Life circumstances are telling themselves. We shall see what we shall see.People have been saying the prophecies have been fulfilled since the Mediaeval age and before. Many were certain the year 1,000 would be it. Others said the fall of Rome would bring it, even.
Yes, we knew this would be the case:Speaking of which, the temple was razed by the Roman armies. 2,000 years yet for the physical temple to be rebuilt.
let me ask you this question: I assume you are a male. Not sure, but maybe you are. Do you recite Maimonides' articles of faith every morning? If not, then I don't believe women recite in general those articles. But how about you?
Can't be... Luke 12:49-53.What you say has interesting repercussions. Does the son of Joseph precede the son of David on earth? If so, was Jesus [at his first coming] the suffering servant, the son of Joseph? Did Jesus fulfil all the law regarding Pesach, but not Yom Kippur? Will Yom Kippur be fulfilled at the [second] coming of the King of Kings?
Yep. There's nothing quite like nearly two millennia of oppression laced with Christian-inspired pogroms to give one a bitter view of history. And, still, we've done pretty well for ourselves as a people.Speaking of which, the temple was razed by the Roman armies. 2,000 years yet for the physical temple to be rebuilt.
Again, you have chosen some interesting passages to compare.Can't be... Luke 12:49-53.
This ^^ doesn't fit. Compare it to Isaiah 11:6.
Sorry.
OK, I can see that you are very learned in these aspects. So now -- the Tanach has examples of those that were brought back from the dead. Why do you think these occurrences were written down? Starting with the widow's son that Elijah brought back from a dead state at 1 Kings.I am a male, yes. No I do not recite any articles of faith every morning for the following reasons.
Further, the Rambam is not the only one who compiled a lost of foundations of the Torah. Rabbi Saadya Gaon, Rabbeinu Hananel, Rabbi Yoseph Albo, Rav Avraham ibn Dauth, to name a few.
- The Rambam did not write the "Articles of faith" you are talking about. What the Rambam wrote, when translated from Judeo-Arabic to Hebrew, is called in Hebrew (י"ג עיקרי תורתינו) this translates into "13 foundations/principles of our Torah" and not "principles of faith."
- The Rambam wrote the above in Judeo-Arabic in his commentary to the Mishnah and it is several pages long and extremely detailed.
- You can see HERE how long they really are when translated from Judeo-Arabic into Hebrew.
- There is one interpetation written by an anonymous source which states, "I beleive with full faith...." but the Rambam did not write that. It is an interpretation of what the Rambam wrote.
- You are referencing the Yigdal litergy that is one interpetation of what the Rambam wrote and here is the history of it.
- Leopold Zunz contends that it was written by Daniel ben Yehudah Dayan, who spent eight years in improving it, completing it in 1404. Some see in the last line of "Yigdal" a signature, "Yechiel b'Rav Baruch", though it is unclear who this might be. Hartwig Hirschfeld argues that the famous poet Immanuel of Rome is the author. Immanuel made several attempts at putting the 13 Principles into verse, e.g. a 72-line version entitled “Poem Based on the 13 Articles”. "Yigdal" shares rhythm, rhyme and a number of phrases with this poem.
- The Yigdal you are referecing is not recited every morning in a number of communities such as Yemenite Jews, Syrian Jews, and various Chasidim.
- There is no halakha (Jewish law) that states that women can't recite the Yigdal. There is also no halakha that says that anyone even needs to state it at all.
Sorry for the long answer but it is the Jewish way,
I agree that the history of much of that called Christendom is sordid. But that also has been prophesied. But then, there are instances of Israelites back in the days of the prophets in the Tanach when they killed their own. Also, this does not mean that God cannot and will not gather his sheep to one flock with one shepherd. Sheep to the best of my knowledge are not known to kill one another.Yep.

Was this the same prophet that led you to believe that Pilate was Jewish?I agree that the history of much of that called Christendom is sordid. But that also has been prophesied.

Sorry for the long answer but it is the Jewish way,
Are you talking about the Amidah/Shemonah Esreih? Also called The Eighteen Blessings. I think maybe you're confusing these things. The Amidah is part of Shacharit (morning prayer).I am referencing that many Orthodox men put on the tefillen each day and recite the "13 foundations," etc. of the Torah.
I don't recall learning that he was Jewish.Was this the same prophet that led you to believe that Pilate was Jewish?
Here's an interesting passage from Deuteronomy 34:9-12.No, Joshua was not necessarily lesser. Remember that Moses never accomplished bringing the People into the promised land. Joshua did that. He spoke for God to the people. That makes him a prophet like unto Moses.
OK, I'm referring to the recitation many men make with tefillin. I guess I am wrong because I thought they were to recite the thirteen articles of faith per (not by?) Maimonides when binding the tefillin on themselves.Are you talking about the Amidah/Shemonah Esreih? Also called The Nineteen Blessings. I think maybe you're confusing these things.

Jesus was a nice Jewish man who aspired to be the messiah but failed. He simply did not fulfill the prophecies.Moses delivered a covenant of law to Israel; whilst the Messiah, Jesus Christ, IS the new covenant. The only person who truly fits the bill, as the Prophet, was to be the Messiah. Jesus confirms this by speaking and doing the will of God in righteousness.
