Still, going from the return of the Jews to their ancestral land–a phenomenon described as “spooky” by Nobel Prize laureate and physicist Leon Lederman–to a vision of all humanity living in peace and harmony and uniting around a single idea and belief in God is… quite a stretch. Nothing like this has ever happened before. These phenomena are baffling to historians, philosophers, and anthropologists. We have even seen the Hebrew language, once a stagnant, archaic language reserved mostly for Jewish scholarship (not unlike today’s Latin), turn into a living, breathing vernacular. We have seen an “ingathering of the exiles” we have seen the reestablishment of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel for the first time in 2,000 years we have seen the miraculous reunification of the city of Jerusalem we have seen the land turn from a desolate wasteland into a thriving, fertile land flowing with milk and honey. I think it is also fairly obvious from the above description why religious Zionists (such as myself) believe that the establishment of the State of Israel is a step along the way to the fulfillment of those prophesies. But we’ll be talking about repentance and atonement next month. And there is no connection between him and atonement.

He’s supposed to be a human king and a prophet, just like David and Saul. The Jewish Messiah is not supposed to be Divine. and the thing about him dying for our sins… and that stuff is totally off the map of Jewish beliefs, so… yeah. And then y’all started with the Trinity business…. Now, Christian scholars would obviously disagree with me they would interpret the same texts differently, and say that all this will come true when Jesus returns in a “second coming.” But none of the prophets mentioned anything about the Messiah dying and then disappearing for a few millennia before coming back and fulfilling the prophesies.

He did not fulfill any of these prophesies. Not in his lifetime, and not in the 2,000 years since. Now, reading this description, it’s fairly clear why Jews did not accept Jesus as the Messiah. Cue doves, rainbows, and laughing children. And the world will be a place of harmony, peace, and love. Prophecy–which, according to Jewish belief, stopped existing after the destruction of the first Temple–will return, with the Messiah being the first new prophet. Humanity will be at a completely different spiritual level, and the near tangible presence of God will again be felt at the Temple, where the human and the Divine will embrace. Some scholars believe that the redemption will come about through miraculous means others, including Maimonides, believe that it will happen in accordance with the laws of nature. And people from all over the world will come to see the Temple–“a house of prayer for all nations”–and serve God there. We will stop being a hated and persecuted minority we still are today, and will reestablish our role as a nation of priests, who will be teachers and spiritual leaders for the rest of humanity. The Messiah will facilitate an “ingathering of the exiles” Jews from all over the world will return to our homeland to establish the renewed Kingdom of Israel. They described the Messiah ushering in a new era, where all of humankind will know God and be aware of Him, and recognize the Jews as His chosen people. They described him rebuilding the Temple–one that will stand forever, and not be destroyed like the previous two. They described him as an individual with great wisdom and sensitivity, who will bring universal peace and justice. The same prophets who predicted the destruction of the Temple (Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Isiah were the big three, but there were more) also foretold the coming of the Messiah. So the Messiah will be a king–a human king–from the line of King David, who will reestablish the Kingdom of Israel in the Holy Land. King Saul, the first King of Israel, was anointed this way, as was King David. Let’s start from the beginning: what does “messiah” mean? It comes from the Hebrew word משיח, meshiaḥ, which means “anointed.” Back in the days of the Bible, you didn’t “crown” a king, you “anointed” him with oil. So as we rise from the floor this afternoon and begin to ease ourselves out of deep mourning for the Temple, I thought it would be an appropriate time to look to the future, and write about what it is that we are praying for and hoping for when we talk about rebuilding it.
