Jesus from Rabbinic Sources – Daniel 9

Ancient Jewish Sources admit the prophecy of Daniel 9 would be fulfilled in the days of Jesus:

“In Daniel is delivered to us the end [‘the time of His appearance and death’ – Rabbi Jarchi] of the Messiah.” The Talmud also records that about the time of the Roman general Titus’ destruction of the Temple (70 A. D.), the Messiah was believed to have already come, yet His identity was concealed from the Jews until they were rendered more worthy of His appearance!”{The Messiahship of Christ/The Messianic Prophecies of Christ – Frank Delitzch and Paton Gloag pg 226}

Rabbi Moses Abraham Levi stated: “I have examined the Holy Scriptures, and have not found the time for the coming of the Messiah, clearly fixed, except in the words of Gabriel to the prophet Daniel, which are written in the ninth chapter of the prophecy of Daniel.”

Rabbi Azariah states in the words of Daniel: “To seal the vision and prophecy, and to bring in Messiah our righteousness.”

Rabbi Nachmonides claims: “This Holy of Holies is the Messiah who is sanctified more than the sons of David.”

Finally, in the words of Jonathan ben Uzziel: “That the ‘vision and prophecy’ may be fulfilled even unto Messiah, the Holy of the Holies.”

Jesus is the only one that can fit into Daniel’s prophecy of the Suffering Messiah who was to die before the year 70 AD.

In fact Rabbi Nehumias, who lived 50 years before Christ, is cited as saying that the time given by Daniel for the Messiah’s appearance could not go beyond fifty years! {The Messiahship of Christ/The Messianic Prophecies of Christ – Frank Delitzch and Paton Gloag pg 226}
