Footprints of the Messiah
|
Much like the concept of fingerprints today, the early rabbis and sages had an understanding of the "footprints of the Messiah," whereby we could "track" his arrival. Utilizing a number of key predictions about the coming Messiah--and the rabbinic and Second Temple understanding of these critical texts--this seminar will strengthen your own faith in Yeshua's Messiahship and enable you to give a well-reasoned defense of it to others.
