Jesus the Mashiach: Understanding the Messiah in Scripture
Every Christian knows the meaning of the Messiah: the helper or savior sent by God. The name Jesus means “God helps” or “God has helped,” derived from the Hebrew name Jeshua. Did you know that Jesus is also a descendant of King David?
Many believe that Jesus never truly died. As he predicted during his trial with the Roman authorities, he was fully aware of what would happen. He later said he would come “on clouds,” showing that he is untouchable and beyond human limitations. He also declared that he sits at the right hand of God, symbolizing even greater strength and authority.
The life and teachings of Jesus offer important lessons for Christians today. The more one follows him, the more they may face challenges or persecution. However, these trials are meant to strengthen believers, making them more resilient, confident, creative, and empowered. Through Jesus’ example, Christians learn how faith can lead to untouchable inner strength and divine guidance.
Conclusion:
By studying the lessons of Jesus, Christians can cultivate confidence, resilience, and spiritual power, drawing inspiration from the Messiah’s enduring strength and divine mission.
Some might ask, “How do I know all this?” I am a devout Jew, Christian, and Muslim. And I know my religions and world history quite well. Although “religions” is actually a bad word. The Romans misused that word. Because all religions were established, created, or manipulated by the Romans. God did indeed send the books through prophets. But the world powers, or rather the Romans, had to conceal the fundamental essence of God’s messages, or books, in order to sever or at least minimize the connection between humanity and the Creator.
Because only in this way could they continue to exert their power. Because a person with strong faith is difficult, if not impossible, to control. Because they will not be seduced by money, consumption, luxury, status, and material possessions. And the Romans controlled all these goods, offering them to people in exchange for slave labor. Yes, you heard right. We are trapped in slave labor if we don’t have Jesus. Because he sets us free from all these things. That’s why he had to be eliminated. The Romans wanted to kill him, but they couldn’t.
That’s what the Quran says, and I believe it from a logical point of view. For God sends a savior to the world to free humanity from slavery. He would never allow him to be killed. Messiah means God’s savior or helper in Hebrew. Much about religion and world history can be deduced by translating words from their original languages. But I can also say from personal experience that Jesus set me free. I no longer work a typical 9-to-5 job with 30 days of vacation that have to be requested or applied for. As a freelancer, I can now take vacations or work whenever I want. And I achieved this with Jesus. Without him, it wouldn’t have been possible. But I’ve also gained freedoms through him. I’ve rejected bad habits. I’ve grown personally. And so on and so forth… But it must also be said that one must be willing to carry one’s cross. For one will face disadvantages. But the more one is disadvantaged, the more one must follow Jesus and become more like him in order to overcome the difficulties. For the Romans are back in power.
After their downfall, they secretly rebuilt their empire and now call themselves Greece, Italy, Spain, Germany, Turkey, England, and so on. All the countries of the world belong to them. But don’t worry. God prophesied this in the Quran: “The Romans are defeated. But they will soon return to power. And it will not be long before God again triumphs and leaves the earth to the believers and the righteous.” What happened? After the Romans tried to kill Jesus, God sent one natural disaster after another upon the empire until finally only rubble and ruins remained. This is all very evident in Turkey, Greece, and the Middle East. And now we are in the phase where the Romans are back in power. It remains to be seen how long it will take before everything falls apart again. This is also what the Bible prophesies. “No stone will rest upon another stone. Everything will be destroyed. And afterwards, God will bring the good people back to life.”
Quran about Jesus ( Isa Mesih )
“Whoever does not follow Jesus remains a slave of the Kafirun,” says the Quran. (Al-Imran 55)
Kafirun means disbeliver, wicked or denier.
How can it be that the Quran commands us to follow Jesus? And why is he even mentioned there? Well, we need to delve deeper into the story. What is the Quran? What is the Gospel, and what is the Torah? They are all books from God, and essentially, Jesus is first prophesied in the Jewish book. Then he actually comes, and miracles and deeds occur, and these events are summarized in the Gospel. Finally, God sends down a new book after Jesus and his followers have been silenced. Through Muhammad, God brings Jesus back into people’s memories, or rather, he practically resurrects him. Although he was never truly dead; he was only portrayed as such. Which powers orchestrated this will be explained in this book. I can already tell you: it was the Romans.
A professor at the University once asked how often Jesus appears in the Quran. No one really knew. All the estimates were off. He is mentioned directly and indirectly over 100 times in the Quran.
He is described as:
- The Messiah
- Son of Mary
- The Word of God
- A miracle healer
- Sinless and speaking as an infant
- Performing many miracles
- Jesus who received the Gospel
- Spirit of God
- The healer of the Sick
- Spoke as an infant in the manger
- The sinless One
Even his miraculous birth is described in detail. So, all of this is not in contradiction with the Bible.
There are only two points that contradict mainstream Christianity. The Quran states:
- 1. That he is not the biological son of God.
- 2. That he is not God as part of the Trinity.
But these two points have always been criticized by Christians, and even today there are Christian denominations that disagree with them. The Roman Catholic Church had to convene several councils to discuss these points and ultimately establish them. This took place over several decades, if not centuries. Incidentally, the last council was held in Nicaea, in Turkey (now Iznik). Some scholars even claim that Islam was initially a Christian group and later developed into a sole religion. There might be some truth to this, as the Quran very often mentions that one should and must believe in the Bible.
