Basic Principles from the TANACH (O.T)

even basic principles from the TANACH the Jewish Bible:

God alone is the source of a satisfying and worthwhile life. You will make known to me the path of life: in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures for evermore” Psalm 16:11

There is a barrier between God and us: sin. “But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your GOD, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear” Isaiah 59:2

Our good deeds won’t remove the barrier. “And we are all as one that is unclean, and our righteousness (good deeds) as filthy rags” Isaiah 64:6

God has provided atonement as a way of removing the barrier. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul”. Leviticus 17:11

God promised to send the Messiah for blood atonement. “He was pierced for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities… We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all”. Isaiah 53:5&6

At least 48 specific prophecies further identify this Messianic figure, all of which have been fulfilled in Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth. Here are some of them…

1. He would be a descendent of King David (Jeremiah 23:5,6)
2. The city of His birth would be Bethlehem (Micah 5:1,2)
3. He would have a divine nature (Isaiah 9:5,6)
4. He would come before the destruction of Herod’s temple in 70 C.E. (Daniel 9:26)
5. He would be executed by crucifixion (Psalm 22:14-17)
6. He would rise from the dead (Isaiah 53:10)
7. He would return with the evidence of having been mortally wounded (Zechariah 12:10)

God has provided perfect atonement (forgiveness of sins) through the sacrifice of the Messiah, Yeshua. All who place their trust in Him have restored fellowship with God and assurance of eternal life.
