• Phinehas

12
Numbers 25 1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and
the people began to commit whoredom with the
daughters of Moab. 2 And they called the
people unto the sacrifices of their gods and the
people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baal peor and
the anger of YHVH was kindled against Israel.
4 And YHVH said unto Moses, Take all the heads of
the people, and hang them up before YHVH against
the sun, that the fierce anger of YHVH may be
turned away from Israel.
13

• 5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay
  ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal
  peor.
• 6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel
  came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish
  woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of
  all the congregation of the children of Israel,
  who were weeping before the door of the
  tabernacle of the congregation.

14
Numbers 25 7 And when Phinehas, the son of
Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he
rose up from among the congregation, and took a
javelin in his hand 8 And he went after the
man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of
them through, the man of Israel, and the woman
through her belly. So the plague was stayed from
the children of Israel. 9 And those that died
in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
15
Eleazar

• 0499. rzela
• 'Elazar, el-aw-zawr'

Zealous

• H7065
• ???
• qana'
• kaw-naw'
• A primitive root to be (causatively make)
  zealous, that is, (in a bad sense) jealous or
  envious - (be) envy (-ious), be (move to,
  provoke to) jealous (-y), X very, (be) zeal
  (-ous).

17
What is the duty of the Priest?

• Malachi 2
• 6 The Torah of truth was in his mouth, and
  iniquity was not found in his lips he walked
  with me in peace and equity, and did turn many
  away from iniquity.
• 7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge,
  and they should seek the Torah at his mouth for
  he is the messenger of YHVH of hosts.

18
The Zeal of Levi

• Genesis 2934
• And she conceived again, and bare a son and
  said, Now this time will my husband be joined
  unto me, because I have born him three sons
  therefore was his name called Levi.

19
H3878 ??? leviy lay-vee' From H3867 attached
Levi, a son of Jacob - Levi. See also H3879,
H3881.
20
Genesis 3425 And it came to pass on the third
day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of
Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took
each man his sword, and came upon the city
boldly, and slew all the males. Ex 3226 Then
Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said,
Who is on the LORD'S side? let him come unto me.
And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves
together unto him. Ex 3228 And the children of
Levi did according to the word of Moses and
there fell of the people that day about three
thousand men.
21
LOYALTY OF THE SONS OF ELEAZER

• Eze 4415 But the priests the Levites, the sons
  of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary
  when the children of Israel went astray from me,
  they shall come near to me to minister unto me,
  and they shall stand before me to offer unto me
  the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD
• Eze 4811 It shall be for the priests that are
  sanctified of the sons of Zadok which have kept
  my charge, which went not astray when the
  children of Israel went astray,

• 11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron
  the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the
  children of Israel, while he was zealous for my
  sake among them, that I consumed not the children
  of Israel in my jealousy.

VAV is a picture of Man

• Since Vav represents the number six, it has long
  been associated as the number of man in the
  Jewish tradition 
• Man was created on the sixth day
• Man works for six days - the realm of the chol
  and the mundane
• There are six millennia before the coming of the
  Mashiach
• There are 6 billion people on the Earth

26
The laws of writing a Torah scroll are called
soferut. There are over 4,000 laws or rules
used by scribes to prepare a kosher scroll. For
instance, the Torah must contain exactly 304,805
well-formed letters in 248 amudim (columns or
pages). Each yeriah (sheet of parchment) must
come from the hide of a kosher animal that has
been specially perpared for the purposes of
writing. Special inks are used and whenever a
scribe writes any of the seven Names of God, he
must say a blessing (l'shem k'dushat Hashem) and
dip his quill in fresh ink.A Torah scroll may
contain no errors of any kind or it is considered
passul (invalid). Each line of every amud is
carefully read (backwards) by the sofer and
compared against a working copy (called a
tikkun). If an error is detected in a yeriah, it
must be removed from the scroll and buried in a
genizah, a sort of cemetary or repository for
sacred texts (the most famous genizah is the
Cairo Genizah).

