje particular se habla en hebreo a los judíos que tenían un calendario diferente en ese entonces y los babilonios que hablaban arameo.

Año profético vs año solar

Un intento cristiano de probar este concepto de los años proféticos es del Nuevo Testamento: " pisarán la ciudad santa durante 42 meses, y profetizarán por 1260 días. " Revelaciones 11: 2-3

Al dividir 1260 (días) por 42 (meses) obtienes 30 días por mes, ellos afirman que cada mes es de 30 días y un año bíblico profético sería por lo tanto de 360 ​​días (30 × 12 = 360). Un texto de prueba adicional utiliza los eventos que rodean la inundación. Los siguientes versículos se citan para mostrar cómo los meses bíblicos fueron períodos de 30 días,

" El agua prevaleció sobre la tierra por 150 días " Gen 7:24 y

la inundación comenzó,

" El día 17 del segundo mes " Gen 7:11 , y finalizó,

" El día 17 del séptimo mes ". Gen 8: 4 .

Argumentan que al tomar este período exacto de cinco meses y dividirlo en 150 días, verá que debe haber cinco meses de 30 días cada uno y, por lo tanto, un año sería de 360 ​​días. La discusión cristiana continúa que la diferencia entre un año solar de 365 ¼ días y el llamado año profético de 360 ​​días es lo que causó la discrepancia de siete años en su interpretación de Daniel 9, y la resolución del problema se logra convirtiendo el período de tiempo de años " bíblicos " a años solares.

Ellos argumentan que multiplicando 360 días por 483 años (69 semanas de años) obtienes 173,880 días proféticos. Para convertir esto en años solares, divides los 173,880 días por 365 1/4 (días) y obtendrás 476 años. 444 aC más 476 años le darán el año 32 dC, que según ellos es el año en que Jesús no solo hizo su entrada triunfal en Jerusalén (llegada del Mesías), sino que también fue crucificado (cortado).

Antes de explicar por qué esta línea de razonamiento es absolutamente falsa y simplemente un acto de desesperación para resolver su error de cálculo de 7 años, debemos explorar el significado correcto de Daniel 9 y el concepto de un año calendario judío.

Traduciendo a Daniel Correctamente

Es esencial para una correcta comprensión de Daniel 9, señalar que es incorrecto leer este pasaje como si estuviera hablando sobre el Mesías. Esto puede parecer obvio para los cristianos ya que sus traducciones tienen la palabra " Mesías " mencionada dos veces en este capítulo; sin embargo, esto es el resultado de una mala traducción flagrante e intencional de la palabra hebrea ( משיח ~ Moshiach ).

Esta palabra literalmente significa " ungido " y es un adjetivo como en 1 Samuel 10: 1-2 donde la palabra claramente significa un acto de consagración. No es un pronombre personal que se refiere a un individuo en particular llamado " El Mesías ". La palabra ( משיח ~ Moshiach ) se usa a lo largo de las Escrituras judías no menos de 100 veces y se refiere a una variedad de individuos y objetos. Por ejemplo:

Sacerdotes: Levítico 4: 3
Reyes: 1 Reyes 1:39
Profetas: Isaías 61: 1
Templo Alter: Éxodo 40: 9-11
Matzot ~ Pan sin levadura: Números 6:15
Ciro ~ un rey persa no judío: Isaías 45: 1

Incluso en las traducciones cristianas, la palabra Moshiach se traduce el 99% del tiempo como " ungido " . La única excepción es dos veces en Daniel 9, versículos 25 y 26. Esta inconsistencia es aún más evidente ya que los traductores cristianos traducen la palabra (משיח ~ Moshiach) como " ungido " un versículo anterior cuando se usa en Daniel 9:24. En este caso, se refiere a la unción de la cámara más interna del Templo Sagrado conocido como el " Lugar Santísimo " (קדשים קדש ~ Kodesh Kedoshim). Es incorrecto traducir esto, como lo hacen algunos misioneros, en el sentido de "el más santo " en un intento de hacer que esto se refiera al Mesías en lugar de a un lugar.

Por lo tanto, en Daniel, los pasajes deben traducirse correctamente como:

Daniel 9:24 " Hasta el príncipe ungido " y no como " Hasta el Mesías, el príncipe ".

Daniel 9:25 "el ungido será cortado " y no como " el Mesías será cortado ".

Además, en el versículo 25 no hay un artículo definido (Hey ~ ה) antes de la palabra (משיח ~ Moshiach), y es incorrecto traducir esto como "el Mesías" o "el ungido" como si se tratara de una exclusiva individual. Al traducir correctamente como un " individuo ungido, 7 ", los pasajes podrían referirse a cualquiera de una serie de individuos u objetos diferentes que fueron ungidos y no necesariamente " el Mesías ".

Un examen cuidadoso de Daniel 9 conducirá a una comprensión clara de exactamente a quién y a qué se refiere este capítulo. Un error adicional cometido por los cristianos es la traducción de 7 y 62 semanas como una unidad indivisa de 69 semanas. La versión cristiana lo hace sonar como si la llegada y el " corte " del " Mesías " tuviera lugar sesenta y nueve semanas (483 años) después de un decreto para restaurar Jerusalén. Agregan las semanas 7 y 62 juntas y tienen una persona (el Mesías) y dos eventos que ocurren hacia el final de la semana 69.

De hecho, según el hebreo, las semanas 7 y 62 son dos períodos separados y distintos. Un evento ocurre después de siete semanas y otro evento después de 62 semanas adicionales. En pocas palabras, si quisieras decir 69 en hebreo, dirías " sesenta y nueve ". No dirías " siete y sesenta y dos ".

Además, en Daniel está escrito " 7 semanas y 62 semanas en lugar de" 7 y 62 semanas ". El uso de la palabra" semanas "después de cada número también muestra que son eventos separados. El uso del artículo definido (ה ~ Hey) que significa " el " en el versículo 26, " y después de las 62 semanas se cortará el ungido ", a veces se elimina en las traducciones cristianas, pero su presencia en el original hebreo claramente indica que las 62 semanas se tratarán como un período separado de las 7 semanas originales.

La traducción correcta debería ser: " hasta que un príncipe ungido sea de 7 semanas (49 años)", "entonces durante 62 semanas (434 años) (Jerusalén) se edificará de nuevo, pero en tiempos difíciles". Luego, después de (aquellos) el 62 semanas se cortará a un ungido. " Daniel 9: 24-25

Dos eventos separados y ungidos, 62 semanas (434 años) de diferencia.

Los cristianos también incorrectamente tradujeron el hebreo (V'ayn Lo ~ לו ואין), al final de Daniel 9:26. Lo traducen diciendo que será cortado " pero no por sí mismo ", como si se refiriera a alguien que no se corta para sí mismo, sino que se nos corta e indica una forma de logro vicario. Sin embargo, el original hebreo significa " y él no será más " literalmente " y no más de él " e indica la finalidad de su fallecimiento. Curiosamente, la palabra hebrea (kares ~ תרת) traducida como "cortada" se refiere bíblicamente a alguien que ha pecado tan gravemente que se lo condena a muerte por decreto celestial como un castigo divino por sus propias transgresiones.

El conocimiento de estas ocho malas traducciones es esencial para comprender el noveno capítulo de Daniel. Recordar:

1. (קדשים קדש) significa " santo de holie s", no el " más santo "
2. (דבר ~ Devar) que significa " palabra ", no decreto.
3. (משיח ~ Moshiach) significa " ungido " no " Mesías " versículo 23
4. (משיח ~ Moshiach) significa " ungido " no " Mesías " versículo 24
5. " siete semanas y sesenta y dos " significa dos eventos uno a las 7 semanas y las otras 62 semanas después ningún evento después de un acumulado de 69 semanas
6. (Hey ~ ה) significa " el "
7. (V'ayn Lo ~ לו ואין) significa " no será más " no " no para él mismo "
8. (kares ~ תרת) significa la muerte de un transgresor que corta su relación con Dios.

Años de calendario judío

Además de las tesis, estos ocho errores de traducción cristianos, como se mencionó anteriormente, manipular su cálculo de las 69 semanas en Daniel 9 en un intento de que coincidan con la llegada y la muerte de Jesús en Jerusalén.

