The
evidence is overwhelming. Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel, promised by
God. If you were
to put this case before a trial judge and jury, you have easily satisfied the
burden of proof. There are over 50 promises used in this
presentation. Many offered more than one account, that our Messiah has
fulfilled God's promises as revealed to God's prophets centuries before.
All God's Promises revealed to His Prophets are at least 400 years prior to
their fulfillment by Jesus. Some promises go back to the time of Moses,
over 1400
years before their fulfillment. In
addition to the testimonial accounts presented here, you also have eyewitness
accounts of His resurrection in that over 500 people witnessed, and therefore could testify to
His resurrection: "And
that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that He was seen of
above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this
present, but some have fallen asleep. And that He was seen of James and
then all the apostles. And last of all He was seen of me also, as of one
born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet
to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by
the grace of God I am what I am: And His grace which was bestowed upon me
was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly that they all: yet not I, but the
grace of God which was with me." 1 Corinthians 15:6 - 10 Can
you truly discredit over 500 witnesses that could testify to seeing our Messiah
after His death and burial? In
fact, it wasn't just a passing occurrence. Jesus spent forty days after
His resurrection teaching His disciples about the things pertaining
to the Kingdom of God: "Until
the day in which He was taken up, after that He through the Holy Spirit had
given commandments unto the apostles whom He had chosen: To whom also He
showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of
them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of
God" Acts 1:2 - 3 Who
