Israel Is the messiah

By Daniel Paul K

Chapter:60 The Virgin Birth.

Christians believe that prophecy of Isaiah, “Yahovah himself will

give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and

will call him Immanuel” in Isa.7:14 is about the birth of Jesus. Interestingly

there are many Christians who do not believe the virgin

birth of Jesus. Some Jewish scholars say it is clear that the woman

mentioned in Isaiah 7:14 and 8:3-4 are one and the same and that she

is Isaiah’s wife. The real sign to King Ahaz is that Isaiah’s child will

be born quickly and before he matures the nations who threaten the

Kingdom of Judah will be defeated. Interestingly, Isaiah’s children are

specifically referred to as “signs” from God.Isa.8:18. Some Jewish

scholars say, that prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled in King Hezekiah.

But let us examine who is the virgin and who is the child?

About the birth of this child Isaiah further says, “Before she

travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered

of a man-child.” Isa.66:7 Let us ask, Who is this “She” giving birth

to a man child? Micah says, “Be in pain, and labour to bring forth,

O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail.” 4:10. Jeremiah says, “I

have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her

that brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion”

4:31. And Jeremiah calls her “O Virgin daughter of Zion.” Lame.2:13.

Isaiah says, “Yet no sooner is virgin daughter of Zion in labour than

she gives birth to her children.” 66:8. So the virgin who gives birth

to the man child is the virgin daughter of Zion.

When the virgin daughter of Zion would give birth to this son?

Micah says, “Therefore Israel will be abandoned until the time when

she who is in labour gives birth and the rest of his brothers return to

join the Israelites.” 5:3. Micah says Israel will be abandoned until the

Virgin daughter of Zion gives birth to the man child. In some other

translation, it is seen that “He will give them up until the time she

who is in labour has given birth.” This means Israel will be handed

over to gentiles until she gave birth.

When will Israel be abandoned or when will Israel will be given

up to the gentiles? Ezekiel says to Israel, “You have caused your days

to draw near, and have come to the end of your years.” End of your

days means the end of the period of Jews in their promised land.

Then what will happen? Yahovah says, I will disperse you among the

nations and scatter you through the countries; and I will put an end

to your uncleanness.” For thy day is near, even the day of the Lord is

near; It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles. Eze.30:3. We

can understand that at the time when the times of gentiles will begin,

the Jews will be dispersed among the nations. In other words, When

the times of gentiles will begin Israel will be abandoned by Jews. It is

important to note that the Promised Land will remain abandoned by

Jews until the virgin daughter of Zion gives birth to the man child.

About Jews abandoning the Promised Land, Jeremiah said,

“My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken; my children have

gone from me, and they are not; there is no one to spread my tent

again and to set up my curtains.” Jere.10:20. Jesus said, “Behold, an

hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered each

to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone,

because the father is with me. “These things I have spoken to you,

so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation,

but take courage; I have overcome the world.” John.16:32-33. Jesus

meant Jews are going to abandon Israel and are going into the world

and there they will have tribulations and they will have peace only in

Israel. Ezekiel says about Israel, “For thy day is near, even the day of

the Lord is near; it will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles.”

Eze.30:3. About giving up Israel into hands of gentiles Jesus said,

“son of man is going to be handed over to the gentiles. How long

they will be in the hands of Gentiles?” Jesus says, “Jerusalem will

be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are over.”

Lk.21:24. And Micah says, Virgin daughter of Zion will give birth

to the man child when the time of gentiles will be over. What does

it mean? Jews will be given up to the gentiles until Virgin daughter

of Zion will give birth to the man child. So how the prophecy in

Isaiah 7:14 can be about Jesus who came to warn the Jews that they

are going to be handed over to gentiles ? If it is not about the birth

of Jesus then about whose birth is this prophecy?

Hear, Isaiah says, “Before she goes into labour, she gives birth;

before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son.” Here also we

may think Prophet is speaking about the birth of a human baby. But

the continuing words of prophet will tell us he is speaking about the

nation and not about a human child. Hear the rest of the words of

Isaiah, “Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such

things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth

in a moment? Yet no sooner is virgin daughter of Zion in labour

than she gives birth to her children.” 66: 7. “I will remove the sin of

this land in a single day.” Zech.3:9. We can give the name Zionism

for the virgin daughter of Zion. And in 1948 Zionism gave birth to

Israel. Isaiah was not speaking about the birth of a human child but

about the birth of Israel--the state of Jews.

Isaiah says about this child Israel “For to us a child is born, to

us a son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulders. Of

the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He

will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and

upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and

forever. The zeal of the Almighty will accomplish this.” Isa.9:6-7.

On the very first day of the birth of “Israel” neighboring countries

attacked the Jews to exterminate them, then the governing of Jews

and their protection fell upon the shoulders of the Child Israel.

About the Birth of the child, Jesus also said, “For nation will rise

against Nation and kingdom against kingdom and on various places

there will be famines and earthquakes.” Mt.24:7. Then they will deliver

you to tribulation, and will kill you, but all these things are merely the

beginning of birth pangs. Mt.24:9. “Truly, truly, I say to you, that you

will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; You will grieve, but

your grief will be turned into joy. Whenever a woman is in labour

she has pain, because her hour has come; but when She gives birth

to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy

that a child has been born into the world, and your heart will rejoice,

and no one will take your joy away from you.” John 16:20-21. Like

all other prophets, Jesus also predicted the birth of Israel will be like

the birth of a baby. Now the Jews have forgotten all their sufferings,

all their sorrows and pains. Now the Jews are rejoicing seeing their

son Israel and no one can take their joy from them.

Was not Jews and Christians wasting their precious time for the

last 2000 years debating “Virgin Birth of Jesus”?
