Ezekiel 43:1-9 "Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing toward the east; 2 and behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the east. And His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory. 3 And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the vision which I saw when He came to destroy the city. And the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face. 4 And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the east. 5 And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.6 Then I heard one speaking to me from the house, while a man was standing beside me. 7 He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their harlotry and by the corpses of their kings when they die, 8 by setting their threshold by My threshold and their door post beside My door post, with only the wall between Me and them. And they have defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have committed. So I have consumed them in My anger. 9 Now let them put away their harlotry and the corpses of their kings far from Me; and I will dwell among them forever."

@dacroon The Temple Mount is not a political prop. It is the wounded summit of our covenant, the sacred heart of Jewish memory, and the place toward which my people have turned their tears for nearly two thousand years. Yes, I believe the Torah. That is precisely why I will not confuse holy longing with reckless fury. In Jewish tradition, the Temple is restored with the coming of Mashiach, when exile bends toward redemption, when Israel is gathered, and when the world is summoned back beneath the sovereignty of HaShem. A Jew may mourn the Temple, yearn for its rebuilding, and refuse to surrender its memory. But forcing redemption by human rage is not faith. It is fire without wisdom. The Mount has never left us. We have carried it in prayer, in grief, in exile, and in covenant. And when HaShem appoints the hour, no empire, no idol, and no foreign stone will be able to silence what belongs to the God of Israel. Moshe David The Roar of Judah Foundation

Deu 6:14 "Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;"

The Judaic King lineage traversed through both Joseph (Matthew 1:1-17) and Mary (Luke 3:23-38) with the intersection being Zerubbabel. Mary had three other sons conceived through Joseph whose names were James, Joseph and Judas. None of these sons claimed to be a king. Only Jesus the Son of Mary born of the Holy Spirit claimed to be a king. John 18:33-37 Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" 34 Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?" 35 Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?" 36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." 37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." Isaiah foreshadowed the virgin birth of Immanuel (see vs 7:14) Isaiah 7:10-16 "Then the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 11 "Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God; make it deep as Sheol or high as heaven." 12 But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord!" 13 Then he said, "Listen now, O house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God as well? 14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel. 15 He will eat curds and honey at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good. 16 For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken." The gospel of Matthew confirms that the birth of Jesus fulfilled Isaiah 7:14 Matthew 1:18-25 "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. 20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." 22 Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: 23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which translated means, "God with us." 24 And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, 25 but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus." The prophet Daniel was given this prophecy concerning Messiah Jesus through the Angel Gabriel. Daniel 9:24-25 "Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place. 25 So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress. This same angel Gabriel appeared to both Zecharias a Levite priest and Mary of the tribe of Judah. Luke 1:26-38 "Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth, 27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you." 29 But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was. 30 The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; 33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end." 34 Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" 35 The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God. 36 And behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God." 38 And Mary said, "Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her." The prophet Daniel also predicted that Messiah would be cut off and so the gospels describe how this happened when Christ was crucified in Jerusalem on Passover in the year AD 30. Daniel 9:26 "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined." Please note that the Daniel 9:26 and 9:27 paired prophecy has 3 parts and only 2 have been completed. The third part will reach its fulfillment when the KING OF KINGS Jesus returns to the Mount of Olives, Jerusalem. Revelation 1:7 "Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen."

@dacroon The Kingly line only goes through human biological fathers. There are no ghosts in the kingly line to be Messiah Gen 49:10, Num 1:18, II Sam 7:12-16, I Chr 17:11-14, 22:9-10, 28:4-6; II Chr 13:5, Jer 23:5, 33:17, 22:30, 36:30, Psa 89:35-37.

Torah Says Don't Worship Anything New - Deu 13:6,7,8 If our fathers at Mt Sinai did not know it, then don't follow it. This means there is no room for progressive revelation.

