Anyone who has attempted to witness to Jewish people who do not believe in Jesus have encountered "the list..."
The list which I suspect was assembled by Chabad types to try to debunk Jesus as the Messiah.
But one stumped me for many moons... the second coming / return of Messiah in the Tanakh.
There's no lack of references in the New Testament to the second coming... but then it occurred to me (I was shown) that the second coming of Messiah has a unique meaning to the Jews who do not believe in Jesus. The Jews who believe in Jesus and the Gentile converts to faith in Jesus see the second coming in an entirely different way.
The second coming of Jesus involves not only his triumphal return and then judgment but it is also the day of reckoning for the Jews (that they finally cry out to Jesus for salvation). Problem is, it will take having their backs up against the wall of the Armageddon campaign and total annihilation to get them to that point.
Matthew 23:37–39 (KJV)
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
You will not see me until the second coming which will be for me to rescue you when at long last you cry out to me.
Malachi 3:7 (KJV)
7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
And what Jesus prophesied is found in:
Psalm 118:25–26 (KJV)
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
Hosha nah! (hosanna) Save now!
The second coming in the Tanakh
The list which I suspect was assembled by Chabad types to try to debunk Jesus as the Messiah.
- World peace
- Returning the Jews to the Holy Land
- Rebuilding the temple
