You’re Waiting for the Messiah? You Missed Him.

Shalom, my Jewish brothers and sisters.

I’ve got news that’s going to challenge everything you think you know — but if you’ll hear me out, it just might change your eternity.

You’ve been waiting for the Messiah. But He already came.

His name? Yeshua — Jesus of Nazareth. And no, this isn’t about abandoning Judaism. This is about embracing the One everything in Judaism was leading up to.

Let’s go back to the beginning. The very beginning.

The Gospel Hidden in Genesis

Start with the first ten names in the Torah — from Adam to Noah. In Hebrew, those names each mean something:

• Adam — Man

• Seth — Appointed

• Enosh — Mortal

• Kenan — Sorrow

• Mahalalel — The Blessed God

• Jared — Shall Come Down

• Enoch — Teaching

• Methuselah — His Death Shall Bring

• Lamech — Despairing

• Noah — Comfort, Rest

Put them together and you get this:

“Man is appointed mortal sorrow. But the Blessed God shall come down, teaching that His death shall bring the despairing comfort and rest.”

That’s not New Testament. That’s Genesis. That’s Jewish. That’s the Gospel before the Law was ever given.

Coincidence? Hold that thought.

Messiah from the Seed of a Woman?

Right after the fall, God gives a strange prophecy in Genesis 3:15:“I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed. He will crush your head, and you will bruise His heel.”

“The seed of the woman”? That’s not normal Hebrew phrasing. It’s pointing to a virgin birth — no human father.

Only one person in human history has fulfilled that.

And you already know who.

The Line of Abraham, the Throne of David

God tells Abraham in Genesis 22: “In your Seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.” That’s Jesus — Paul even says so in Galatians 3:16. He’s the promised Seed who blesses the whole world — Jew and Gentile.

Then God promises David in 2 Samuel 7: “I will raise up your descendant and establish the throne of His kingdom forever.”

Forever. Not “until Rome conquers Jerusalem.” Jesus is from the line of David. Born in Bethlehem, just like Micah 5:2 prophesied. Crucified. Raised. Ascended. And seated on the throne that never ends.

Isaiah: The Prophet Who Saw It All

You’ve heard Isaiah 7:14: “The virgin will conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.” Immanuel means “God with us.” This is not allegory. Jesus was born of a virgin and walked among us — God in human flesh.

And then there’s Isaiah 53. The chapter that reads like a biography of Jesus’ death 700 years before it happened:

• “He was pierced for our transgressions.”

• “The Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”

• “He was cut off from the land of the living.”

• “He shall prolong His days.”

  
  

Tell me — what rabbi, what king, what prophet — was pierced, killed, buried, and then saw life again?

Only one.

Jesus didn’t fulfill one prophecy. Or ten. Or twenty.

He fulfilled over 300 Messianic prophecies.

Let me break that down for you.

Let’s Do the Math

Professor Peter Stoner, a mathematician, calculated the odds of one man fulfilling just eight Messianic prophecies. Not 300. Just eight.

You know what the odds are?

1 in 10 to the 17th power.

That’s 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000.To visualize it, take the state of Texas. Cover it in silver dollars — two feet deep. Mark one coin with a red X, throw it in, mix it up. Then blindfold a guy and let him wander across Texas. He gets one chance to pick up the marked coin.

That’s the odds of one man fulfilling just eight Messianic prophecies.

Jesus fulfilled over 300.

At that point, it’s not chance. It’s not luck. It’s not myth.

It’s truth.

Daniel Nailed the Timeline

In Daniel 9, the prophet predicts the exact time the Messiah would come — 483 years after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem.

That decree came in 445 B.C. Count 483 years. Where do you land?

Right in the middle of the first century A.D. Right when Jesus was riding into Jerusalem on a donkey — like Zechariah 9:9 said He would.

God Got Pierced? Yes.

Zechariah 12:10 says: “They will look on Me whom they pierced and mourn for Him as one mourns for an only son.”

Wait — God got pierced?

Yes. At the cross.

God in the flesh. Pierced by those He came to save. But Zechariah also says Israel will one day look on Him and mourn — not with bitterness, but with repentance.

That day is coming.

And I pray it comes for you.

Jesus Didn’t Start a New Religion. He Fulfilled the Old One.

He said, “Do not think I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I came to fulfill them.”

• He’s the Passover Lamb — whose blood saves from death.

• He’s the Atonement — who entered the Holy of Holies with His own blood.

• He’s the Tabernacle — God dwelling among His people.

• He’s the High Priest — who never dies, never fails, and never sins.

  
  

Everything in Torah — the sacrifices, the feasts, the symbols — it all pointed to Him.

Who Is Jesus? He’s the “I AM”

He said, “Before Abraham was, I AM.”

That’s the divine name God gave Moses at the burning bush — “I AM WHO I AM.”

Jesus wasn’t claiming to be a prophet. He was claiming to be God.

And He backed it up.

He healed the sick. Raised the dead. Forgave sins. Walked on water. Silenced storms. And then, after being crucified, rose from the dead — just like He said He would.

You’re Not Rejecting a Man. You’re Rejecting Your Own Messiah.

“He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.”

But those who do? He gives them the right to be called children of God.

You’re not betraying Judaism by believing in Jesus. You’re fulfilling it.

You’re not converting to another religion. You’re coming home to the Messiah of Israel.

Jesus Didn’t Just Fulfill Prophecy — He Reset Time Itself

Let me ask you something: Why is the whole world counting time from the birth of a poor Jewish carpenter from Nazareth?

Ever think about that?

Whether you’re in Tel Aviv or Tokyo, New York or New Delhi, every date on every calendar — every contract, every email, every passport, every paycheck — is stamped with a number that traces back to one moment: the birth of Jesus.

B.C. means “Before Christ.” A.D. is Latin — Anno Domini — “In the year of our Lord.”

Even atheists and skeptics are marking time by a life they don’t believe in.

And we’re not just talking about the Church. The secular world tried to rename it — BCE and CE — “Before Common Era” and “Common Era.”But guess what they didn’t change?

The dividing line is still Jesus.

Not Moses. Not Abraham. Not Muhammad. Not Buddha. Only Jesus had that kind of impact.

Why? Because when He came, He didn’t just fulfill prophecy — He fulfilled the ages. He is the hinge of human history. The turning point of the world. The one moment where time itself bowed its knee.

That doesn’t happen by accident.

That doesn’t happen for a liar, a lunatic, or a legend.

That only happens for the Lord.

And if God reset the global calendar based on this man’s birth, maybe we ought to stop and ask why.

“When God sent His Son into the world, He started the clock over — because everything before was just buildup, and everything after is response.”

So Now What?

If you’re still waiting for the Messiah — I’ve got bad news and good news.

The bad news? You missed Him. The good news? He’s still calling you.

Not to ritual. Not to religion. Not to manmade tradition.

But to life. To truth. To Himself.

Jesus is alive. And He’s coming back — not as a suffering servant this time, but as the conquering King.

And when He returns, it won’t be to take sides. It will be to take over.

So I’ll say it plain:

Yeshua is the Messiah. Jesus is Lord. Believe in Him — and be saved.