28
The Broken VavSoferut (i.e., the laws concerning
the scribal arts of writing Sefrei Torah)
requires that all Hebrew letters be well-formed -
that is, no letters can touch other letters and
no letters can be malformed, broken, or otherwise
illegible. However, there is a strange exception
to these rules regarding the Vav that appears in
the word shalom Numbers 2512
29
WHAT DID YESHUA SAY ABOUT THE FATHER AND HIM?

• John 1428
• You heard how I told you, I go away, and I come
  to you. If you loved me, you would have
  rejoiced, because I said I am going to my
  Fatherfor the Father is greater than I.

30
John 17 1 Yeshua spoke these words, lifted up
His eyes to heaven, and said "Father, the hour
has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also
may glorify You, 2 "as You have given Him
authority over all flesh, that He should give
eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3
"And this is eternal life, that they may know
You, the only true Elohim, and Yeshua Mashiach
whom You have sent.
31
1Co 86 yet for us there is one God, the Father,
of whom are all things, and we for Him and one
Adon Yeshua the Messiah, through whom are all
things, and through whom we live.
32
MATTHEW 26 60 and they found none. Even though
many false witnesses came forward, they found
none. But at last two false witnesses came
forward, 61 and said, This man said, I am able
to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in
three days. 62 The high priest stood up, and
said to him, Have you no answer? What is this
that these testify against you?
33
63 But Yeshua held his peace. The high priest
answered him, I adjure you by the living God,
that you tell us whether you are the Messiah, the
Son of God. 64 Yeshua said to him, You have
said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you
will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand
of Power, and coming on the clouds of the
sky. 65 Then the high priest tore his clothing,
saying, He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need
any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard
his blasphemy.
34

• LEVITICUS 51
• If anyone sins, in that he hears the voice of
  adjuration, he being a witness, whether he has
  seen or known, if he doesnt report it, then he
  shall bear his iniquity.

35
REVELATION 17 Behold, he is coming with the
clouds, and every eye will see him, including
those who pierced him. All the tribes of the
earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
36
Yeshua the Temple Priest nowYeshua the Priest
of War in the second coming
37
Another important text from Qumran gives deeper
insight into the statements made by Yeshua to the
disciples of John the Baptist (Matthew 114-6 and
Luke 722-23) as mentioned above. Here we have a
single Messiah who will rule heaven and earth.
The resurrection of the dead during the time of
this Messiah is also key
38
4Q521 - the heavens and the earth will listen
to His Messiah, and none therein will stray from
the commandments of the holy ones. Seekers of the
Lord, strengthen yourselves in His service! All
you hopeful in (your) heart, will you not find
the Lord in this? For the Lord will consider the
pious (hasidim) and call the righteous by name.
Over the poor His spirit will hover and will
renew the faithful with His power. And He will
glorify the pious on the throne of the eternal
Kingdom. He who liberates the captives, restores
sight to the blind, straightens the bent And
for ever I will cleavve to the hopeful and in
His mercy ... And the fruit ... will not be
delayed for anyone. And the Lord will accomplish
glorious things which have never been as He ...
For He will heal the wounded, and revive the dead
and bring good news  to the poor ... He will lead
the uprooted and knowledge . . .
39

• What is important to note in the above text is
  the idea of resurrection of the dead, being one
  of the roles of the Messiah. This is not
  explicitly mentioned in the Tenakh, yet both the
  scroll at Qumran and the "New Testament" accounts
  of Matthew and Luke, add this to His function.
  This would show a definite Qumranian influence in
  the teachings of Yeshua and His disciples.

