Resurrection), and the Feast of Weeks (which was Pentecost).In His Second Coming, Jesus will fulfill the last three (Autumn)holidays: the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and finallyand ultimately, the Feast of Tabernacles.Fulfilling all the propheciesThe Jews of His day did not want to know about a Suffering ServantMessiah, who was going to come as the Passover Lamb to be slain.They wanted a conquering King, who was going to set up theMillennium.The suffering servant Messiah is called "the Son of Joseph,"HaMashiach Ben Yosef. The conquering king Messiah is called "theSon of David," HaMashiach Ben David.For Jesus of Nazareth to be the Messiah, He has to fulfill ALL theprophecies.But Jesus has plainly and clearly not fulfilled all the prophecies. Hehas only fulfilled the Suffering Servant ones, the Son of Joseph ones.In other words, it is one Messiah, two comings. In His first comingJesus came as the Son of Joseph, the suffering servant. In HisSecond Coming He will return as the Son of David, the conqueringKing who will set up His Kingdom.False doctrine: Amillennialism and PostmillennialismThe doctrines of Amillennialism and Postmillennialism were theinvention of the Roman Catholic Church, following the errors ofConstantine and Augustine, at the time when Christendom was madethe religion of the state. Amillennialism and Post Millennialism aretotally unbiblical.From the original Jewish perspective of the New Testament, only aPremillennial position is tenable.If there is no Millennium, Jesus is not the Messiah. And, if He is not

the Messiah for the Jews, neither is He the Christ for the church. Hemust fulfill all the Old Testament prophecies and, so far, He has onlyfulfilled the Son of Joseph prophecies.Restoring the kingdomWhat the apostles were really asking with the question, "Lord, is it atthis time you are restoring the Kingdom?" was: "We know that youare the son of Joseph, but when are you going to be the son ofDavid? When are you going to restore the kingdom the way Daviddid?"Even John the Baptist could not understand this.And summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord,saying, "Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someoneelse?" (Luke 7:19).Even the apostles, after the resurrection, on the Mount of Olives atthe Ascension, were unable to understand that it is one Messiah, buttwo comings.In His first coming, the Lord Jesus was the Messiah, the Son ofJoseph. In His second coming, He will be the Messiah, the Son ofDavid, the conquering king who will fully establish the kingdom.Let us look at Jesus, the son of Joseph.Beloved of his fatherNow Israel loved Joseph more than all of his sons (Genesis 37:3).Joseph was the beloved son of his father.And behold, a voice out of the heavens, saying, "This is My belovedSon, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17).The Messiah, the son of Joseph, was the beloved son of His Father.
