Further Topics Answers to Missionary Writing Proofs Daniel Hashem took the form of a man when He saved the three men in the furnace. Proof: Daniel 3:23-27 Nebuchadnezzar refers to the appearance of the fourth as being like an angel which is a reference back to II Kings 19:35. II Kings 19:35: And it came to pass on that night that an angel of the Lord went out and slew one hundred eighty-five thousand of the camp of Assyria. And they arose in the morning, and behold they were all dead corpses. Nebuchadnezzar knows who saved the three from the fire - it was an angel and not Hashem in physical form. Daniel 3:28: Nebuchadnezzar cried out and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, Who sent His angel and rescued His servants, who trusted Him, deviated from the command of the king, and risked their lives in order not to worship or prostrate themselves to any god except to their God. After 69 weeks the messiah will come and the 70th week will occur with Jesus' "second coming". Proof: Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks [of years] have been decreed upon your people and upon the city of your Sanctuary... A week is a reference to a seven-year period. Leviticus 25:8: And you shall count for yourself seven sabbatical years, seven years seven times. And the days of these seven sabbatical years shall amount to forty nine years for you. ...to terminate the transgression and to end sin, and to expiate iniquity, and to bring eternal righteousness,... During the 490 years, the Jews could have made teshuvah, repented and turned back to Hashem. If they had repented, the Messianic Age would have started. ...and to seal up vision and prophet,... Prophecy ended with Malachi during this 490-year period. ...and to anoint the Holy of Holies. This references the building of the Second Temple. Daniel 9:25: And you shall know and understand that from the emergence of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until the anointed king [shall be] seven weeks, and [in] sixty-two weeks it will return and be built street and moat, but in troubled times. And you shall know and understand that from the emergence of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until the anointed king [shall be] seven weeks,... Seven weeks of years passed after the destruction of the First Temple and the anointed of Hashem was revealed. The prophecy of Cyrus comes from Isaiah. Isaiah 45:1, 13: (1) So said the Lord to His anointed one, to Cyrus, whose right hand I held, to flatten nations before him, and the loins of kings I will loosen, to open portals before him, and gates shall not be closed. (13) I aroused him with righteousness, and all his ways I will straighten out. He shall build My city and free My exiles, neither for a price nor for a bribe," said the Lord of Hosts. This prophecy was fulfilled in Ezra 1:1-3. (1) And in the first year of Cyrus, the king of Persia, at the completion of the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord aroused the Spirit of Cyrus, the king of Persia, and he issued a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also in writing, saying: (2) "So said Cyrus, the king of Persia, 'All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of the heavens delivered to me, and He commanded me to build Him a House in Jerusalem, which is in Judea. (3) Who is among you of all His people, may his God be with him, and he may ascend to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and let him build the House of the Lord, God of Israel; He is the God Who is in Jerusalem.' ...and [in] sixty-two weeks it will return and be built street and moat, but in troubled times. This refers to Jerusalem having endured this tumultuous time. Daniel 9:26: And after the sixty-two weeks, the anointed one will be cut off, and he will be no more, and the people of the coming monarch will destroy the city and the Sanctuary, and his end will come about by inundation, and until the end of the war, it will be cut off into desolation. And after the sixty-two weeks, the anointed one will be cut off, and he will be no more,... This anointed one is referring to King Agrippa II. In 70 CE his rule came to an end suddenly with the siege and destruction of Jerusalem and the exile of the people. ...and the people of the coming monarch will destroy the city and the Sanctuary,... The prince referenced here is Vespasian who led the Roman army that eventually destroyed the Second Temple. ...and his end will come about by inundation, and until the end of the war, it will be cut off into desolation. Jerusalem’s end came as a flood Daniel 9:27: And he will strengthen a covenant for the princes for one week, and half the week he will abolish sacrifice and meal-offering, and on high, among abominations, will be the dumb one, and until destruction and extermination befall the dumb one. And he will strengthen a covenant for the princes for one week, and half the week he will abolish sacrifice and meal-offering,... Vespasian made a peace agreement in the seventieth week which concluded the entire time period spoken of in verse 24. However, after three-and-one-half years (first half week) the Romans violated this agreement and abolished the sacrifices. Psalms Jesus was Hashem's son. Prophecy: Psalm 2:7 Proof: Matthew 3:17 This verse is a reference to David. This Psalm is parallel to Psalm 89. In Psalm 89 - beginning in verse 27 - it shows that David will call Hashem "my Father" and David is referred to as a firstborn of Hashem. Psalm 89:27-30: (27) He will call to Me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.' (28) I, too, shall