KOSSOVER REBBE SHLIT"A PLEADING FOR MOSHIACH - אדמו״ר מ׳קאסוב שליט״א בלימוד ותחנונים לילות אצל הכותל 

Let’s visit some other stories briefly that also explain these ideas We may be able to find the most vivid in the story of Abraham and Isaac. God gave Abraham a son in his old age, and then told Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. This story illustrates the great compassion of God, and embodies the idea of substitutionary sacrifice. Let’s visit the text (found in Genesis 22): “Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance. Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.” Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together. Then they came to the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the Lord it will be provided.” Notice how the text provides clues as to the meaning of the story. The story is about faith. Even before the act was about to be committed Abraham believed that God would provide the offering Himself, saying: “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” (8). Just as Abraham was about to make the sacrifice himself, God stopped him. The Lord showed Abraham how that even though he was required to give up all he held dear it was insufficient, for God had provided Himself the Sacrifice as Abraham had believed. So now imagine that Abraham is hearing this from the Angel of the Lord, and as he is hearing what God is revealing “Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns” (13). The Ram, an innocent being caught in the thicket by his own horns. In the ancient Middle East the horn has always been the symbol for power. So this animal was caught in the thicket, likely thorny, by his own horns. This symbolizes the coming Messiah and the story of the fall in many ways. One that the human sacrifice was insufficient, God had to provide the sacrifice. Two was that there was the innocent animal substituted in the place of the guilty. Three was that through its own power the animal was caught in the thicket. Four is the thicket represents the curse of God found in Genesis 3:18, a curse the Messianic hero takes Himself. He bore the curse, and the symbol of that curse is found in a crown of thorns that the roman soldiers placed on Jesus before His crucifixion. This points to the fact the Messiah is destined to pay the penalty of the righteous wrath of God and bears the symbol of God’s righteous curse upon mankind, and even bears the symbol of that curse upon His own head. Now we could visit the story of Passover in Exodus 12 where the Passover Lamb represents the blood sacrifice of Messiah and God declares “when I see the blood I will pass over you” (13). We could also visit Moses and the Serpent in Numbers 21, where poisonous vipers bite the Israelites and Moses is told “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live.” (8-9). There are many others in the Old Testament to illustrate through metaphor or word pictures how the Messiah was necessarily the payment for our sins. But I think the following explicit Prophesy, found in Isaiah 53 and written more than 700 years B.C., develops this idea best: “Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.” “Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.” “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the living For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due? His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.” “But the Lord was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand. As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities. Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors.” - Isaiah 53 There is nothing that we can say that will exceed that. We will visit more prophesies and how they could only have been fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth in more detail in order to address specific questions. But I think its sufficient to declare that if one continues to refuse this knowledge the book of Hebrews deals with this best. Please see the first century argument that Jesus is Messiah from a Jewish Christian. The book of Hebrews explains the Jewish Messiah better than I ever could.

Now consider a few other compelling arguments we will make explicitly. First the teaching then the events of His life. His teaching emphasized man’s inability to reach God on his own, and revealed the Law applied to the motives of the human heart and not only to action. Messiah also taught that a man must be born again. These revelations were predicted by the Old Testament. “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:31-34 Jesus explained this transformation in detail in the most insightful sermon in human history: “Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things? Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony. If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.” John 3:1-21 This is also reminiscent of the Lord teaching the New Covenant in Ezekiel 36: “I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God. And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses” Ezekiel 36:25-29 To find more of Jesus’ teachings in detail, refer to Matthew 5-7 in the most famous sermon in human history, called “The Sermon on the Mount” Remember, “I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command Him. It shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words which He shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him” Deut. 18:18-20 One is also to carefully consider the timing and arrangement of the arrival of the Messiah. His birthplace, the surrounding events and the subsequent destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. First is the birthplace, prophetically foretold in Micah 5:2 “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity.” - Micah 5:2 Compare to Bethlehem birth stories found in Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2. Born of a virgin: “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14 Compare to virgin birth in Luke 1:26-38, Matthew 1:18-25 Jesus is known for His wisdom, healing, parables, and perfect life. See Isaiah 11:2, 49:6, 53:9. Psalm 78:2. Jesus, as Messiah, enters Jerusalem to purge it while the Second Temple was standing: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Zechariah 9:9 “For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.” Psalm 69:9 “And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,” says the Lord of hosts.” Malachi 3:1 “After He had said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of it.’” So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” They said, “The Lord has need of it.” They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it. As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road. As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen, shouting: “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!” When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side, and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.” Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling, saying to them, “It is written, ‘And My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a robbers’ den.” And He was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him, and they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.” Jesus was betrayed by a friend for 30 pieces of silver. See Zechariah 11:12-13 cf. Matt. 27:1-7