Los cristianos basaron su entendimiento con la creencia de que el punto de partida de la profecía comienza en 444 a. EC con el decreto emitido por el rey Artaxerxex ( Ezra 7: 11-16 ). Sesenta y nueve semanas (483 años) lo llevarían a 39 CE. Esto es 7 años fuera de la fecha comúnmente aceptada de 32 EC, siendo el año en que Jesús fue ejecutado. Como se mencionó anteriormente, intentan resolver este problema transformando los " años proféticos " en años solares. El problema es que, según la tradición y las escrituras judías, no existe el año profético de 360 ​​días.

La escritura judía claramente enseña que el calendario judío es tanto solar como lunar. Ya en Génesis 1:14, que trata de la creación del sol y la luna, se nos dice que "Que haya luces en el firmamento del cielo para separar el día de la noche, y que sean signos, y para las estaciones, y durante días y años "Ambas luminarias se utilizan para determinar nuestro calendario.

Un año solar es 365 1/4 días y un año lunar es 11 días más corto, 354 días. A diferencia del año de los gentiles, donde la duración de los meses se establece por convención en lugar de una relación con el calendario lunar, un calendario bíblico judío debe coincidir tanto con el sol (para las estaciones) como con la luna. Cuando Dios ordenó al pueblo de Israel que santificara los meses, estableció el mes en que se realizó el Éxodo como el primero de los meses. Éxodo 12: 1. Dios también ordenó observar la Pascua en la primavera, como se dice: " Observa el mes de la primavera y cumple la Pascua para con Dios, porque en el mes de la primavera Dios te sacó de Egipto ". Deut 16: 1.

En otras palabras, un calendario bíblico debe coincidir los meses con las estaciones creando un calendario Solar-Lunar.

Hay una diferencia de once días entre un año solar y un año lunar. Si las vacaciones judías se establecieran únicamente por un año lunar, las vacaciones se alejarían cada vez más de sus temporadas originales. Esto sucede todo el tiempo con el calendario lunar musulmán con Ramadán cayendo en una variedad de estaciones. Un calendario solar / lunar bíblico corrige esto agregando un año bisiesto de 13 meses aproximadamente cada 4 años. Algunos años tienen 12 meses y el año bisiesto tiene 13. El " año profético " fabricado de 360 ​​días no podría existir porque no permitiría que las festividades judías coincidieran tanto con los meses como con las temporadas.

Entendiendo a Daniel

Ahora podemos regresar al comienzo de Daniel 9 y establecer el punto de partida correcto para la profecía de Daniel. El mayor error cristiano en establecer el punto de partida de la profecía de Daniel es causado por la mala traducción del versículo: " por tanto , conocer y discernir desde la salida del decreto para restaurar y reconstruir a Jerusalén ". Daniel 9:25.

Dado que su traducción afirma que el punto de partida de esta profecía proviene de la emisión de un determinado decreto para reconstruir Jerusalén, incorrectamente asumen que es el decreto del Rey Artaxerxex. Sin embargo, como se mencionó anteriormente, hubo una serie de diferentes decretos relacionados con el regreso y la reconstrucción de Jerusalén.

En Daniel 9:25, el hebreo original usaba la palabra (דבר ~ Devar) que es significativamente diferente de un decreto humano. La palabra (דבר ~ Devar) se refiere a una palabra profética. En el comienzo de Daniel 9 versículo 2, esta palabra se usa cuando Daniel dice que quiere entender " la palabra del Señor al profeta Jeremías ".

Como se mencionó anteriormente, en todos los pasajes que mencionan alguna forma de decreto o proclamación concerniente a Jerusalén, ninguno de ellos usa la palabra hebrea (דבר ~ Devar).

La traducción correcta de Daniel debería ser: " Conoce, pues, y discierne eso desde la salida de la palabra para restaurar y reconstruir a Jerusalén " Daniel 9:25.

Por lo tanto, el punto de partida correcto de la profecía de Daniel debe estar asociado con la emisión de una palabra profética y no un decreto humano. La palabra (דבר ~ Devar) se usa al comienzo del capítulo 9 de Daniel. Una lectura cuidadosa del comienzo de este capítulo aclara el significado correcto de la referencia a la "palabra para restaurar y edificar Jerusalén" mencionada en Daniel 9:25. .

El Capítulo 9 comienza de la siguiente manera: " Yo Daniel consideré (o contemplé) en los libros el número de años que la palabra (דבר ~ Devar) de Di-s llegó a Jeremías el Profeta que llevaría a la destrucción de Jerusalén " Daniel 9: 2

Aquí Daniel usa la palabra (דבר ~ Devar) cuando reflexiona sobre el número de años de los que habló Jeremías. Jeremías había profetizado dos veces acerca de un período de 70 años.

Una vez, Jeremías dijo: " y esta nación servirá al rey de Babilonia 70 años, y cuando se cumplan setenta años castigaré al rey de Babilonia ya esa nación ... y la convertiré en desolación eterna " Jeremías 25: 11- 12

Esta profecía dice que Babilonia dominaría Israel por un total de 70 años.

Jeremías también dice: " Después de que se cumplan 70 años en Babilonia, te prestaré atención y cumpliré contigo mi buena palabra para que regreses a este lugar ". Jeremías 29: l0

Esta profecía dice que después de los 70 años, además del fin de la dominación babilónica, los judíos también regresarían a Jerusalén desde el exilio de Babilonia. Hay dos profecías de Jeremías concernientes a: 1) el sometimiento, y 2) regresar a Jerusalén.

Los 70 años de Jeremías comienzan desde el sometimiento inicial de Jerusalén por parte del rey Nabucodonosor de Babilonia. Esto tuvo lugar 18 años antes de la destrucción de Jerusalén, como lo demuestran los siguientes pasajes: Sabemos que los babilonios destruyeron Jerusalén en el año 19 del rey Nabucodonosor. Como dice:

" En el año 19 de Nabucodonosor, Nebuzaradán el principal ejecutor estaba al servicio del rey de Babilonia, vino a Jerusalén ... y destruyó el Templo de Dios " Jeremías 52: 12-13

El año 19 significa que ya se han completado 18 años completos. Nabucodonosor comenzó a someter a Jerusalén en su primer año de su gobierno; esto se puede derivar de los siguientes versos;

" En el tercer año del rey Yehoyakim (tres años completos), Nabucodonosor llegó a sitiar Jerusalén " Daniel 1: 1

" En el cuarto año (tres años completos) de Yehoyakim que fue el primer año de Nabucodonosor " Jeremías 25: 1

Estos versículos demuestran que Nabucodonosor comenzó a sitiar Jerusalén en su primer año y la destrucción de Jerusalén tuvo lugar en su "año 19". Por lo tanto, habían pasado 18 años completos desde el comienzo del asedio hasta la destrucción de Jerusalén. Durante estos 18 años Jerusalén fue sitiada y completamente rodeada. Las Escrituras también indican que los 70 años de Jeremías se completaron con el advenimiento de Ciro el Rey del Imperio Persa. Como dice:

" En el año primero de Ciro, rey de Persia, para que se cumpliese la palabra del Señor por boca de Jeremías ". Esdras 1: 1-3

"Los que sobrevivieron a la espada se exiliaron a Babilonia, donde se convirtieron en esclavos de él y sus hijos hasta que el reino de Persia comenzó a reinar. Este fue el cumplimiento de la palabra de Dios a Jeremías, hasta que la tierra se aplacó de sus años sabáticos, todos los años de su desolación descansó, hasta la finalización de 70 años. En el primer año de Ciro rey de Persia, al expirar la profecía de Dios pronunciada por Jeremías. Dios despertó el espíritu de Ciro, rey de Persia, y emite una proclamación ... para construir un templo en Jerusalén ". 2 Crónicas 36: 20-23

Además de que el gobierno babilónico terminó en cumplimiento de Jeremías 25: 11-12, Ciro también dio permiso, en cumplimiento de Jeremías 29:10, a los judíos para que regresen a Jerusalén, como se dice;

" El que está entre vosotros, todo su pueblo, que su Dios sea con él, y le permita ir a Jerusalén, que está en Judá, y edificar la casa de Jehová, el Dios de Israel ." Esdras 1: 4

Es importante recordar que desde el comienzo del reinado de Nabucodonosor, 18 años antes de la caída de Jerusalén, hasta la caída del Imperio Babilónico, cuando Ciro llegó al poder, habían transcurrido 70 años. Al restar los 18 años de sometimiento antes de la destrucción del primer Templo de un total de 70 años, nos quedan 52 años. Esto prueba que el rey Ciro se levantó al poder y cumplió la profecía de Jeremías 52 años después de la destrucción de Jerusalén.

