“Indeed, if you were believing Mosheh, you would have been believing me, for he wrote about me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my sayings?”
John 5:46-47, mjlt
The Jews sought to kill their own Messiah. Though the crowd was motivated by Yeshua’s supposed violation of the Shabbat, their rage was not truly founded on a love of God or His words. On the contrary, it was fueled by their disbelief of what God had spoken in the very Scriptures they appeared to defend—the Torah. Moses wrote about Yeshua many times, prophesying with symbolism, allusions, and even with plain speech. By looking at just a few examples, we can see how Moses illuminates some of the most important aspects of Yeshua’s life and work as our Messiah.
