Discourse: Sinaite/Messianic [VAN/RW] Yeshua in Tanakh . . .?

[This is a resurrected post, one of the earliest ones we published when we started this website.  The exchange began when our messianic teacher wrote VAN the following email on the occasion of VAN’s birthday, April 16, 2011.  Edited for post.]

Shalom [VAN],

Now that you’ve turned ____ . . .  I expect more wisdom from you and clear thinking.

Check out Isaiah 48:16.

(LITV)  Come near to Me; hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning. From its being, I was there; and now the Lord Jehovah, and His Spirit, has sent Me. (“i” and “Me” all refer to the Son, Yeshua.)  I looked at this in Hebrew and the translation seems correct.  I do not see any way to twist it to mean anything other than Father & Spirit sent the Son.

Check out the context – God is speaking, which we easily identify as Yeshua.

Isa 48:12-13  “Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I called! I am he;

I am the first, and I am the last.  My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand forth together.”

Now as far as, “Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.”

The Burnt Offering sacrifice, total dedication to God, is the #1 sacrifice that includes all others.  This is the morning sacrifice and the evening sacrifice, every day, and a Lamb is the sacrificial animal.  This is why Yeshua was put on the cross about 9am, the time for the morning burnt offering sacrifice, and dismissed His spirit about 3pm, the time for the evening burnt offering sacrifice.  Yeshua was the Totally Dedicated to God voluntary sacrifice that encompassed or included all the others, THE LAMB of God, which satisfied the Justice of God against all sin of the entire world.

If interested, you can get the book “Yeshua, The Name of Yeshua revealed in Code in the Tanakh,”  . . . . 

Shalom,

RW