Esto juega un papel esencial en la comprensión de Daniel 9. Daniel anhelaba no solo que el Imperio Babilónico cesara 70 años después del sometimiento de Jerusalén; anhelaba ver el regreso a Jerusalén y la reconstrucción del Templo. Cuando Daniel comienza a hablar en el capítulo 9, es en el primer año de Darío el Mediano. Este Darío se menciona anteriormente en Daniel 6: 1 y llamó a los medos para que no se confundiera con Darío, hijo de Adhasverous el persa, que nació más tarde durante los días de Amán y Ester.

Daniel estaba confundido porque aunque ahora era testigo de que, con el advenimiento de Darío, los 70 años para la subyugación babilónica habían terminado en Jeremías 25: 11-12, Daniel aún no había visto el cumplimiento de Jeremías 29:10 que prometía que después los 70 años que los judíos exiliados regresarían y reconstruirían Jerusalén. Él no previó que muy pronto el mundo de Ciro gobernaría y cumpliría esta promesa.

Daniel pensó que tal vez, debido a los pecados de Israel, la fecha se había retrasado. Es por eso que Daniel confiesa por los pecados de las personas en el versículo 4-20 y dice.

" Ahora todavía estaba hablando y orando y confesando mis pecados y los pecados de mi pueblo Israel y lanzando mis súplicas ante el Señor Mi Dios acerca del monte santo (el Santuario como se ve en Isaías 56: 7) de mi Dios ." Daniel 9 : 20

Esto explica por qué al comienzo del capítulo 9 Daniel contempló el número de años hasta la destrucción de Jerusalén y no a la subyugación, como dice: " Yo Daniel contemplé los cálculos, el número de años acerca de lo que la palabra de Dios vino a el profeta Jeremías, para completar los 70 años hasta la destrucción (לחרבות ~ L'Charvot) de Jerusalén . " Daniel 9: 2

Daniel vio que la subyugación había terminado, pero que no solo quería ver el regreso a Jerusalén, sino que también quería saber cuándo la destrucción terminaría con la construcción del segundo Templo. De hecho, después de un año de gobierno de Darío, el rey Ciro tomó el poder y cumplió Jeremías 29 y permitió a los judíos regresar a Jerusalén. Pero el deseo de Daniel de comprender los años de Jeremías hasta la destrucción de Jerusalén, dio como resultado la revelación de una comprensión nueva y adicional de Jeremías:

Ahora hay tres profecías diferentes acerca de 70 años.

1) 70 años de subyugación (Jeremías 25)
2) 70 años hasta que regresen a Jerusalén (Jeremías 29)
3) 70 años de la destrucción de Jerusalén (Daniel 9).

Mientras que los cálculos de los primeros dos comienzan con el sometimiento de Jerusalén 18 años antes de su destrucción, la nueva percepción de Daniel sobre los 70 años de destrucción total debe calcularse desde un punto de partida diferente, la fecha en que Jerusalén fue destruida. De hecho, a partir de la destrucción del primer Templo hasta la finalización de la construcción del segundo Templo fue exactamente de 70 años.

Como resultado de la oración de Daniel, confesando y contemplando acerca de los años hasta la destrucción de Jerusalén, el ángel Gabriel (versículo 21), le reveló y amplió la profecía de 70 semanas (490 años).

El punto de partida de esta profecía " que desde el principio de la palabra para restaurar y reconstruir Jerusalén " Daniel 9:25 , también comienza desde la Destrucción del Primer Templo.

El uso de la palabra hebrea (דבר ~ Devar) tanto en Daniel 9:25 como en Daniel 9: 2 también establece que comparten el mismo punto de comienzo, la destrucción de Jerusalén.

A partir de la destrucción de Jerusalén ahora podemos ver el significado de Daniel 9: 24-26. De la palabra profética (דבר ~ Devar) que se refiere a la destrucción del primer Templo hasta que un Príncipe ungido (el hebreo (נגיד ~ nagid) se traduce correctamente como Líder), será de siete semanas (49 años). Como se demostró anteriormente, desde la destrucción de Jerusalén hasta que Ciro duró 52 años, esto ocurre dentro de la séptima semana (49 años y antes de las 8 semanas, 56 años).

Ciro no solo inició la reconstrucción del Templo (Esdras 1: 1-3, Esdras 5:13, Esdras 6: 3 e Isaías 44:28), sino que también es llamado e identificado como ungido de Dios, como dice: " Así dice el Señor a su ungido, Ciro " Isaías 45: 1

Recuerde que hay dos sujetos ungidos, uno después de las siete semanas y otro después de 62 semanas adicionales. El primer individuo " ungido " identificado como un príncipe / líder en Daniel 9:25 es el Rey Ciro, que vino siete semanas después de la destrucción de Jerusalén. Luego, desde el Decreto de Ciro para reconstruir Jerusalén, " se construirá nuevamente " durante 62 semanas adicionales (434 años). Pero " en tiempos difíciles", "Daniel 9:25, que significa bajo la dominación extranjera del dominio persa, griego y romano posterior. El griego se menciona en Daniel 11: 2 y Roman aludió en Daniel 1:30 donde la palabra (כתים ~ Kittim) se refiere a la capital romana de Constantinopla) Luego en la semana 69 (483 años) después de la destrucción del primer Templo y una semana (7 años) antes de la destrucción del segundo Templo, un ungido es cortado.

El hecho de que no haya un artículo definido indica que esto puede referirse a varios temas ungidos diferentes. El rey Agripa, el último rey de Israel (los reyes se consideran ungidos, como se dice en 1 Crónicas 11: 3), fue asesinado durante este tiempo. También se refiere al último Sumo Sacerdote (los sacerdotes son ungidos como se ve en Levítico 4) y los sacrificios (indicados en Levítico 8: 10-11). Los tres sujetos fueron considerados ungidos y fueron cortados durante la última semana antes de la destrucción del segundo Templo.

"La gente del príncipe vendrá y destruirá la ciudad y el Santuario " Daniel 9:26,

se refiere a las legiones romanas de Vespasiano y Tito, que destruyeron Jerusalén. Además, el sistema de sacrificio (que fue ungido) cesó durante esta última semana antes de la finalización de las 70 semanas totales de 490 años, como se dice, " durante la mitad de la semana abolirá el sacrificio y las ofrendas " Daniel 9:27

Históricamente, durante los años previos a la destrucción del segundo Templo, los romanos establecieron la idolatría en el Templo cumpliendo el versículo final en Daniel 9 que dice: " Sobre alas de abominación vendrá el que desobedece hasta que la destrucción decretada sea derramada desoladora " Daniel 9:27

Los romanos, que a menudo son simbolizados por las alas de águila descansando en sus estándares, profanarían el templo con idolatría; destruir el templo que permanecería desolado hasta que el exilio romano haya terminado con el advenimiento de la verdadera era mesiánica de paz completa, tranquilidad y conocimiento de Dios. El exilio de hoy se considera una extensión del exilio romano que ha durado más de 2,000 años.

En Daniel 9, los 70 años originales son desde la destrucción del primer Templo hasta la construcción del segundo. Si hubieran regresado de todo corazón, no habría habido necesidad de destruir el segundo Templo, y los eventos enumerados en el versículo 24 se habrían cumplido.

" Setenta semanas (490 años) se determinan en su pueblo y en su ciudad santa, para terminar la transgresión y para poner fin a los pecados y para reconciliarse por la iniquidad (expiar sus transgresiones pasadas) y para traer la justicia eterna ( Servicio en el templo que trae la justicia), y sellar la visión y la profecía (cumplir las promesas de los profetas y terminar la era profética) y, ungir el Lugar Santísimo (el Templo) " Daniel 9:24

El ángel Gabriel le revela a Daniel esta comprensión adicional de los 70 años extendiéndola de 70 años a 70 semanas de años que se extienden por un lapso de 490 años que abarcan desde la destrucción del primer Templo hasta la destrucción del segundo Templo. Esta profecía también incluía una descripción de los eventos que se desarrollarían si el pueblo judío no se arrepentía adecuadamente.

