Where does it say in the prophesies that the Messiah would have kids?

Question

I don't believe this, but someone said it in the answer to another question and I'm curious as to where the idea came from. Please don't say the Da Vinci Code.

Answer 1

thats up to your own perception-and speculation

Answer 2

And where does it say also that A Messiah should not have a family? Even Paul in one of His writings he said, "How can one serve a community of family if he himself would not have one.?
Celibacy was chosen to be done by the religious who goes from village to village spreading the words of God and by those who chose to be by himself in a secluded area searching for his own spiritual advancement. Having no family was only decided by few religious orders as a dedication but not necessarily a mandate to all.

Answer 3

Actually, that one was my bad, misunderstanding of something I read. Oops, hey, no biggie, I was blaspheming at the time anyways. :)

Still, Jesus couldn't have been the messiah, he missed far too many of the prophecies.

Answer 4

It doesn't say that anywhere. Maybe they were referring to apocryphal texts, like the one about Judas or the Gospel of Mary..

Answer 5

I don't think it does, explicitly. However, the Messiah will be a human king, and a Jewish king. By that implication, it would be expected that the Messiah would be married and at least try to procreate...as is incumbent on all Kings of Israel.

Answer 6

its from isaiah 53.

"that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by his hand"

Answer 7

This is not physical children, obviously.

Answer 8

It doesn't say it anywhere.
