One of the most influential rabbis in the world, Rabbi Schneider uses Jewish background to address pressing theological queries in latest book

COLUMBUS, Ohio — In his groundbreaking, new book, “Messianic Prophecy Revealed,” Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider helps readers peer in to the nature and mystery of the Godhead.  

When it comes to understanding the unique attributes of Christianity, Rabbi Schneider offers a unique viewpoint as a Jewish man.

“In words that are familiar to many, Jesus tells us in John 3:16 that ‘God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.’ This foundational text may sound simple to many people, but as a Jewish person, I can tell you the idea that God has a Son is very difficult for us to comprehend,” Rabbi Schneider explained.

“For centuries, Jewish people have been raised hearing and reciting this declaration from the Torah: ‘Sh’ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad. Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one!’ This proclamation, called the Shema, is what set Israel apart from all the other nations from the beginning. Found in Deuteronomy 6:4, this pronouncement is the very cornerstone of Jewish belief. Unlike their neighbors, who worshipped many rivaling deities, the people of Israel worshipped only one God. In Judaism, every time we recite the Shema, we re-emphasize this distinction — that there is only one God.

“The claim, then, that God has a Son seems scandalous to the Jewish mind because it can be interpreted as suggesting there are multiple gods. Using language that refers to God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit sounds to the conventional Jew like polytheism and raises some questions: Which One? Are you worshipping three gods? Is God divided? This has been a massive source of theological tension between the traditional Jewish community and the Christian community. When someone has been brought up in a traditional Jewish community that emphasizes the oneness of God, the Christian teaching on the Trinity — God as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit — seems to conflict with what they have been taught about God their whole lives.”

Rabbi Schneider continued, “Yet as we have seen with so many of the revelations of Yeshua in the Hebrew Scriptures, the truth of God’s multidimensional nature was embedded there from the start. We cannot conceive the fullness of God’s nature and how He has always existed by relying on logic alone. We cannot even come close to grasping by intellectual capacity alone the wonderful, supernatural reality of a loving God who simply is — who didn’t come from anywhere or anything but has just always existed.

“Our finite, human minds cannot apprehend the realm of a self-existent God who came from nowhere but has always been. We should not insist on being able to logically understand that God is one and yet within Himself exist a multiplicity of personalities He can display. When we say God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we are not saying there are three gods. Rather, we are saying God is multidimensional. There is one God, one essence, and He exists in three persons. He reveals and has manifested Himself as Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.”

 ‘Rather than simply looking at how Yeshua fulfilled certain predictive Messianic prophecies, I want you to see that Jesus filled the entire Old Testament up with meaning’

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Analyzing Scripture can seem straightforward, but the Bible often is more multidimensional than casual readers comprehend. A passage might seem to point to one answer in one instance, but then direct readers to an entirely different perspective upon further review.

Acclaimed author Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider has long been deciphering biblical text and identifying the Messianic prophecies found throughout Scripture. His latest book, “Messianic Prophecy Revealed,” takes readers through the Word of God, showing them how the New Testament writers took passages out of the Old Testament to prove that Jesus is indeed the Messiah.

Understanding the Old Testament from an eastern, Hebraic point of view is key to fully comprehending the true historical Messiah, according to Rabbi Schneider.

Rabbi Schneider commented, “When we read the Hebrew Scriptures through the eyes of the first-century Jewish writers, we see that every story was pregnant with the hope of Messiah. The vivid stories of the patriarchs, the precision of the Levitical priests, the unrelenting passion of the prophets — all would culminate in the full revelation of Yeshua, the Word made flesh. As the writers of the New Testament experienced the transformative power of the ancient words of the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms, they began to realize He was the full embodiment of the Scriptures.

“The Messiah had been there all along, even in the very beginning.”

Rabbi Schneider gives an example of the pattern of prophecy found within the Old Testament stories.

“People broadly know of the famous story of sacrificial love of Abraham and Isaac,” Rabbi Schneider said. “People will often rightly speak of the devotion and piety of Abraham here, of his total obedience and surrender to God. But as we go deeper into the narrative with a prophetic lens, this is a story of much more than Abraham’s devotion to God. Rather, Abraham himself functions as a prophetic type of God the Father. All his hopes and dreams were bound up in this son, whose existence was itself a miracle. Yet out of his unbridled, selfless love and fear of the Lord, Abraham freely offered Isaac up to God.

