Messiah is a Jew!

Prophesy and the Coming King of All Israel

The Messiah has to come from Judah:

Query from Kitty Corbett :
Yair bases his declaration that Netanyahu cannot be the promised messiah on his assertion that the Davidic lineage must be only through the paternal side, whereas Netanyahu's Davidic lineage is through his mother's side. I am wondering, is this only traditional Jewish thought, or is there Biblical scripture for it?
I'm copying Yair on this email and hopefully he will see it and respond.

Brit-Am Reply:

The Messiah will come from Judah:

Genesis (NKJV) 4:
9 JUDAH IS A LION’S WHELP;
FROM THE PREY, MY SON, YOU HAVE GONE UP.
HE BOWS DOWN, HE LIES DOWN AS A LION;
AND AS A LION, WHO SHALL ROUSE HIM?
10 THESCEPTER SHALL NOT DEPART FROM JUDAH,
NOR A LAWGIVER FROM BETWEEN HIS FEET,
UNTIL SHILOH COMES;
AND TO HIM SHALL BE THE OBEDIENCE OF THE PEOPLE.
11 BINDING HIS DONKEY TO THE VINE,
AND HIS DONKEY’S COLT TO THE CHOICE VINE,
HE WASHED HIS GARMENTS IN WINE,
AND HIS CLOTHES IN THE BLOOD OF GRAPES.
12 HIS EYES ARE DARKER THAN WINE,
AND HIS TEETH WHITER THAN MILK.

Tribal Affiliation went through the father.

Numbers 1:
2 “TAKE A CENSUS OF ALL THE CONGREGATION OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, BY THEIR FAMILIES, BY THEIR FATHERS’ HOUSES, ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF NAMES, EVERY MALE INDIVIDUALLY.

Numbers 1:4
AND WITH YOU THERE SHALL BE A MAN FROM EVERY TRIBE, EACH ONE THE HEAD OF HIS FATHER’S HOUSE.

Numbers 2:
34 THUS THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID ACCORDING TO ALL THAT THE LORD COMMANDED MOSES; SO THEY CAMPED BY THEIR STANDARDS AND SO THEY BROKE CAMP, EACH ONE BY HIS FAMILY, ACCORDING TO THEIR FATHERS’ HOUSES.

===========

The future Messiah will be from the Tribe of Judah and a descendant of David, Davd was the son of Jesse.

Isaiah (NKJV) 11:
1 THERE SHALL COME FORTH A ROD FROM THE STEM OF JESSE,
AND A BRANCH SHALL GROW OUT OF HIS ROOTS.

2-Chronicles 7:
18 THEN I WILL ESTABLISH YOUR ROYAL THRONE AS I COVENANTED WITH YOUR FATHER DAVID, SAYING, 'YOU SHALL NOT LACK A MAN TO BE RULER IN ISRAEL.'

Jeremiah 33:
15 IN THOSE DAYS AND AT THAT TIME I WILL CAUSE A RIGHTEOUS BRANCH OF DAVID TO SPRING FORTH; AND HE SHALL EXECUTE JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS ON THE EARTH. 16 IN THOSE DAYS JUDAH WILL BE SAVED AND JERUSALEM WILL DWELL IN SAFETY; AND THIS IS THE NAME BY WHICH SHE WILL BE CALLED: THE LORD IS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 17 FOR THUS SAYS THE LORD, DAVID SHALL NEVER LACK A MAN TO SIT ON THE THRONE OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.

===========
The Ten Tribes will recognize the Messiah son of David from Judah:

Hosea 3:
5 AFTERWARD SHALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL RETURN, AND SEEK THE LORD THEIR GOD, AND DAVID THEIR KING; AND SHALL COME TREMBLING UNTO THE LORD AND TO HIS GOODNESS IN THE END OF DAYS.

There is a Midrash (Midrash Shmuel 13, Yalkut Shimeoni-2, remez 106, Rashi on Hosea 3:5) based on verses in Hosea chapter 3 that says that when Israel returns to seek God, the Temple, and the Kingdom of David then the Redemption will come. From the context the exiled Ten Tribes are being referred to. They are the ones that have to make this search!

Needed by the Ten Tribes: The Almighty; Kingdom of the House of David; the Temple.

