@IkotunEmmy@rukky_nate@solotiny There is no element of truth to that fictional tale. And, yes, you are right. Adam has been ‘made some offers’ before Eve was brought to him. The Bible clearly states it. ‘But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him’. Not other human but other creation.
🎨 What If God Painted His Messiah Across Fifteen Centuries?
"Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself." (Luke 24:27)
The greatest masterpiece ever painted was never placed in a museum.
It was written in the pages of the Tanakh.
Every masterpiece begins with a single brushstroke.
God's masterpiece was no different.
The Artist was God.
The canvas was the Tanakh.
Every generation added another brushstroke.
The first belonged to Moses.
Long before Isaiah described the Suffering Servant...
Before Micah named Bethlehem...
Before Daniel foretold Messiah's coming...
God had already begun painting.
Nearly fifteen centuries before Bethlehem, Moses stood before Israel and made an astonishing promise.
"The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites. You must listen to Him." (Deuteronomy 18:15)
God immediately expanded the promise.
"I will put My words in His mouth, and He will tell them everything I command Him. I Myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to Him." (Deuteronomy 18:18–19)
This was no ordinary prophet.
This was the Prophet.
Centuries later, Yeshua made an astonishing claim:
"If you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me." (John 5:46)
Was He exaggerating?
Or had God been painting His Messiah all along?
❖ The First Brushstroke
Before Moses ever spoke about the coming Prophet, God was already shaping his life into a prophetic pattern.
A wicked king sought to destroy Moses in infancy.
A wicked king sought to destroy Yeshua in infancy. (Exodus 1–2; Matthew 2:13–18)
Moses came out of Egypt.
Yeshua came out of Egypt. (Hosea 11:1; Matthew 2:15)
Moses ascended the mountain and proclaimed God's Law.
Yeshua ascended the mountain and revealed its fullest meaning. (Exodus 19–20; Matthew 5–7)
Moses fed Israel with manna.
Yeshua declared,
"I am the Bread of Life." (John 6:35)
Moses lifted up the bronze serpent so that those who looked in faith might live.
Yeshua said,
"Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up." (Numbers 21:8–9; John 3:14–15)
Moses longed to behold God's glory.
John later testified,
"We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son." (Exodus 33:18; John 1:14)
These are not isolated coincidences.
They are deliberate brushstrokes.
The Torah keeps whispering:
Someone greater is coming.
❖ The Masterpiece Waits
The Torah closes with an extraordinary statement.
"Since then, no prophet has arisen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face..." (Deuteronomy 34:10–12)
Think about that.
The very book that promised a Prophet like Moses ends by saying that no such prophet had yet appeared.
The Torah ends with anticipation.
The masterpiece is still unfinished.
Israel waits.
❖ More Colors on the Canvas
Generation after generation, another prophet picked up the brush.
Isaiah added the wounds.
"He was pierced for our transgressions... the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53:5–6)
Jeremiah added the covenant.
"I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah." (Jeremiah 31:31–34)
Ezekiel added the new heart.
"I will give you a new heart... and put My Spirit within you." (Ezekiel 36:25–27)
Daniel added the appointed time.
"After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be cut off." (Daniel 9:26)
Zechariah added Israel's future repentance.
"They will look on Me, the One they have pierced." (Zechariah 12:10)
The masterpiece became clearer with every generation.
"Whereas the redemption by Moses was temporary and comparatively small, that of the Messiah would be eternal and absolute." — Alfred Edersheim
❖ The Greater Moses
Then Yeshua appeared.
Not merely another prophet.
The Prophet Moses promised.
The crowds recognized the connection.
"Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world." (John 6:14)
Like Moses, He interceded for His people.
Unlike Moses, He could truly bear their sin.
After the golden calf, Moses pleaded,
"Forgive their sin—but if not, blot me out of the book You have written." (Exodus 32:31–32)
His compassion was genuine.
His sacrifice could never accomplish what was needed.
Isaiah had already revealed the greater Mediator.