40
YESHUA IN THE ROLE OF THE PRIEST OF THE TEMPLE
Isaiah 61 1 The Spirit of the Adonai Elohim is
upon me because the YHVH hath anointed me to
preach good tidings unto the meek he hath sent
me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim
liberty to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound 2 To proclaim the
acceptable year of the YHVH,

41
DEAD SEA SCROLLS TEXTS The Coming of Melchizedek
11Q13 Col.2 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of
the Melchizedek
42
11Q13 col.2, 13-20 And Melchizedek will avenge
with the vengeance of the judgment of God ...
from the hand of Belial and from the hand of all
the spirits of his lot. And to his help are all
the heavenly ones on high. He ... all sons of
might and ... this.     This is the day of
salvation about which God spoke through the mouth
of the prophet Isaiah who said How beautiful
upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings
good news, who announces peace, who brings glad
tidings of good, who proclaims salvation, who
says to Zion 'Your heavenly one is king.'
Isaiah 52.7     Its interpretation is this.
The mountains are the words of the prophets,
those who saw the things ordained and
prophesied to all those who mourn in Zion. And
who brings good news this is the Messiah of the
spirit, of whom Daniel speaks He who brings glad
tidings of good, who proclaims salvation. That is
what is written concerning him, when He speaks
... to comfort those who mourn in Zion to
instruct them in all the ages of the world.
43
John the Baptist and the role of the Messiah

• Luke 7
• 20 When the men were come unto him, they said,
  John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art
  thou he that should come? or look we for another?
• 21 And in that same hour he cured many of their
  infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits and
  unto many that were blind he gave sight.
• 22 Then Yeshua answering said unto them, Go your
  way, and tell John what things ye have seen and
  heard how that the blind see, the lame walk, the
  lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are
  raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

44
Messiah Ben Joseph

• Isaiah 35
• 5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
  and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
• 6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and
  the tongue of the dumb sing for in the
  wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in
  the desert.

45
The first of these is called Messiah ben Joseph,
the other Messiah ben David. According to
tradition, Messiah ben Joseph is a tzaddik who
according to some sources is destined to suffer
and die for his people. Despite what some claim
today, the "suffering servant" found in the
chapters of Isaiah is considered in ancient
Jewish commentary, to be Messiah ben Joseph as
well as representing Israel. As Rabbi Yitzchak
Ginsburgh states, prior to the establishment of
the Kingdom of God, Messiah ben Joseph, "will
rectify certain aspects of reality in preparation
for the advent of Messiah ben David."
46

• 'The sceptre shall not depart from Judah nor a
  lawgiver from between his feet until "Shiloh"
  come, refers also to Messiah, who is to
  enlighten Israel on the words of the Torah, and
  point out the errors of the people. Rabbi Chanan,
  on the other hand, holds that the teaching of
  Messiah will not be addressed to Israel, whose
  knowledge of the law of God will be
  all-sufficient. Rather will his task be to
  instruct the Gentiles in the words of the
  prophet Isaiah (11. 10), 'To him shall the
  Gentiles seek, and he shall assemble the outcast
  of Israel.'--Gen. Rabba 98.

47
In early Talmudic times, the Rabbis were aware
that Scripture gave conflicting descriptions of
Mashiach. We find a discussion in the Talmud on
this issue R. Joshua opposed two verses it
is written, And behold, one like the son of man
came with the clouds of heaven, whilst elsewhere
it is written, behold, thy king cometh unto
thee, lowly, and riding upon an ass!16 After
much discussion on these seeming contradictory
passages, the Rabbis concluded If they (Israel)
are meritorious, he will come with the clouds of
heaven if not, lowly and riding upon an ass. 17
48
One of the most detailed and powerful
descriptions of the role of Mashiach Ben Yosef is
found in the Zohar When the Mashiach hears of
the great suffering of Israel in their
dispersion, and of the wicked amongst them who
seek not to know their Master, he weeps aloud on
account of those wicked ones amongst them, as it
is written "But he was wounded because of our
transgression, he was crushed because of our
iniquities." ...The Mashiach, on his part, enters
a certain Hall in the Garden of Eden, called the
Hall of the Afflicted.
49

