Eyewitness Accounts

How can we prove that the biblical Jesus of Nazarene is the Savior and not someone else?

God has given us archaeological evidence, historical evidence, and more importantly, eyewitness testimony.

“On the mouth of two or three witnesses, let a matter be established.”

We have the eyewitness testimonies of Moses, Samuel, Amos, Habbakkuk, Ezra, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and so on.

We have the eyewitness testimonies of those who saw, heard, touched, and were touched by Jesus Himself. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Mary, Peter, Paul, James, Jude, and so on.

You have your eyewitness testimony, I have mine. Others have theirs.

All of these eyewitness accounts are after the fact. But there is one eyewitness account that is greater than all of these.

God’s testimony. You see, He says that He alone is God and that Jesus is His Messiah, the Savior of the world and His only begotten Son, and that we would know it without a shadow of a doubt because unlike all the other eyewitness accounts that were after the fact, God’s account was before the fact.

He told us the end from the beginning. He told us who Jesus would be BEFORE he came.

Prophecy is God’s eyewitness account and Jesus fulfilled over 365 pinpoint prophecies when He came the first time.

But God’s eyewitness account isn’t done yet. There are still many more things that God has said that are being fulfilled today, and are going to be fulfilled tomorrow an on into the future, until He has accomplished all His plans for saving the human race, both Jews and Gentiles, people from every family, every language.

But not everyone will be saved, only those who believe all the evidence that God has so painstakingly provided, guarded, and communicated to us through the Bible, and through His people, and through the miraculously continued existence of the Jewish people that Satan has tried but failed to annihilate over and over again.

So God says to all of us: “do not be faithless and unbelieving, but believe and keep believing the truth I have given you.” And Jesus Christ says: “You believe in God, believe also in me.”

“Never Again” Will Happen Again

“Never again!” will happen one more time when Jacob makes a covenant of death with the Son of Perdition who comes in his own name. But the LORD will save a remnant of Israel when the Holy One of Israel, Yeshua is His Name, appears in the heavens and they cry out for Him to deliver them & say “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the LORD!”

“for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”” Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭43‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day (the Day of Christ) will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” II Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”” Daniel‬ ‭9‬:‭27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All their host shall fall down As the leaf falls from the vine, And as fruit falling from a fig tree.” Isaiah‬ ‭34‬:‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

““Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭29‬-‭30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The Rod that Budded

Aaron’s rod that budded & bore fruit (almonds) points to Jesus’ Resurrection.

– Made clear to the children of Israel God’s choice for High Priest (to make atonement & intercession on behalf of the people)

– What was dead is brought to life and bears good fruit

– A tangible reminder to keep the complaints of the people from kindling God’s wrath

“It will come about that the rod of the man whom I choose will sprout. Thus I will lessen from upon Myself the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you.”

Moses therefore spoke to the sons of Israel, and all their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers’ households, twelve rods, with the rod of Aaron among their rods. So Moses deposited the rods before the Lord in the tent of the testimony.

Now on the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds.

Moses then brought out all the rods from the presence of the Lord to all the sons of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod. But the Lord said to Moses, “Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony to be kept as a sign against the rebels, that you may put an end to their grumblings against Me, so that they will not die.”

Thus Moses did; just as the Lord had commanded him, so he did.” Numbers 17:5-11 NASB1995

Opening Deep Wounds

Antisemites who say: “Christ is King” are being manipulated spiritually (demonically) to sow division & distrust between Jews & true Christians to open the wounds inflicted on Jews by religious antisemites since the 3rd (?) century A.D.

This is in direct violation of the Royal Law of Christ Jesus – Love God, Love Others (neighbors, strangers, enemies), and in direct violation of Romans 10-11.

Something to Seriously Consider

Most people ignore the fact that we are all dying, and going to die.

And only God knows how soon that moment will happen.

Deep down, people are afraid to die because God has put it in our hearts and minds to know the truth.

We are all already condemned by our own sin nature, and the death of the body (1st death) seals our eternal fate. If we don’t acknowledge and face this fact before that 1st death, then consider God’s mercy & love in providing the only acceptable holy sacrifice for our guilt & condemnation in the form of His promised only begotten Son Jesus Christ the Lord from the tribe of Judah, and receive the transference of our sin onto Him at the cross & His righteousness to us at His resurrection, sealing us by His Holy Spirit, freeing us from the power of slavery to sin, beginning our transformation into Christlikeness, and resulting in eternal life in God’s kingdom….

If we don’t… then we will be judged righteously in our condemnation and suffer the 2nd death.

Eternal just punishment & torment in the lake of fire for rejecting the only means of salvation, Jesus Christ.

God is merciful & gives mercy to all who ask Him for it, then He gives overflowing lovingkindness on top of His mercy.