make him a firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. (29) I will forever keep My kindness for him, and My covenant will remain true to him. (30) And I shall make his seed endure forever, and his throne as the days of the heavens. Jesus cried out on the cross. Prophecy: Psalm 22:2 Proof: Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34 This Psalm is about David. David describes his own pain, anguish, and longing during those times when he was a fugitive from his enemies and he is grieved that Hashem is not always listening to him. David asks why Hashem is “far from my salvation” but Jesus never expected to be saved so why would this verse refer to Jesus? Prophetically, this entire verse is regarding Israel’s plight during its long exile and its plea for a speedy deliverance. There is no consensus on Jesus' last words. How can this "prophecy" be fulfilled if there is no agreement that Jesus even made this statement? Matthew 27:46, 50: (46) And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (50) And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Mark 15:34, 37: (34) And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (37) And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last. Luke 23:46: And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, 'into Your hands I commit My spirit.' " Having said this, He breathed His last. John 19:30: So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. Jesus was mocked. Prophecy: Psalm 22:7-8 Proof: Matthew 27:41-44; Mark 15:29-32; Luke 23:35-36,39 This Psalm is about David. David describes his own pain, anguish, and longing during those times when he was a fugitive from his enemies and he is grieved that Hashem is not always listening to him. David asks why Hashem is “far from my salvation” but Jesus never expected to be saved so why would this verse refer to Jesus? Prophetically, this entire verse is regarding Israel’s plight during its long exile and its plea for a speedy deliverance. Jesus was crucified. Prophecy: Psalm 22:17 Proof: Matthew 27:35; Mark 15:25; Luke 23:33; John 19:17-18 This Psalm is about David. David describes his own pain, anguish, and longing during those times when he was a fugitive from his enemies and he is grieved that Hashem is not always listening to him. David asks why Hashem is “far from my salvation” but Jesus never expected to be saved so why would this verse refer to Jesus? Prophetically, this entire verse is regarding Israel’s plight during its long exile and its plea for a speedy deliverance. The Christian scriptures use a non-existent Hebrew word. Missionaries have made up a new Hebrew word (one that never has existed). They say that korai means pierced which leads them to mistranslate the passage. The word ka’ari (כָּאֲרִי) means like a lion or as a lion. This same word is used (and correctly translated in the Christian scriptures) in: Numbers 23:24: Look, a people rises like a lioness, And lifts itself up like a lion (כַּאֲרִי); It shall not lie down until it devours the prey, And drinks the blood of the slain." Numbers 24:9: 'He bows down, he lies down as a lion; And as a lion (כַּאֲרִי), who shall rouse him?' "Blessed [is] he who blesses you, And cursed [is] he who curses you." (NKJV) Isaiah 38:13: I have considered until morning-- Like a lion (כַּאֲרִי), So He breaks all my bones; From day until night You make an end of me. (NKJV) Ezekiel 22:25: The conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion (כַּאֲרִי) tearing the prey; they have devoured people; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst. (NKJV) Jesus' garments were taken and distributed by lots. Prophecy: Psalm 22:19 Proof: Matthew 27:35; Mark 15:24; Luke 23:34; John 19:23-24 This Psalm is about David. David describes his own pain, anguish, and longing during those times when he was a fugitive from his enemies and he is grieved that Hashem is not always listening to him. David asks why Hashem is “far from my salvation” but Jesus never expected to be saved so why would this verse refer to Jesus? Prophetically, this entire verse is regarding Israel’s plight during its long exile and its plea for a speedy deliverance. The previous verse (Psalms 22:18: I tell about all my bones. They look and gloat over me.) shows that the subject of this Psalm is so skinny that his bones could be counted. David is talking about himself as a metaphorical reference to the desire of his enemies to take away his throne and claim it as their own. Jesus did not have his bones broken on the cross. Prophecy: Psalm 34:21 Proof: John 19:32-33 This verse is referring to generic righteous people. The preceding verse shows that the person referred to in verse 21 is a generic righteous person – not a specific person. Psalms 34:20: Many evils befall the righteous, but the Lord saves him from them all. Jesus had false witnesses against him. Prophecy: Psalm 35:11 Proof: Mark 14:57 This verse refers to David. David is speaking about false accusations that were hurled at him by his enemies. If you read the entire chapter, it is evident that this is referring to David’s friends who have turned into enemies. Jesus' family, disciples, and friends stood far away. Prophecy: Psalm 38:12 Proof: Matthew 27:55; Mark 15:40; Luke 23:49 There is no consensus as to where Jesus' acquaintances stood. Matthew, Mark, and Luke all state that Jesus' acquaintances stood far off yet this is not what John says. John 19:25: Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. This verse refers to David. In this verse David is referring