Re: Jews are not looking
by mrachmuth

Complete fabrication and conflation of God and Messiah.

Esther's story of redemption is one of her, not a "messiah" redeeming her people. Sorry, but Esther is not the Messiah, nor is she a stand in for the Messiah or for Jesus Christ.

David never mentions the Messiah in any of his Psalms. He is talking of God, and the Jews did not conflate God with the Messiah.

Song of Solomon has nothing to do with Messiah.

Ruth's "redeemer" is not the Messiah. Boaz is of the tribe of Judah, as would David be of the tribe of Judah. Ruth is inegrated into the House of Judah by her marriage both to Naomi's son, and then to Boaz; but she is redeemed by her acts, not by her marriage; and there is no implication or reference to Messiah.

Moses is not the Messiah, nor is he a stand in for the Messiah.

Sorry, predicto, but your arguments are backward looking; forced attempts to make the Tanach conform to the Jesus story, but ultimately failing to do so.
