Why is Yeshua the Mashiyach?

Yeshua is

When we first heard of Yeshua or Jesus did we race home and grab our Bibles to find out whether He was the Mashiyach? Did we charge our way through the Prophets to figure out if YESHUA is the One? No, that's not what people generally do! What we generally do is think about what we've been taught, then we decide whether Yeshua fits the picture. When Yeshua walked in HaEretz Israel there was much corruption, religion had become a greedy power grab for money and politics, this is the one thing where all Jews agree. Jewish sects were at war with each other, there were rivalries among the sects for the top position on the political ladder. Many didn't appreciate what Yeshua was doing, for instance He waltzed into the Temple and smashed down the tables of the merchants. YIKES!!!

The Torah says if it's a long journey for you to get to Jerusalem for the Shalosh Regalim (three annual feasts), you are to sell your tithe "wrap up the money" and go shopping when you get to Jerusalem. Three times a year, Pesach, Shavuot and Succoth, the supply and demand curve peaks in Jerusalem. Some people got well padded by selling at huge mark ups during the Chagim (feasts), based on the supply and demand curve. They are still doing it Jerusalem, some people love to hike up the prices when they can get away with it! If you've tried to rent a car in Jerusalem during the Feasts, you know what I'm talking about. Some car rental companies try to get THREE TIMES more money during the feasts, than during off peak seasons. This is one of the things Yeshua didn't appreciate in the Temple, religious leaders oppressed the poor. For those with large families, who work off the land, they live simple lives, they are not so highly educated, not born into wealthy families, the Feasts of YHWH became a hardship rather than Joy. Even today in Israel Rabbis get paid by the State of Israel, then they also dip into everyone's pockets when they perform weddings etc. Yeshua saw the need for change, He took it upon Himself to make the changes... some would say "he kicked some ass".

Yes, it's a very rare soul who analyzes the Tenach to determine whether Yeshua is Mashiyach, but this is the ONLY context where we find the criterion and profile of HaMashiyach. Mashiyach epitomizes everything there is in Justice, Peace and Righteousness. He is the Author of Peace. If we were to separate out our own political aspirations, we might be more inclined to recognize Mashiyach for who He really is. One of the biggest aspirations we all share is to have Peace within our souls, and within our families, among our friends and between all the nations on earth. We want fairness and equity for all. We long for the day when Peace will flow through the Land, when greed and power mongering among the Nations will subside, when Justice flows like a river. Let's be honest, our hearts mourn for those who suffer under injustice, we deeply grieve the horrific and senseless loss of life due to the plague of false governments and religions. The big question is how could Mashiyach have come into the world and it still be such a dark and barbaric place? Many thought Mashiyach was supposed to make it all better.

The most famous of all Jewish Historians writes that Yeshua did so many miracles it wouldn't even be right to call him a man, he did things beyond what any man has ever done before. But Mashiyach never came to be a hero, and he never came for Himself, He came for us. He came to empower us to be changed and not everyone wants to live a righteous and pure life. Yeshua gave us the option and established the criterion whereby we could live in and for the Truth.

Y'shua's "crime" according to religions of His day was that He came in the Name of YHWH and spoke the truth in love. He didn't condemn but He gave everyone opportunity for all to make teshuva (turn to YHWH). Yeshua's love for people and His teaching about Justice and the Kingdom of Elohim broke religious ideas of His day, the hearts of those who heard Him were pierced, we could not deny His Love and self sacrifice. Let's face it, most of us are too busy with other things that to take the time to major in Love. How many people do you know have a career in Love? How many people do you know have a degree in giving? How many? How many treat everyone on earth like equals, they just love the souls of people regardless of religion or all the externals. How many religious people love or give without strings attached? Most religious people only want a convert, they don't give a crap about you unless you're one of them.

In every instance Yeshua demonstrated compassion and love for human life far beyond what man had experienced before. Yeshua and His talmidim spoke with authority, they spoke the truth in love, they stepped on toes of those who lacked love and compassion for others, they held up a standard of Righteousness that valued human life much higher than religious institutions of their day. Some posture that it was a fantasy, and historical revisionists who made up cunning stories to make a Mashiyach from nothing, the big problem with this foolish idea is that He would have had to be "remade" in every generation since then. The reason we know that Yeshua is Mashiyach, is that the evidence is within us. There are no external religious ideologies that we can look to in an attempt to "prove" Yeshua as Mashiyach. The only factor we can be certain of is FAITH.

Mashiyach is centered on Justice, Truth and Peace, everything that religion, oppression, dictatorship and politics is not. Mashiyach is born inside of us, His Spirit lives in us. Mashiyach is not a theory or a historical ideology, He is Present Reality. Mashiyach defines Love, Mercy, Judgment and Faith, these actions are beyond man's own energy to grasp, we need Mashiyach to help us take hold of these which He designed and created within His people.

The Human experience is Holy, not mundane, not average, we are here not just to exist. We are to "BE" Holy (Set Apart unto YHWH) and "BE" a Kedoshim (a Holy people) unto Him. Certainly there are many who don't accept Yeshua as Mashiyach but it's surprising that over 14% of Jews in America believe Yeshua is Mashiyach, 40% more Jews in America believe Yeshua is Mashiyach than who follow Rabbinical Judaism. The reason the world is the way it is, isn't because Yeshua is not Mashiyach, it's because those who know Mashiyach are too busy in Babylon rather than pursuing the Kingdom of Elohim. Only a very small number of Jews or "Israelites" needs to press into Mashiyach collectively to shake the world for righteousness, but the cucumbers, leeks, and flesh pots of Egypt are much too important for the "Believers". How many people do you know have a degree in Mercy? How many have a PhD in Loving kindness or a Masters degree in Joy?