The first coming of Israel's King - Matthew 1:1-17 "The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham: 2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. 3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram. 4 Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon. 5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse. 6 Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. 7 Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa. 8 Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah. 9 Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah. 10 Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the father of Josiah. 11 Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. 12 After the deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor. 14 Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud. 15 Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob. 16 Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations." The second coming of Israel's King - Revelaton 19:11-16 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. 13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 15 From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

@dacroon Jesus was not king.

The Old Covenant began in Exodus: Revelation 11:19 "And the temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple, and there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a great hailstorm." The New Covenant began with the only begotten Son of God: The woman is Israel. Revelation 12:1 "A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2 and she was with child; and she *cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth." Mary the wife of Joseph bore a Son named Jesus. He was proclaimed by the prophet John in the Judean wilderness. Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom of heaven for one year and then he was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead after three days. Revelation 12:5 "And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne." This is the account the Apostle Peter gave to the Jewish crowd in Jerusalem right after Jesus ascended into heaven. Acts 2:22-28 "Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know- this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. For David says of Him, 'I saw the Lord always in my presence; For He is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken. 'Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue exulted; Moreover my flesh also will live in hope; Because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, Nor allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. 28 'You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of gladness with Your presence.'" The prophet Daniel saw a vision of the same event centuries earlier concerning the only begotten Son of God - Daniel 7:13-14 "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. 14 "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed." Israel behold your King!

@dacroon Did you notice? The New Covenant in Jeremiah 31 Is With the house of Israel And the house of Judah, Torah Will Be In Our Heart, No One Will Teach Another to Know the Most High. It's not in the blood of anyone. It's a New Promise Torah will be in our heart. It's not a New Torah

Jesus is the only begotten Son of God which is described in Psalm 2. Psalm 2 Why are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 3 "Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!" 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them. 5 Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury, saying, 6 "But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain." 7 "I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. 8 'Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession. 9 'You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.'" 10 Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth. 11 Worship the Lord with reverence And rejoice with trembling. 12 Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him! The God of Israel acknowledged Jesus as his only begotten Son by his own voice in the presence of the prophet John who anointed him as the King of Israel. Matthew 3:13 - 17 Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?" 15 But Jesus answering said to him, "Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he *permitted Him. 16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, 17 and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." Jesus taught the Pharisee Nicodemus that he is the Son of God. John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. "

The problem with the doctrine of the Trinity is there is nothing remotely like it ANYWHERE in Tanakh(ot). There is no one else but the Most High Alone. Deu 4:35 "Unto thee it was shown, that thou mightiest know that YHWH, He is Elohim; there is none else beside Him."

The LORD send the prophet Nathan to rebuke King David. The LORD send the prophet John to prepare the way for King Jesus. This was confirmed by the prophet John, by God the Father, and by the Spirit of God. Matthew 3:16-17 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased."

If the Torah allows absolutely zero room for any new commands, applications, or administrative changes under any circumstances, how do you reconcile the fact that later Jewish prophets and kings did exactly that without it being counted as sin? For example, when King David permanently changed the tabernacle system into a fixed Temple and altered the ages and duties of the Levites in 1 Chronicles 23, was he adding to the Torah and sinning? When the Prophet Jeremiah announced that the Almighty would make a "New Covenant" that was explicitly "not like the covenant" made at Sinai, was Jeremiah sinning? Even the later Jewish sages established entirely new commandments, like lighting Chanukah candles or reading the Megillah on Purim, which are nowhere to be found in the written Torah of Moses. Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32 prohibit human beings from altering God's law based on their own whims, but they do not tie the hands of the Almighty Himself from issuing new directives through His authorized prophets. The Torah itself explicitly commands us in Deuteronomy 18 to listen to the ultimate Prophet like Moses, warning that God will require it of anyone who refuses to listen to the words that Prophet speaks in His name. If the Messiah is that authorized Prophet, his deeper applications of the law are not "sinful additions," but the authoritative instructions the Torah told us to expect.

