Teaching Tool of Signs of Messiah

The Teaching Tools of Scripture

God has placed signs, markers, identifying guideposts in His Word to help us recognize when a person or passage is prophetic of Messiah. Yeshua introduced this Teaching Tool Himself when He said to the Pharisees,

Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, “Master, we would see a sign from You.” But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall be no sign given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah; for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Mat 12:38-40

The number three, after the sign of Jonah, is the first Sign of Messiah found in Scripture. Threes appear with overwhelming frequency in passages which prophesy of Messiah in some way, shape, or form. Another very common sign is Resurrection Life: someone’s death seems certain or is certain, but miraculously, they escape death or are restored to life. Another is Self-Sacrifice to save others.