Estos son los 70 años del primer exilio (52 años hasta Cyrus y 18 años adicionales para dedicar el segundo Templo) y 420 años del segundo Templo.

Although there appears to be a discrepancy in chronology between the Jewish and secular Gregorian calendars of 166 years (with the secular dates earlier) it is clear that Jewish record keeping is more reliable and consistent concerning these events. Babylonian calendars changed arbitrarily with every new Babylonian king and limited archeological discoveries often reflect their arbitrary chronology. (According to secular chronology 586 BCE is the year incorrectly associated with the destruction of the first Temple the Jewish)

This is how Daniel 9:24-26 should be correctly translated and understood:

24) Seventy weeks (490 years) are determined upon your people and upon your 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, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Holy of Holies.
25) Know therefore and discern that from the issuing of a word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem (starting from its destruction) until an anointed Prince (Cyrus) will be seven weeks (49 years) and then for sixty-two weeks (434 years) it will be built again with plaza and moat but in troubled times. (Persian, Greek and Roman domination)
26) Then after the sixty-two weeks (483 years from the destruction of the first Temple) an anointed one (sacrifices, last Jewish priest and king) will be cut off and will be no more, and the people of the prince (Romans) who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. (in the 70th week 490 years from the destruction of the first Temple)

This is a brief explanation of Daniel chapter 9. Any attempt to apply this chapter to Jesus is erroneous and wrought with mistranslations and misinterpretations.

¡Este es un error tan grave!

Ver mis notas:

¿QUIÉN ES EL NIÑO PROFETIZADO EN ISAÍAS CAPÍTULO 9?

Ahora debemos leer por nosotros mismos y descubrir quién es el niño en el capítulo 9 de Isaías. Mis hermanos y hermanas esperan que Dios les muestre lo que me ha revelado. Este es un niño totalmente diferente en total.

Isaías profetizó acerca de más de un niño. Ahora sabemos que el primer hijo fue una señal para el rey Acaz de Dios de que las naciones de Samaria e Israel no conquistarían la nación de Judá. Por lo tanto, cuando el niño naciera llamarían al niño Immanu-El como confirmación de que la palabra de Dios era verdadera y que Él estaba con ellos / Judá en la batalla contra sus enemigos.

Ahora este SEGUNDO hijo en el capítulo 9 es un niño diferente por completo. Esta profecía anuncia el nacimiento de un Rey especial y un líder militar. Antes de llegar al nacimiento del niño, permítame darle una breve descripción general para que comprenda por qué fue necesaria la profecía. Para hacerlo, debemos retroceder un poco hasta la conclusión del capítulo 8 .

En el capítulo 8 versículo 6, Dios le dice a Isaías que la gente de Jerusalén planea rechazarlo y, en su lugar, piensa que estarán a salvo pidiéndole al rey Rezín y al rey Pekah que unan sus fuerzas. Por tal desobediencia, Dios da instrucciones claras de cuáles serán las consecuencias.

La gente todavía se niega y Dios fortalece las manos de los ejércitos asirios para aplastar a Judá y llevarlos al cautiverio. ¡Vaya! Por su estupidez, todo Israel ahora muere de hambre, es golpeado severamente, los niños son quemados, asesinados, torturados, etc. Las dos naciones en las que ponen su fe también se destruyen porque Dios escogió a Asiria para cumplir sus órdenes. Asiria es enviado por Dios para matar y torturar a todo Israel. Oh, pero espera! ¡Hay esperanza en el horizonte! Esa nueva esperanza comienza en el primer versículo en el Capítulo 9 .

• SIN EMBARGO, la penumbra no será tal como estaba en su aflicción, cuando al principio afligió levemente la tierra de Zabulón y la tierra de Neftalí, y después la afligió más gravemente por el camino del mar, más allá del Jordán, en Galilea. las Naciones. ISAÍAS 9: 1 KJV

Observe que la palabra clave para nosotros en este versículo es: Sin embargo . ¡La comprensión de esta palabra es muy crucial para el punto contextual de Dios!

Esta palabra significa: sin embargo , o " POR OTRO LADO ".

En el capítulo 9 versículos 1 al 8, después de sufrir un destino tan vergonzoso, Dios envía a Isaías a los cautivos para consolarlos. Al comienzo de este capítulo, Dios dice:

"¡POR OTRO LADO, no te castigaré para siempre!"

Dios promete a estos judíos que caminaron en la oscuridad que su sufrimiento no durará para siempre. Isaías da una nueva profecía de redención de Asiria. En los versículos 1 al 5, Isaías alegremente les dice a estos judíos que pronto verán el poder del Señor rompiendo sus cadenas y dándoles su libertad.

¡Se han arrepentido y ahora ha salido una gran luz de ellos! Dios está enviando a su libertador; un hombre normal que nacerá en medio de ellos. Dios está prometiendo un "Mesías / Rey" para liberarlos en el futuro cercano . Entonces Dios promete que este Rey acaba de nacer y vendrá a través de sus propias filas. Ahora podemos seguir leyendo para comprender el siguiente verso:

• "Porque a nosotros nos ha nacido un niño , a nosotros se nos ha dado un hijo ; y el gobierno estará sobre su hombro, y su nombre se llamará Maravilloso, Consejero, Dios fuerte, Padre eterno, Príncipe de paz. "Isaías 9: 6

Observe lo que Isaías está diciendo aquí. Después de prometer la libertad, Isaías dice:

"Porque a nosotros nos ha nacido un niño , a nosotros se nos ha dado un hijo ".

¡Ahora podemos ver que Dios dice tres cosas distintas en este versículo, dos de ellas en tiempo presente y una en tiempo futuro!

1. Un “ NIÑO / REY ” ha llegado a SIDO nacido. ( Tiempo presente )

¡El niño viene de aquellos que están en cautiverio ahora mismo! Observe de nuevo que dice que un niño nos ha nacido. Este es un evento que acaba de ocurrir, no un evento en el futuro. Un evento futuro diría que un niño "nos" nacerá o un niño "nos" nacerá a nosotros.

Esto no es lo que dice el versículo. Dado que el nacimiento sucedió en la vida de Isaías, no pudo referirse a Jesús, que nació muchos cientos de años después.

2. Un “ HIJO / Hombre / REY ” ha llegado a SIDO nacido. ( Tiempo presente )

Para mayor claridad, Isaías se repite y le dice al esclavo que el niño / rey profético está vivo ahora y que este niño / rey los liberará de Asiria.

3. El gobierno DEBERÁ estar sobre su hombro. ( FutureTense ).

Isaiah continues and says that this very child is the “SON” or descendant of King David will have government ruler ship. In other words this child will be the new King of Judah at the proper time. Until that time they will have to endure punishment because of their sins.

Now the confusion arises in the next series of King James translations. Again think about the context below.

• “HIS NAME” shall be called WONDERFUL,COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING,FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE.” Isaiah 9:6

Now you might ask:

Can these titles be given to an ordinary man?

My answer is yes. Let me explain.

The simplest explanation here is you must remember soon this child will be the new King of the Jews. God is promising the Jews that their King will be the key figure who is in leadership when God brings the Jews out of the Assyrian captivity.

Isaiah tells the people to rejoice because their King/Messiah has already been born. Isaiah then tells the people about their rescuer. After this King is ordained by God to free the people, the Jews then will proclaim the king is a literal Messiah/Anointed/Christ that is sent from God. Isaiah then tells us the names the people in celebration will begin to call the person who finally rescues them.

1. They will call this King “WONDERFUL” for bringing them out of bondage.
2. They will call this King “COUNSELOR” because this man will sit on the throne of His father David and teach or council the people the Laws of YHWH given by Moses all the days of His rulership.
3. They will call this King a “PEACEFUL” Ruler because he will execute justice for the poor, widows and the fatherless under His authority all throughout his reign.

He is called a Peaceful ruler not the Prince of Peace. That is stupid if you think of it. Why would Isaiah reduce a King’s title down to the title of a “PRINCE?” Would that make any sense to you?As you can see the non

Jewish translators are the ones who have this wrong.

Now someone will definitely ask the question:

“What about him being called

the Mighty God and Everlasting Father?”

That is a valid question because of the way the King James Bible writers have translated this verse as well. The answer to this question is: NO, the King is not going to be called the Mighty God or Everlasting Father at all.