to those who act like his friends but stand aloof from him when he is afflicted. He is also referring to people who have shown to be close to him who stand at a distance. David is making the statement that suffering is chastisement for sin and part of that suffering is having close ones stand at a distance. If this verse refers to Jesus then the entire chapter must refer to him. Psalm 38:5: For my iniquities passed over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. Psalm 38:19: For I relate my iniquity; I worry about my sin. Missionaries claim that Jesus was sinless so he cannot be the object of this verse or chapter. Jesus was betrayed by a friend. Prophecy: Psalm 41:10 Proof: Matthew 26:21-23; Mark 14:18-20; Luke 22:21-22; John 13:21,26 This verse - and chapter - refer to David. If one reads the entire Psalm, it is very clear that David is speaking about a close associate who was trying to trip up David. Verse 12 shows that David is successful and the plot is unsuccessful. This is the opposite of the Judas plot which was successful. Psalm 41:12: With this I shall know that You desired me, when my enemy does not shout joyfully over me. If this verse refers to Jesus then the entire chapter must refer to him. Psalm 41:5: I said, "O Lord, be gracious to me; heal my soul because I have sinned against You." Missionaries claim that Jesus was sinless so he cannot be the object of this verse or chapter. Jesus was offered gall and vinegar during his crucifixion. Prophecy: Psalm 69:22 Proof: Matthew 27:34; Mark 15:23 There is no consensus as to what Jesus drank during the crucifixion. There is not one single verse that describes Jesus being offered gall mixed with vinegar. The closest in sour wine mixed with gall in Matthew 27. Matthew records sour wine mingled with gall and sour wine. (46) And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (47) Some of those who stood there, when they heard [that], said, "This Man is calling for Elijah!" (48) Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled [it] with sour wine and put [it] on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink. Mark records wine mingled with myrrh and sour wine. (34) And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (35) Some of those who stood by, when they heard [that], said, "Look, He is calling for Elijah!" (36) Then someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put [it] on a reed, and offered [it] to Him to drink, saying, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down." Luke records sour wine. John records sour wine. This verse is about David. David describes his own pain, anguish, and longing during those times when he was a fugitive from his enemies. He is metaphorically stating that his enemies were unusually cruel to him – “putting salt in his wounds”. Prophetically, this entire verse is regarding Israel’s plight during its long exile and its plea for a speedy deliverance. If this verse refers to Jesus then the entire chapter must refer to him. Psalm 69:6: O God, You know my folly, and my acts of guilt are not concealed from You. Missionaries claim that Jesus was sinless so he cannot be the object of this verse or chapter. Jesus sat at Hashem's right side. Prophecy: Psalm 110:1 Proof: Matthew 22:44; Mark 12:36; Mark 16:19; Luke 20:42-43; Acts 2:34-35; Hebrews 1:13 This verse is about David. Notice that in the original Hebrew the initial verse contains “Of David a psalm” indicating that this psalm was written about David. This scripture has been misinterpreted based upon a mistranslated scripture. The original Hebrew says: The word of the L-rd to my master while the Christian translation says: The L-rd says to my L-rd. Psalm 110:1: A Psalm of David. The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool." (NKJV) The Christian translation is also mistranslated because the original Hebrew says "Wait for My right hand" and not "Sit at My right hand." The remainder of the chapter speaks of David's rule and what Hashem has done for him in defeating his enemies. None of this ever happened to Jesus. Jesus was the stone that was rejected by his people and he became the cornerstone for a new religion. Prophecy: Psalm 118:22 Proof: Matthew 21:42; I Peter 2:7 This verse is about David. This verse is metaphorically about David being rejected by his father and brothers when Samuel came to Jesse's home to anoint one of his sons as the next king of Israel. This verse can also be about the Children of Israel. Prophetically, this verse can refer to the Children of Israel who were despised and rejected by the Nations but those same Nations will come to realize that the Children of Israel is the cornerstone. Genesis 49:24: But his bow was strongly established, and his arms were gilded from the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob; from there he sustained the rock of Israel,... There is a call for thanksgiving and prayer in the remaining part of the chapter. There is no call for thanksgiving and prayer after the rejection of Jesus. Psalm 118: 24-29: (24) This is the day that the Lord made; we shall exult and rejoice thereon. (25) Please, O Lord, save now! Please, O Lord, make prosperous now! (26) Blessed be he who has come in the name of the Lord; we have blessed you in the name of the Lord. (27) The Lord is God, and He gave us light. Bind the sacrifice with ropes until [it is brought to] the corners of the altar. (28) You are my God and I shall thank You; the God of my father, and I shall exalt You. (29) Give thanks to the Lord because He is good, for His kindness is eternal. |