I used to be involved in Facebook Bible study groups only to later find out that the mods were often SDA or JW. One can debate endlessly with false teachers and they never depart from their card deck of false teaching/false prophets. If the group admin considered the discussion was proceeding not to their liking I sometimes got banned from the group. I do like X in not allowing someone from eing kicked out of discussion platforms. I do think you have hit against a stone wall of pride with some who teach Replacement Theology. The problem is more entrenched if they have written books or taught on the subject. The reason is that if they concede to your points their past teaching suddenly becomes error prone and misleading. There is another profound teaching problem in the church regarding pretrib rapture errant teachers. When exposed with the light of scripture their thousands of books and sermons on the topic suddenly become useless and misleading They mistake books sales and revenue with success but are too proud to realize their profit motives have also become darkened. Alternative views were never heard from the pulpit, media airwaves, and other pay for interpretation schemes. Hence the acredited teachers almost always double down with other false teaching to bolster their egos and retain their status in the eyes of the flock. The forgot their is only one Rabbi and teacher whose name is Jesus. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

It is incredibly tricky to argue against Replacement Theology while keeping a calm mind. Even calling it "evil" creates a psychological backfire effect. When people are confronted with facts that contradict their deeply held worldview, their brains experience it as a physical threat. Instead of changing their minds, they dig in and repeat familiar phrases as a cognitive defense mechanism to protect their identity. Many people repeating these phrases are themselves victims of bad teaching. They don't wake up intending to be evil; they genuinely believe they are defending the "correct" traditional interpretation, completely trapped in a loop of circular reasoning. From a biblical standpoint, this kind of deception stems from spiritual blindness rather than conscious malice. When Jesus and the Apostles dealt with entrenched, misleading religious traditions, they exposed the system as blind, but always tailored their approach to the individual's heart. To truly honor Jesus, I need to get better at handling these situations with wisdom, recognizing when a loop has begun, and knowing when to walk away—rather than casting pearls before swine. Jesus didn't argue every Pharisee into submission; He spoke the truth, exposed the blindness, and moved on. Recognizing that spiritual blindness requires a miracle of the Holy Spirit—not just a louder argument—changes everything. My peace, my time, and the deep truths of Scripture are the pearls. Tossing them into a digital or verbal shouting match where they will just be trampled isn't faithful; it's draining. Walking away isn't losing. In fact, identifying the loop and choosing to stop is a massive win for my own spiritual maturity and emotional health.

As a Gentile Christ-follower, I find it interesting that water baptism was instituted by the last Old Covenant prophet, John the Baptist. Along with his father Zechariah, John was a prophet from the division of Abijah of the tribe of Levi. Zechariah received his vision in the Holy of Holies that the name of his future son would be John. The child John was conceived in their old age by Zechariah’s wife Elizabeth, who was also descended from Aaron. What I find especially interesting is that Jesus Himself was baptized by John (who ministered under the Mosaic Covenant) and then instructed all His disciples—both Jewish and Gentile—to continue this Jewish tradition that John the Baptist had instituted. The second Mosaic tradition Jesus continued was the Passover feast. Through the bread and the wine, He showed that He is the fulfillment and purpose of this Jewish feast, which had always pointed forward to the Passover Lamb of God. John summarized it this way: John 1:29-30 “The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He on behalf of whom I said, “After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.” I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water.’” Jesus instructed His disciples to keep these two Jewish traditions in honor of the Son of God. John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” In summary, these two Jewish traditions—known universally among Christ-followers—are important rituals for identifying with the New Covenant: 1. Baptism is a one-time identification with Christ’s death and resurrection. 2. Sharing the bread and the wine, proclaiming His death until He comes.

What to know! -Getting baptized is often seen as a betrayal of the Jewish people and the end of a person’s Jewish identity, even though the practice has Jewish roots. -The rejection of family and community that comes when someone starts to follow Yeshua can be extremely painful and hard to take. Some families even say prayers for the dead as if they had died. -Since Yeshua is the Jewish Messiah, there’s nothing more Jewish a person could do than to believe in Him! Despite the difficulties, accepting Yeshua as Messiah and Lord often leads to a wonderful revolution in a person’s identity, and a greater understanding of what it means to be part of the people of Israel. How to Pray? -Please pray for those in strictly religious communities, that God would provoke curiosity about the Bible and the Messiah, and draw many to Himself. -Pray that more and more Israelis like this man to overcome their barriers to faith, and for God to bring help, fellowship, and comfort when the going gets rough. -Pray for our team as they seek to support seekers who are exploring the teachings of Yeshua, and questions of faith — for God’s wisdom and love.

