What do Jews know about these 18 major prophecies in the Old and New Testaments?

http://WhatJewsBelieve.org\n\nNone of the Real Prophecies concerning the messiah have been fulfilled by Jesus.\n\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us:::\n\nEzekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27 .....Behold, all \nsouls are mine; as the soul of the father, so \nalso the soul of the son is mine: the soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. Eze 18:20 The soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not \nbear the iniquity of the father, neither shall \nthe father bear the iniquity of the son: the \nrighteousness of the righteous shall be upon \nhim, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be \nupon him. But if the wicked will turn from all \nhis sins that he hath committed, and keep all \nmy statutes, and do that which is lawful and \nright, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \nAll his transgressions that he hath committed, \nthey shall not be mentioned unto him: in his \nrighteousness that he hath done he shall live. \nHave I any pleasure at all that the wicked \nshould die? saith the Etrnl Gd: and not that \nhe should return from his ways, and live?.... \nEze 18:26 When a righteous man turneth away \nfrom his righteousness, and committeth \niniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity \nthat he hath done shall he die. Again, when \nthe wicked man turneth away from his \nwickedness that he hath committed, and doeth \nthat which is lawful and right, he shall save \nhis soul alive. \n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one cou

God still talks to anyone who will listen. He loves everyone of every race, nationality, religion... In fact, Revelation 14:6 says that just before Jesus comes an angel (messenger) flies in the midst of heaven with the everlasting gospel (good news) to preach to every nation, tribe, language, and people. That doesn't leave ANYONE out!\n\nNow, to your question about the Jewish nation and the tapestry...\n\nGod had chosen the Jews to be His special people, and they were to be a representation to the world of His character. They didn't exactly fill His desires for them throughout the ages. In fact, tthey came to be quite an embarrasement, yet He still loved them. While they were in captivity in Babylon, God gave the prophet Daniel a vision telling him what would happen with the Jewish people.\n\nDaniel 9:24 says that there would be 70 weeks determined (the Greek word means "cut off") for the Jewish people. Verse 25 gives the start date for this time period - the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. There were 3 commands given saying the Jews could go back to Jerusalem (you can read about these in the book of Ezra), but only one authorized the rebuilding of the city, and that was given in 457 BC. \n\nVerse 25 says that from that command to restore and build Jerusalem unto Messiah ("Anointed One") the Prince would be 69 weeks, and then verse 26 says that in the middle of that 70th week, the Messiah would be "cut off" and put an end to the sacrifice and oblation.\n\nBefore going any farther, read Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6, where you see that in prophecy a day equals a year. So, these weeks that we are talking about can be multiplied by seven to give us the days, and then those days are actually years. So, 70 weeks would equal 490 years (70 x 7). And the 69 weeks equal 483 years.\n\nSure enough, if you go to that start date of 457 BC when the command was given to rebuild Jerusalem and go forward 483 years, you land on 27 AD, the exact year that Jesus was baptized and anointed by the Holy Spirit for His ministry. Then, it says that in the middle of that next week Jesus would be "cut off", or killed, but not for Himself. If a week equals 7 years, then the middle of that week would be 3 1/2 years. Sure enough, exactly 3 1/2 years after his fall baptism in 27 AD, Jesus was crucified in the spring of 31 AD. \n\nThis is where the TAPESTRY comes in. At Jesus' death, the curtain, a 4" tapestry, that divided the rooms in the sanctuary was torn top to bottom (Mark 15:37,38). This made it clear to everyone that the sanctuary services pointing forward to the Messiah were no longer necessary, as Jesus had just died and fulfilled every service that happened there. He was the Lamb killed for the sins of the world, and there was no longer a need for sacrifices.\n\nHowever, the Jewish nation as a whole didn't accept that Jesus was the Messiah. Individuals believed on Him, but the leadership rejected Him. 3 1/2 years after Jesus' death, Stephen was preaching to the Jewish leaders about Jesus, and they took him and stoned him to death, making him the first Christian martyr. This happened in 34 AD, exactly 70 weeks, or 490 years, after the command to rebuild Jerusalem. Those 70 weeks given to the Jewish nation to accept Jesus and be God's chosen people had run out, and from that time on the gospel was preached to the Gentile world.\n\nToday, anyone who accepts Jesus becomes a part of spiritual Israel. Paul says that if we are Christs, then we are Abraham's seed (Galatians 3:29). That means Jews as well as us.

