The Two Messiahs - Jesus Fulfilled Them Both

[EclipseEventSigns]

It's very common knowledge that Mary was of the line of David - King of Israel. David was of the the tribe of Judah. Multiple times the Messiah is equated to the son of David. This expectation of a coming messiah who would save them from oppression was very well known - even by those outside of Judea (see Suetonius).

But there was another common belief at that time - of another messiah - who would be from the tribe of Levi. A priest. Of the lineage of Aaron.

What very few realize or have even researched is that Mary also fulfills this expectation. Luke gives the specific details that Zechariah AND his wife Elizabeth were Levites and from the lineage of Aaron. Elizabeth was Mary's relative. Therefore, this must have been on her mother's side since her father would be the one who is from the tribe of Judah. Mary was also from the lineage of Aaron on her mother's side. So Mary being from both Judah and Levi would make Jesus descended from both King AND Priest. He is the fulfillment of both expected messiahs.

GINOLJC, to all,
Not two messiahs, but two witness. the confusion may have come in at by the Names both Zechariah & his wife Elizabeth held. and the prophecy of the two prophets. Malachi 3:1 "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts." the messenger of the NEW Covenant, (per Jer. 31), that replace the OLD Covenant, (of Moses), the Lord Jesus, God almighty in human flesh.

now this messenger who comes first to prepare the way. Isaiah 40:3 "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God." this is the Elijah to come, (John the Baptist).

These are the two to come. John the Baptist, (in the spirit of Elijah), and the Lord Jesus the Christ, who establish the New Covenant from (Moses and the OLD Covenant).

Now, what do all this have to do with Zechariah & his wife Elizabeth, who by the way is of the tribe of Levi. ANSWER, up until then, there was no word from God for approx. 400 years. but now the angel Gabriel shows up and meets Zechariah and tell him things concerning his wife and himself. which was having a son. but why Zechariah & his wife Elizabeth. ANSWER, the Name Zechariah means "God Remember", and the Name Elizabeth means "Covenant". putting both together, God remembers his Covenant. remember God was not hear from for about 400 years, but God did not forget what he had promised. so with the Name of Zechariah & his wife Elizabeth, now we hear from God, he Remembers his Covenant. Jeremiah 31:31 "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:" Jeremiah 31:32 "Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:" Jeremiah 31:33 "But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people."

now this might answer you topic, because even today some Jews ... not all are still looking for Elijah to come, as well as the coming Messiah. well they have already come. John the Baptist, and the Lord Jesus

what did Malachi say? 3:1 "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts."

so Zechariah & his wife Elizabeth their name tells us a lot. God remembers his Covenant ....... between his people who is a HOUSE and no longer a tribe.

hope this helps

one of my favorite words I use to use all of the time on another forum- gobblygook

The term gobbledygook was coined by Maury Maverick, a former congressman from Texas and former mayor of San Antonio. When Maverick was chairman of the Smaller War Plants Corporation during World War II, he sent a memorandum that said: "Be short and use plain English. ... Stay off gobbledygook language."

That's right. I just could not follow the spaghetti thoughts that were in that post.

so we can take it as you cannot follow truth? 101G posted scripture, so you declared IGNORANCE of the scriptures. .... thought so. but what your response revealed is your agenda to a false belief, a false Messiah. you had no clue the common belief at that time of another messiah who would be from the tribe of Levi. which was INCORRECT, because they asked John was he that Messiah/Prophet. Luke 3:15 "And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;"

and they asked, John 1:19 "And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?" John 1:20 "And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ." John 1:21 "And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No." John 1:22 "Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?" John 1:23 "He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias." John 1:24 "And they which were sent were of the Pharisees." John 1:25 "And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?" John 1:26 "John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;" John 1:27 "He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose."

Except that the Jewish "religious experts" had already decided theologically what MESSIAH would do when he came to them, but then Jesus showed up, and violated their "Eschatology". So they murdered Him.
