she was found pregnant by the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy
Ghost)…”Behold, the virgin shall be with child, And shall
bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanu’el;”

(Gabriel) was sent from God to a city of the Galil (Galilee),
named Natzeret (Nazareth), to a virgin pledged to be

house of David. The virgin‘s name was Miryam (Mary).
Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly
favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among
women!” But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled
at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this
might be. The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Miryam
(Mary), for you have found favor with God. Behold, you
will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will
call his name ‘Yeshua.’ He will be great, and will be called
the Son of Ha`Elyon (the Son of the Highest). The Lord
God will give him the throne of his father, David, and he will
reign over the house of Ya`akov (Jacob) forever. There will
be no end to his kingdom.” Miryam (Mary) said to the
angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?” The angel
answered her, “The Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Ghost) will
come on you, and the power of Ha`Elyon (the Highest) will
overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born
from you will be called the Son of God.

were in Beit-Lechem (Bethlehem) and in all the surrounding
countryside, from two years old and under, according to
the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.
Then that which was spoken by Yirmeyahu (Jeremy) the

comforted, Because they are no more.”

(Egypt), and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek
the young child to destroy him.” He arose and took the
young child and his mother by night, and departed into
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and was there until the death of Herod;
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the YHWH
through the prophet, saying, “Out of Mitzrayim (Egypt)
I called my son.”

(the earth), and see, distress and darkness, the gloom of
anguish; and into thick darkness they shall be driven away.
But there shall be no gloom to her who was in anguish.
In the former time he brought into contempt the land of
Zevulun (Zebulun) and the land of Naftali (Naphtali); but
in the latter time has he made it glorious, by the way of
the sea, beyond the Yarden (Jordan), Galil (Galilee) of
the nations. The people who walked in darkness have
seen a great light: those who lived in the land of the
shadow of death, on them has the light shined.
Coming true:
Mattityahu / Matthew 4:12-16: Now when Yeshua heard
that Yochanan (John) was delivered up, he withdrew into
the Galil (Galilee). Leaving Natzeret (Nazareth), he came
and lived in Kafar-Nachum (Capernaum), which is by the
sea, in the region of Zevulun (Zebulun) and Naftali
(Naphtali), that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
through Yesha`yahu (Isaiah) the prophet, saying,
“The land of Zevulun (Zebulun) and the land of Naftali
(Naphtali), Toward the sea, beyond the Yarden (Jordan),

Messiah as a priest
Prophecy:
תהלים / Psalms 110:4: The YHWH has sworn, and will not

order of Malki-Tzedek (Melchizedek).”
Coming true:
Hebrews 5:4-6: Nobody takes this honor on himself, but
he is called by God, just like Aharon was. So also Messiah
didn’t glorify himself to be made a Kohen Gadol (High
Priest), but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son.
Today I have become your father.” As he says also in
another place, “You are a Kohen (Priest) forever, after
the order of Malki-Tzedek (Melchizedek).”
Hebrews 6:19,20: …entering into that which is within the
veil; where as a forerunner Yeshua entered for us, having
become a Kohen Gadol (High Priest) forever after the order
of Malki-Tzedek (Melchizedek).
Hebrews 7:17,21: for it is testified, “You are a Kohen
(Priest) forever, According to the order of Malki-Tzedek.”
… (for they indeed have been made Kohanim (priests)
without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of

are a Kohen (Priest) forever, according to the order of
Malki-Tzedek (Melchizedek)'”.

punishment that brought our shalom (peace) was on him;
and by his wounds we are healed.
Coming true:
Mattityahu / Matthew 8:16,17: When evening came, they
brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out

(Isaiah) the prophet, saying: “He took our infirmities, and
bore our diseases.”

Yochanan / John 2:14-17: He found in the temple those
who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of
money sitting. He made a whip of cords, and threw all
out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he
poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their
tables. To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take
these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house
a marketplace!” His talmidim (disciples) remembered that
it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”
The Messiah is the Savior of the Gentiles also
Prophecy:
ישעיה / Isaiah 42:1-4: Behold, my servant, whom I uphold;
my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit
on him; he will bring forth justice to the Goyim (the

to be heard in the street. A bruised reed will he not break,
and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring
forth justice in truth. He will not fail nor be discouraged,
until he have set justice in the eretz (the earth); and the
isles shall wait for his law.
Coming true:
Mattityahu / Matthew 12:18-21: “Behold, my servant
whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom my soul is
well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim
justice to the Goyim (the Gentiles). He will not strive, nor
shout; neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking
flax, until he leads justice to victory. In his name, the Goyim
(the Gentiles) will hope.”

a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease: and as

be rejected by this generation.
Luke 23:18: But they all cried out together, saying, “Away
with this man! Release to us Bar-Abba! (Barabbas)”
Yochanan / John 1:11: came to his own, and those who
were his own didn’t receive him.

