Is Jesus in the Torah, or are Christians guilty of twisting Hebrew Scripture to fit a foreign religion? One of the most common Jewish objections to Jesus is that the first five books of the Bible—Genesis through Deuteronomy—never mention Him by name. On the surface, this challenge to Christianity seems airtight; if the Messiah isn't found in Judaism's most sacred text, then the New Testament claims might just be religious appropriation. But before we accept that conclusion, we need to ask a deeper question about how ancient Jews actually interpreted the Hebrew Bible and if the Christian method is actually consistent with Second Temple Judaism.
In this episode, we explore the hidden patterns and Messianic prophecies that act as a foundation for the entire biblical story. We dive into the difference between "name tags" and "typology" and examine whether Yeshua fits the trajectory set by the Torah itself. We also look at historical Jewish interpretation methods found in the Dead Sea Scrolls to see if the Christian way of reading the Old Testament is actually more Jewish than critics admit. We’re uncovering the truth about the Jewish Messiah and the patterns that point to Him.
