Will he be a regular man (or woman)? Or the son of G-d? Or G-d Himself wrapped in a physical human body? Does Scripture give any clues as to when He will come?

The messiah will be a great political leader descended from King David (Jeremiah 23:5). The messiah is often referred to as "moshiach ben David" (messiah, son of David). He will be well-versed in Jewish law, and observant of its commandments. (Isaiah 11:2-5) He will be a charismatic leader, inspiring others to follow his example. He will be a great military leader, who will win battles for Israel. He will be a great judge, who makes righteous decisions (Jeremiah 33:15). But above all, he will be a human being, not a god, demi-god or other supernatural being. \n\nIt has been said that in every generation, a person is born with the potential to be the messiah. If the time is right for the messianic age within that person's lifetime, then that person will be the messiah. But if that person dies before he completes the mission of the messiah, then that person is not the messiah. \n\nWhen Will the messiah Come? \nThere are a wide variety of opinions on the subject of when the messiah will come. Some of Judaism's greatest minds have cursed those who try to predict the time of the messiahs coming, because errors in such predictions could cause people to lose faith in the messianic idea or in Judaism itself. This actually happened in the 17th century, when Shabbatai Tzvi claimed to be the messiah. When Tzvi converted to Islam under threat of death, many Jews converted with him. Nevertheless, this prohibition has not stopped anyone from speculating about the time when the messiah will come. \n\nAlthough some scholars believed that G-d has set aside a specific date for the coming of the messiah, most authority suggests that the conduct of mankind will determine the time of the messiahs coming. In general, it is believed that the messiah will come in a time when he is most needed (because the world is so sinful), or in a time when he is most deserved (because the world is so good). For example, each of the following has been suggested as the time when the messiah will come: \n\nif Israel repented a single day; \nif Israel observed a single Shabbat properly; \nif Israel observed two Shabbats in a row properly; \nin a generation that is totally innocent or totally guilty; \nin a generation that loses hope; \nin a generation where children are totally disrespectful towards their parents and elders; \nWhat Will the messiah Do? \nBefore the time of the messiah, there shall be war and suffering (Ezekiel 38:16) \n\nThe mesiiah will bring about the political and spiritual redemption of the Jewish people by bringing us back to Israel and restoring Jerusalem (Isaiah 11:11-12; Jeremiah 23:8; 30:3; Hosea 3:4-5). He will establish a government in Israel that will be the center of all world government, both for Jews and gentiles (Isaiah 2:2-4; 11:10; 42:1). He will rebuild the Temple and re-establish its worship (Jeremiah 33:18). He will restore the religious court system of Israel and establish Jewish law as the law of the land (Jeremiah 33:15).

He doesn't exist. The sad thing is, there are people who think he does and they accept this torture becuase they think it's part of god's plan. Sad, huh???\n\n\nThanks for asking.

Not like angels. We will be raised in a glorified body, like the one that Jesus was rasied in at His resurrection.\nColossians 1:18\nHe [Jesus] is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.\n1 John 3:2\nBeloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be We know that when He [Jesus]appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

I agree with you. It says in the bible that "HE" is a he. It even refers to him as a "HE". Anyways just writing for moral support, keep speaking the truth.

"do you really beleive that he will be his sentence about the pain of death?"\n\nThat doesn't really make sense, but I'm guessing you want to know if we think he will actually be put to death.\n\nAssuming that is the question, my answer would be...\n\nMy answer is I hope so, but I doubt it.

It hasn't been quite that long - he died 35 C.E or some year near and it is now 2006. But yes - that is an awfully long time considering many of the early believers are recorded to have thought his return was imminent. Matthew 24 also suggests that his generation would not pass away until the tribulation and his return. Certainly does seem like he missed his appointment, but maybe something about all this is misunderstood - i.e., his words or the expectation of this itself. To me that is good evidence supporting he actually did ressurect, because no one would resonably expect him to return again if they didn't see him return once already.\n\nMany Chrisitians want not only every word of the Bible (which has been translated and rewritten by people with different theologies many times) to be right, but it to fit their interpretation of it. So they come up with scenarios to make it all fit in their minds rather than ponder the difficult questions and admit there are some things few if any of us know.

The question within your question, "Is God just?" The answer is yes. King David lost his baby due to his sin, and he declared, "I shall go to him, but he shall not come to me." There is an age of accountability where we become responsible for our destination. I believe it is 13 since that is the age a Jewish boy becomes a man, but I have no reference for this assumption. But in all this, I trust God will be just. That is what you should trust in as well, alwaysheaven.

There will arise a man among 10 kings.....\n\nHe will be given a seat his father once held (revelation 13:12).....\nHe will also be given that seat twice (Rev 13:5) The key word is continued.... 40 and 2 months is a 4 year term....\n\nThis second leader will go after those who are zealously religious....They are called saints... True devotees of the Lord God..... (Rev 13:7)\n\nThe first leader will cause a war and deceive people into believing in its cause...But, the second leader that follows after will fully enact it!!!!... (Rev 13:7)....... A holy war.... \n\nThrough his policy his deception will spread abroad and people will fear him....... (Dan 8:24)\n\nHe is one of war...... ((Daniel 11:30))\n\nHe will go out conquering and conquering land after land....Until he finds himself in a holy place..... \n\nThere will he establish himself and it is there that he shall meet his end........\n\nThis is when the war between he and Christ shall be.......\n\nheaven is emptied within the space of an hour.... God's wrath is poured upon men......  In that hour, this man will confirm a convenant with 10 leaders and declare war on God's people....\n\nthere is so much to this... it would take an aweful lot to explain it.... and I hope someone has done much better than me.......\n\nBut, look at the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation.....\n\nthey go hand in hand in explaining what is to come......

What exactly are you asking? What am I agreeing with? If it's a matter of whether I think this verse sets forth biblical doctrine, then yes. I believe in a physical resurrection (for everyone--though only those who are covered by the atonement get to go to heaven). I also believe in a spiritual atonement and an entrance into the Kingdom of G-d, both made possible through the work of Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) on the cross. And I believe that the only reason we can approach Him to praise Him is "through grace divine," because I certainly don't deserve to be in His presence. Only the blood of an innocent Man allows me to come near Him.\n\nWhat is the reference, by the way? I tried to find the verse...not sure what translation you are using.

straight from hell.\n\nI'm guessing it'll be a clone.\n\nIf God didn't make it, it won't have a soul.\n\nThe antichrist won't have a soul.\n\nThe day they fully clone a human is Dooms Day.

I believe that God is neither male nor female, but rather a Spirit. He has both male and female qualities. For example, He has the protective, strong side that can be classified with males and the caring, compassionate side that we identify as feminine. He created both man and woman to be like Him, not only externally but internally as well. Jesus, however, was male. In order to come down to earth and become human, He needed to have a gender. But God Himself is neither. Hope this helps, God bless!

The Beast appears as a satanic version of Christ. We have to be careful what we are looking for because the Jews missed Jesus when he came because they were waiting for a worldly warrior, not the suffering servant lamb that takes away the sins of the world.The Beast could be a literal man like many think or a messenger of GOD like Muhammad or anyone or anything else that resembles Jesus Christ. So watch and pray. We will see soon enough.\nMay GOD richly bless you.

Didn't Jesus Christ came down as a man, to be an example for all of us? Wasn't he a God of Jacob, God of Abraham?\nWhy is it so difficult to comprehend?\n\nNo, he is not "like a slug', but he is trying to get us home.