The Midrash (Midrash Shmuel 13, Yalkut Shomeoni-2, remez 106, Rashi on Hosea 3;5) : ##RABBI SHIMEON THE SON OF MENASIAH SAID: ISRAEL WILL NOT SEE A BLESSING UNTIL THEY RETURN AND SEEK OUT THE THREE THINGS THEY REJECTED. AS IT SAYS IN HOSEA:"AFTERWARD SHALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL RETURN, AND SEEK THE LORD THEIR GOD, AND DAVID THEIR KING; AND SHALL FEAR THE LORD AND HIS GOODNESS IN THE LATTER DAYS" (HOSEA 3:5). THIS MEANS: [HOSEA 3:5] AFTERWARD SHALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL RETURN, AND SEEK THE LORD THEIR GOD, - THIS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. AND DAVID THEIR KING; - THIS IS THE KINGDOM OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID. AND SHALL FEAR THE LORD AND HIS GOODNESS IN THE LATTER DAYS: THIS IS THE BUILDING OF THE THIRD TEMPLE.

Psalms 2
I WILL PROCLAIM THE LORD’S DECREE:
HE SAID TO ME, “YOU ARE MY SON;
TODAY I HAVE BECOME YOUR FATHER.
8 ASK ME,
AND I WILL MAKE THE NATIONS YOUR INHERITANCE,
THE ENDS OF THE EARTH YOUR POSSESSION.
9 YOU WILL BREAK THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON;
YOU WILL DASH THEM TO PIECES LIKE POTTERY.”
10 THEREFORE, YOU KINGS, BE WISE;
BE WARNED, YOU RULERS OF THE EARTH.
11 SERVE THE LORD WITH FEAR
AND CELEBRATE HIS RULE WITH TREMBLING.
12 KISS HIS SON [JOIN UNTO RIGHEOUSNESS] , OR HE WILL BE ANGRY.

Rabbi Zvi Kalischer (1795-1874):
# And so the Prophet Hosea predicted,
"ALSO, JUDAH HAS SET A HARVEST FOR YOU, WHEN I RETURNED THE CAPTIVITY OF MY PEOPLE" (HOSEA 6:11).
"[COMMENTATORS IN THE PAST FOUND THE ABOVE VERSE DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN] BUT IN MY VIEW IT IS EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE ACCORDING TO THE CONTEXT [SINCE THE PRECEDING VERSES] SPEAK OF EPHRAIM WHO BEYOND DOUBT REPRESENTS THE LOST TEN TRIBES THROUGHOUT THE RELEVANT CHAPTER. HOSEA [IN THIS SAME CHAPTER SIX] ALSO SAYS "IN THE THIRD DAY HE WILL RAISE US UP" (HOSEA 6:2) WHICH ACCORDING TO RASHI IS REFERRING TO THE "BUILDING OF THE THIRD TEMPLE". AFTER THAT THE PROPHET CONTINUES HIS EXHORTATION AND SAYS, "O EPHRAIM, WHAT SHALL I DO UNTO THEE?" (HOSEA 6:4) AND CONTINUES IN THE SAME VEIN HE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEGAN [WHICH WAS CONNECTED WITH THE "THIRD DAY" AND INTERPRETED AS APPLYING TO BUILDING THE THIRD TEMPLE]. THE PROPHET THEN SAYS [THE ABOVE QUOTED VERSE, HOSEA 6:11], ADDRESSING HIMSELF TO EPHRAIM, "ALSO, JUDAH HAS SET A HARVEST FOR YOU, WHEN I RETURNED THE CAPTIVITY OF MY PEOPLE" (I.E. OF EPHRAIM). PRIOR TO THE COMING OF A GREAT COMMUNITY, JUDAH [I.E. THE JEWS] WILL PREPARE A HARVEST BEFORE YOU (EPHRAIM), AFTER THAT THERE WILL BE A GREAT INGATHERING, AND AFTERWARDS INDUBITABLY WILL COME THE [PRELIMINARY] MESSIAH, SON OF JOSEPH, AND RULE IN JERUSALEM. SOME TIME LATER, WILL ARRIVE GOG [WHO WILL WAGE WAR AGAINST ISRAEL AND BE DEFEATED] AND SO THE NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY WILL BE SANCTIFIED.
