making?" Matthew 26:59 - 62
"The head cohanim and the whole Sanhedrin tried to find
evidence against Yeshua, so that they might have him put
to death, but they couldn't find any. For many people

14

over." Daniel 9:26

share for each soldier, with the under-robe left over. Now

top to bottom; so they said to one another, "We shouldn't
tear it in pieces; let's draw for it." This happened in order

This is why the soldiers did these things." John 19:23 -

faithful one see the Abyss." Psalm 16:10 came up and took hold of his feet as they fell down in
front of him. Then Yeshua said to them, "Don't be afraid!
" But God will redeem me from Sh'ol's control, because he Go and tell my brothers to go to the Galil, and they will see

"But he said, "Don't be so surprised! You're looking for

Yeshua from Natzeret, who was executed on the stake. He
has risen, he's not here! Look at the place where they laid
him." Mark 16:6

"They were still talking about it when -- there he was,

standing among them! Startled and terrified, they thought
they were seeing a ghost." Luke 24:36 - 37

"Men of Isra'el! Listen to this! Yeshua from Natzeret was a

man demonstrated to you to have been from God by the
powerful works, miracles and signs that God performed
through him in your presence. You yourselves know this.
This man was arrested in accordance with God's
predetermined plan and foreknowledge; and, through the
agency of persons not bound by the Torah, you nailed him
up on a stake and killed him! "But God has raised him up
and freed him from the suffering of death; it was
impossible that death could keep its hold on him. For
David says this about him: 'I saw ADONAI always before
me, for he is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken.
For this reason, my heart was glad; and my tongue
rejoiced; and now my body too will live on in the certain
hope that you will not abandon me to Sh'ol or let your
Holy One see decay." Acts 2:22 - 27

 The Messiah Would Be Resurrected From The Grave After Three Days

The Messiah Would Ascend To Heaven And Sit At The Right Hand Of God
God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
"After saying this, he was taken up before their eyes; and
"A psalm of David: ADONAI says to my Lord, "Sit at my a cloud hid him from their sight." Acts 1:9
right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool."
Psalm 110:1 "So then, after he had spoken to them, the Lord Yeshua
was taken up into heaven and sat at the right hand of
God" Mark 16:19

The evidence is overwhelming.

Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel, promised by God.
If you were to put this case before a trial judge and jury, you have easily satisfied the burden of proof. There are over
50 promises used in this presentation. Many offered more than one account, that our Messiah has fulfilled God's
promises as revealed to God's prophets centuries before. All God's Promises revealed to His Prophets are at least
400 years prior to their fulfillment by Jesus. Some promises go back to the time of Moses, over 1400 years before
their fulfillment.
In addition to the testimonial accounts presented here, you also have eyewitness accounts of His resurrection in that
over 500 people witnessed, and therefore could testify to His resurrection:
"And that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once;
of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some have fallen asleep. And that He was seen of James and
then all the apostles. And last of all He was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. For I am the least of the
apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I
am what I am: And His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly that they
all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." 1 Corinthians 15:6 - 10
Can you truly discredit over 500 witnesses that could testify to seeing our Messiah after His death and burial?
In fact, it wasn't just a passing occurrence. Jesus spent forty days after His resurrection teaching His disciples about
the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God:
"Until the day in which He was taken up, after that He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments unto the
apostles whom He had chosen: To whom also He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs,
being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God" Acts 1:2 - 3
