Mashiach’s work

works mashiach  |  Mashiachs work

The prayer you are about to read is found in a Machzor, a Rosh Hashanah / Yom Kippur prayer book. This prayer is found in several Machzor’s (Festival Prayer Books), put out by the Hebrew Publishing Company from the years 1928 to 1931, as well as one from the 13th century. This 13th century Machzor, is in the Hamburg State Library, therefore this prayer is Ancient! In this prayer, we read some wonderful things about the person of the Messiah (Anointed):

"Our righteous Anointed is departed from us: horror has seized us, and we have none to justify us. He has borne the yoke of our iniquities, and our transgression, and is wounded because of our transgression. He bears our sins on his shoulders, that we may find pardon for our iniquities. We shall be healed by the wound, at the time that eternal will create the Messiah as a new creature, O bring him up from the circle of the earth. Raise him up from Seir, to assemble us the second time on mount Lebanon, by the hand of Yinon.

What we have in this wonderful prayer is a commentary on Yeshayahu / Isaiah, chapter 53. As we look closely at this awesome ancient prayer, we can see the beliefs of the ancient Sages and Rabbis. These Sages and Rabbis believed the Messiah had an assignment. Let us look at that assignment in this prayer.

First we can see that Messiah would then clearly depart after an initial appearance: "Our righteous anointed is departed."  The holy Messiah would then be someone who would vindicate the people: "horror has seized us, and we have none to justify us."  The holy Messiah would be wounded, we must ask why? Because of our sins (transgression). "He has borne the yoke of our iniquities, and our transgression, and is wounded because of our transgression." Then we read that by "his wound" we would be healed, when he reappears as a "new creature." "We shall be healed by the wound, at the time that eternal will create the Messiah as a new creature, O bring him up from the circle of the earth." (The resurrection)  Now the prayer is clear, it would be for "a second time." "Raise him up from Seir (as Obadiah prophesied, Jacob’s descendants will come to Mount Seir to render judgment against Esau’s descendants."). Then Mashiach will assemble us the second time on mount Lebanon (Lebanon is an Hebrew idiom, or code name, for the Temple of God.), by the hand of Yinon (Yinnon, The name Yinnon [Yinon] is one of the ancient Rabbinical names designated for the Messiah of Israel.)."

Indeed, Mashiach has come, He died, and ressurected to become our Kapora (the one who draw us near to God) as stated in Yeshayahu 53:5 “But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed.”

ישעיהו פרק נג והוא מחלל מפשענו מדכא מעונתינו מוסר שלומנו עליו ובחברתו נרפא-לנו:

It is time to behold Melech HaMashiach, the Pierced One (Zecharya 12:10), and do Teshuvah (repent) as He has commanded us.  את
