What PROPHECIES did Jesus not fulfill? Was it only the reclaiming of land for the Jews?

Question

Guys, guys, you're confusing me here. Was it prophesied that he would have a 2nd coming? What passages tell us that?

Answer 1

yep

Answer 2

theres still that whole "world peace" thing as well.

and the part that the jewish messiah was never supposed to be God incarnate, or any more divine than you or I. nor was he supposed to be a sacrifice.

>>"but there is still time for him to reclaim the land of the jew! "<<

... umm, no. sorry to tell ya this, but he died a few years ago.

>>" The only ones I know of are the ones that are yet to occur....."<<

theres nothing in the original text saying anything about it being done in 2 trips. the fact that hes DEAD means that if theres any left over... he wasn't the one. the jewish messiah does it all in one trip.

>>"He fulfilled the prophesy that a virgin would be with child"<<
it said young woman, not virgin.

>>"that He would be crucified and resurrected after three days"<<

the text doesn't actually say that. in fact it takes a deliberate mistranslation to make it really even look like it even says part of that.

edit: sorry Upsman, theres no prophecy whatsoever of a "second" coming. its all part of one trip. hes never intended to die in the OT prophecys about the messiah.

well, at least not halfway through doing the stuff.

edit2: >>"Was it prophesied that he would have a 2nd coming? What passages tell us that?"<<

no, it was not.
but christians somehow warp what is there into thinking that there was, in order to compensate for the fact that jesus did not fulfill *EVERY* prophecy, and thus was not the messiah.

Answer 3

He fulfilled all the ones that concerned his first coming. The Bible has the signature of God attached to it in many ways. One of those ways is Bible prophecy. The old testament has 333 prophecies about the first coming of Jesus Christ and 456 specific details about his life(all written between 400 and 200 years before he was born). The 4 gospels in the new testament(Mathew, Mark, Luke & John) tell the story of jesus. Had those 4 gospel writers chosen to not write their gospels, we could still have re-created the whole life of Christ just from the old testament(all written before he was born). In fact, that is how the christians preached the gospel in the first 20-30 years after the death of Christ. They preached it from the old testament because the new testament had not yet been written.
But there are also about 500 prophecies concerning his 2nd coming in the last days(which days I think we are living in today).
Some of those prophecies have or are in the process of being fulfilled now like the return of the nation of Isreal. But most of them still are waiting to be fulfilled because they concern His 2nd coming.

Answer 4

He fulfilled the prophesy that a virgin would be with child, (Our Lord) that He would be crucified and resurrected after three days. Isaiah 53 3-10

Answer 5

The biggest Prophecy that Christ filled was being the lamb of God. After orginal sin, man was commanded to sacrafice a lamb each year in order for his sins to be forgiven. When Christ died on the cross, he was sacraficed so that man's sins would be forgiven, past, present and future sins. His death also filled a void between God and man. He restored our ability to call on God thru prayer. It is why the curtails at the altar were torn. It symbolized God's presense was everywhere.

Answer 6

Answer 9

He must be a direct male descendant of King David and King Solomon, his son - "And when your days (David) are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall issue from your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will make firm the throne of his kingdom forever..." (2 Samuel 7:12 - 13)

The genealogy of the New Testament is inconsistent. While it gives two accounts of the genealogy of Joseph, it states clearly that he is not the biological father of Jesus. One of the genealogies is through Nathan and not Solomon altogether!

He must gather the Jewish people from exile and return them to Israel -"And he shall set up a banner for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." (Isaiah 11:12)

Are all Jews living in Israel? Have all Jews EVER lived in Israel since the time of Jesus?

He must rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem - "...and I will set my sanctuary in their midst forever and my tabernacle shall be with them.." (Ezekiel 37:26 - 27)

At last check, there is NO Temple in Jerusalem. And worse, it was shortly after Jesus died that the Temple was DESTROYED! Just the opposite of this prophecy!

He will rule at a time of world-wide peace - "...they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." (Micah 4:3)askyourself...

Have you seen a newspaper lately? Are we living in a state of complete world peace? Has there ever been peace since the time of Jesus?



He will rule at a time when the Jewish people will observe G-d's commandments - "My servant David shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall follow My ordinances and be careful to observe My statutes." (Ezekiel 37:24)

The Torah is the Jewish guide to life, and its commandments are the ones referred to here. Do all Jews observe all the commandments? Christianity, in fact, often discourages observance of the commandments in Torah, in complete opposition to this prophecy.

He will rule at a time when all people will come to acknowledge and serve one G-d - "And it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, says the L-rd" (Isaiah 66:23)

there are still millions if not billions of people in the world today who adhere to paganistic and polytheistic religions. It is clear that we have not yet seen this period of human history unfold.

All of these criteria are best stated in the book of Ezekiel Chapter 37 verses 24-28:

And David my servant shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd. they shall also follow My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Yaakov my servant, in which your fathers have dwelt and they shall dwell there, they and their children, and their children's children forever; and my servant David shall be their prince forever. Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them, it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, which I will give them; and I will multiply them and I will set my sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore. And my tabernacle shall be with them: and I will be their G-d and they will be my people. Then the nations shall know that I am the L-rd who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary will be in the midst of them forevermore.

If an individual fails to fulfill even one of these conditions, then he cannot be "The Messiah." A careful analysis of these criteria shows us that to date, no one has fulfilled every condition.
