I suppose I am too quick to dismiss it, since I have a specific view on how it is supposed to happen. In light of that, it is not impossible for Jesus to have individual meetings with pious rabbis to get them to get the Jewish people ready.
I was too quick to judge on that. This is not the first time that a modern day Rabbi might have met the Christ. Israel’s prophet, who died recently had said he had met the Messiah.
It could be true. I was speaking in light of not wanting people deceived.
If Rabbi's are meeting Jesus the Son of God, they would be preaching Jesus the Son of God. They are not doing so, so I conclude that as in the past, orthodox Rabbis are promoting one of their own as being the Messiah.
Jesus said He would return in the same manner He left, i.e., in a cloud over the Mt. of Olives. This is not to say that Jesus has not appeared to people in the interim - He has. But when He does, those individuals proclaim that they have met Jesus the Christ. Jesus appearing to Paul and to Muslims comes to mind. If Jesus reveals Himself to a person - that person will typically preach/testify that they have met Jesus the Messiah. I hear no such testimony from religious Jews who claim they've spoken to a Messiah.