• There he calls for all the diseases and pains
  and sufferings of Israel, bidding them settle on
  himself, which they do. And were it not that he
  thus eases the burden from Israel, taking it on
  himself, no one could endure the sufferings meted
  out to Israel in expiation on account of their
  neglect of the Torah. So Scripture says "Surely
  our diseases he did bear." As long as Israel
  were in the Holy Land, by means of the Temple
  service and sacrifices they averted all evil
  diseases and afflictions from the world. Now it
  is the Mashiach who is the means of averting them
  from mankind until the time when a man quits this
  world and receives his punishment... 24

50
The wealth of names associated with Messiah
indicate the extent of ideas that surround him.
These names include

• Messiah ben Joseph,
• Messiah ben David,
• Messiah ben Ephraim,
• the Leprous Messiah,
• Head of Days,
• Son of Man,
• Tzemah (Shoot),
• Menachem (Comforter),
• Nehora (Light),
• Shalom (Peace),
• Tzaddik (Righteous),
• Adonai (Lord),

• Yinnon (Continued),
• Tzidqenu (Our Justice),
• Pele (Miracle),
• Yo'etz (Counselor),
• El (God),
• Gibbor (Hero),
• Avi 'Ad Shalom (Eternal Father of Peace),
• Fragrance,
• David,
• Shiloh

The Messiah Texts, Raphael Patai, Wayne State
University Press, Detroit, 1979, pp. 17-22.
51
The eminent scholar Raphael Patai, who "taught
Hebrew at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem" and
served as Professor of Anthropology at Dropsie
University, said this of the two-messiah
theory "When the death of the Messiah became
an established tenet in Talmudic times, this was
felt to be irreconcilable with the belief in the
Messiah as Redeemer who would usher in the
blissful millennium of the Messianic Age. The
dilemma was solved by splitting the person of the
Messiah in two one of them, called Messiah ben
Joseph, was to raise the armies of Israel against
their enemies, and, after many victories and
miracles, would fall victim Gog and Magog. The
other, Messiah ben David, will come after him (in
some legends will bring him back to life, which
psychologically hints at the identity of the
two), and will lead Israel to the ultimate
victory, the triumph, and the Messianic era of
bliss."
52
Talmud - Mas. Sukkah 52a What is the cause of
the mourning mentioned in the last cited verse?
R. Dosa and the Rabbis differ on the point. One
explained, The cause is the slaying of Messiah
the son of Joseph, and the other explained, The
cause is the slaying of the Evil Inclination. It
is well according to him who explains that the
cause is the slaying of Messiah the son of
Joseph, since that well agrees with the
Scriptural verse, And they shall look upon me
because they have thrust him through, and they
shall mourn for him as one mourneth for his only
son but according to him who explains the cause
to be the slaying of the Evil Inclination, is
this it may be objected an occasion for
mourning? Is it not rather an occasion for
rejoicing? Why then should they weep? The
explanation is as R. Judah expounded In the
time to come the Holy One, blessed be He, will
bring the Evil Inclination and slay it in the
presence of the righteous and the wicked.
53
Did you Know about the Rabbinical teaching about
the Priest of War or the WAR MESSIAH?
54
THE HIGH PRIEST ANOINTED FOR WAR
Deuteronomy 201-3 When thou goest out to
battle against thine enemies, and seest horses,
and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not
afraid of them for the LORD thy God is with
thee, which brought thee up out of the land of
Egypt. And it shall be, when ye are come nigh
unto the battle, that the priest shall approach
and speak unto the people, And shall say unto
them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto
battle against your enemies let not your hearts
faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be
ye terrified because of them.
55
The first Priest anointed for war that we find
mention of, was Phineas, the grandson of
Aaron Midrash Rabbah - Leviticus XX2 -
Elisheba the daughter of Amminadab did not enjoy
happiness in the world. True, she witnessed five
crowns attained by her relatives in one day
her brother-in-law was a king, her brother was a
prince, her husband was High Priest, her two sons
were both Deputy High Priests, Phinehas her
grandson was a Priest anointed for war. Talmud -
Mas. Sotah 43a - Thus it states And Moses sent
them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them
and Phinehas them refers to the Sanhedrin
Phinehas was the priest Anointed for Battle
56
Numbers 31 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, 2 Avenge the children of Israel of the
Midianites afterward shalt thou be gathered unto
thy people. 3 And Moses spake unto the people,
saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and
let them go against the Midianites, and avenge
the LORD of Midian. 4 Of every tribe a thousand,
throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye
send to the war. 5 So there were delivered out of
the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every
tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 6 And Moses
sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe,
them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
to the war, with the holy instruments, and the
trumpets to blow in his hand. 7 And they warred
against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded
Moses and they slew all the males. 8 And they
slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them
that were slain namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur,
and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian Balaam
also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
57
DID YESHUA TELL US ABOUT HIS ROLE ON PESACH?