said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain
thing? The kings of the eretz (the earth) take a stand, and
the rulers take council together, against the YHWH, and
against his Messiah.’ For truly, in this city against your
holy servant, Yeshua, whom you anointed, both Herod
and Pontius Pilate, with the Goyim and the people of
Yisra’el (Israel), were gathered together to do whatever
your hand and your council foreordained to happen.
1 Corinthians 2:7,8: But we speak God’s wisdom in a
mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God
foreordained before the worlds for our glory, which none
of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known
it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.
Messiah's spiritual character traits
Prophecy:
תהלים 45:7,8 / Psalms 45:6,7: Your throne, God, is
forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of
your kingdom. You have loved righteousness, and hated
wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
ישעיה / Isaiah 11:2-5: The Spirit of the YHWH shall rest
on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit
of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the
fear of the YHWH. His delight shall be in the fear of the
YHWH; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,
neither decide after the hearing of his ears; but with
righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with
equity for the humble of the eretz (the earth); and he shall
strike the eretz (the earth) with the rod of his mouth; and
with the breath of his lips shall he kill the wicked.

of the YHWH.”

Prophecy:
ישעיה / Isaiah 62:11: Behold, the YHWH has proclaimed
to the end of the world, Say you to the daughter of Tziyon
(Zion), Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is
with him, and his recompense before him.
זכריה / Zechariah 9:9: Rejoice greatly, daughter of
Tziyon (Zion)! Shout, daughter of Yerushalayim!
Behold, your king comes to you! He is righteous, and
having salvation; Lowly, and riding on a donkey, Even
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Coming true:
Mattityahu / Matthew 21:4-9: All this was done, that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet,
saying, “Tell the daughter of Tziyon (Zion), Behold, your
King comes to you, Humble, and riding on a donkey, On
a colt, the foal of a donkey.” The disciples went, and did
just as Yeshua commanded them, and brought the donkey
and the colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on
them. A very great multitude spread their clothes on the
road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread them
on the road. The multitudes who went before him, and who
followed kept shouting, “Hoshia`na (Hosanna) to the son
of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hoshia`na (Hosanna) in the highest!”
Yochanan / John 12:12-16: On the next day a great
multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that
Yeshua was coming to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), they
took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet
him, and cried out, “Hoshia`na (Hosanna)! Blessed is he
who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Yisra’el
(Israel)!” Yeshua, having found a young donkey, sat on
- As it is written, “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Tziyon
(Zion). Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s
colt.” His disciples didn’t understand these things at first,
but when Yeshua was glorified, then they remembered
that these things were written about him, and that they
had done these things to him.
Friend to betray the Messiah
Prophecy:
תהלים 41:10 / Psalms 41:9: Yes, my own familiar friend,
in whom I trusted, Who ate bread with me, Has lifted up
his heel against me.

the twelve, who was called Yehudah from K’riot (Judas
Iscariot), went to the chief priests, and said, “What are
you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?”
They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver. From
that time he sought opportunity to betray him … While
he was still speaking, behold, Yehudah (Judas), one of
the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with
swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of
the people. Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign,
saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
Immediately he came to Yeshua, and said, “Hail, Rabbi!”
and kissed him. Yeshua said to him, “Friend, why are
you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Yeshua,
and took him.
Mark 14:10,11,43-45: Yehudah from K’riot (Judas
Iscariot), who was one of the twelve, went away to the
chief priests, that he might deliver him to them. They,
when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him
money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver
him … Immediately, while he was still speaking, Yehudah
(Judas), one of the twelve, came–and with him a multitude
with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes,
and the elders. Now he who betrayed him had given them
a sign, saying, “Whoever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him,
and lead him away safely.” When he had come,
immediately he came to him, and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and
kissed him. They laid their hands on him, and seized him.
Messiah embezzled thirty pieces of silver
Prophecy:
זכריה / Zechariah 11:12,13: I said to them, “If you think
it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they
weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver. The YHWH
said to me, “Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that
I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver,
and threw them to the potter, in the house of the YHWH.
Coming true:
Mattityahu / Matthew 26:14,15: Then one of the twelve,
who was called Yehudah from K’riot (Judas Iscariot), went
to the chief priests, and said, “What are you willing to give
me, that I should deliver him to you?” They weighed out
for him thirty pieces of silver.
Mark 14:10,11: Yehudah from K’riot (Judas Iscariot), who
was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that
he might deliver him to them. They, when they heard it,
were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought
how he might conveniently deliver him.
Mattityahu / Matthew 27:3-10: Then Yehudah (Judas),
who betrayed him, when he saw that Yeshua was
condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty
pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying,
“I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But
they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.” He threw
down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed.
He went away and hanged himself. The chief priests took
the pieces of silver, and said, “It’s not lawful to put them
into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.” They took
counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury
strangers in. Therefore that field was called “The Field of
Blood” to this day. Then that which was spoken through
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
“They took the thirty pieces of silver, The price of him
upon whom a price had been set, Whom some of the
children of Yisra’el (Israel) priced, And they gave them
for the potter’s field, As the YHWH commanded me.”
Messiah's betrayer service given to another
Prophecy:
תהלים / Psalms 109:8: Let his (deceiver) days be few.
Let another take his office.
Coming true:
Acts 1:18-20: Now this man obtained a field with the
reward for his wickedness, and falling headlong, his
body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out. It
became known to everyone who lived in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) that in their language that field was called
‘Hakal-Dama (Aceldama),’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
For it is written in the book of Tehillim (Psalms), ‘Let his
habitation be made desolate, let no one dwell therein,’
and, ‘Let another take his office.’