Everbody here seems to be an expert, but their answers are all partially incorrect.\n\nWhat Christians call the Old Testament is a adaptation of the Jeiwsh Tanakh, or Jewish Bible.  The difference is that the Christian Ol Testament contain 6 xtra chapters that are not part of the Jewish Bible.  In addition, many of the words in the Christian version are mistranslated by accident or on purpose!  The changes were made to support the Idea that Jesus is the true messiah which the Jews do not accept.\n\nNotice that many Christian rely on the KJV bible, or King James Version.  This was created over one thosand years after Jesus died.  KIng James was not a bible expert, he just decided what he wanted and printded his own version.\n\nThe bst way to know what the Tanakh contains in its original for is to get a English trnaslation of it.  It is know that the version Jews use today is almost exaclty the same word for word as the original version created thousands of years ago.\n\nSo to answer your question, Jews ignore the "Old Testament" completely!  In fact, Christians should be reading the Tanakh!

I think the dead sea scolls are a wonderful find and give us great insight to the fact that the Old Testament has largly remained intact thruogh the centuries. Not to mention that they gives a lot as far as understanding lituature of the day. As for the Old Testamnet apocrypha they are good reading and give us useful information about many thing but they are in some cases not historicaly correct and should not be considered scripture. They were never canonized (met the standard) by the jewish people of that day and were recognized as religous material but not the word of God. Later scholar including Jerome,Melito, Epiphanius, and Origen make a distiction between these and the rest of the Old Testamnet. In addition to that Jesus Himself acknowleges the authority of the Scriptures and cite them often but He never cited or acknowledged the apocyrphal books

"839 "Those who have not yet received the Gospel are related to the People of God in various ways." \nThe relationship of the Church with the Jewish People. When she delves into her own mystery, the Church, the People of God in the New Covenant, discovers her link with the Jewish People, "the first to hear the Word of God." The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant. To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ", "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable."\n\n840 And when one considers the future, God's People of the Old Covenant and the new People of God tend towards similar goals: expectation of the coming (or the return) of the Messiah. But one awaits the return of the Messiah who died and rose from the dead and is recognized as Lord and Son of God; the other awaits the coming of a Messiah, whose features remain hidden till the end of time; and the latter waiting is accompanied by the drama of not knowing or of misunderstanding Christ Jesus. <2>\n\n841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day." <3>\n\n842 The Church's bond with non-Christian religions is in the first place the common origin and end of the human race: \n\nAll nations form but one community. This is so because all stem from the one stock which God created to people the entire earth, and also because all share a common destiny, namely God. His providence, evident goodness, and saving designs extend to all against the day when the elect are gathered together in the holy city. . .\n\n843 The Catholic Church recognizes in other religions that search, among shadows and images, for the God who is unknown yet near since he gives life and breath and all things and wants all men to be saved. Thus, the Church considers all goodness and truth found in these religions as "a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life."\n\n844 In their religious behavior, however, men also display the limits and errors that disfigure the image of God in them: \n\nVery often, deceived by the Evil One, men have become vain in their reasonings, and have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and served the creature rather than the Creator. Or else, living and dying in this world without God, they are exposed to ultimate despair.\n\n845 To reunite all his children, scattered and led astray by sin, the Father willed to call the whole of humanity together into his Son's Church. The Church is the place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation. The Church is "the world reconciled." She is that bark which "in the full sail of the Lord's cross, by the breath of the Holy Spirit, navigates safely in this world." According to another image dear to the Church Fathers, she is prefigured by Noah's ark, which alone saves from the flood."

the numbers relate to three biblical events set to take place. the opening of the sixth seal, the sounding of the sixth trump, the pouring out of the sixth vial will all signal the coming of the antichrist which is satan the devil.

