Title: Is biblical mesianism false?
Post by: cyberateos on May 04, 2009, 03:50:42 AM
Jews say that Jesus could not be the Messiah, but was Bible referred really to ONE Messiah, or to different kings?

Have you readen Isaiah?

He was talking about Ezecchiah, the son of Acab.

Other writers were referring to other persons and other times.

So you're suggesting that different prophets may have been predicting different saviors? Interesting idea. Of course the Jesus of the NT said that he was the fulfillment of prophecy, so anyone that believes in Jesus would likely automatically assume he's the culmination of all the OT prophecies. Still, it's fun to think about. Maybe the Jews were waiting for Bill Maher.

Exactly. The Old Testament of the Bible was written during ¡two milleniums!

Psalms were written for different persons who often prophetize for kings who paid their salaries. :D
