Old Testament Verse about Jesus...?

Question

many people say that Jesus was prophecied in the old testament.

most of the prophecys they offer, are not prophecys at all, but simply half-sentences taken out of context, or references that don't really refer to jesus unless your prejudiced towards that meaning.

but heres a verse that actually does describe jesus...

Deuteronomy 13:2-6:
2 If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams--and he give thee a sign or a wonder,
3 and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spoke unto thee--saying: 'Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them';
4 thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams; for HaShem your G-d putteth you to proof, to know whether ye do love HaShem your G-d with all your heart and with all your soul.

(continuing the quote and link, in an add)

5 After HaShem your G-d shall ye walk, and Him shall ye fear, and His commandments shall ye keep, and unto His voice shall ye hearken, and Him shall ye serve, and unto Him shall ye cleave.
6 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken perversion against HaShem your G-d, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which HaShem thy G-d commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

if you understand the most fundamental aspects of Jewish belief, then this clearly describes jesus, quite specifically.

5 After HaShem your G-d shall ye walk, and Him shall ye fear, and His commandments shall ye keep, and unto His voice shall ye hearken, and Him shall ye serve, and unto Him shall ye cleave.
6 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken perversion against HaShem your G-d, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which HaShem thy G-d commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

Answer 1

The NT was written several decades after the death of Jesus using prophesy to "prove" he was the messiah. You'd think they would have done a much better job of it though. Where on earth did they get that bit about the messiah being divine????

Answer 2

Short Answer: No! Why would there be Jews today if Jesus was the promised Messiah or G-d in human form? There are many substantial and vital distinctions between Judaism and Christianity. Of course, there are many similarities as well, primarily because Christianity emerged from Judaism. However, the emergence was not a direct line. Christianity broke from Judaism, forming a new religion, so it is misleading, however comfortable the thought might be, to believe that the two religions are essentially the same, or to see Christianity as the natural continuation of Judaism. The differences between the two religions will be explored below. As a preface, it is useful to repeat Judaism's central belief that the people of all religions are children of God, and therefore equal before God. All people have God's love, mercy, and help. In particular, Judaism does not require that a person convert to Judaism in order to achieve salvation. The only requirement for that, as understood by Jews, is to be ethical. While Judaism accepts the worth of all people regardless of religion, it also allows people who are not Jewish but who voluntarily wish to join the Jewish people to do so. It is not really possible to summarize either Judaism or Christianity fairly in brevity, so further study is encouraged. Also, the formal positions of Judaism on various issues should be discussed with a rabbi. The beliefs described in this section are mainstream Christian and Jewish beliefs. Individual Christian and Jewish thinkers may differ, sometimes considerably, with the positions described here. It is nonetheless useful, even with all these limitations, to consider the differences. One book that is excellent on this subject is Judaism and Christianity: the Differences, by Trude Weiss-Rosmarin (Jonathan David, 1981).

Answer 3

Bless your heart. As a Christian I am saddened that you and other posters feel that way, but I am heartened also because you respect the sacred texts. You did not express if you are awaiting your messiah to appear. If I were Jewish that would be my great expectation in all the earth next to the formation of the nation of Israel and to visit that place.

I am sorry to disagree with you here but when Jesus came here he said to his followers "search the scriptures for they are they that speak about me". He was referring to the Jewish texts about what the mission of the messiah was. He was to be the saviour of all mankind on the entrie earth. And for all those who lived before his time and all those even in our time now, and the generations following us.

Christianity did not throw out the Jewish Scriptures at all. We kept them all for a purpose. Your book is the roots of the tree upon which Christianity is expressed to the outside world. You may dislike it and I understand but understand this. For me if there is no Judaism. Then there never can be Christianity.

Answer 4

Just a tick sir
You profane your own religious beliefs,
All attentive scholars and students of the scriptures align the verses in context , and
compare scripture with scripture, and in the multitude of counsellors.....
Whatever Jesus proclaimed before witnesses, it all came to pass, did you ever consult scripture before you attested to the verse you point to being a theory that you propose; to prove that Jesus was a false prophet
Nay you do err and that against your own soul
In the KJV , one only has to compare your statement and conclude without any doubt to your false understanding of the scripture
Jesus came to fulfill scripture, man came along and killed him, to fulfill scripture
Salvation was what he offered you, not condemnation
If you condemn Him, you are already condemned,
Salvation will open your eyes, God will teach you what man has not been able to teach.
Longsuffering and forgiveness through Jesus the Christ

Answer 5

Yes, it does describe Jesus, and any other false prophet who has come along before or since, and what to do about them.
