Yeshua, ben Elohim

Yeshua has been accepted by only a small number of Jews as the Messiah. Yet He came to them, as was promised by God. Why? We cannot explain why, for: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. (Isaiah 55:8 KJV)

There are many resources listing the scriptures prophesying the Messiah. They are complemented by the corresponding scriptures attesting to fulfillment. The greatest testimony is His life and His recorded words.

John states it boldly at the beginning of his gospel: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:1-3 KJV)

Peter testified to the same: He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. (Matthew 16:15-16 KJV)

Thomas, without touch His hands nor side, proclaimed without doubt: And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. (John 20:28 KJV)

It took Paul longer. As he approached Damascus, with written authority to prosecute those who believed in Jesus, he was questioned: And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. (Acts 9:5-6 KJV)

They came to know He who wrote: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. (Isaiah 49:6b KJV)

Throughout the gospels, those who followed Him were born as He was – a Jew. Thus the salvation unto the end of the earth came as the Lord promised Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. (Genesis 22:18 KJV)

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: (Deuteronomy 6:4 KJV) As a follower of Jesus Christ, I believe this with all my heart. I believe the one here (echod) is that of Exodus 2:24. That the One has shown Himself in three ways, but by no means has He changed His will for mankind.

As He promised Abraham and confirmed to Jacob: And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. (Genesis 28:14 KJV)

So He fulfilled: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:17 KJV)