In Revelation, Jesus is the 'Root of David' because He is David's Creator and King. But in Romans 11, Paul is specifically talking about the Olive Tree of Israel. He identifies the root as the 'Holy Firstfruits'—the Patriarchs—to show that God’s covenantal calling is irrevocable (Rom 11:29). If you make the root in Romans 11 only Jesus, you risk thinking God started a brand-new tree, when Paul's whole point is that Gentiles are being grafted into the ancient, existing promises of Israel

Today Jewish Rabbis are irrelevant having been replaced by the one true Rabbi who is Jesus Christ (see Matthew 23:8). Israel is not obsolete nor are any Jewish people who now in the future put their faith in Messiah Jesus. The Daniel 9:26-27 riddle is solved by seeing that vs 26 and 27 are a paired confirmation of the same point. 26 [a]Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, [b]and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. [c] And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. 27 [a]And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, [b]but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; [c]and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate." Daniel's Final 7 using this paired interpretation- a. The ministry of Jesus Christ established the New covenant which began with John the Baptist in the fall AD 28 and was ratified by the blood of Jesus who was crucified as the Passover Lamb of God in AD 30. The duration options for the establishment of the New Covenant are 1.5 or 2.5 or 3.5 years. b. The Temple was destroyed in AD 70 the after the New Covenant was established at the cross and the Holy Spirit given to the Jewish-Gentile church. At this point those who sat on the seat of Moses while still denying that Christ is King of the Jews became irrelevant because they had been replaced by the teaching of the Jewish Apostles of the Lamb which is the Word of God. This event happened in the middle of the final seven and so duration is indeterminate but is now approaching 2 millennia. c. The rule and reign of the anti Christ Beasts of revelation will come to a sudden end with their complete and total destruction. This is more completely described by Jesus in the seventh seal of revelation. The duration of two beast rule is described as 3.5 years. This is followed by wrath of God which may possibly last 1 or 2 years. Daniels final 7 fulfilled - After the fulfillment of Daniels final seven is achieved the Millennial reign of Christ from Jerusalem begins. Many will be completely surprised when these events come to sudden fruition because they have been looking for false flags that will never happen such as the rebuilding of Solomon's Temple before Christ returns. Jesus promised to return to Jerusalem only when the Jewish people ask for him to return. Matthew 23:39 For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, 'BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!'"

You’re right that Rabbinic Judaism isn't identical to the faith of Moses—but neither is modern Christianity. The destruction of the Temple in 70 AD was a 'big bang' event that forced every branch of Judaism to adapt. When the sacrifices stopped, the Pharisees’ oral traditions evolved into the Talmud, while the Messianic Jews (the Apostles) recognized Yeshua as the final sacrifice. To call Rabbinic Judaism a 'bastardized spin-off' ignores the fact that it grew from the exact same soil as the Gospel. When Paul called himself a 'Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee' (Acts 23:6), he wasn't claiming a dead religion; he was identifying with the stream of Judaism that Jesus Himself engaged with. The Apostles didn't see themselves as founders of a new religion called 'Christianity' that replaced the old one; they saw Yeshua as the fulfillment of the Torah, not its funeral director. The claim that Judaism 'rejects Moses' or is further from the Old Testament than Mormonism is a rhetorical stretch that misses the heart of the matter. The issue isn't a lack of 'legitimacy' or 'rites'; it’s the identity of the Messiah. They read the same Tanakh we do, revere the same Moses, and cling to the same covenants. As Paul argues in Romans 11, the 'natural branches' were broken off due to unbelief in Yeshua, not because their heritage became 'invalid' or 'inventive.' Gentiles have to be careful with the 'arrogance' Paul warns against in Romans 11:18. Gentiles were grafted into Israel’s olive tree—the tree didn't get uprooted and replaced by a different species. If you dismiss the Jewish roots of the faith as a 'repugnant' spin-off, you end up outlawing the very soil the Gospel grew in. Messianic Jews aren't claiming the Talmud is the faith of the Apostles. We are claiming that Yeshua is the missing piece that makes the original, biblical Judaism complete. We don't need a 'post-Constantine' lens to see that God’s gifts and calling to Israel remain irrevocable.