• Mat 26
• 27 He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to
  them, saying, All of you drink it,
• 28 for this is my blood of the new covenant,
  which is poured out for many for the remission of
  sins.
• 29 But I tell you that I will not drink of this
  fruit of the vine from now on, until that day
  when I drink it anew with you in my Fathers
  Kingdom.

58
NO WINE IN THE TABERNACLE

• LEVITICUS 10
• 8 The LORD spoke to Aaron, saying,
• 9 Drink no wine nor strong drink, you, nor your
  sons with you, when you go into the Tent of
  Meeting, that you dont die it shall be a
  statute forever throughout your generations

59
WHERE IS YESHUA AT THIS MOMENT?

• IN THE HEAVENLY TABERNACLE?

60
Elsewhere in Midrash Rabbah (below) we find
reference to the same person, this time called,
"the War Messiah." What is interesting here is
the footnote, which links the Priest Anointed for
War to the coming Messiah. This is especially
significant regarding Yeshua, as the first time
He came as the Temple High Priest (in order to be
the final Yom Kippur sacrifice for sin) whereas
He will return the second time as the "War
Messiah" to smite His enemies (i.e., Isaiah 5917
where He wears the "garments of vengeance.")
61

Isiah 5915-17 Yea, trutha faileth and he
that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey
and YHVH saw it, and it displeased him that there
was no judgment. And he saw that there was no
man, and wondered that there was no intercessor
therefore his arm brought salvation unto him and
his righteousness, it sustained him. For he put
on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet
of salvation upon his head and he put on the
garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad
with zeal as a cloak.
62
Midrash Rabbah - The Song of Songs II33 - MY
BELOVED SPOKE AND SAID UNTO ME. He spoke through
Elijah and said through the Messiah. What did he
say to me? RISE UP, MY LOVE, MY FAIR ONE, AND
COME AWAY. R. Azariah said FOR LO, THE WINTER
(HA-SETHAW) IS PAST this refers to the kingdom
of the Cutheans which seduces (mesithah) the
world and leads it astray by its falsehoods, as
we read, If thy brother, the son of thy mother,
entice thee--yesitheka (Deut. XIII, 7). THE RAIN
IS OVER AND GONE this refers to the subjection
of Israel. THE FLOWERS APPEAR ON THE EARTH the
conquerors have appeared on the earth. Who are
they? R. Berekiah said in the name of R. Isaac
As it is written, And the Lord showed me four
craftsmen (Zech. II, 3), namely, Elijah, the
Messiah, Melchizedek, and the War Messiah. THE
TIME OF THE ZAMIR IS COME the time has come for
Israel to be delivered the time has come for
uncircumcision to be cut off the time has come
for the kingdom of the Cutheans to expire the
time has come for the kingdom of heaven to be
revealed, as it says, And the Lord shall be king
over all the earth (ib. XIV, 9). AND THE VOICE OF
THE TURTLE IS HEARD IN OUR LAND Who is this?
This is the voice of the Messiah
Lit.,the priest anointed for war, an
expression originally applied to the priest who
accompanied the troops. Cf. Suk. 52a, where
instead of ' War Messiah ' we have ' Messiah son
of Joseph. The two are probably identical,
Messiah the son of Joseph being regarded as the
forerunner of the Messiah during the wars that
will precede his advent. 
63
The following section of the Talmud, shows
distinctions drawn between the Deputy Temple High
Priest and the High Priest Anointed for War, with
the former taking precendent regarding issues of
defilement, but the latter's life being
considered more important (if one had to choose
between the two of them) as he has a
responsibility to many people
64
Talmud - Mas. Nazir 47b The question was
propounded As between the High Priest anointed
for a war, and the deputy High Priest, which is
of superior sanctity? Does the High Priest
anointed for war take precedence, because he is
qualified to go to war, or does the deputy take
precedence, because he is qualified to perform
