What part of the Hebrew OT prophecies did Jesus Not fulfill ?___________
Jesus is the head of the Christian congregation.
[Eph 5v23; 1st Cor 11v3]
Connected to Jesus are both 'minor' and 'major' fulfillments of Scripture.
Jesus was clear at Luke [19 vs11-15] that the kingdom of God would not instantly or immediately appear back then.
First, the good news of God's kingdom would have to be proclaimed on a global or world-wide scale before Jesus, as the messianic king of God's kingdom, would usher in Peace on Earth toward men of goodwill.
[Matthew 24v14]
Jesus did not:
1. bring peace to the world (Isa. 2:4, 11:6, Micah 4:3)
2. gather all Jews back to Israel (Isa. 43:5-6, 27:12-13, 11:12)
3. rebuild the Temple (Ezek. 37:26-28, Micah 4:1)
4. unite humans in the worship of the Jewish God and Torah observance (Zech. 14:9, Isa. 11:9, 40:5, Zeph. 3:9)
Furthermore, NT writers forced prophetic interpretations on verses that were not prophetic, or simply mistranslated certain parts of the OT, either out of ignorance, or again, trying to force prophetic interpretation to fit Jesus.
1. Isaiah 7:14-does not use the Hebrew word for virgin, 'b'tullah', but young woman, 'ha'alma'. Also, this verse was not a messianic prophecy, but was speaking of one of Isaiah's own sons.
2. Jewish descent comes from the fathers side, so Jesus could not have been considered a descendant of King David. (Gen. 49:10, Isa. 11:1, Jer. 23:5, Eze. 34:23-24, Num. 1:18, Ezra 2:59)
3. The 'suffering servant' of Isaiah 53 refers not to Jesus, but to the Jewish people.
4. The messiah was not to be "son of God", or God incarnate. The OT is clear that God is not man, and does not take human form.
5. One of the ancestors of Jesus is Jeconiah (Matt. 1:11), who was cursed, and none of his offspring could ever be king. (Jer. 22:30, 36:30)
6. The coming of Elijah-this is found in Malachi 4:5-6. Jesus said John the Baptist fulfilled this, yet John denied it. Furthermore, the passage in Malachi states that it would be Elijah himself, not someone in 'the spirit of Elijah'.
Christians counter the failed prophecies by exclaiming that Jesus will fulfill them at his second coming. However, there is never a 'second coming' mentioned at all in the OT. These are not spurious, or subtle. These are major concepts that are clear in the Bible, and are major reasons why Jews reject Jesus as the messiah.
