#2. MESSIAH CLUES IN THE TANAKH

We found in chapter 9 of Daniel’s prophecy that the ‘Messiah’ would be executed 483 years after the Persian king Artaxerxes I Longimanus authorised the re-build of Jerusalem - before the city would be destroyed again, by the Romans in AD 70.                                                                                                                    

The Jewish TANAKH (Old Testament) gives many clues to help us identify this Jewish ‘Messiah’…

·       The original Mr. Israel said the royal line will always belong to Judah

·       The throne will always belong to the family of David

·       The ultimate ‘leader’ will be born in Bethlehem

·       He will be so special He will be born of a virgin!

Bethlehem

·       He will return from Egypt

·       He will be announced by a messenger

·       He will be anointed by the Spirit of God

·       He will bring hope to Galilee

·       He will heal many people

·       Finally He will enter Jerusalem on a donkey

So we need to look for a Son of David, born in Bethlehem, who identified with despised Galilee after returning from Egypt, who was announced, who was identified by God, who healed people and who finally rode a donkey into the city – right on time.                      

The virgin about to give birth

That’s a pretty tight spec...oh and don't forget...He had to be born of a virgin!

What will happen to Him?                                                        

Let’s look for more clues in the TANAKH…