@AgainstAtheismX Stephen forgave those who were stoning him including Saul who at that very moment approved of killing him. See Acts 7:54 - 8:1.

Christians Is someone required to be repentant in order for you to forgive them?

The Son of God appeared only to Jewish prophets to demonstrate that there is only one path of salvation through Israel, Moses, John the Baptist and finally the Son of God Jesus. There is no other path by which a man can be saved and the Apostles testified that Jesus is the only way. John 14:6 Jesus replied, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

I think Hagar, Gideon, and Samson's parent saw a powerful angel of the LORD. The text states that Moses saw and angel of the LORD within the burning bush and it was possibly similar to the experience King Nebuchadnezzar encountered. However I do think that both Jacob and Moses encountered Jesus face to face. The Apostle John received Revelation by an angel of the Lord Notice the Apostle John received the Revelation of Jesus Christ from an Angel that Jesus sent to him (see Revelation 1:1). Notice that the Apostle John sees a vision of the resurrected Christ through the Spirit (see Revelation 1:12-18). Toward the end of Revelation John bowed to the worship the angel that delivered the message and the angel replied don't do that, I am a fellow servant (see Revelation 22:9). Jacob wrestled with Jesus But I do see that Jacob wrested with Jesus before his name was changed to Jacob (see Genesis 32:24-31). And notice the confirmation from God again about the name change from Jacob to Israel (Genesis 35:1-15). Genesis 32:30 So Jacob named the place Peniel, for he said, "I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been preserved." Moses spoke to God face to face Exodus 33:11 "Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent." Remember that the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night which rested over the tabernacle was the actual presence of God with Israel in the wilderness. It was Moses and Joshua who entered into the tent and Moses was the one who went up close and so after he left his face was glowing. The radiance of Moses face diminished over time and so that is why he would wear a veal over his face afterwards. King Nebuchadnezzar saw an angel in the flames Daniel 3:24-28 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste; he said to his high officials, "Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire?" They replied to the king, "Certainly, O king." He said, "Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!" Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the Most High God, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego came out of the midst of the fire. The satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king's high officials gathered around and saw in regard to these men that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their trousers damaged, nor had the smell of fire even come upon them. Nebuchadnezzar responded and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who put their trust in Him, violating the king's command, and yielded up their bodies so as not to serve or worship any god except their own God. I assume that the prophet Daniel was seated next to King Nebuchadnezzar and relayed to him as his most trusted consultant that the fourth man in the fire was actually an angel of the LORD. Daniel saw a vision of the resurrected Christ The prophet Daniel saw a vision of the Son of Man ascend to heaven. Daniel 7:13-14 "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. 14 "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed. Daniel's prophecy was fulfilled when Christ ascended into heaven in the sight of his Apostles. Acts 1:9-11 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."

The ANGEL OF THE LORD in Old Testament is the pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus Christ (before He came in the flesh). • He speaks as God Himself • Carries divine authority • Received worship • He is called God • People respond to Him as if they have seen God. Appearances: • Genesis 16 (Hagar) • Exodus 3 (burning bush) • Judges 6 (Gideon) • Judges 13 (Samson’s parents) - Ordinary angels → reject worship - Angel of the Lord → does NOT correct people who respond with divine reverence

Christians, how old is the Earth? * The gap theory asserts that the Earth is really, really, super old as in Choice #1 but something happened between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 to make it chaotic.
