About this ebook

Over a thousand million Christians today blindly accept that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ. They produce "a thousand and one" prophecies from the Jewish Bible (the Old Testament) to prove their claim that Jesus was the Messiah promised to the Jews. Let us hold the thousand" prophecies in abeyance for a moment and examine the only unequivocal claim made by Jesus in the Gospels and examine whether he fulfilled his promise to the Jews. We must admit that the word CHRIST is not a name. It is a title. It is a translation of the Hebrew word Messiah, meaning "anointed." The Greek word for "anointed" is Christos from which we get the word Christ. Priests and kings were "anointed" when being consecrated to their office. The Holy Bible confers this title even on a heathen king CYRUS (Isaiah 45:1).

Ratings and reviews

Night of Last Supper can be counted as first night. Reason why is, that is when Jesus said HIS HOUR HAS COME. He freely gave himself over to those who wanted to KILL Him. Friday then becomes 1 day & 1 night. Saturday is 1 day & 1 night. Sunday early morning is 1 day. TOTAL = 3 DAYS & 3 NIGHTS or 3 NIGHTS & 3 DAYS. No matter if night came first, THE MATH IS CORRECT. I discovered this from a messianic-rabbi...

Apparently, this Muslim is unaware of the extremely simple answer to this question, which is that 2 watches of the night could count as two nights. This is not the only answer possible to his argument, but it seems to be the most logical one of the answers I've heard.

Really a convincing​ book, the author has presented it so well that there are no unanswered questions fluttering in our minds. Took less than 6 mins to read this whole book. Really it is a massive book that every Christian and Muslim should be aware of.
