Welcome to hashtag STR ask.

We are actually getting closer to Christmas.

We only have a couple episodes left before then. So we're going to do a couple

episodes on Jesus. How does that sound? All right. Sounds appropriate. Yeah, it does. All right. So this first

question comes from Jesse. How do you justify calling Yeshua Jesus, the Messiah, when he didn't

fulfill the Hebrew prophecies that the Messiah

was required to complete. Please, no vague, he'll do it later, or that's spiritual, not literal

explanations. If a prophecy wasn't fulfilled, doesn't that matter?

Well, it's curious the way the question is put because it asks the question and then it says,

but you can't answer this way.

Okay.

But maybe the way that is being, in a sense, dismissed is an appropriate way to answer.

Okay.

Let's say I'm trying to think of an example where I'm trying to think of an example where something is supposed to be fulfilled, but the nature of the thing is that it takes a period of time for it to

be fulfilled, and we don't find that to be a problem. Okay, so Moses talks to God. God says,

go to Pharaoh. I'll let my people go, blah, blah, blah, that whole deal.

And I can't remember the exact words, but essentially God is communicating to Pharaoh,

I'm sorry, to Moses that he is going to, he is, the people are going to be released.

Okay.

Well, the people being released takes a while.

It's a process.

And there are a lot of things that happen on the way to the release.
