Love, Walter And Debbiee John 5:43-47 if another shall come, etc. — How strikingly has this been verified in the history of the Jews! “From the time of the true Christ to our time, sixty-four false Christs have been reckoned by whom they have been deceived” [Bengel]. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only after Jesus Christ but before many came self proclaimed Christ or the Messiah. And everyone had followers till the time when they died. That was the reason as a proof that they were not the Messiah. One of the prerequisites to Messiah was that he will live forever which it was interpreted to them that the Messiah will never die. The scripture said that many will come to claim that they are the Christ as to deceive the people and many had already come who had claimed to be the Christ and it was proved that they were not. People were expecting something from them which they did not accomplish and God was looking forwards to a lot of things from the Christ which they did not accomplish. With the prophetic and the weak points in the Law that show there were a lot of things that needed to be accomplished that were credited towards to the coming of the Messiah which it was impossible for the Law to fulfilled them. As the time progress the Lord caused a prophecy to come about the Christ which show that the Christ has not yet come, which set aside all those other notions of How the people had perceived the profile of Christ. One of them was that that the Christ would be Elijah who was taken up and will come back. Those people believed that Elijah was indeed the Christ from the beginning while he was yet walking the earth. And in the appointed time God will send Elijah back to earth equipped to carry the work of Christ. And then God caused a prophecy to come forwards that said that the Christ has not yet be born. And other prophetic about the Messiah that they were not fulfilled one of them it was that the Christ will be born from one of the young women from among them an Israeli young woman as opposed to Issac who was born from Sarah and we know how in the book of Genesis or the way Samson was born, that's very powerful the way he was born when an angel announced to his mother to be that she will have a Son and to her husband. And she was older and she was married. And the birth of Samuel from a miracle from a promise of God that she will give birth to a Son. She was also married and not a virgin...that time the women were virgins till they got married. And then again the prophetic came in Isaiah about the Messiah how he was yet to be born from a woman that was not yet married through the intervention of God a young woman virgin to the teeth because she was dedicated to God as a prospect to be chosen by God for his proposed we can see that for the response of Mary to the announcement of the Angel Cabriel to her, it is that Mary was well pleased and receptive because the people were waiting for that to happen and were looking forwards to the chosen young woman and inspite of that some confused John the Baptist as the Christ. But John knew that he was not the one and that he will meet the Christ during his Life and that God will tell him who he was or is. AMEN.
