The Coming Messiah in Prophecy - Eli Chiprout - May 1984

Eli Chiprout

Here is a subject that will surprise Jews, Christians and Moslems alike. Most Christians assume that Jesus of Nazareth is God's promised Messiah. Most Jewish people assume that he is not. Few people today give the subject much thought. They simply accept what they have been taught from youth. I was brought up in Judaism. Since childhood I was told that Jesus of the New Testament is not from God. I was taught that God inspired the Hebrew Scriptures (what Christians call the Old Testament but what the Jewish people know as the Law, the Prophets and the Writings) and that no other scriptures are inspired. I accepted without question my teachings. Then the challenge came. I read the Plain Truth magazine and found in it valuable principles for living my day-to-day life. Yet The Plain Truth often made reference to the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. I glossed over these statements at first. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
