Paving the Road to Redemption "Behold I will send to you Elijah the Prophet before the arrival of the great and awesome day of G‑d"—the Prophet Malachi. Elijah will appear in order to herald the coming Moshiach, though there's much speculation as precisely when he will appear. his arrival, he will serve several other functions.

Elijah will appear in order to herald the coming of MoshiachThe prophet Ezekiel describes a climactic war, the Battle of Gog and Magog, that will occur prior to the arrival of the Moshiach. This topic is shrouded in mystery: we are uncertain as to the identity of Gog and Magog, whether Gog and Magog are the names of nations or individuals, whether this battle will be a physical or spiritual battle, and even whether it has already occurred or not.
According to tradition, the central personality in this war is Moshiach ben Yosef—Moshiach of the tribe of Joseph, who will be killed in this battle.

Ingathering of the Exiles and Settling in Israel One of the most important aspects of the Redemption is the promise of the ingathering of the exiles from the Diaspora, with all Jews settling in their tribal portion of the Holy Land. We are assured that no Jew will be left behind—including the Ten "Lost Tribes."
The Holy Temple, was destroyed by the Romans, will be rebuilt in Jerusalem, becoming the central focus of all humanity—as Isaiah says, "My home will be considered a 'House of Prayer' for all the nations."

Uncle Leo?

. . . with due regard to they the horse would team
Joseph had a father, Jacob, before leaving where they were at and coming to the land promised to Abraham. There is no record of interaction between Joseph and his brothers until they enter the promised land. Which is where Joseph promptly is wearing the coat of many colors (every race) given to him by his father, and is interacting with his brothers; personally seeing his brothers bad behavior, and reporting it to his father.
Joseph’s dreams show him as superior to his earthly family. Because of their jealosy he is rejected by his own kin, a (fake) death and burial (in the pit) takes place, his blood spattered coat is shown to his father, after he was sold out of his family’s sight.
The next time they see him and know him, he is (in power, but not position) ‘even as Pharaoh’, and not only is saviour to his kinfolk, but to thousands of Gentiles.
Jesus Christ quite wonderfully is the one that type and shadow of Joseph portrays.
You are on Free Republic. If you want to exclude any other comments but Jewish, you need to use a caucus label.
And God "inserted" Jesus into the religion of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, if not yours.
Why should those the of Jewish faith believe in Jesus as the Christ?
No more than Buddha is my deity. He is absolutely nothing to Jews. Messy-onic "jews" do not count, as they are not actually jews unless born to an authentically Jewish mother. And most of them are actually non-Jews.
So take up bandwidth with all your quotes---since they are from another religion, they mean NOTHING to Jews. Absolutely nothing.
Matthew is not part of my religion. You can claim that purple elephants will land on your nose in any of your books, and I couldn't care less. They are not part of my religion.
WRONG. Dream on. Your books and writings have nothing to do with Judaism, no matter what you seek to co-opt through replacement theology. You can call your writings part of Judaism but that doesn't make it true. And it's not. JC is not part of Judaism. Never will be. Rant on, I could care less.
Sadly, EinNYC, you are mistaken and, perhaps, spiritually blinded by your religious traditions. Please peruse the writings of Isaiah more closely. Please ask God Almighty to open your heart and eyes and soul to His Holy Word, as expressed by your great prophet, Isaiah.
Isaiah foretold, repeatedly, the coming of the Messiah in great detail. He describes in detail Jesus, born of a virgin in Bethlehem, the son of David, the son of man, the Son of God, the Lion of Judah.
Isaiah 7:14-16, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good. For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted.”
Isaiah 9:6+7: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
“Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.”
Isaiah 11:1+2: There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.”
Isaiah 17:7: In that day man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will look on the Holy One of Israel.”
Jesus is your Messiah, your hope, your dream, your praise. Jesus cured the dick, raised the dead to life, gave sight to the blind, gave hearing to the deaf, cured the lepers, healed the crippled so they could walk.
Isaiah 30:1 “Ah, stubborn children,” declares the LORD, “who carry out a plan, but not mine, and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin;”
Isaiah 30:18: Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.
Isaiah 30:20+21 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
Isaiah 34:16: Seek and read from the book of the LORD.
Isaiah continues with a call to you, his brother, to turn to the LORD, to wait upon your God, and to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior.
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10.
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus in John 14:10. Jesus Christ is your Savior, first for the Jews, then for the gentiles. Please pray to Christ, to the Son of God, for your salvation.
...And in my dream when I turned on the news,
All they did was talk about the Jews.
They wondered, “How could we have been so wrong?”
I think deep down they knew it all along.
Because Mashiach had arrived –
Peace and love began to thrive.
The whole world came to storm our gates –
But there’s no Geirus, it’s too late –
Aha – Aha – Aha.
And for the first time, my oh my –
Since long ago at Har Sinai –
Chaveirim Kol Yisroel!

No, I am not mistaken. You are an obnoxious idiot trying to force your religious beliefs on me. My religion is NOT THE SAME as your religion. Its beliefs, laws, tenets---everything about it---are different. JC is not any part of Judaism. We have one G-d, and that's it. He does not share the stage with anyone, doesn't need to do so. We declare several times a day that He is our only deity. Your quoting me stuff from religious texts outside my religion or attempting to use prophets' writings out of context are absolutely no proof of anything except that you are obnoxious, deluded, and can type.
Stop wasting my time telling me stuff I could not care less about, just as I could not care less about Vishnu, Ogon, Zeus or Darth Vader. Be happy in YOUR religion and leave the rest of us ALONE.
I give you love, you return ridicule. I quote your prophet, you respond with name calling. I offer hope, you respond with hate. T’is sad. God bless you and your family.