“When we see paintings of Abraham offering up Isaac as a sacrifice, the art usually tells the same story — we see Isaac as a young boy, perhaps eleven years old or less. But according to Rabbinic Judaism, when Abraham offered up his son as a burned offering, Isaac was thirty-seven years old! When you consider that he was a grown man, he too is a hero of the story. When we look at Isaac’s own willingness to yield his life freely to his father in complete trust, we see an image of Messiah Jesus Himself foreshadowed. Like Isaac, an adult who willingly offered up his life in obedience to his father Abraham, so too does Yeshua willingly offer up His own life in obedience to Father God.”

In the book, Rabbi Schneider identifies various aspects of Christ and reveals how they fulfill the many Old Testament prophecies, identifying Him as the long-awaited Messiah.

Rabbi Schneider said, “Rather than simply looking at how Yeshua fulfilled certain predictive Messianic prophecies, I want you to see that Jesus filled the entire Old Testament up with meaning. He carried the meaning of the Hebrew Scriptures to their fullest expression. This is why Messiah Jesus said, ‘Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.’”

 ‘To understand how Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament, we must open our minds to a Hebraic, Eastern way of thinking that is sometimes foreign to our Westernized mindset’

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Acclaimed author Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider’s latest book, “Messianic Prophecy Revealed,” gives an in-depth analysis of Messianic prophecy and gives readers the tools needed to understand the Old Testament. Rabbi Schneider has long been deciphering biblical text and identifying the Messianic prophecies found throughout Scripture. His latest book takes readers on a journey through the Word of God, showing them how the New Testament writers took passages out of the Old Testament to prove that Jesus truly is the Messiah.

There are hundreds of Old Testament prophecies that all point to and were fulfilled by Jesus Christ. However, it can be difficult to understand — or even identify — these prophecies without proper guidance. When the Gospel writers quote Old Testament scriptures and tell how Jesus fulfilled them, some of the scriptures quoted don’t appear to be prophecies at all. This is because understanding Messianic prophecy is often more of an art than a science.

“Messianic prophecy is not simply the measurement of specific prophecies about the future that Yeshua fulfilled,” Rabbi Schneider stated. “This flat, one-dimensional way of thinking about Scripture in general and Messianic prophecy in particular is foreign to the rabbinic way and the approach to Scripture that Messiah Jesus knew and practiced Himself. In fact, understanding Messianic prophecy involves both art and science, both poetry and math.

“To understand how Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament, we must open our minds to a Hebraic, Eastern way of thinking that is sometimes foreign to our Westernized mindset.”

In the book, Rabbi Schneider identifies various aspects of Christ and reveals how they fulfill the many Old Testament prophecies, identifying Him as the long-awaited Messiah.

Rabbi Schneider said, “Rather than simply looking at how Yeshua fulfilled certain predictive Messianic prophecies, I want you to see that Jesus filled the entire Old Testament up with meaning. He carried the meaning of the Hebrew Scriptures to their fullest expression. This is why Messiah Jesus said, ‘Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.’

“After reading this book, you will have no doubts that Jesus is the Messiah, and you will be able to read the Old Testament with the newfound revelation that God has been pointing to His Son as the Savior of the world for thousands of years.”

‘After reading this book, you will be able to read the Old Testament with the newfound revelation that God has been pointing to His Son as the Savior of the world for thousands of years,’ says acclaimed rabbi

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Many times when inquisitive readers look to see how the New Testament authors applied the Old Testament to reveal that Jesus is the Messiah, they become confused. When the Gospel writers quote Old Testament scriptures and tell how Jesus fulfilled them, some of the scriptures quoted don’t appear to be prophecies at all. This is because understanding Messianic prophecy is often more of an art than a science.

Acclaimed author Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider is the host of the radio and television program Discovering The Jewish Jesus, which is available in more than one hundred million homes in the United States and nearly two hundred nations worldwide. Rabbi Schneider has long been deciphering biblical text and identifying the Messianic prophecies found throughout Scripture. His latest book, “Messianic Prophecy Revealed,” takes readers through the Word of God, showing them how the New Testament writers took passages out of the Old Testament to prove that Jesus is indeed the Messiah.

“Messianic prophecy is not simply the measurement of specific prophecies about the future that Jesus fulfilled,” Rabbi Schneider explained. “In the Hebrew tradition, prophecy is not one-dimensional; it is not simply foretelling the future. In reality, the whole of Scripture is prophetic, pointing us to Christ. It’s a subject that sounds simple but is, in fact, more complex than many realize.

“This book will show followers of Jesus why they can have absolute confidence that Jesus is who He claimed to be — the Messiah. The Old Testament isn’t just a collection of traditions from one group of people — it’s about Jesus as the key to salvation.

“After reading this book, you will have no doubts that Jesus is the Messiah, and you will be able to read the Old Testament with the newfound revelation that God has been pointing to His Son as the Savior of the world for thousands of years.”
