A Jewish man finds Jesus in the Old Testament
“听好了:我整个世界观都建立在‘耶稣不是我们的弥赛亚’这个事实之上。” [00:00:00]
“接着我开始阅读我们这边圣经(旧约)里的诗篇第 22 篇——我想说读诗篇 22 篇应该很安全——但当我读着读着,我的眼中充满了泪水,因为我竟然看见祂被挂在木头上,我没想到会在那里看见祂。” [00:00:05]
“我这辈子从来没读过诗篇第 22 篇。” [00:00:21]
“然后我翻到以赛亚书第 53 章,那也是我这辈子从未读过的。此刻,原本含在眼里的泪水夺眶而出,因为我不仅看见了祂,我更明白了祂为什么会在那棵木头上。” [00:00:26]
“祂为什么被杀:祂是为了我们受刑罚;我们的罪孽都归在祂身上,祂为我们受了粉碎之苦。” [00:00:38]
“我就那样哭泣;我只是不停地哭、不停地哭。” [00:00:44]
“我感到很难受。为什么我已经 50 岁了,一生都在去犹太会堂,为什么我们却从来不读诗篇第 22 篇或以赛亚书第 53 章?” [00:00:52]
“接着我翻到耶利米书第 31 章,在第 31 节,我读到了一段令人惊讶的话。” [00:00:59]
“我们这边圣经的耶利米书 31:31 说,上帝说:‘看哪,日子将到,我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约。’” [00:01:07]
“一个新约——上帝向我们犹太人应许了一个新约,祂向我们许下了承诺。” [00:01:17]
“我从小被教导相信新约只是给外邦人的,不是给犹太人的。但这里竟然有来自永生上帝的应许,说祂要赐给我们一个新约。” [00:01:23]
“我很惊讶自己以前竟然从来不知道这件事。” [00:01:29]
“过了一段时间,我翻到但以理书第九章的最后一部分。” [00:01:38]
“经文说:‘必有一王(受膏者/弥赛亚)被剪除……必有一王的民来毁灭这城(耶路撒冷)和圣所。’” [00:01:44]
“那时我知道耶路撒冷在公元 70 年被摧毁了;我也知道圣殿在公元 70 年被摧毁了。” [00:01:50]
“我知道提多将军是摧毁那座城的罗马将军,他是维斯帕先皇帝的儿子;因此,提多是一位王子。” [00:01:55]
“如果经文只停在那里,我本来还算安全:‘耶路撒冷和圣殿必被那将要来的王毁灭。’” [00:02:00]
“但还有第四部分。第四部分说,这些事会发生在‘弥赛亚被剪除’之后。” [00:02:10]
“这对我就意味着:要么我一直读的这本书——这些希伯来经卷——只不过是犹太人的故事,要么就是弥赛亚在公元 70 年之前就已经来了。” [00:02:17]
“啊,耶稣就是我们的弥赛亚。” [00:02:23]
"Listen to this: my entire world view is based upon the fact that Jesus is not our Messiah." [00:00:00]
"And I start to read Psalm 22 from our side of the Bible—I'm safe, Psalm 22—and as I'm reading, my eyes fill with tears because I can see him hanging on a tree, and I didn't expect to see him there." [00:00:05]
"I had never read Psalm 22 in my life." [00:00:21]
"And then I went to Isaiah 53, which I had never read in my life, and now the tears that were behind my eyes flowed from my eyes because not only could I see him, but I could understand why he was on that tree." [00:00:26]
"Why he was killed: he was punished for us; our sins were placed upon him, and he was crushed in our stead." [00:00:38]
"And I just wept; I just wept and wept and wept." [00:00:44]
"I felt terrible. How come I was 50 years of age, been going to synagogue all my life—how come we never read Psalm 22 or Isaiah 53?" [00:00:52]
"And then I turned to Jeremiah 31, and at verse 31, I read an amazing statement." [00:00:59]
"Jeremiah 31:31 in our side of the Bible says the God says, 'Lo, the day is coming when I will enter into a new covenant with the house of Israel and house of Judah.'" [00:01:07]
"A new covenant—God's promising to us Jewish people a new covenant he's promising to us." [00:01:17]
"I was raised to believe that the new covenant was for Gentiles only, not for Jews, and here is a promise from the living God saying that he's going to give to us a new covenant." [00:01:23]
"I was astonished that I'd never known this before." [00:01:29]
"And after a while, I turned to the last part of the ninth chapter of the book of Daniel." [00:01:38]
"It says, 'The Jerusalem shall be destroyed and the temple by the prince who shall come after the Messiah is cut off.'" [00:01:44]
"Well, I knew at this time that Jerusalem had been destroyed in the year 70; I knew that the temple had been destroyed in the year 70." [00:01:50]
"I knew that general Titus was a Roman general who destroyed the city and he was the son of Emperor Vespasian; therefore, Titus was a prince." [00:01:55]
"And if it only had stopped there, I would have been safe: 'Jerusalem shall be destroyed and the temple by the prince who shall come.'" [00:02:00]
"But there was a fourth part. The fourth part says these things will happen after the Messiah is cut off." [00:02:10]
"Which said to me that either this book that I've been reading—these scriptures, the Hebrew scriptures—are nothing more than the story of the Jewish people, or the Messiah came before the year 70." [00:02:17]
"Ah, Jesus is our Messiah." [00:02:23]
