In our prayers, we ask for the coming of Mashiach and the advent of the Redemption more than 100 times every day. But do we really think through to what we are asking?

Are we ready to be changed by King Messiah and his Torah (Mashiach does not come to abolish Torah but to teach the outmost deep understanding of it). Indeed, it is one of the fundamental principles of the Torah, for there must ultimately be an era in which the Torah will be observed perfectly. We do long, yearn, dream, teach, do, and procliam the coming of King Messiah, by doing so, it does hasten the revelation of King Messiah to the world.

Early in his discussion of the subject of Mashiach in the Mishneh Torah, the Rambam writes: Whoever does not believe in him, or does not await his coming, denies not only [the statements of] the other prophets, but also [those of] the Torah and of Moshe, our teacher, for the Torah attests to his coming, stating, "And God will bring back your captivity." (Mishneh Torah, Hilchos Melachim 11:1, Devarim 30:3)

“What special Divine light are the Jewish people yearning for? For the light of Mashiach (Messiah), as it is written [Bereshit 1:4], "And God saw the light that it is good." This teaches us that God foresaw Mashiach and His activities even before the Creation of the world.  (Pesikta Rabati, ch. 37)

Most Jewish people are afraid of the Light of Mashiach, since they are ignorant of such wonderful light which only emanates from the Hebrew Scriptures concerning our King Messiah (HaShem spoke to the Naviim / Prophets, concerning Mashiach, making any other document only a commentary). The Light of the Hebrew Scriptures dispels darkness like nothing else, so the light of Mashiach dispels myth from truth like nothing else!

So let’s find out more about Mashiach. Let us ask some questions concerning the idea of Mashiach in the Jewish mind set:

1- Is Mashiach the ultimate hope of Israel or not?
2- Is the coming of Mashiach your hope?
3- Is Mashiach greater then Moshe? Why?
4- Mashiach + Judaism =?
5- Judaism + Mashiach =?
6- Judaism + Rashi + Rambam + Tanach + Mashiach =?
7- Tanach + Mashiach =?
8- Do you really want Mashiach Now?
9- Are you willing to stand out for Mashiach?

The answers to all this questions is that Mashiach is the ultimate hope of Israel; He brings the good news of salvation and peace (Yeshayahu / Isaiah 52:7). He is greater than Moshe rabbeinu (our rabbi), since He reveals the inner workings of the Torah. He is spoken of in the Tanach (everything else is commentary) He is the one who restores us back to the garden of Eden state (to a perfect world). 

Nothing else compares in holiness to our holy Mashiach. He dispels myth, and brings truth. Indeed Mashiach is more a than just stories, He is a person who entered time, the chosen one of God. The second Adam (Adam Sheni), the one after Moshe.

Mashiach is close at hand: Chevlei Mashiach” means the “Birthpangs of the Messiah.” The Tanach teaches that the arrival of Mashiach is accompanied by birth pangs. This is also sometimes referred to as the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble.” The time appointed by God for the Messianic redemption is a closely guarded secret. Nonetheless, we are offered many hints to recognize its proximity: when certain conditions come about, await the imminent coming of Mashiach. We believe it is close at hand!

Longing for Mashiach: Have you longed for His Salvation / Yeshuah? Have you sought with all your might through the Hebrew Scriptures what HaShem, the God of Israel says concerning the Holy Mashiach?  Have you ever wondered the historical reasons why Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua was rejected as the Mashiach. The fact is that the people of Israel did not reject Maran Yeshua as the holy Mashiach, the Jewish power structure (leadership) in the Hekal (Temple) did for their own gain (We all know that for you to be a Kohen Gadol / High Priest you need to be a direct desendant of Aaron, but the Kohen Gadol 2000 years ago was bought for a price. Not a kasher Kohen). They rejected Mashiach, rejecting the ultimate hope for Israel for profit! We say in the amidah prayer: “Ki li’shuatcha Kivinu kol Hayom” “For your Salvation we do long all day long.”  Did they really long for His Yeshuah / Salvation?   Have you long for His Yeshuah?

התורה The Torah is the interface between the Infinite and creation. On the outside, it speaks the language of humankind. On the inside is depth without end. Grasp either end and you have nothing. Grasp both and you have G-d Himself, and find the knowledge of  Mashiach! Read the Hebrew Bible find Mashiach!

Let us study more concerning Mashiach, the more we know the better we can prepare to welcome our returning King!