TWO WITNESSES\n\nChrist said; \nRev 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in My right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks.

Jews use many books, but I think you are talking about The Tanakh.

I thought it was the old testament and the new testament in the holy bible

Simple:\nRead the Book of Matthew.  In its 24 chapters, Matthew list 90 different Old Testament prophecies and how Jesus fulfilled them.  That is the theme of the book.\nJust keep a pen and paper handing and jot them down.  You will have a long list by the end of the book.\n\nI would list them for you here, but it would require quoted 90% of the book....

History lesson.  :-) During Jesus' time on earth, there were two canons of Jewish Scripture in use.  One, now called the Jamnian canon, is what is currently used by Protestants.  The other, called the Septuigant, was translated in Alexandria into Greek. The Jews at the time of Christ had disputes about which was the true canon.  This was not resolved until 90 AD, nearly 60 years after Christ's death.  At this point, the authority the Jews had over the "oracles of God (see Romans 3:2) had passed on to the newly formed Christian church.  At the same time that the Jews decided on this form of the Old Testament, they also rejected the New Testament writings that were presented as possible additions to the canon of Scripture.  \n\n\nThe canon of the New Testament was set at the Councils of Hippo and Carthage (393 and 397 AD).  Both Councils confirmed the Septuigant as the Old Testament canon.  \n\nAfter this, there was still dispute among Christians about the canon (include 1 Clement?  is Revelation really inspired?), but the canon stood until Martin Luther, when the deuterocanonicals (literally "second canon", apocrapha means "uninspired") were removed (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1 and 2 Maccabees, and parts of Daniel and Ester).  Luther also wanted to remove  Hebrews, 2 Peter, 2 and 3 John, Jude, and Revelation.  \n\nI am thrilled that you have a personal relationship with Christ.  It is vital for all Christians to live as Christ want us to live.  More Catholics need that relationship. Perhaps God led you to find that Bible, and to wonder about it.  Do some looking into Catholicism, you may be suprised at what you find.  Unfortunatly many Catholics are not taught their faith, and so, despite it's intellectualism and beauty, they find God elsewhere.  Good luck.

"But understand this: there will be terrifying times in the last days. People will be self-centered and lovers of money, proud, haughty, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, irreligious, callous, implacable, slanderous, licentious, brutal, hating what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God" 2 Tim 3:1-4.\n\nThe moral depravity and false teaching that will be rampant in the last days are already at work. The frivolous and superficial, too, devoid of the true spirit of religion, will be easy victims of those who pervert them by falsifying the truth, just as Jannes and Jambres, Pharaoh's magicians of Egypt, discredited the truth in Moses' time.\n\n"Pharaoh, in turn, summoned wise men and sorcerers, and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did likewise by their magic arts. Each one threw down his staff, and it was changed into a snake. But Aaron's staff swallowed their staffs." "But the Egyptian magicians did the same by their magic arts. So Pharaoh remained obstinate and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had foretold." Ex 7:11-12,22.\n\nExodus does not name the magicians, but the two names are widely found in much later Jewish, Christian, and even pagan writings. Their origins are legendary.

Judaism follows the Tora, which is pretty much the Old Testament of the Bible.

Yes. Watchtower missreads this verse:\n\nAnd I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. \n(Revelation 7:4)\n\nThese 144,000 are 12000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. They will receive Christ and preach boldly the word of God during the tribulation period.\n\nAlso, the bible says:\n\nFor the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. \n(Romans 10:11-13)\n\nFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. \n(John 3:16)\n\nBottom line: when a denomination contradicts the Bible, the Bible is always right