the Temple service? Come and hear For it has
been taught The only difference between a High
Priest anointed for war and a deputy is that if
they were both walking by the way and encountered
a meth mizwah, the High Priest anointed for war
is to defile himself, but not the deputy (Temple
Priest). But has it not been taught A High
Priest anointed for war takes precedence of a
deputy? But once a priest had been anointed
for war, he could no longer take part in the
Temple service.
65
Mar Zutra replied As far as saving his life is
concerned, the High Priest anointed for war
has a superior claim for many people depend
upon him, but as regards defilement, the deputy
is of superior sanctity, as has been taught R.
Hanina b. Antigonus said that the reason the
office of deputy to the High Priest was created,
was that should any disqualification happen to
him the High Priest, he can enter and minister
in his stead.
66
His garments are red with the blood of judgment.
There is a connection between the garments of
vengeance and the Lord's Day of
vengeance Isaiah 631-6 Who is this that
cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?
this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling
in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in
righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou
red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him
that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the
winepress alone and of the people there was none
with me for I will tread them in mine anger, and
trample them in my fury and their blood shall be
sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all
my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine
heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. And I
looked, and there was none to help and I
wondered that there was none to uphold therefore
mine own arm brought salvation unto me and my
fury, it upheld me. And I will tread down the
people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my
fury, and I will bring down their strength to the
earth.
67
Revelation 1911-15 And I saw heaven opened,
and behold a white horse and he that sat upon
him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war. His
eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head
were many crowns and he had a name written, that
no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed
with a vesture dipped in blood and his name is
called The Word of God. And the armies which were
in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed
in fine linen, white and clean.   And out of his
mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should
smite the nations and he shall rule them with a
rod of iron and he treadeth the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

The idea of Messiah coming on the clouds is found
in the Tenakh 1. The New Testament 2.
Apocryphal writings 3. The Talmud 4. The Zohar.

• Daniel 713 - I was seeing in the visions of the
  night, and lo, with the clouds of the heavens as
  a son of man was one coming, and unto the
  Ancient of Days he hath come, and before Him they
  have brought him near.
• Matthew 2430 - 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 2664 - Yeshua said to him, "It is as you
  said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you
  will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand
  of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

70

• Acts 19- 11
• Now when He had spoken these things, while they
  watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received
  Him out of their sight. And while they looked
  steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold,
  two men stood by them in white apparel, who also
  said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up
  into heaven? This same Yeshua, who was taken up
  from you into heaven, will so come in like manner
  as you saw Him go into heaven."

