Bible Note: Shalom Mommapbs; Thank you for the welcome, I have been impressed with the politeness and sincerity in the forums and am thankful for the warm welcome you and everyone else have given to me. I know that my beliefs are quit a bit different from most in this forum but I hope that I can learn from others and that I can contribute to others in their learning as well. Concerning the comments above. While many believe the “messiah” (Meshiach in Hebrew which means “anointed”) in Daniel 9:25 to be Yeshua/Jesus, but this is an interpretation. I always stress that we must make a distinction between what the passage actually says and how we interpret it. I do not believe that this “messiah” is referring to Yeshua as this anointed will set up the abomination in the Temple. I believe that the anointed one in this verse to be one of the Ceasers. While it seems strange for us to think of a non-Jew as a “Messiah”, Isaiah 45:1 identifies Cyrus, the Persian King, as a Messiah. Isaiah 45:1 "This is what the LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut: Daniel 9:25 does not identify the Messiah but some interpret it as Yeshua and others as Ceaser, basing the interpretation on the surrounding verses and how they are interpreted. I hope this explains my position on my previous statement. Shalom Simchat Torah |
