Yaacov, you said: "I am still at loss, who is Yashua? How can you worship Meshiach in the Messianic Temple? First of all he is not yet come! Then, he is just an instrument of God, not to be worshiped! " ----------------------------------------- Your Tanach in Isaiah 7:14 says: "Behold a virgin (in Hebrew almah, meaning a young marriageable woman) shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call him Emmanuel, which means God is with us." Don't you think "God with us" needs to be worshipped? In Isaish 19:1 "The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and th heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it." The Lord, Yaacov! Do you know of any other force in the history of Egypt that turned the pagan hearts of many Egyptians to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob like Jesus did? There are still 5 million Coptic Christians in Eghypt today. Another prophecy in your Tanach that points to Jesus, Yaacov. How about Isaish 53:1-6 4: Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6: All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7: He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8: He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. Who else, Yaacov, but God himself could take away our sins? Yaacov, another question. Since their is no more Levitical and AAronic priesthood, what and how do you sacrifice to God for your sins? There remaineth no sacrifice for sins among the Jews except the Sacrifice of the Hight Priest Jesus Christ--the Lamb of God. How