71

• The Apocryphal book of 4 Ezra was written before
  Yeshua's time. It contains reference to a "sea,"
  which is understood to be the Supernal Sea, which
  is associated with the spiritual realm. The
  language in 4 Ezra is reminiscent of the "New
  Testament," with likeness to Armageddon, and
  someone called "My Son," who was hidden away for
  a while by God (i.e., Isaiah 49), slaying those
  who come against him with the word of his mouth.
  This man flies with the clouds of heaven

72
4 Ezra 131-9 25,26,35,36 - And it came to pass
after seven days that I dreamed a dream by night
and I beheld, and lo! there arose a violent wind
from the sea, and stirred all its waves. And the
wind caused the likeness of a form of a man to
come out of the heart of the seas. And this Man
flew with the clouds of heaven. And wherever he
turned his countenance to look, everything seen
by him trembled and whithersoever the voice went
out of his mouth, all that heard his voice melted
away, as the wax melts when it feels the fire.
And after this I beheld that there were gathered
from the four winds of heaven an innumerable
multitude of men to make war against that Man who
came up out of the sea ... And I saw that he cut
out for himself a great mountain and flew upon it
... And when he saw the assult of the multitude
as they came, he neither lifted his hand, nor
held spear nor any warlike weapon but I saw only
how he sent out of his mouth as it were a fiery
stream, and out of his lips a flaming breath, and
out of his tongue he shot forth a storm of sparks
... And these fell upon the assault of the
multitude ... and burned them all up ...

The Talmudic references to the "son of the
clouds" (Bar Nafle), states that this person is
the Messiah. The following text includes
references to their being very few people
studying Torah upon his return (i.e., Luke 188)
and that this will be preceded by times of great
tribulation (i.e., Matthew 24). Mention is also
made of Messiah coming at the end of a seven year
cycle, which would be the 70th shemita cycle of
Daniel's prophecy
74
Talmud - Mas. Sanhedrin 96b - R. Nahman said to
R. Isaac Have you heard when Bar Nafle son of
the clouds will come? Who is Bar Nafle? he
asked. Messiah, he answered, Do you call
Messiah Bar Nafle? Even so, he rejoined, as
it is written, in that day I will raise up the
tabernacle of David ha-nofeleth that is
fallen. He replied, Thus hath R. Johanan said
in the generation when the son of David i.e.,
Messiah will come, scholars will be few in
number, and as for the rest, their eyes will fail
through sorrow and grief. Multitudes of trouble
and evil decrees will be promulgated anew, each
new evil coming with haste before the other has
ended. Our Rabbis taught in the seven year
cycle at the end of which the son of David will
come-in the first year, this verse will be
fulfilled And I will cause it to rain upon one
city and cause it not to rain upon another city
in the second, the arrows of hunger will be sent
forth in the third, a great famine, in the
course of which men, women, and children, pious
men and saints will die, and the Torah will be
forgotten by its students in the fourth, partial
plenty in the fifth, great plenty, when men will
eat, drink and rejoice, and the Torah will return
to its disciples in the sixth, Heavenly
sounds in the seventh, wars and at the
conclusion of the septennate the son of David
will come.
75
The Zohar directly associates Daniel 713 with
the Messiah who will establish the Kingdom of
God

• Soncino Zohar, Bereshith, Section 1, Page 145b -
  R. Hiya then followed with a discourse on the
  verse I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out
  knowledge of devices (Prov. VIII, 12). "Wisdom"
  here, he said, alludes to the Community of
  Israel "prudence" signifies Jacob, the prudent
  man and "knowledge of devices" alludes to Isaac,
  who used devices for the purpose of blessing
  Esau. But since wisdom allied itself with Jacob,
  who was possessed of prudence, it was he who was
  blessed by his father, so that all those
  blessings rested on him and are fulfilled in him
  and in his descendants to all eternity. Some have
  been fulfilled in this world, and the rest will
  be fulfilled on the advent of the Messiah, when
  Israel will be one nation on earth and one people
  of the Holy One, blessed be He. So Scripture
  says "And I will make them one nation on earth"
  (Ez. XXXVII, 22). And they will exercise dominion
  both on high and here below, as it is written
  "And, behold, there came with the clouds of
  heaven one like unto a son of man" (Dan. VII,
  13), alluding to the Messiah, concerning whom it
  is also written "And in the days of those kings
  shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, etc."
  (Ibid. II, 44). Hence Jacob desired that the
  blessings should be reserved for that future
  time, and did not take them up immediately.
