Topic: Messianic age

  Tennis Court: The Messianic "age" and Jewish intertestamental texts etc for ETC/DDW - TheologyWeb Campus
Sure, I think that I would like to discuss the two ages and the messianic days, with the proviso that, despite your title for this thread, it is not just intertestamental Judaica that I find applicable to the issue.
We have unto the age, unto the ages, unto the age of the age, unto the age of the ages, and unto the ages of the ages.
An age to come in which all was set aright, except that those very individuals who had given all in the fight to make it come to pass were not restored, would be a fundamental injustice.

Within Judaism, moshiach is a human being who will be a descendant of King David, and who will usher in a messianic era of peace and prosperity for Israel and all the nations of the world.
The Messianic age will be highlighted by a community of the righteous and dominated by goodness and wisdom.
Through the doctrine of a Messianic figure, Judaism teaches us that every individual human being must live as if he or she, individually, has the responsibility to bring about the messianic age.

 Messianic vs Rabbinic
Messianic Judaism differs in that we rely totally on the Scriptures.
We in Messianic Judaism believe that Yeshua is the promised Messiah and that we don't have to go through the Sages or the Rabbis to know God.
Messianic Judaism formation began with around 30 AD with all of the first believers.

 Is Messiah God?
So in order to prove anything at all about what is predicted of the nature of the Messiah and the messianic age, we must find some Scriptures which we generally agree refer to Messiah or the messianic age.
But since such trouble is contrary to the peace and prosperity that is predicted for the messianic age, we have to conclude that messiah will always do the Will of God in everything he does and so his kingdom will receive a blessing as a result.
And since the messianic age is defined by a lack of evil consequence for the kingdom of Messiah, we must conclude that he will never do anything to offend God.

 The Consummation of the pre
The question of the disciples, as recorded, could therefore only refer to the pre-Messianic age, and its consummation was, as we have seen, associated in their thought with the overthrow of the temple.
But even were it admitted that their nation of the "consummation of the age" was erroneous, the teaching of Jesus was emphatic beyond all rational question that that generation should not pass away before all those things of which they inquired should be fulfilled.
The coming age may, like the morning twilight, cast its beams into the foregoing night, and so the preceding age may partake in its last days of many things which belong to the age to come.

 Mashiach:  The Messiah / Torah 101 / Mechon Mamre
Many modern scholars suggest that the messianic concept was introduced far after the beginning of the Jewish people at Mount Sinai, during the age of the prophets.  They note that the messianic concept is not clearly mentioned anywhere in the Written Torah (the first five books of the Bible).
All of the Jewish people will return from their exile among the nations to their home in Israel (Isaiah 11,11-12; Jeremiah 23,8; 30,3; Hosea 3,4-5), and the law of the Jubilee as well as the rest of the special agricultural laws in the Torah will be reinstated.
In the messianic age, the whole world will recognize YHWH, the LORD God of Israel, as the only true God, and the Torah will be seen as the only true religion (Isaiah 2,3; 11,10; Micah 4,2-3; Zechariah 14,9).  There will be no more murder, robbery, competition, or jealousy.

The fluctuating nature of the doctrine [of the Messianic Age] in former times, the accretion of legends and fanciful details, the debates among the sages on this or that detail, the possibility of a naturalistic as well as supernaturalistic
`present age' and the `age to come' can be seen in a variety of ways, discussion of eschatology may be more fruitfully carried out when a broader meaning of the term is introduced, that of `the ultimate' in terms not just of space and time, but of `ultimate reality'.28
Whilst Messianic Jews in general have yet to take the wider dimensions of the topic on board in their discussion of eschatology, it will be helpful to keep this broad horizon in our description and evaluation of

 [No title]
It is a mark of the messianic age, which corresponds to what other prophets have also predicted.
The fifth element of Daniel's messianic portrait is found in the words "to seal up vision and prophecy." When the messianic age begins, God will, by accomplishing all that was promised through visions and prophecies, stamp His seal on what His servants had spoken.
The sixth achievement of Daniel's messianic portrait involves the anointing of "the Most Holy." Some Jews see this as being fulfilled in the consecration of a rebuilt temple in the days of a yet undisclosed Messiah.