So it has to be a prophecy about Jesus right? No it is not a prophecy about Jesus either. Remember in the New Testament Jesus was never called the Mighty God or the Everlasting Father either.

Jesus always gave praise to the Everlasting Father throughout the New Testament. Knowing that fact then everyone should conclude that this verse is not about Jesus either. The confusion started when the translators tried to break down the Hebrew phrase: Pele Joez -El Gibbor-Ed-Al- shalom.

Isaiah never expected this great King or Jesus or anyone else to actually be known as YHWH the Eternal Father at all. I will prove this point with word for word scripture farther down in this chapter. Now even the Christian biased Strong’s Concordance points out something that is of great interest to the “Mighty God” theory proposed by the translators.

Strong’s Ref. # 410 Romanized ‘el, Pronounced: ale

Shortened from HSN0352; strength; as adjective, mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity):

Now according to Strong’s, the KJV gives these meaning for the Hebrew word “’EL”:

KJV–God (god), X goodly,X great, idol, might (-y one), power, strong. Compare names in “-el.”

{{ Online Lexicons : http://lexiconcordance.com/hebrew/0410.html }}

Notice just how many different definitions there are for the phrase in verse 9:6. Now if I am purposely trying to influence the world and prove to everyone that Jesus is this person prophesied by Isaiah of course I am going to substitute a word that will further help substantiate my belief system.

As you can see if we were to use any of the other terms that naturally apply to the Hebrew word ‘EL then the pro-Christian theory loses all credibility.

So instead of this man being called the Mighty God, this man or King will be called by his followers merely as a strong or mighty one. Not a deity at all!Can you now see the deception my Brothers and Sisters?

If we re-write Isaiah 9:6 and use anyone of the other definitions given by the King James and the Strong’s Concordance scholars then we will get Isaiah’s true message from the verse:

• “For unto us(HEBREWS/JEWS IN CAPTIVITY), 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, A Mighty One, forever, a man of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 KJV

Just by placing another unbiased definition in this verse we can see how verse 6 ties in with verses 01 through 5. With this change no one in their right minds will think that the person prophesied in this verse is supernatural in nature at all.

Think on these points for a second:

1. If Jesus’ name is the “Eternal Father,” then why don’t we call Jesus “Eternal Father”? Why didn’t the New Testament writers?

2. If this King is to be literally accepted as the actual Eternal Father why is he to rule on David’s throne forever? Who is ruling in heaven if the Everlasting Father is on earth hmm?

3. If Jesus is the MIGHTY GOD who does He pray to even when He is“ALONE?” Was it to Himself? That would make Him crazy, right?

(I guess only if He answers…)

4. If Jesus is the “KING of kings” then why would He be called the

“PRINCE of peace?”

So as you can see theologians never really seem to think of the obvious.

Now remember I just told you that I would also prove that Isaiah9:6 wasn’t calling the Messiah the Mighty God? Well let’s look at the following verse that says these words:

• 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. Isaiah 9:7 KJV

Notice the two underlined words in the text above. If Jesus is God as Christians claim then ask yourself:

“What Increase shall this man have?”

I mean God owns everything right?

So common sense lets you know that when the bible says this person’s government will continue to “INCREASE” the bible is simply telling us that God will bless that one particular King’s reign all the days of his mortal life. Notice how the second underlined word in verse 7 confirms this when it says, the “zeal” or power of YHWH will perform this great miracle.

Again common sense people! God is not reigning on the throne of David because God is letting the King reign. This is the very reason why God is sending Isaiah to the captives to encourage them while they are about to be at their lowest point. God is promising an anointed one to once again sit on David’s throne nothing more!

You have to understand the entire context of what Isaiah is writing. Isaiah is in no way interweaving futuristic prophecies of an end times Messiah into his writings.

That is stupid.Verse 6 runs right into verse 7 in context and verse 7 runs directly into verse 8 and so on. Notice Isaiah continues to speak in the “present tense” form of writing.

Verse 9 almost guarantees the fact that verse 6, and 7 are only for the captives of Assyria when it says the following:

• “And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria.” Isaiah 9:9 KJV

The theologians are totally wrong when they tell us that verses 6 and 7 speak of a futuristic prophecy of a Messiah.

This is easily proven by simply reading the verses that follow in context. In verse 9, Isaiah clearly says that Ephraim and all of the people of Samaria will be alive to see this prophecy come to fruition.

This means that this child king is born during a time period when Ephraim/Samaria is still a functioning nation.

Remember two chapters earlier in Isaiah 7: 8 God said that Ephraim will cease to be a nation? Jeremiah confirms this too!

• And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. Jeremiah 7:15

Wow the bible is amazing! You wanted the proof and the bible gave you the truth that you asked for!

These verses that you have just read prove without question that Isaiah was not giving a prophecy about Jesus. During the lifetime of Jesus Ephraim/Samaria was not a viable nation and Jesus was never a King.

So what answers can your ministers possible give that will explain away these two damaging facts? They will not have any for you. Since you now know more than he does maybe you will be able to teach him something now…

So to recap what we’ve now learned, Isaiah was merely telling us the name attributes associated with the notoriety of the human king and that this man will become a legend to the Jews by what he does. Other Old Testament writers also tell about this human king and just like Isaiah they also speak of the associated attributes the people will give to this prophesied human king:

• “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous branch and A KING shall reign and PROSPER, and shall execute JUDGMENT and JUSTICE in the EARTH. In “HIS DAYS”,JUDAH shall be saved and ISRAEL shall dwell SAFELY and THIS IS HIS NAME whereby HE shall be called, the LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” JEREMIAH 23:5, 6

So just like Isaiah’s words God is telling the captives that He will do several distinct things

1. God will rise up a Righteous branch or a new Jewish nation.

2. God will rise up a new human king.

3. The human king will be very “Righteous.”

4. The king will be prosperous or reign in prosperity.

5. The king will cause judgment and justice in or (on) the earth.

6. This judgment and justice will happen during his days or “lifespan.”

7. Because of this prophesied king, Judah and Israel will finally be safe and return back to their homeland.

Wow! That is a lot of revelations in just two verses. …

Now do you know of anyone in the New Testament that has fulfilled any of these requirements? Wow, neither do I…

In this verse, Jeremiah gives identical name attributes as in Isaiah’s scripture. Compare this verse to Isaiah 9:6:

1. JEREMIAH says:

• “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a RIGHTEOUS branch and A (KING) shall REIGN and (PROSPER). JEREMIAH 23:5,

Jeremiah says a “SON” of David shall reign on the throne. Does Isaiah’s prophecy tell us the same thing?

2. ISAIAH says:

• “For unto us a (SON) is given; and the GOVERNMENT shall be upon (HISSHOULDER).” ISAIAH 9:6

Isaiah and Jeremiah both prophesy of the son of David’s ascension to the throne during troubled times. Let’s look at more especially the underlined words in the next verses:

3. JEREMIAH says:

• A (KING) shall reign and prosper, and shall execute (JUDGMENT)and JUSTICE in the earth. In his days, Judah shall be SAVED, and Israel shall dwell safely.” Jeremiah 23:6,KJV

According to Jeremiah, this king shall successfully reign asking and PROSPER.He will execute and establish JUDGMENT and JUSTICE in his kingdom throughout all of (HIS DAYS). Key words: In His Days. This means during that king’s lifetime.What does Isaiah’s prophecy have to say?

4. ISAIAH says:

• “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 forever.” Isaiah 9:7 KJV

Again both prophecies are exactly the same. Notice the first words of the verse tell us what will happen during the king’s lifetime. It says during “his” governmental reign, peace will not end just like Jeremiah also says.

The key words in this verse are, “henceforth EVEN forever.”

Now what does that phrase mean? Well it definitely does not mean that this king will be in power forever. Even though the Jews sinfulness placed them in this predicament they knew this phrase meant that God would once again honor his promises to David.

The Jews knew that as long as they obeyed God’s laws and statutes Judah would never cease to have a king sitting on the throne of David until the end of time. That is what is meant by henceforth and forever. Now you know…

If you read Psalms 89 you will truly understand the context of the Jeremiah and Isaiah texts. Below I have taken the liberty to give you an excerpt below for those too lazy to read the Psalms for an understanding on their own. Focus on the underlined words in the text and you will see the truth:

PSALM 89

26. He shall cry unto me, thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

27. Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

28. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall standfast with

him.

29. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of

heaven.

30. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

31. If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

32. Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

33. Nevertheless my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my

faithfulness to fail.

34. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

35. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

36. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

37. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.

Isn’t it amazing what true revelations come forth with just a little scriptural reading?

Now you can fully understand what Isaiah and Jeremiah are trying to say about the new king of Israel. So Isaiah 9:6 is a prophecy of a new King who would free them from their oppression and not a prophecy of Jesus’alleged second coming.

With the blessings and power of God this human king will be on the throne of David when God frees Judah and Israel from their Assyrian oppressors. Isaiah agrees with Jeremiah that Judah and Israel will be saved:

• “20. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of“ISRAEL,” and such as are escaped of the house of “JACOB,”shall no more again stay upon him that smote “them…” 21. The Remnant shall return even the remnant of “JACOB, unto the might God.” Isaiah 10:20,21

Jeremiah23:5, 6, Isaiah 9:6,7 and Isaiah 10:21, 22 identical prophecies of redemption by two different Prophets!

So now you can understand the true meaning of Isaiah (9:6).

You have to remember one important thing people of God. Just like a disobedient child still has to face a spanking or punishment for his sins the Jews still have to endure their punishment as well.

Their human king is born, yes, but the prophetic fulfillment will not occur for many years until he is of age to actually sit on the throne.

Next we will see that both Prophets also give distinct characteristic attributes for this new king as well.

Let’s start with Jeremiah first and then move on to Isaiah…

Remember we just read about the righteous king that God would place on the throne to reign and execute justice and judgment. Now here comes the deception the Christian churches have purposely left out. Now Jeremiah verse 6ends as follows in the King James Bible:

• “This is HIS NAME” whereby HE shall be called, the LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Jeremiah 23:6 KJV

After reading this verse we all would assume that this king possibly Jesus is actually being proclaimed the LORD/GOD right?

Wrong!

In reading the Hebrew/Jewish versions of this Old Testament verse Isaiah is crystal clear to us in what his point was. Let’s look at other versions for clarity:

• “In his days Judah will triumph and Israel live in safety. And this is the NAME” he will be called, YAHWEH-is-our-Saving-Justice.” New Jerusalem with Apocrypha Jeremiah 23:6

Do you need a more Christian version of this truth?

• “In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is HIS NAME” whereby he shall be called: JEHOVAH our righteousness.” American Standard Jeremiah 23:6

Jeremiah never says the human king is the actual true and living God Yahweh.

No king has or ever will be known by such a blasphemous claim.

Jeremiah is simply letting us know the prophetic name attributes of the new human king that will reign on the throne when Judah and Israel are finally free from their captors.

Because of his actions the will be called by those ONLY in Judah and Israel who now live in safety as the Lord our righteousness.

The first half of the verse proves this point for us with the very first words in verse 6:

“In his days Judah will triumph and Israel live in safety.” Jeremiah 23:6 KJV

Jeremiah clearly lets us know that this event is happening in a period of time when Judah and Israel are in a state of bondage which proves this prophecy is not concerning Jesus.

Lastly, Isaiah repeats the same name attributes when he says:

• HIS NAME” shall be called: WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, MIGHTY, GOD, EVERLASTING, FATHER,PRINCE OF PEACE.” Isaiah 9:6 KJV

Can you see why the Greco-Roman Church couldn’t allow us to learn the truth?

Isaiah wasn’t prophesying about the 1st coming of Jesus or the 2nd coming of Jesus at all. Jeremiah and Isaiah tell the same story the same way. Isaiah says:

“The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah9:7 KJV

So clearly both Isaiah and Jeremiah are saying this King will be sent by YHWH and it is only by the ZEAL/POWER of God that will make the people free.

The Mighty God is not going to place Himself on the throne that is simply ridiculous.

Jesus said many times that the Everlasting Father is the one who taught Him and granted Him certain limited powers to perform His miracles.

So Jesus wouldn’t ever think to blaspheme God and call Himself the Mighty God. We have been lied to…

• “Of HIS government and peace there shall be no end.” Isaiah 9:7 KJV

Hear me clearly people! This was not a promise that any person would have an Eternal government forever. Isaiah is telling us that there all war will end and Judah and Israel will be at peace as long as this particular king lives. God appoints this King to sit on the throne of David and to rule His kingdom with judgment and justice. A Christian may ask:

What about the words “from henceforth even forever?”How can Hezekiah’s kingdom last forever?

Let’s look at Exodus 21:5-6:

• “But if the bondsman shall say, “I love my master, my wife, and my children — I shall not go free.” Then his master shall bring him to the court and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore through his ear with the awl, and he shall serve him “FOREVER.” Isaiah 9:7

L`olaam”(everlasting)is the Hebrew word for FOREVER.

This word can mean for all eternity or for a longtime depending upon the context. Obviously a slave can’t serve his master forever he will eventually die or be set free so we must understand the Jewish context of the verse.

In the context of the scriptures:

“Of HIS government and PEACE there shall be no end.”

Since this is a righteous King, God is confirming the promises to David that there will be a descendant on his throne. Listen as God once again confirms a similar promise with David’s seed, His son Solomon. Again look at the underlined words:

• “And (IF) thou wilt walk before me, as “DAVID” thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments Then I will establish the throne of Thy KINGDOM upon Israel “FOREVER” as I “PROMISED DAVID” thy father, saying, There shall “NOT” fail thee a man upon the “THRONE” of Israel.” 1st Kings 9:4 KJV

Now did Solomon’s kingdom last FOREVER as the scriptures just proclaimed?

NO,OF COURSE NOT!!!!

Solomon’s kingdom did not last forever and neither did David’s. So as you can see, the use of Forever did not mean throughout all Eternity as our Christian Theologians want us to believe.

The use only refers to a considerable length of time such as the individual’s own life span. The length of time each King and his Princes reigned in power was always conditional to following God’s Laws and Judgments. Read Psalms 89:29-37

29. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

30. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

31. If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

32. Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

35. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

36. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

37. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.

This “forever”promise is not just limited to just Psalms 89 but also repeat over and over for the Jews in other chapters as well!

• “The LORD hath sworn in truth unto DAVID’ he will not turn from it; of the “FRUIT/SEED” of thy body will I set upon thy THRONE. PSALMS 132:11,

“IF” THY CHILDREN” will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, “THEIR CHILDREN” shall“ALSO” sit upon thy THRONE FOREVERMORE.” PSALMS132:11

So as you can see the word “forever” in context is “CONDITIONAL” and is limited to

a specific amount of time.

This peace is limited to the presiding King’s own lifetime.

If the king’s children are obedient to God laws and statutes then they too shall enjoy good fortune on the throne during their tenure as well. Nothing else is needed to say on this subject so now let’s move on…

We have learned so much from the true context of these verses but we still need to know just “WHO” actually became king? Then let’s find out just who this person is. This person will have to fulfill several things to qualify as heir apparent to the prophecies of Isaiah 9:6 and Jeremiah 23:6 such as:

1. He must be a Descendant of David.

2. He must be a Righteous person.

3. He must be born during the time of the Assyrian Captivity.

4. Assyria must be defeated during this King’s reign & life time.

5. Judah & Israel must safely return home from their captives.

6. Judah & Israel will remain safe during this King’s life span.

7. He must be heralded by the people with great names attributes and accolades for his accomplishments.

8. He must acknowledge the fact that Isaiah is prophesying specifically about Him.

In the next chapter we will reveal the identity of the child king of Isaiah 9…

FULFILLMENT OF THE PROPHETIC CHILD OF ISAIAH Chapter 9

As we now continue in this chapter, we will search the scriptures to find out which child fulfilled the prophecies of Isaiah 9:6 and Jeremiah 23:6. As we said earlier whoever this person is, he will have to fulfill several distinctive requirements to qualify as an heir apparent to these prophecies such as:

1. He must be a Descendant of David.

2. He must be a Righteous person.

3. He must be born during the time of the Assyrian Captivity.

4. Assyria must be defeated during this King’s reign & life time.

5. Judah & Israel must safely return home from their captives.

6. Judah & Israel will remain safe during this King’s life span.

7. He must be heralded by the people with great names attributes and accolades for his accomplishments.

8. He must acknowledge the fact that Isaiah is prophesying specifically about Him.

Christians tell us that these prophecies are about Jesus.However, the Jews and Muslims proclaim this historical prophecy was about the reign of King Hezekiah.So who is right? Well let’s take each attribute and search the bible for the true king that has all of these qualities. This is the only way to see which religion is telling us the truth.