Mattityahu / Matthew 26:59-61: Now the chief priests,
the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony
against Yeshua, that they might put him to death; and
they found none. Even though many false witnesses
came forward, they found none. But at last two false
witnesses came forward, and said, “This man said,
‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build
it in three days.'”
Messiah silence accusers
Prophecy:
תהלים / Psalms 38:13,14: But I, as a deaf man, don’t
hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, In whose mouth
are no reproofs.
ישעיה / Isaiah 53:7: He was oppressed, yet when he was
afflicted he didn’t open his mouth; as a lamb that is led to
the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is
mute, so he didn’t open his mouth.
Coming true:
Mattityahu / Matthew 26:62,63: The Chief Priests stood
up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this
that these testify against you?” But Yeshua held his
shalom (peace)…
Mattityahu / Matthew 27:12-14: When he was accused
by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things
they testify against you?” He gave him no answer, not
even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
Messiah beaten and spit upon Him
Prophecy:
ישעיה / Isaiah 50:6: I gave my back to the strikers, and
my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair; I didn’t hide
my face from shame and spitting.
Coming true:
Mattityahu / Matthew 26:67: Then they spit in his face
and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him.
Mark 14:65: Some began to spit on him, and to cover
his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him,
“Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms
of their hands.
Misplaced anger towards the Messiah
Prophecy:
תהלים 69:5 / Psalms 69:4: Those who hate me without
a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who
want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are
mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.
תהלים / Psalms 109:3-5: They have also surrounded
me with words of hatred, and fought against me without
a cause. In return for my love, they are my adversaries;
but I am in prayer. They have rewarded me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
Coming true:
Yochanan / John 15:23-25: He who hates me, hates my
Father also. If I hadn’t done among them the works which
no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now have
they seen and also hated both me and my Father. But this
happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was
written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
Messiah's vicarious suffering
Prophecy:
ישעיה / Isaiah 53:4-11: Surely he has borne our
sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered
him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was
pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our
iniquities; the punishment that brought our shalom was
on him; and by his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep
have gone astray; everyone has turned to his own way;
and the YHWH has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He
was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open
his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a
sheep that before its shearers is mute, so he didn’t open
his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken
away; and as for his generation, who among them
considered that he was cut off out of the land of the
living for the disobedience of my people to whom the
stroke was due? They made his grave with the wicked,
and with a rich man in his death; although he had done
no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it
pleased the YHWH to bruise him; he has put him to grief:
when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall
see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure
of the YHWH shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of
the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the
knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify
many; and he shall bear their iniquities.
Coming true:
Mattityahu / Matthew 8:17: that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken through Yesha`yahu (Isaiah) the prophet,
saying: “He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.”
Romans 4:25: who was delivered up for our trespasses,
and was raised for our justification.
1 Corinthians 15:3: For I delivered to you first of all that
which I also received: that Messiah died for our sins
according to the Scriptures.
2 Corinthians 5:21: For him who knew no sin he made to
be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the
righteousness of God.
1 Kefa / 1 Peter 2:22-24: who did not sin, “neither was
deceit found in his mouth.” Who, when he was cursed,
didn’t curse back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but
committed himself to him who judges righteously; who
his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we,
having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose
stripes you were healed.
Messiah has been read numbered with the transgressors
Prophecy:
ישעיה / Isaiah 53:12: Therefore will I divide him a portion
with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;

made intercession for the transgressors.

robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand
and one on the left.

one on his right hand, and one on his left. The Scripture
was fulfilled, which says, “He was numbered with
transgressors.”

