If Not Yeshua - Then Who?
Who was born in Beit Lechem? (Micah 5:2)
Who is from the Tribe of Judah and the Line of David? (Jeremiah 23:5)
Who was pierced for our transgressions (Isaiah 53, Pslam 22:16)
Who was born from a virgin? (Isaiah 7:14)
Who has come before 70 A.D.? (Daniel 9)
These are just a small sample of the dozens of things that help identify the Messiah. Can you honestly think of anyone in all history who could be described by just these few traits?
Many people like to say, "Where is it written that Yeshua is the Messiah? Where does it say His name?" Well, the T'NAKH does not identify the Messiah by any single name. In fact, a name would not be a good identifier because there are many people with the same name, and you can imagine how many people would have the same name if their parents knew that the messiah had to have a certain name, Oy!. The best means of identification is by traits and descriptions, especially those that a person has no control over, which narrow the possibilities to one person in all history.