1. He must be a Descendant of David.

a) “Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that HEZEKIAH son of AHAZ king of Judah began to reign. Twenty and five years old when he began to reign: and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And he did ALL that which was right in the sight of the Lord,according to all that (DAVID) HIS FATHER did.” 2ND KI.18:1, 2

2. He must be a Righteous person.

a) And he did ALL that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that (DAVID) HIS FATHER did.” 2ND Kings 18:2

b) And thus did HEZEKIAH throughout all Judah and wrought that which was “GOOD” and “RIGHT” and “TRUTH” before the Lord “HIS GOD.” 2nd CHRONICLES 31:20, 21

3. He must be born during the time of the Assyrian Captivity.

a) 13. Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah,and took them. 2ND Kings 18:13

b) Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, that Sen-nach’-er-ibking of ASSYRIA came up against all the defenced cities of JUDAH and took them.” Isaiah36:1

Wow!

Even ISAIAH,the original writer of the prophetic verses 6 & 7 of Isaiah chapter 9, has given us the actual fulfillment of his original prophetic verses during his OWN lifetime as well.

Isaiah says after the Assyrians invaded the cities of Judah, the prophetic king did something extraordinary: He decided to pray to his God for the destruction of his enemies Assyria!

• 15. And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying… 20. Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord, even thou only. Isaiah 37:15 &20

So this king knows the power of prayer! He prays for the destruction of the Assyrian king and his armies. Let’s move on:

4. Assyria must be defeated during this King’s reign and lifetime.

Prophetic scriptures:

I. Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem. ISAIAH 31:8-9

II. Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed tome against Sennacherib king of Assyria: Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. ISAIAH 37:7

Now Isaiah says that during this king’s reign, the Assyrian armies will be defeated and the rest of the Assyrian armies shall tremble in fear at the ensign of God which is the King of Judah. Isaiah also says that the King of Assyria also die but not during this battle. God is going to cause the Assyrian king to die in his own land.

Fulfillment Scriptures:

The Death of the Assyrian Army:

a) “Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and SMOTE in the camp of the ASSYRIANS a hundred and fourscore and five thousand; and when they arose early in the morning, behold,they were all dead corpses.” Isaiah 37:36-38: 2nd KINGS19:35-37: and 2nd Chronicles 32:20, 22

Isn’t it wonderful to know that God’s word never fails?! God’s prophecy was fulfilled by King Hezekiah and the other Old Testament books confirm this-same prophetic fulfillment as well:

The Death of the Assyrian King:

b) “So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.”

So far King Hezekiah has fulfilled all of Isaiah’s prophecies perfectly don’t you agree? Let’s continue…

5. Judah and Israel must safely return home from their captives.

a) Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin.

Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities. 2. And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service… 2nd Chronicles31:1, 2 KJV

b) “And for this cause HEZEKIAH the king and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven. “THUS” the Lord saved HEZEKIAH and the inhabitants of JERUSALEM from the hand of Sennacherib the king of ASSYRIA, and from the hand of ALL OTHER,and guided them on every side.” 2nd CHRONICLES 32:20&22

So during King Hezekiah’s reign on David’s throne, the prophecy of Isaiah chapter 9:6 were accomplished and/or fulfilled. Israel did return home to Jerusalem and their other provinces.

6. Judah and Israel will remain safe during the king’s lifetime.

a) 20 And the LORD HEARKENED to HEZEKIAH, and HEALED the people.” 2nd CHRON. 30:10-13, 20

• b) “And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, REJOICED. So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the SON of DAVID king of Israel there was NOT THE LIKE in Jerusalem. 2nd CHRONICLES 30:25-27

Wow! Israel is now safe under the rule of King Hezekiah.

The bible even goes as far as saying that this miraculous event was:

I. Pre-told by the Prophet Isaiah.

II. It happened “suddenly,”

III. All of Israel and Judah rejoiced because of the victorious human king.

IV. Since the reign of Solomon no other human king had performed such a miracle in Jerusalem.

7. He must be worshiped and celebrated by the people with adoration gifts and great name attributes for his accomplishments and accolades.

a) “He trusted in the Lord God of Israel: so that AFTER HIM was None like HIM among all the kings of Judah nor ANY that were Before HIM for he clave to the Lord, and departed NOT from following him but KEPT his commandments which the LORD commanded Moses And the Lord was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not..” 2ndKINGS 18:5, 6, 7.

b) “And thus did HEZEKIAH throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was “GOOD” and “RIGHT” and “TRUTH” before the LORD HIS GOD. And in every work that (HE) began in the service of the House of God, and in the LAW, and in the COMMANDMENTS, to seek HIS GOD, he did it with all his heart, and“PROSPERED.” 2nd CHRONICLES31:20, 21

c) 23. And many brought gifts unto the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king

of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.

So here we have the proof in writing that King Hezekiah is the one who fulfilled the prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah. Now we have one more criteria to answer:

8. He must acknowledge the fact that Isaiah is prophesying specifically about him.

a) “Now the rest of the acts of HEZEKIAH and HIS GOODNESS,behold, they are WRITTEN in the VISION of “ISAIAH” the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the BOOK of the KINGS of JUDAH and ISRAEL.” 2ND CHRONICLES 32:32

b) “Then said HEZEKIAH unto ISAIAH, Good is the WORD of the Lord which THOU hast SPOKEN, and HE SAID, is it not GOOD, if(PEACE) and (TRUTH) be in MY DAYS.” 2nd KINGS 20:19

Here we have two different writers who claim the vision or “prophecies”of Isaiah are about King Hezekiah! Is that true? What does Isaiah have to say about such claims?

c) “Then said HEZEKIAH to ISAIAH, Good is the WORD of the Lord“THOU” has spoken He said moreover,for there shall be(PEACE) and (TRUTH) in MY DAYS” ISAIAH 39:8

Wow! That was the nail in the proverbial coffin don’t you think? What vision could they possibly be talking about hmm?

The book of Isaiah says the other writers were correct when they proclaim the prophecies in Isaiah are about their King Hezekiah.Notice how Hezekiah tells Isaiah that the words of YHWH are true which Isaiah has prophesied. Hezekiah then repeats the words of the prophecy which says:There shall be “PEACE” and “TRUTH” in “MY DAYS.” Now what prophecy do you think that could be?

• “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).” Isaiah 9:6 KJV
• “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.” Isaiah 9:7 KJV

PEACE& JUSTICE shall last throughout all of His “HIS DAYS.” Amazing isn’t it? Now ask yourself this question:

“WHY didn’t Isaiah correct King Hezekiah if the prophecies were NOT about him?”

Notice how Isaiah never corrected Hezekiah about his Chapter 9:6 prophecy?

As you can see they both tell us that our interpretations have been false all along.

Hezekiah cannot make it clearer to us that the Prophecies that Isaiah spoke in Chapter 9 were about HIM!

My Brothers and Sisters “HEZEKIAH”also knew that the Prophecies from God through the Prophets were all written about him and his reign.

We no longer have to guess who Isaiah speaks about. Isaiah’s own writings tell us point blank that it is King Hezekiah. How can you argue with the very writer of the gospel?

The false writers of the New Testament did not want you to study the Old Testament and learn the truth. The Greco-Roman false writers of Luke and Matthew invented a bloodline for Jesus just to fool the masses.

There is no other explanation for this heresy…

I have one more point to give you before we end this chapter.

As concerning the original prophecy of Isaiah:

• “For unto us, a “CHILD” is born, unto us “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 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 forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”Isaiah 9:6 & 7KJV

Now Isaiah is doing the speaking in this verse as we can see.

According to Isaiah a child has just been birthed by someone within the group of captives that he is speaking to.

Now did Isaiah give us clues to this child? WHO is this son that God has given to this captive people?

