Bible Question:
In Deut 8:5 Israel is told; "The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen, you shall listen to him". When Yeshua came as the promised prophet, Israel was suppose to listen to him and recognize him as the prophet. If Israel did what they were suppose to, what would happen to the cross?

Bible Answer: Greetings Simchat! There are at least a couple of verses which address this issue: Rev. 13:8 and 1 Pet. 1:19-20. Rev. 13:8 - "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world." 1 Pet. 1:19 - "but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake." Both of these passages indicate that Christ's death is rooted in eternity. It was never possible that there would be any other means of salvation other than the cross.