"The LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53:6)
Moses offered himself.
Yeshua gave Himself.
Hebrews reaches the only possible conclusion.
"Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses." (Hebrews 3:3)
Moses was faithful in God's house.
Yeshua is faithful over God's house.
Moses was the servant.
Yeshua is the Son.
Everything Moses foreshadowed...
Yeshua fulfilled.
❖ The New Covenant
At Mount Sinai, Moses stood between God and Israel as mediator.
He built an altar.
Sacrificed animals.
Sprinkled the blood.
Then declared,
"This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you." (Exodus 24:8)
The covenant was holy.
Yet Israel broke it almost immediately.
The Law revealed sin.
It restrained sin.
But it could not remove sin or transform the human heart.
Then Jeremiah announced something astonishing.
"The days are coming... when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah." (Jeremiah 31:31)
Notice the recipients.
Israel and Judah.
God promised not merely forgiveness, but transformation.
"I will put My law within them... I will forgive their wickedness and remember their sins no more." (Jeremiah 31:33–34)
Ezekiel explains how.
"I will give you a new heart... and put My Spirit within you." (Ezekiel 36:25–27)
Not merely new commands.
New hearts.
Not merely outward obedience.
An inward work of God's Spirit.
Then, during Passover, Yeshua took the cup and echoed Moses' words from Sinai.
"This cup is the new covenant in My blood." (Luke 22:20)
Moses inaugurated the covenant with the blood of sacrificed animals.
Yeshua inaugurated the promised New Covenant with His own blood.
Hebrews declares,
"Christ is the mediator of a better covenant." (Hebrews 8:6; 9:15)
The New Covenant does not replace God's promises to Israel.
It secures them.
Forgiveness.
A new heart.
The indwelling Holy Spirit.
And one day, Israel's national restoration exactly as Jeremiah and Ezekiel foresaw. (Jeremiah 31:35–37; Ezekiel 36:24–28; Romans 11:25–29)
❖ The Artist Signs His Work
The masterpiece reaches its climax on another mountain.
Standing beside Yeshua are Moses and Elijah.
The Law.
The Prophets.
Both bear witness to the Son.
Then the Father's voice breaks the silence.
"This is My beloved Son... Listen to Him!" (Matthew 17:5)
Those words echo Moses.
"You must listen to Him." (Deuteronomy 18:15)
Peter later removes all doubt.
"Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me... You must listen to everything He tells you.'" (Acts 3:22–23)
Stephen repeats the same truth. (Acts 7:37)
The apostles did not invent this connection.
They proclaimed the One the Scriptures had revealed.
Then Yeshua came.
The Prophet had come.
The Servant had come.
The King had come.
The Mediator had come.
The New Covenant had come.
The masterpiece had become a Person.
The Artist was God.
The canvas was the Tanakh.
Moses laid the first brushstroke.
Every generation added another color.
The Prophets filled in the masterpiece.
The Father identified the Son.
The apostles proclaimed the One the Scriptures had revealed.
The masterpiece is Yeshua, Israel's Messiah.
The masterpiece had been hanging in the pages of the Tanakh all along.
@EnebeliJaphet@Truth_Tribunal@MasterMaliq Actually, according to what it means to be a prophet, David was a prophet and the Bible even calls him a prophet- Acts 2:29-30. But the original post was ignorant as he’s always.

@chuskynoah@leyeConnect Actually separating the real ones from the the fake is judging. The Bible never told us not to judge. The Bible told us not to judge hypocritically. We are to judge every spirit if they are from God or not.
@chuskynoah@leyeConnect It was never God. He is a false as false can be but the false humility mask the unscriptural teachings and practices in that church.

My new piece in @DemJournal on why Congress should repeal expensing and move back toward economic depreciation for large businesses, as was the law for most of the income tax’s history. Could raise ~$2 trillion over 10 years. Here’s 4 reasons why: 1/17 https://t.co/2nI3TEraHb