We don’t have to guess because Isaiah tells us in a prophecy clearly not only who the father of the son is but also the era the child will actually sit on the throne:

• “This is the message that came to (ME) the year KING AHAZ died, don’t rejoice, Philistines, that the “KING” that smote you is dead. That“ROD” is broken, yes, but “HIS SON” will be a “GREATER” scourge to you than his father “EVER WAS.” From the snake “WILL BE BORN”an adder, a fiery serpent to destroy you.” ISAIAH 14:28-29

There is not one person with reasonable intelligence on the planet who can twist this scripture into a Jesus prophecy. Isaiah just said this prophecy came to him:

1. The year King Ahaz died so this is during Isaiah’s own lifetime.
2. Isaiah is warning the Philistines i.e. the ASSYRIANS not to rejoice just because the King Ahaz is dead. Which means this prophecy will be fulfilled during the Assyrian dynasty.
3. Isaiah warns the Assyrians saying: The Old “ROD” is dead but King Ahaz’own son the prophesied “ROD” from Ahaz, and Jesse will be a greater King than all of them.”
4. From the Snake i.e. Ahaz, a fiery serpent will destroy Assyria.

Now who is Ahaz’ son that took his place after his death?

You are correct if you said King Hezekiah.

The Philistines/Assyrians were not a threat during Jesus’lifetime!

So here once again Jesus is eliminated from the prophetic equation.

Lastly, Isaiah speaks directly to the Philistines and other enemies of that era and says this new King, the SON of Ahaz and Jesse,will destroy them.

As you can see, all of the prophecies concerning the King from the seed of Jesse and David all came true in the bible long before the enemies of Israel could twist the words and write a new false gospel and attempt to deceive us.

Do you remember all the name attributes associated with the king in Isaiah chapter 9:6? Isaiah continues to tell us the attributes of the king again. He tells us that the king has:

THE SPIRIT OF:

1. WISDOM

2. UNDERSTANDING

3. COUNSEL

4. MIGHT

5. KNOWLEDGE

Isn’t Isaiah now repeating chapter 9 again?

This man is not a deity at all as we can see.

Isaiah says the Spirit of the Almighty God will be with this King or on this King or however you decide to say it. God will give this King:

Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Might, and Knowledge

which my Brothers and Sisters are 5 attributes granted by God just as Isaiah said earlier in chapter 9:6&7!

Notice in the next two verses how they eliminate our chances of them speaking prophetically about Jesus as well:

• “And shall make quick understanding in the fear of the Lord and he shall not (JUDGE) after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with RIGHTEOUSNESS shall he judge the poor and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the EARTH with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.” ISAIAH 11:3-4

Clearly this man or King will show the world his power by trusting in God’s word. As ruler, he will not rule with his eyes and ears but with righteousness. He will not rely on might of his military armies, but it will be with his tongue and with his outcries to the Lord for help that he will slay the wicked men. Amen!

There are so many things said in the bible about King Hezekiah.Because of time restraints I’ve decided to only list the prophecies that were written exclusively about King Hezekiah.

You should read these verses in context on your own to discover what has been hidden for so long by the Catholic Church. This is just for your enjoyment. The Hezekiah prophecies are:

a. Isaiah 9:6 d. Jeremiah 23:5, 6

b. Isaiah 10:34 e. 2nd Chronicles 32:32

c. Isaiah 11:1-4 f. 2nd Kings 18:1, 2.

SUMMARY:

There is a song that I used to hear as a child on a children’s television show. The lyrics were:

“One of these things is not like the other, one of these things are not the same?”

I apply these lyrics to the way theologians want us to view the prophecies in the Old Testament. Now follow me for a second.

Which thing does NOT belong?

a.) Milk. B.) Potato. C.) Eggs. D.) Racecar?

If you said answer “D” you are correct.

Why? Because we can see that the other three are foods and you do not eat race cars.

So use that same reasoning when you read Isaiah Chapters 52-54.The people are slaves and are seeking a Savior not to die for their sins but to bring them out of bondage. Knowing the context the book of Isaiah is written in you would have to ask:

1. If the people have nothing to eat or drink and are slaves in a land that is not their own why wouldn’t God tell them about a Messiah that would bring them out of Assyria now? That is asinine!

1. Since the people are in so much suffering, would having knowledge about 700+ years in the future do them any good? Why would Isaiah now give them a prophecy of 700 years in the future? Why would they CARE?

Lastly, to recap what we have now learned. The true prophetic interpretation of Isaiah 9:6 is the rise of King Hezekiah to power and not about Jesus! The prophecy tells us that Hezekiah unlike Israel and Judah will trust in the Lord to deliver him and his people from Assyria.

The scriptures proclaim that he will rule his kingdom with peace and justice.

He shall reign all of his days with peace in his kingdom. This is not Jesus because Jesus was not born.

The BOOK of Isaiah not only tells of things to come, but we all have seen that the prophecies are also fulfilled in Isaiah’s writings along with the writings of the other books of the Old Testament as well. I love it when the true Gospel writers’ said concerning David’s son King Hezekiah:

• “He trusted in the Lord God of Israel: so that AFTER HIM was NONE like HIM among all the kings of JUDAH, NOR any that were BEFORE HIM.” 2nd KINGS 18:5, 6

I love it! The Old Testament Gospel writers proclaim that there was no king greater than Hezekiah and they also proclaim that there be no king in Judah like him either and that includes Jesus!

This one is easy - you often refer to G-d as abba, and ergo that's what it's saying here. Whoever is the "chosen one" G-d will certainly be to such person like a abba.

I wont spend too much time on this one - we assume David wrote Psalms. Okay so it's talking to David.

Again - any father reference is not a proof - it's just saying the intense relationship of G-d as father to us as His children.

Because the verse ends with the questions, 'What is his name and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?'then Christians will tell you that this is a reference to Jesus, the son of Gd, who, because he was Gd, can do all the things listed in these verses. Of course, this interpretation can only be valid for those who assume that Jesus was Gd.

This is not the Jewish interpretation of these verses. These verses are asking rhetorical questions. The Psalmist knows that no one, other than Gd, can 'gather the wind in his fists, bound the waters in a garment, or establish all the ends of the earth.' These verses are saying that there is no one other than Gd who can do these things, by asking 'who can do these things' in a rhetorical way. The Bible is clear, only Gd controls nature, and only Gd was the author of Creation. Since the answer is that no human can do it, then there is no name of any human who can do it, and since there is no one who can do it, there is no son of this non-existent person, either.

The text then asks what is the name of the son of Gd, since it is only Gd who controls and creates nature. The Bible is clear, there are others besides the Christian Jesus who is called the first born son of Gd. One example is the Jewish people.

In the following verses, Gd is telling Moses what to tell Pharaoh. And here, Gd explicitly states that the People of Israel, the Jews, are Gd's firstborn son:

And the Etrnl said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Etrnl, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. [Exodus 4:21-23]

As I wrote in the beginning, there are other interpretations that are equally valid. Perhaps the son of Gd that Proverbs 30:4 is speaking of is King David, because we have the following biblical verses in Psalm 89 that say exactly that:

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. [Psalm 89:20]

Or, perhaps, Psalm 30:4 is referring to King Solomon, whom Gd also calls His son, in I Chronicles 22:9

Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days. He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. [I Chronicles 22:9]

So there are a few interpretations of this Proverb, however they do not require us to interpret the Bible in a way that is contrary to the Bible, like believing that Gd had a human son, just as Zeus had human sons.

Of course whoever is the Messiah will do this. So you report Jesus did this. We have 200 rabbis that did this. Many people from different faiths and traditions have been healers. It alone is not a proof.

Yes yes! I hope Messiah comes soon to do this.

Amen!

I am pretty much not going to be a broken record on these. Absolutely no reference to Jesus.

Let me summarize AND add some points - the claim of being from Bethlehem we addressed above. The claim of virgin birth we addressed above. There are a couple of other claims:

3) Deuteronomy 18:18 says the Messiah is going to be like Moses in terms of Prophetic ability. But John 1:45 and Acts 3:22 take this out of context and say he can override Moses. That's a HUGE no no for us. See Deuteronomy 34:10 which clearly says NONE will be like Moses. See Exodus 19:9 - the people will believe YOU (moses) forever. There is actually no proof that Jesus was a prophet at all. For Deuteronomy 18:22 says a sign of a true prophet is ONLY when his prophecies come true exactly. See John 9:29.

4) That the Messiah will die via crucifixion - we addressed this above. Complete mistranslation of Psalm 22:17.

5) That he died for our sins. This is based on the suffering servant passages of Isaiah 53:11. About these verses not speaking about Jesus we addressed above. But more importantly - Deuteronomy 24:16 says - "the fathers shall not die for the children...every man shall die for his own sin."
