The Tanakh, the Bible of the Jewish people, also known at the Old Testament, is full of proof and promise about a Savior who would come from the line of King David and redeem people from their sin and brokenness. Yeshua perfectly fulfilled over 324 prophecies about the coming Messiah in the Tanakh. According to mathematician Peter Stoner, the ...

Some have deemed the Bible's many genealogical passages unnecessary. Yet, the frequency with which genealogies appear in the Scriptures is evidence of their importance. Genealogies established one's lineage—one's Jewishness, one's tribal identity, one's right to the priesthood and one's right to kingship. From all the genealogies in the Hebrew Scri...
In addition, only one line is traced from the beginning to the end of the biblical history, the line of King David. The Scriptures reveal every name before David (Adam to David) and every name after David (David to Zerubbabel). Since the Messiah was to be of the house of David, this can also be labeled as the messianic line. In fact, the genealogie...
The pattern of genealogy in the Hebrew Scriptures is followed by the New Testament pattern where two genealogies are found: Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38. Of the four gospel accounts, only those two deal with the birth and early life of Jesus. Both Mark and John begin their accounts with Jesus as an adult, so it is natural that only Matthew and L...
To understand the need for these two genealogies, it is important to understand the two requirements for kingship in the Hebrew Scriptures. These were developed after the division of the kingdom after the death of Solomon.… One was applicable to the southern Kingdom of Judah, with its capital in Jerusalem, while the other was applicable to the nort...
In his genealogy, Matthew breaks with Jewish tradition and custom. He mentions the names of four women: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba (who is the one to whom the pronoun "her" in verse six refers). It was contrary to Jewish practice to name women in a genealogy. The Talmud states, "A mother's family is not to be called a family." Even the few wo...
Unlike Matthew, Luke follows strict Jewish procedure and custom in that he omits no names and mentions no women. However, if by Jewish custom one could not mention the name of a woman, but wished to trace her line, how would one do so? He would use the name of her husband. (Possible Old Testament precedents for this practice are Ezra 2:61 and Nehem...
While Matthew's genealogy showed why Yeshua could not be king if he really were Joseph's son, Luke's genealogy shows why Yeshua could be king. When he returns, he willbe king. Two things may be noted by way of conclusion. First, many rabbinic objections to the messiahship of Jesus are based on his genealogy. The argument goes, "Since Jesus was not ...
Apr 16, 2021 · Jesus’ name from Yeshua Hamashiach got Hellenized from the Greek word “ IZEUS ” or son of Zeus. This, of course, would be a far cry from proper theology if we took Jesus’ name to mean “Son of Zeus.”. After all, Antiochus Epiphanes IV desecrated the temple by putting a statue of Zeus within it. The idea that Jesus’ name came from ...
Mar 23, 1992 · However, it would be jumping to conclusions if we simply said that the more polemic the text, the greater the efforts to hide the fact that Jesus’ original Hebrew name was Yeshua. An example of this can be found in Jakob Zurischadaj’s Habrit (Jerusalem, 1970) from the traditional Jewish refutation literature. The procedure in this book is ...
The name יֵשׁוּעַ, Yeshua (transliterated in the English Old Testament as Jeshua), is a late form of the Biblical Hebrew name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, Yehoshua (Joshua), and spelled with a waw in the second syllable. The Late Biblical Hebrew spellings for earlier names often contracted the theophoric element Yeho- to Yo-.
By David Jeremiah. Jesus! He is altogether lovely, the lily of the valley, the eternal God made flesh. More books have been written about Him, more songs penned to honor Him, and more lives transformed by Him than by any other name in human history. He has been worshiped from the day He was born to the present moment, and more people are ...
