Since Y’shua is on every page of the Torah it is no wonder why Messianic Jews are considered more Orthodox than the Orthodox Jews.

The Talmud puts it like this “…all the prophets have only prophesied concerning the days of Messiah!” (Sanhedrin XXXIV. Col. 2)

Ezra, Rashi, Kimchi, Abarbanel have always taught a personal Messiah as taught in the scriptures.

Now this raises a interesting question "Why do most Jews today acknowledge and respect these old sages and reject what they taught?"

Isa 52:7  How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, proclaiming shalom, bringing good news of good things, announcing salvation and saying to Tziyon, “Your God is King!”

Y'shua lived the Higher Standard that he taught, actually fulfilling  each stroke and dot of the law and prophets. The Saviour said, "Your righteousness must exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and the Pharisees." This is the standard of righteousness that only Y'shua could provide himself through His refusal to compromise Torah. This is the righteousness God imputes to us, if only we believe in Him as our source.

Paul through his revelation from God got it. He was blameless, although, (He realized he was a whited sepulchre) and the only remedy for his spiritual death, was to be born again into Christ by accepting Him as The atonement. Through the Holy Spirit we realize our own hypocrisy,
our striving for our own righteousness, and forgetting God's righteousness. At first conviction, then comfort, as we finally see Christ and His great great love for us.


Why do some Gentiles today acknowledge and accept Y'shua as a good man and teacher, yet do not believe He is God's Son?


Psalm 1
[1] Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[2] But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
