Can anyone tell me about the miracles that were considered as messianic miracles because no one else had ever or could ever perform them. Example: The man who was born blind. The Jews knew tht Messiah would be able to heal one who was born blind, which He did. | ||||||

Hi Mariel, Being a new christian, I am constantly searching, reading and praying for wisdom and knowledge. I came across your question and did some searching. The following is a quote that I took from a page of Let Us Reason Ministries. The URL is http://www.letusreason.org/Juda5.htm. There is scripture verses cited as well. I hope this answers your question. "Sometime prior to the coming of Yeshua (Jesus), the Rabbis divided miracles into two separate categories: those that anyone could perform if empowered to do so and those reserved only to Messiah. As Yeshua performed both types of miracles during His First Coming, There are three main miracles that would help the Jewish people recognize who the Messiah is when he came. There are three main miracles that were reserved for the Messiah that would help the Jewish people recognize who the Messiah is when he came. 1) The first messianic miracle was the healing of a leper. The Mosaic Law, stated a person could only be defiled by a living human body by touching a leper. One was called ceremonially unclean or defiled, by touching a dead human body, a dead animal body, or a live, unclean animal body, such as a pig. under the Mosaic Law, their was only one type of living human that could possibly cause defilement, that was a leper. Mk.1:40-45 records Jesus’ first description of a healing miracle. Leprosy affected everything they were considered unclean and it was associated with sin. One could not come in contact with people who were afflicted they needed to stand down wind and if a leper were coming near they needed to cry out unclean. When Jesus came , he knelt and asked if he is willing, which of course he was… there was no healing of a Jewish leper- from the time of Moses and the completing of the mosaic law no leper had been healed in Israel. Mariam and Nathan were not Jews. (Mt.8:2-4; Lk.5:12-16; Mk.1:40-45). 2) Healing and casting out a dumb demon- This miracle only the messiah could perform. The Pharisees recognized this as a messianic miracle, this is why they asked could this be the son of David. At the time their were exorcisms performed within Judaism. For this to be accomplished the exorcist needed to communicate with the demon and then force him to tell them his name (as Jesus did with the demoniac). However in this case where someone was affected by the demon to become dumb this exorcism could not take place because there could be no communication made. According to the Rabbis only the messiah could cast out a demon like this. 3) the healing of a blind man Jn.9:1-32 Jesus broke the tradition of the elders (Mishnaic law) which prohibited the healing of the blind by his putting mud and water in the blind mans eyes which was to the Pharisee's unclean. Only the messiah could heal someone that was blind from birth. The first messianic miracle the Pharisees investigate Jesus. The 2nd they end up rejecting His claims of messiahship. The 3rd they reject the individuals who affirm He is the Messiah." I am not an expert by any means but this web site appears legitimate. There were many other sites that came up as well but this one was the easiest to understand. |

I can't thank you enough for your help. About 30 years ago I had a set of tapes entitled "The Life of Christ From The Jewish Perspective" and these were all mentioned there. Regretably I loaned the tapes to someone and never got them back. Bless you, Mariel |
