"Prepare the way! The King Messiah comes... may
the mountains abase themselves, may the valleys be filled, may the cedars
incline to render him homage. Prostrate yourselves all of you before the
Messiah King, and bend your knees before him who is seated at the right hand of
the Holy One." [Zohar I. 4b]
"I will raise up for them a prophet like you
(Moses), from among their own people. I will put My words in his mouth and he
will speak to them all that I command him. And if anybody fails to heed the
words he speaks in My name, I Myself will call him to account." [Tanakh,
D'varim (Deut.) 18:18-19]
"Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and
your holy city, to put an end to transgression, to make an end of sin, to atone
for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to confirm the visions and
prophets, and to anoint the Most Holy Place… After sixty-two weeks, the Messiah
(Mashiach) will be cut off and have nothing. The people of a coming prince will
destroy the city (Jerusalem) and the Sanctuary (Temple)." [Tanakh, Dani'el
(Daniel) 9:24-26]
"Who has believed what we have heard? To whom is
the arm of Adonai revealed? For before Him he grew up like a young plant, like
a root out of dry ground. He had no form or beauty. We saw him, but his
appearance did not attract us. He was despised and shunned by men, a man of
pains and familiar with illness; like one from whom we would hide our faces. He
was despised and we had no regard for him. In truth, it was our infirmities he
bore, and our pains that he suffered; yet we regarded him as punished and
afflicted by G~d. He was wounded because of our sins and crushed because of our
iniquities. The chastisement he bore made us whole, and through his wounds we
are healed. We all like sheep went astray; we turned, each one, to his own way.
Yet Adonai laid on him the guilt of all of us… After this ordeal, he will see
satisfaction. By his knowledge my righteous servant makes many righteous; it is
for their sins that he suffers. Therefore I will give him a share with the
mighty; for he exposed himself to death and was numbered among the sinners. For
he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."
[Tanakh, Yesha'yahu (Isaiah) 53]
"I may remark then, that our Rabbis with one
voice accept and affirm the opinion that the prophet is speaking of the King
Messiah, and we ourselves shall adhere to the same view." [Rabbi Mosheh
El-Sheikh regarding Yesha'yahu 53 in the Tanakh]
"Now there was about this time, Yeshua (Eaysoos
in Greek), a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of
wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He
drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was
Mashiach (Christos in Greek); and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the
principal men among us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at
the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third
day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful
things concerning him; and the tribe of "Christians" (followers of Messiah),
so named from him, are not extinct at this day." [Antiquities of the Jews,
book 18, chapter 3, paragraph 3; Yosef ben Mattityahu a.k.a Josephus]
"Our Rabbis taught: during the last forty years
before the destruction of the Temple, the lot for the Lord (on Yom Kippur) did
not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-colored strap become white
(on the neck of the scapegoat); nor did the western-most light shine; and the
doors of the Hekal (Temple) would open by themselves." [Babylonian Talmud,
Yoma, 39b]
"Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has
cupped the wind in the palms of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his
cloak? Who established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is
his son's name? Surely you know!" [Tanakh, Mishlei (Proverbs) 30:4]
