Before the well respected Rabbi Kaduri died, he spoke of Messiah Yeshoua?

Question

His encounter with the Messiah Kaduri claimed is alive in Israel today, he reportedly told close relatives: "He is not saying, 'I am the Messiah, give me the leadership.' Rather the nation is pushing him to lead them, after they find [in my words] signs showing that he has the status of Messiah."

Kaduri wrote that not all will believe in the Messiah – and that it will often be easier for non-religious people to accept him. He also describes a Messiah who is, at first, not aware of his position.

A few months before his death, Kaduri gave a Yom Kippur address in which he gave clues as to how to recognize the Messiah. He told those gathered for the Day of Atonement in his synagogue the Messiah would not come until former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon dies.

Kaduri was also quoted as saying the imminent arrival of the Messiah will "save Jerusalem from Islam and Christianity that wish to take Jerusalem from the Jewish Nation – but they will not succeed

Answer 1

I read about that too.

There's that reformed Sanhedrin. I think the same group tried to get a sacrifice going on the temple mount.

Very interesting stuff going on over there.

Answer 2

According to the New Testament, the mysterious Son of Man is the figure that christians should be looking to - a descendant of David. I agree that he will not be making any claims to being the Messiah. He will not be found approaching an established "one and only true church", but rather, be found outside organized religion or in the field. (And I saw a great crowd that no man was able to number from all nations, tribes, and tongues.) The true Messiah will be humble and not be aware of His Status and most likely live His life in relative obscurity.

Answer 3

Allow me to introduce myself as a believer in the Messiah, but Yeshua, not Yeshoua. When Yeshua (in English, Jesus) came to the nation of Israel 2000 years ago, he fulfilled the prophecies the prophets had made centuries before about him in the scriptures. But the religious leaders of the day didn't like him, because he was not impressed by their traditions and only followed the Law set down by God.

Yeshua offered a piece of advice to his disciples, "See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in my name, saying, "I am the Messiah" and will mislead many."

This Yeshoua you spoke of needs to present his evidence that he is the Messiah. Does he fulfill the prophecies? How does he compare to the Yeshua who claimed to be Messiah 2000 years ago, and came, fulfilling the prophecies. When one of Yeshua's contemporaries was questioning whether he really was the Messiah, this is what happened: "[he asked] Are you the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?" Yeshua answered and said to them, "Go and report...what you hear and see: the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them."

The question is, who can back up his claim to be Messiah with real evidence, not just the say-so of even someone who is greatly respected.

Answer 4

This story first broke against xtians who call themselves "messianic Jews" and they twist everything around. Think about it....if your theory is right and he believed jesus was the messiah, then he condemned himself to hell by denying jesus was the messiah while he was alive. People seem to want to put so much stock in a word on a paper that he probably didn't write but don't logically think it out. The Rabbi "saw jesus was the messiah" but did not convert to xtianity and denied (as all Jews do) that jesus is the messiah. We Jews are concerned about our souls but if this was to be believed, then he knowingly doomed himself to hell because in xtian theology to deny jesus is to doom yourself. This type of stuff is why "messianic jews" are so dangerous. They do not speak for Jews. They are not Jewish. As for reporters talking about it, most are secular Jews and a few are xtian and some were "messianic" and lets face it, its a controversial story sells papers. I am Jewish and studied this and its "much ado about nonsense". You quoting Matthew shows you are xtian and so you want this story to be true. You might go back and study history. Every generation has though their world was going to end soon using xtian texts. The black plague, the fall of the Roman empire, WW2 etc etc. Actually "messianic jews" have a real bad habit of telling people they are Jewish and leaving off the "messianic" part because it plays better to real Jews. Yes people leave islam because they decide it is not correct, the same reason you leave any faith. You are saying the opposite. You are implying Kaduri believed in jesus and yet he would have denied jesus, therefore putting his soul in jeopardy, therefore, common sense would say this is false. You go ahead and keep watching the news and join all those for the last 1000 years thinking the world was going to end. Good luck with that.

Answer 5

I'm thinking Muhammed is the ultimate "false prophet" Jesus warned us about. His so-called "revelation" twists scripture, distorts historical facts and has misled many into believing that they may only come to God's grace by performing certain intricate rituals, praying only in one certain language, and sublimating their free will to a select group of clerics who impose even death on anyone who dares to question this "revelation" or leave it.

Answer 6

All true (I read this in the Israeli press) but the name Yeshua was not mentioned, nor did rabbi Kaduri allude to J*sus.
The Hebrew word yeshua simply means salvation or redemption.

Answer 7

Just another mystic predicting "terrible natural disasters" that will "threaten the world." Like that's much of a prediction.

Answer 8

Judaism is the ultimate messianic religion, seeking to return to the state of Gan Edan which Moshiach will lead us to.

Answer 9

That 'messiah' is better known as the anti Christ. Thank God though, Jesus will return to kill him, unite Muslims and Christians and bring peace to the world.

Peace and blessings of God be upon Jesus Christ.

Answer 10

A bit political for a prophet, no?

I don't trust those kinds of "holy" men.
