What Did You Expect?... Yom Kippur

Be honest as you think, what did you expect the Messiah to do or to be. Is The Messiah to be a ruler of kingdoms, bringing peace for the nation, a political genius? G-d's word tells of The Messiah's first coming to redeem our souls from hell and make us right with G-d . Isaiah 7:14 states "Therefore the L-rd himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." (Immanuel means G-d with us) The second coming of Messiah would be to reign a thousand years. One cannot enter the kingdom without receiving the King first.The prophet Isaiah also tells why Immanuel was born.In Isaiah 53:10, Isaiah clearly says Immanuel was the blood sacrifice offered for man's sin "Yet it pleased the L-RD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the L-RD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many: for he shall bear their iniquities. Not only would The Messiah's days be prolonged, that is Messiah would be raised from the dead, but also by his knowledge would many be justified, when one knows who the Messiah is and receives the sacrifice to cover their sins,one is justified before G-d.
