No one had power to kill Yehoshua/Yeshua except by the will of the Father in Heaven. As mentioned in other messages, Yehoshua only did what the Father told Him to do. Dying on the cross was the perfect will of the Father because by His death and resurrection He would save the Jewish People and the whole world from their/our sin.
I get upset when I hear Gentiles saying that the
Jews kill “Jesus.” Yes, they handed Him over to be crucified because He had to
die. Someone had to betray Him, and Yeshua predicted it. The betrayer was Judas one of His apostles.
(See Mattithyahu/Matthew 26:20 -25; Luqas 22:
48)
He was betrayed for 30 Pieces of silver
Zekharyah
11:11-13 So it was broken on that day. Thus the poor of the flock , who were
watching me, knew that it was the word of Yehovah, Then I said to them, “If it
is agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain.” So they weighed
out for my wages thirty pieces of silver. And Yehovah said to me, “Throw it to
the potter”- that princely price they set on Me. So I took the thirty pieces of
silver and threw them into the house of Yehovah for the potter.”
Mattithyahu
27:3-9 Then Yahudah/Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was
remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests
and elders, saying, “I have sinned my betraying innocent blood” And they said,
“What is that to us: you see to it!” The he threw down the pieces of silver in
the temple and departed, and went and
hanged himself. But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, “It is
not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood.”
And they consulted together and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury
strangers in. Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this
day. 9 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Zekharyah the prophet, saying, “And
they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom
they of the children of Israel priced, and gave them for the potter’s field, as
Yehovah directed me.”
Someone had to condemn Him to death, and had to die
by crucifixion, according to the Scriptures. The following is Yehovah speaking
of Himself.
Tehillim/Psalm
22:16-17 “For dogs surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked
has enclosed Me, they pierced My hands and My feet; 17 I can count all My bones. They look and stare
at Me.
Our
Jewish Mashiach is Elohim, and knows the end from the beginning.
Zekharyah
12:10-11 “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of
Yerushalayim the Spirit of Grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for
Him as one mourns for his only Son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a
firstborn. In that day there shall be a great morning in Yerushalayim.”
At the cross they divided His garments
18
They divide My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.
Also fulfilled: Yochanan/John 19:23 Then the soldiers, when
they had crucified Yeshua, took His garments and made four parts, to each
soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from
the top in one piece. 24 They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not tear
it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be.” That the Scripture might be
fulfilled which says: They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing
they cast lots.”
He had to
fulfill all the scriptures concerning His first coming. But please, o Gentile, if
you are blaming the Jewish people for killing Him, you are deceiving yourself,
for you are the one who crucified Him, and continue to add to your guilt every
time you sin. All of us are guilty of His death, because all of us are sinners.
Our hands are filled with blood.
Yeshayahu/Isaiah
59:3 For Your hands are defiled with
blood, and your fingers with iniquity; You lips have spoken lies, Your tongue
has muttered perversity.
Yehoshua forgave those who crucified Him. From the
cross He cried out “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do.”
As already mentioned He had to die for us all. Yehovah
no longer needed animal sacrifices that could not remove the sin, but He gave
Himself up to be our Sacrifice. He became our true everlasting Atonement!
Yeshua became Man to die on the cross in order to
redeem mankind. When you read the Brit Chadashah you will learn that they tried
to kill him by stoning, but could not because He had to die in the way that He
would shed His own Blood which is His life. This blood is the payment for our
redemption. He paid the price for our sins in FULL!
Yeshayahu/Isaiah
53:1 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of Yehovah been
revealed? 2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root
out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; and when we see Him, There is
not beauty that we should desire Him.
3
He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not
esteem Him; 4 Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we
esteemed Him stricken, smitten by Elohim, and afflicted.
5
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities;
the chastisement for our shalom, was upon Him, and by His stripes we are
healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his
own way; And Yehovah has laid on Him the iniquity of us
all. 7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His
mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its
shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth.
8
He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who will declare His
generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions
of My people He was stricken. 9 And they made His grave with the wicked-but
with the rich at this death, because He had done no violence, nor was any
deceit in His mouth. 10 Yet it pleased Yehovah to bruise Him; He has put Him to
grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He
shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of Yehovah shall prosper in His hand. 11
He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My
righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. 12
therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the
spoil with the strong, because He poured out His soul unto death, and He was
numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made
intercession of the transgressors.
Yeshayahu saw the Crucifixion long before it took
place. It was Yehovah who sent His only Ben/Son to be our substitute. The penalty
for our sin is death, and Yeshua did it for you and me. He paid the price in
full. He is your and my Jewish Mashiach!
He is our Brother and our Savior! You must put your trust in Him and
find peace, love and joy, as you never could attain any other way.
He said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, No one can
come to the Father except through Me.” Yochanan 14:6
Finally I now share His own prophecies concerning
His death and resurrection.
The Jews wanted to see a sign in order to believe
Him.
“And
evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given
to it except the sign of the prophet
Yonah. 40 For as Yonah was three days and there nights in the belly of the
great fish , so will the Son of Man be three days and there nights in the heart
of the earth.” Mattithyahu/Matthew 12:39:40
Mattithyahu
17:22 “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men, 23 and
they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up.”
There are many references of His prophecies and I
cannot write them all. Also I include one reference of this resurrection and
going back to Heaven. He appeared to Miryam first when she came to the empty
tomb.
Yochanan
20: 15 Yeshua said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping ‘ Whom are you
seeking?” She, supposing Him to be the
gardener, said to Him, “Si , if You have carried Him away, tell me where you
have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” Yeshua said to her, “Miryam! She
turned and said to Him, Rabboni! Yeshua
said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My
Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and
Your father, and to My Elohim and your Elohim.’”
Ma’aseh/Acts
1:4-11
Please get a copy of the complete Bible and read the
Brit Chadashah. If you do you will be convinced that Yehoshua is indeed your
Mashiach. Thank you for reading this message. May the love of the Father fill
your heart as you discover your Jewish Mashiach. He will answer all your
questions, and you will know Him personally. Yield your life to Him, and He
will write your name in the Lamb’s Book of Life forever.
Shalom
Deborah
