Yahshua Christ, also known in more recent times as Jesus, is the Messiah promised in the Old Testament and a physical embodiment of Yahweh God on Earth. During his ministry in Judea, He taught many followers, selected twelve core students, and performed miracles for the remant Israelites in Palestine. His actions and teachings brought Him into conflict with the ruling class of Judea, particularly the Pharisees, many of whom were of Edomite descent by the time of His ministry. This tension came to a head when Judas Iscariot, an Idumean, betrayed Yahshua to the Pharisees, who subsequently put Him on trial and orchestrated His crucifixion.
The crucifixion of Christ was explicitly foretold in the Old Testament, and as Christ repeated several times it was a neccesary event for the fulfillment of scripture. Being Yahweh God incarnate on Earth as a man, the death of Christ on the cross released the wife (Israel) from the law of the Husband (Yahweh), allowing for a fruitful and eternal remarriage in fulfillment of several prophecies. Additionally, Yahshua's resurrection three days after His burial serves as a testimony that all Adamic men and women will also one day be resurrected and join Him in a glorified state. This time will come following the prophesied Fall of Babylon, when Christ returns to slay His enemies and usher in a Kingdom on Earth which He Himself will rule as King.
The length of Yahshua Christ's ministry can be measured through counting the passovers described in the Gospel of John, which amounting up to three and a half years coincides with the description given in Daniel's 70 Weeks. The feats and accomplishments of Yahshua's ministry are described in the four canonical Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Etymology of Name
Of the successor to Moses, Joshua of the Biblical book by that name, Yahweh says at Exodus 23:21
“Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.”
The name Ἰησοῦς being in the Greek Septuagint that same name which was translated from the Hebrew into English as Joshua, therefore the name of Christ is Yahshua – which means Yahweh Saves.
It is possible to see the Greek Ἰησοῦς derived from Hebrew words meaning simply “He Saves”, however this could only be a play on words.
Life and Biography
Divinity
Natvity
See the article Race of Christ
During the time of Christ, many Israelites who were awaiting a Messiah were aware that his arrival was imminent due to the clear timeline outlined in the prophecy of Daniel's 70 weeks. This expectation is evident in the Gospels, as many believed John the Baptist to be the Messiah and the Samaritan woman also recognized that the Messiah "comes".
Geneaology
See the article Geneaology of Christ
The geneaology of Christ is provided for in the accounts of Matthew and Luke which demonstrate His unadulterated and pure descent from David, Abraham, and Adam. The geneaologies which were available to the ambassadors were incomplete, largely because of the burning of the geneaological records by Herod. There are many diverse theories concerning the discrepancies between Matthew and Luke's geneaologies, with the most logical being that Matthew incorporated kinsman redemption in an officlal line to the throne of David, while Luke gave a more literal line of physical descent.
Early Life
Very little is known of Yahshua's early life besides His being found by His mother and father in the temple at the age of twelve.
Ministry
Luke's account provides information that Yahshua started His ministry at the age of thirty, which was the minimum age requirement for a man to begin teaching the children of Israel.