Each one must ask YHWH to reveal His Mashiyach, we cannot come to know Him by intellectual ideas anymore than one can have a "best friend" based on theories. Yeshua is not a politician He is a Servant, what Yeshua did stuck with mankind forever, well with some of mankind. Yeshua has impacted the world for Righteousness by infinite degree, there is no Rabbi or leader who has produced such immeasurable "fruits" of Righteousness or of righteous controversy in the history of the world.

The life of Yeshua judges everyone, He is the standard of Righteousness that we are to be measured with. If you say that Yeshua is NOT Mashiyach then let's see you perform more righteousness than He? No kidding, if you judge the greatest Jew of all times as a fake, where does that leave you? Mashiyach gave no rhetoric, redundancies or clichés, He speaks to mans needs, Yeshua's actions and Words are given to establish Torah in our hearts.

Many souls have lost their way, some are still busy playing religion, some are after other gods, but because of Yeshua we have learned to put trivial things aside. When we turn away from sin and receive Yeshua as the Mashiyach we open our hearts to have Torah live inside us, we live as a Kedoshim (Holy People).

Yeshua is the Mashiyach, He is everything in a man we want to be, we can easily choose to live or die for the things of Yeshua Mashiyach because He is greater than life itself. Souls are not persuaded of His Messiahship because He fulfilled prophecies as Mashiyach Ben Yoseph, it's not doctrinal or intellectual things that convince us, it's human need for love, trust, mercy and Righteous Judgment. Compare yourself with Yeshua, define love, who loves others the way He does? I don't choose to follow Mashiyach because I'm afraid to die, I need to know how to live to my fullest potential. Mashiyach chooses us, he chose you to seek Him and know Him. We would not have known true love had we not come to know Yeshua Mashiyach, He is the Perfect Lover of our souls. Yeshua says the Mitzvoth (Directions or Commandments of YHWH) are not a burden, these are to bless us. Religion cannot lead to Mashiyach, wanting to know and experience the truth about Love and Life leads us to Yeshua, not to religion. Yeshua came through the line of Yehuda and David. All of the Torah is Yeshua's platform to establish His Righteousness. More and more Christians are looking into Hebrew and Aramaic and studying Torah to know what Yeshua really taught, His teachings have been the most counterfeited of any Teacher that ever lived. Yeshua was fashioned to be a Greek philosopher, He was given a Greek name (Iesous - Jesus) and Greek garments of paganism, and Greek philosophy and He is upheld under a pseudo name by a pagan world.

It is through the Jewish Hebrew culture Yeshua came, the same culture and language YHWH used to teach His Holiness, Righteousness, Sanctification and Truth to the world by Torah (instruction in righteousness). Y'shua was quickly remade into a Greek god called "Jesus", but Greek gods don't look or sound like Jewish Messiahs do they? No Jewish Messiah would show people how to put up Christmas trees, or make Easter eggs, or worship on the Day of the Sun (Sunday). There is certainly no atonement without repentance of our sins, yet religion says that their religions are on a higher level than Mashiyach. Mashiyach is not a "Christian" idea, Christianity is basic Hellenism after the pseudo Messiah named "Jesus". This is precisely what the "Mystery of Iniquity" is, Mashiyach warned us to beware of anti-Messiah. All this does not disqualify Y'shua as being Mashiyach, on the contrary it proves that the original was counterfeited by man, because man is embarrassed at his loveless, lawless and pathetic state. Or maybe you think highly of how mankind treats one another? Religion does whatever it wants to appear credible before people, this is what the Prophets of YHWH said would happen, hasatan puts in a fulltime effort to lie and deceive about the nature of Love and Peace. One of Yeshua's Talmidim wrote;

"For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears."

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for the day will not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called Elohim, or that is worshipped; so that he as god sits in the temple of YHWH, showing himself that he is god. NEVER FORGET, that, when I was still with you, I told you these things. And now you know what gives that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity is already at work: only he who now lets will let, until he is taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom Mashiyach shall consume with the Spirit of His Mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of hasatan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause Elohim shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"

The false Messiah under the banner of Jesus deceives many souls with power and signs and lying wonders and with all deception of unrighteousness. Mashiyach Yeshua will always be the Righteous Mashiyach who established Torah, while Jesus and his followers are busy trashing Torah and speaking against it and those who follow all Righteousness.

The followers of Jesus will one day have to choose between their Torahless religion

which teaches Christmas trees, Easter eggs, Sunday worship, blood and swine sausages.

Yeshua the Living Word of YHWH who writes Torah upon our hearts.

Mashiyach Yeshua is symbolized in the life of Joseph and his brothers in Egypt. Joseph's brothers could not recognize him because he looked like an Egyptian. Hasatan did a makeover and counterfeited the Name and Teachings of Yeshua, into the form of a pagan Greek deity called Jesus.

Look carefully into the Life of Yeshua, many objections regarding his Messiahship are terribly and miserably unfounded. Today the Christian world crucifies Yeshua every day by their words and actions, they have remade Yeshua into a Torahless Gentile so they can abandon righteousness and feel good about living carnal lives.

Yeshua didn't break Torah, nor did His talmidim,

He made a way for us to observe the Torah joyfully.

So the next time you hear...

Mashiyach!!! Mashiyach!!! Mashiyach!!!

Think about YESHUA!

May your joy be full in Him.

Shalom U'Vrachot,

Baruch Ben Daniel
