Prophet or Messiah

 

 

 

 

 

Was Yahusha a prophet or the messiah or both prophet and messiah?

What is the meaning of the word Messiah – messiah means anointed (H4899 / G5547).

H4899: Mâshı̂yach. Definition according to Brown-drive-briggs1) anointed, anointed one

1a) of the Messiah, Messianic prince

1b) of the king of Israel

1c) of the high priest of Israel

1d) of Cyrus

1e) of the patriarchs as anointed kings

Prophets were occasionally anointed to their office, and are called messiahs, or anointed.

Webster: Messiah – anointed.

 

Psalm 105:15 saying, touch not My anointed (messiah); and do My prophets no harm.

If Psalm 105:15 is about Yahusha the Anointed (Messiah), is it also confirming in this verse that He is that prophet mentioned by Moses in Deuteronomy 18:18.

 

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of Adonai Yahuah is on Me, because Yahuah has anointed (messiah) Me to preach the good news to the meek. Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of Yahuah is upon Me and because of this, He has anointed (messiah) Me to declare the good news to the poor.

Pslam2:2 The kings of the earth have placed themselves; yea, the rulers have plotted together against Yahuah and His Messiah (Anointed). Acts 4:25-26 who by the mouth of Your servant David have said, ‘Why did the gentiles rage, and the people plot in vain? ‘The sovereigns of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against Yahuah and against His Messiah (Anointed).’

In Isaiah 61:1 plus Luke 4:18 it mentions the Anointed and in Psalm 2:2 plus Acts 4:25-26 it mentions the Messiah. These are considered to be Yahusha, if so, then these verses confirm that Anointed and Messiah is the same meaning.

In the so-called New Testament, we find Yahusha called the Messiah (Christ) and also a Prophet.

 

Messiah

Matthew 1:1 The Book of the genealogy of Yahusha Messiah (Anointed) the Son of David, the son of Abraham.

Matthew 16:16 And answering, Simon Peter said, You are the Messiah(Anointed), the Son of the living Elohim.

Matthew 16:20 Then He warned His disciples that they should tell no one that He is Yahusha the Messiah(Anointed).

Matthew 24:5 For many will come in My name, saying, I am the Messiah(Anointed). And they will cause many to be deceived.

John 4:25-26 The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah (Anointed) is coming, when that One comes, He will teach us all things. Yahusha said to her, “I who am speaking to you am He.”

John 7:41 Others said, this is the Messiah(Anointed).

Acts 4:26 The kings of the earth have risen and rulers have deliberated as one against Yahuah and against His Messiah(Anointed)."

Prophet

Matthew 21:11 And the crowds said, this is Yahusha, the Prophet, the One from Nazareth of Galilee.

Luke 7:16 And fear took hold of all; and they glorified Yahuah, saying, a great prophet has risen up among us; and, Yahuah has visited His people.

John 4:19 The woman said to Him, my Master, I perceive that You are aprophet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This woman in John 4:19-26 says in two places he is the Messiah and a Prophet: John 4:19, he is the Prophet and in John 4:25 he is the Messiah. Is this not playing on words and confusing.

John 6:14 Then seeing what miraculous sign Yahshua did, the men said, this is truly the Prophet, the One coming into the world.

John 7:40 Then hearing the Word, many of the crowd said, this is truly the Prophet.

In John7:40-41; some call him the Messiah and some call him the Prophet.

John 9:17 They said to the blind one again, what do you say about Him, because He opened your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

Acts 3:22-23 For Moses indeed said to the fathers, "Yahuah your Elohim will raise up to you a Prophet from among your brothers, One like me; you shall hear Him according to all things," whatever He may speak to you. And it shall be that of every soul, whoever should not hear that Prophet shall perish from among the people.

Now where in the so-called Old Testament does it speak of the Messiah and the Prophet.

Messiah

Daniel 9:25-26 Know, then, and understand that from the issuing of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem, to Messiah(Anointed) the Prince, shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with a plaza and a trench, even in times of affliction. And after sixty-two weeks, Messiah (Anointed) shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people of a coming ruler shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end shall be with the flood, and ruins are determined, and war shall be until the end.

Psalm 2:2 The kings of the earth have placed themselves; yea, the rulers have plotted together against Yahuah and His Messiah(Anointed).

Prophet

Deuteronomy 18:15 Yahuah your Elohim shall raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, one like me; you shall listen to him.

Deuteronomy 18:18 I shall raise up a prophet to them from among their brothers, one like you; and I will put My Words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many scripture verses in the OT speak of prophets but Deuteronomy 18:15 & 18 is the only place where Yahuah says He will put His Words in His mouth and speak actually what Yahuah commanded.

Yahusha says in John 7:16 “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

Now let us search in scripture who was anointed.

Anointed

2 Samuel 22:51 “A tower of deliverance is He to His sovereign, and showing kindness to His anointed(messiah), to David and his seed, forever.”

 

1 Samuel 24:6 And he said to his men, far be it from me, by Yahuah. I shall not do this thing to my master, to the anointed of Yahuah, to put out my hand against him. For he is the anointed (messiah) of Yahuah.

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of Yahuah is on Me, because Yahuah has anointed (Messiah) Me to preach the good news to the meek. He has sent Me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, and complete opening to the bound ones.

Psalm 132:17 I will make the horn of David to sprout; I have arranged a lamp for My anointed (Messiah).

John 1:41 This one first found his own brother Simon and tells him; we have found the Anointed (Messiah).

Many other people where anointed (messiah) example: King Melchizedek, King Saul, Aaron and his sons etc.

It is very clear in scripture that Yahusha is that one that Yahuah spoke about in Deuteronomy 18:15-20 as Yahusha says in seven places in the book of John: 3:34, 7:16, 8:28, 8:40, 12:49, 14:24, 17:8  that “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

This is proof that Yahusha is the True Messiah (also known as the Anointed), the True Prophet.

So, to stop the confusion, Yahusha is the Anointed Prophet or the Messiah Prophet who came to bring the Words (Good News) that Yahuah placed in His mouth.
