Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus?: 12 Key Prophecies That Unfold God's Plan

How will we be able to recognize the Messiah?

Christians claim that Jesus is the Messiah, but how can we know if that is true? Jesus revealed the truth about himself through passages in the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings—which together comprise the Tanakh (the Old Testament).

In Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus?, Messianic Jewish author David Brickner likewise guides us through twelve prophecies from all three sections of the Tanakh to show:

• why God promised a Messiah.
• how God planned to bless the whole world through the Jewish people.
• the location and strange circumstances of the Messiah's birth.
• how and why the Messiah would suffer and die.
• how the Messiah would exceed human limitations . . . and more.

You’ll also find stories of contemporary Jewish people who discovered compelling connections to Jesus in their own Bibles.

Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or a committed believer—if you are in search of truth, this book is for you. Come and see how God’s timeless plan to redeem and renew the world still shines as a beacon of hope today.

He is the author of several books, including Christ in the Feast of Tabernacles, Future Hope—A Jewish Christian Look at the End of the World and Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus?