The Skull (Calvary), they crucified him there with the
criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
The Messiah is pierced

תהלים 22:17 / Psalms 22:16: For dogs have surrounded
me. A company of evil-doers have enclosed me. They
pierced my hands and my feet.
זכריה / Zechariah 12:10: I will pour on the house of
David, and on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, the spirit
of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me
whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him,
as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly
for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.
Coming true:
Yochanan / John 19:34,37: However one of the soldiers
pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and
water came out…Again another Scripture says, “They will
look on him whom they pierced.”
Yochanan / John 20:25-27: The other disciples therefore
said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them,
“Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put
my hand into his side, I will not believe.” After eight days
again his disciples were inside, and T’oma (Thomas) was
with them. Yeshua came, the doors being locked, and
stood in the midst, and said, “Shalom be to you.” Then
he said to T’oma (Thomas), “Reach here your finger, and
see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my
side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”
Revelation 1:7: Behold, he is coming with the clouds,
and every eye will see him, including those who pierced
him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even
so, Amen.
The Messiah is mocked
Prophecy:
תהלים 22:7-9 / Psalms 22:6-8: But I am a worm, and
no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their
lips. They shake their heads, saying, “He trusts in the
JHWH; Let him deliver him; Let him rescue him, since he
delights in him.”
תהלים 69:20,21 / Psalms 69:19,20: You know my
reproach, my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries
are all before you. Reproach has broken my heart, and
I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity,
but there was none; For comforters, but I found none.
תהלים / Psalms 109:25: I have also become a reproach
to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
Coming true:
Mattityahu / Matthew 27:39-44: Those who passed by
blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, “You
who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save
yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the
cross!” Likewise the Chief Priests also mocking, with the
scribes and the elders, said, “He saved others, but he can’t
save himself. If he is the King of Yisra’el, let him come
down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. He
trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him;
for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.'” The robbers also who
were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
Mark 15:29-32: Those who passed by blasphemed him,
wagging their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who destroy
the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself, and
come down from the cross!” Likewise, also the Chief
Priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said,
“He saved others. He can’t save himself. Let the Messiah,
the King of Yisra’el (Israel), now come down from the
cross, that we may see and believe him.” Those who were
crucified with him insulted him.
Bitter wine offered in the Messiah
Prophecy:
תהלים 69:22 / Psalms 69:21: They also gave me gall
for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
Coming true:
Mattityahu / Matthew 27:34: They gave him sour wine to
drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would
not drink.
Prays on behalf of the enemies of the Messiah
Prophecy:
ישעיה / Isaiah 53:12: Therefore will I divide him a portion
with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;
because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered
with the transgressors: yet he bore the sin of many, and made
intercession for the transgressors.
תהלים / Psalms 109:4: In return for my love, they are my
adversaries; but I am in prayer.

cast lots.
Yochanan / John 19:23,24: Then the soldiers, when they
had crucified Yeshua, took his garments and made four
parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the
coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast
lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture
might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments
among them. For my cloak they cast lots.” Therefore the
soldiers did these things.
Messiah's bones did not break
Prophecy:
שמות / Exodus 12:46: In one house shall it be eaten; you
shall not carry forth anything of the flesh abroad out of
the house; neither shall you break a bone of it.
תהלים 34:21 / Psalms 34:20: He protects all of his bones.
Not one of them is broken.
Coming true:
Yochanan / John 19:33: but when they came to Yeshua,
and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his
legs.
Messiah's tomb at the rich
Prophecy:
ישעיה / Isaiah 53:9: They made his grave with the wicked,
and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no
violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Coming true:
Mattityahu / Matthew 27:57-60: When evening had come,
a rich man from Ramatayim (Arimathaea), named Yosef
(Joseph), who himself was also Yeshua’s disciple came.

Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up. Yosef
(Joseph) took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen
cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn
out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of
the tomb, and departed.

he told you when he was still in the Galil, saying that the
Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful
men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again?
1 Corinthians 15:3,4: …that Messiah died for our sins
according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he
was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.
Messiah increase
Prophecy:

You have led away captives. You have received gifts
among men…
תהלים / Psalms 110:1: The YHWH says to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies your
footstool for your feet.
Coming true:
Luke 24:50,51: He led them out as far as Beit-Anyah
(Bethany), and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
It happened, while he blessed them, that he withdrew from
them, and was carried up into heaven.
Acts 1:9: When he had said these things, as they were
looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out
of their sight.
Acts 2:33-35: Being therefore exalted by the right hand
of God, and having received from the Father the promise
of the Holy Ghost, he has poured out this, which you now
see and hear. For David didn’t ascend into the heavens,
but he says himself, ‘The YHWH said to my Lord, “Sit by
my right hand, Until I make your enemies a footstool for
your feet.”‘
Ephesians 4:8-10: Therefore he says, “When he ascended
on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.”
Now this, “He ascended,” what is it but that he also first
descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who
descended is the one who also ascended far above all
the heavens, that he might fill all things.
Colossians 2:15: having stripped the principalities and
the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing
over them in it.
Amen
