Overview

Jesus: Is He Israel’s Messiah? Indeed he is! This book seeks to give evidence for Jesus being the Messiah of Israel and the world by drawing on various sources ranging from certain ideas observed in the Dead Sea Scrolls produced by the Qumran community, including illuminating certain writings concerning Messiah generated by ancient rabbis. The author also seeks to establish many prophecies fulfilled by Christ as spoken of in the Tanakh (Old Testament) and gives a strong case for miracles and the resurrection of Jesus. An exposition of selected parables taught by Jesus at the end of this book will reveal that the very claims he made about himself came from no other than Messiah-authenticated by his own ministry of miracles, fulfilled prophesy, performing resurrections including his own literal and physical rising from the dead.

Praise for Jesus: Is He the Messiah of Israel?

”Keehus has produced an excellent work on the issue of messianic prophecy in which he not only provides evidence of how the messianic prophecies of the Hebrew Bible were fulfilled by Yeshua in the New Testament, but he also adds evidence from different forms of rabbinic writings to further substantiate the case. Furthermore, rather than a straight presentation, the book is put together in the form of dialogue, which makes it easy to read and to follow the logical argumentation. This book is highly recommended."

“This book covers numerous supernatural predictions made hundreds of years in advance that were fulfilled by Jesus the Messiah. In light of its apologetic value, it makes a worthwhile read, especially for seekers and young Christians. I highly recommend it."
--Norman Geisler
Professor of Apologetics
Veritas Evangelical Seminary

"I highly recommend this book as a concise primer for the predictive prophecies of Christ in the Old Testament. These prophecies prove that Jesus is the divine Messiah, and also provide powerful apologetic evidence that the Bible indeed is the Word of God."
--Ron Rhodes
Professor of Theology
Dallas Theological Seminary

"Jesus: Is He Israel’s Messiah? provides a fresh look at the Messianic claims of Yeshua of Nazareth. Nick Keehus draws on Rabbinic and other resources in a manner that makes it accessible to a young reader today--especially Jewish Israeli."