While all classic rabbinic sources discuss afterlife for the soul, there is dispute among the classic Medieval scholars regarding the nature of existence in the "End of Days" after the messianic period.
While Maimonides describes an entirely spiritual existence of souls, which he calls "disembodied intellects," Nahmanides discusses an intensely spiritual existence on Earth, where spirituality and physicality are merged.

 HAGGAI
The age of these prophecies of Isaiah was misconstrued to be their own present time (around 500 B.C.), but theirs was not to be the messianic age described.
References to the Messianic "cleansing of all iniquities" through forgiveness, and reference to the restoration of the Garden of Eden – which ends The Adamic Age, just as it had begun so many years before, places the re-gathering and the messianic cleansing in the same timeframe.
In fact, the meaning, value and purpose of this ending age is the glorification of God through the lives of these individuals who elect His Will and the glorification of these same individuals by God who is their Father.

 The New Age: A Messianic View - Jews for Jesus
New Age teachings are truly religious doctrines even though many proponents avoid that designation because, to them, it sounds narrow-minded.
Although many of the New Age trends follow a distinctly feminist agenda, one need not be a woman to realize that hierarchy tends to hand an all-too-corruptible power to people who must inevitably misuse it.
At the heart of the New Age is a presumption of willingness to learn and to exercise, or to sacrifice on the altar of our choice, to do just about anything to find truth.

It was explained to the house of Israel (Christianity) in chapter 3 that before the death of the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus was NOT the "age of law" because the Torah and the Word of G-d are synonymous terms and the Torah/Word of G-d lives and abides forever (Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 40:8, I Peter [Kefa] 1:25).
The 1,000-year Messianic Age (Athid Lavo) is the last 1,000 years of the 7,000-year redemptive plan of the G-d of Israel.

It may cause dismay and serve as somewhat of a disappoint­ment that, in the opinion of Maimonides, the messianic era will not be all that miraculous.
On the contrary, the Maimonidean theory provides a highly probable scenario in which the messianic era can easily follow the extraordinary changes that are already part of modern-day society.
If one looks with an unpreju­diced eye at the world today, he will see an age where almost all the Jewish prophecies regarding the prelude to the messianic age are coming to pass.

 Judaism - Hope for the Messianic Age
Not only were the Jews to be freed from all foreign domination and to be raised to a position of supremacy over all the earth, the Messianic age, the age of the kingdom, was to be a period of unexampled fruitfulness, of unmeasured health and prosperity, of unbroken peace and joy.
Upon this feature of the coming kingdom the greatest stress was naturally laid, and it was widely believed that such perfect and permanent holiness would be secured through the influence of the divine Spirit, who would then be poured out upon the faithful and would guide and control all their activities.
The presence of the Spirit is represented in many Jewish writing a s a characteristic mark of the Messianic age, which was thus to be distinguished from the present eon with its merely human powers and energies.

But, now, the prophecy of the golden age is brought together with the prophecy of a coming ruler, the Messiah.
So, in other words, we now learn that the golden age is a messianic age, the consummation of the kingdom of God in the world will be brought to pass by the rule of this coming King.

 The Sabbath and Salvation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
A second Messianic feature of the Sabbath years can be seen in the trumpet blast by means of a ram's horn (yobel-from which derives the term "jubilee").35 The imagery of the Jubilee's trumpet blast is used by Isaiah to describe the Messianic ingathering of the exiles (Is 27:13; cf.
A third Messianic feature related to the trumpet blast is the date of the tenth day of the seventh month (Atonement Day) on which the ram's horn was blown to inaugurate the year of jubilee (Lev 25:9).
This interpretation suggests that the Messianic rest (11:28-29) and the Messianic lordship over the Sabbath (12:8) are connected theologically in Matthew by the same fulfillment-motif of the Messianic redemption prefigured by the Sabbath.

Assuming that he existed, and assuming that the Christian scriptures are accurate in describing him (both matters that are debatable), he simply did not fulfill the mission of the moshiach as Jews have always understood it and as it is described in the Torah.
The moshiach and the messianic age lie in the future, not in the past.
