Friday with Jacob - Jesus in the Midrash

This teaching argues that modern rabbinic Judaism is fundamentally different from the faith revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures and rejected by Jesus and the apostles, grounding its claims in Revelation 2:9, where Jesus speaks of those who claim to be Jews but are not, linking this to the inward definition of true Jewish identity found in Romans 2 and echoed by the prophets such as Jeremiah; it further appeals to 1 John 2:22 to define denial of Jesus as the Messiah as the spirit of antichrist, connects messianic fulfillment and the timing of the Second Temple’s destruction to Daniel 9, and aligns Jesus’ own warnings in Luke 21 and Matthew 24 with that prophecy, while using Jewish rabbinic sources to argue that the failure of atonement rituals after the crucifixion confirms Isaiah’s teaching that sins require divine cleansing (Isaiah 1:18) and that human righteousness is insufficient (Isaiah 64:6); additional references such as Leviticus 19:16 and Leviticus 19:18 are cited to critique rabbinic ethical interpretations, and Acts 5 is used to highlight early rabbinic acknowledgment that opposition to Jesus could amount to opposing God Himself.