Messiah was rejected by the leaders of Israel, condemned, mocked, beaten, and executed by crucifixion according to the plan of God. “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief corner stone. This is the Lord’s doing; It is marvelous in our eyes.” Psalm 118:22 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.” Genesis 3:15 “the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing” Daniel 9:26 “By oppression and judgment He was taken away” Isaiah 53:8 “Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.” Isaiah 53:4-6 ‘For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet; I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me. They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.” -Psalm 22:16 “Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, And against the man, My Associate,” Declares the Lord of hosts. “Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; And I will turn My hand against the little ones.” -Zechariah 13:7 Consider the striking parallels found in Mark 15:12-38 “Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Him whom you call the King of the Jews?” They shouted back, “Crucify Him!” But Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify Him!” Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified. The soldiers took Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they called together the whole Roman cohort. They dressed Him up in purple, and after twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on Him; and they began to acclaim Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” They kept beating His head with a reed, and spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him. After they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they *led Him out to crucify Him. They pressed into service a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), to bear His cross. Then they *brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. They tried to give Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. And they crucified Him, and divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take. It was the third hour when they crucified Him. The inscription of the charge against Him read, “THE KING OF THE JEWS.” They crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left. [And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with transgressors.”] Those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself, and come down from the cross!” In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself. Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him. When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour. At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Behold, He is calling for Elijah.” Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down.” And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last. And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” Jesus was then Resurrected according to Messianic Prophesy: “But the Lord was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days” Isaiah 53:10 “The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” Psalm 110:1 “For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.” Psalm 16:10 “The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.” Matthew 28:5-7 “the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” -Matthew 28:16-20 “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. “You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.” Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.” And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” Revelation 5:9-13 Jesus also claimed to be the Messiah: “He asked His disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” they replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” He asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven” -Matthew 16:13-17 “The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.” -John 4:25-26 “The High Priest asked Him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” “I am,” said Jesus "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” -Mark 14:61-62 “I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. “And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.” Daniel 7:13-14 "He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself." -Luke 24:25-27 To find out more visit SonsofGalilee.org

You have no idea what you're talking about. Neither do you have the proper understanding of Adam and Eve nor of Binding of Isaac. I suggest you strongly to study the original Hebrew text with CLASSIC COMMENTARIES instead of publishing your christian crap under OUR videos.

The Torah says NOT ONE WORD ABOUT JESUS! Moreover he fulfilled NONE of the Messianic prophecies. The great Sages, with whom Jesus did not even rate, all rejected Jesus for the fraud that he was. Jews believe in the One True God and rejects idol worship, such as the worship of Jesus, a human being, which is one of the worst sins in the Torah. The true Messiah fortold in the Torah has yet to come. And by the way, Isaiah ch 11 says precisely what will happen when the Messiah comes. There will be peace throughout the world, etc, None of that happened at all in Jesus' time. Also 2:4 He will judge among the nations. Ezekiel 37: 26-28 Temple will be rebuilt . . everyone will believe in God. Was there an ingathering of the exiles then?! Actually, the opposite happened! The Jews went into exile after he died! The Temple was destroyed, not built! No resurrection, but the opposite, many Jews were killed by the Romans. These are the key Messianic prophecies, all of which he failed to fulfill. Moreover, the Torah NEVER speaks of a 'second coming'. It's the refuge for a false messiah by people who insist on believing hos false claims though he fulfilled nothing, saying he'll do it next time around. My sister-in law can also be the Messiah then. The burden of proof is on the Christains. But there is no proof, just some contrived misrepresentations and twisting of various verses, the most famous the corruption of Isaiah 7:14, switching 'young woman' (almah in Hebrew) for 'virgin'. Even in your bible Mark 9:1 it says: "the kingdom of God has come with power" They beleived that this was the Messiah's coming; no second coming balony; Mark 13:30 "the generation will not pass till all this has happened!" Doesn't sound like they beleived in a second chance. If you cant see the truth here, you're hopeless.

we are all sisters and brothers. What you said is not what Yeshuah would have said, he was a Torah keeping Jew. In order for Gd to come to earth we must be pure and not be angry with each other

I'm not angry.I love the Jewish people and pray for them every day.

Fool! Learning Torah is a general term for learning anything. And he knew Isaiah 53 much better than you that for sure it did not refer to your idol.

And jesus, an ignorant jew, fits none of Isaiah 53 if you care to read the rest of Isaiah, where it is clear that the 'servant' is the Jewish people; see 41:8-9; 49:3; 52:13, and many other places. Saying it refers to J is like reading only one chapter in a book of 66 chapters and saying you know what it means. It clearly refers to the jewish people and nothing to do with Jesus

Wrong, he has not come. The Torah says NOT ONE WORD ABOUT JESUS! The great Sages, with whom Jesus did not even rate, all rejected Jesus for the fraud that he was.

And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26 Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28 Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,[a] for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.” 29 Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. 30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel,[b] saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”
