Prophecies of Yeshua
“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”

The Israelites of the first century were expecting a Messiah. But it was not a suffering servant as Isaiah had prophesized. But it was the kingly Messiah who would free them from the clutches of the Romans. The writings of the time surely had an influence on them. The New Testament writings have also taken up various elements from these writings to address the issue of Yeshua being presented as the Messianic figure prophesied to come. The effect of these writings are therefore clear when Yeshua is proclaimed as the Son of Man, Son of God, the Anointed, the suffering servant, the shoot of Jesse, the King of Israel, the Redeemer, the Good Shepherd, etc. Scripture is validated through prophecy, with well over 350 prophecies of this Messianic figure in the Old Testament manuscripts all being fulfilled to a T throughout the New Testament and other historical writings which gives us no doubt, Yeshua came to fulfill these prophecies…
He is the Son of God

In the Beginning…
Let there be LIGHT…
Genesis 1:3
“And God said, Let there be LIGHT: and there was LIGHT. And God saw the LIGHT, that it was good”
What was the light made on day one if the sun and moon weren’t created until day 4?
Day 4
Genesis 1:16
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
John 8:58
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Am in strongs means “I exist”
He existed before all things, the light that was created in the beginning.
“Let there be light” is an English translation of the Hebrew יְהִיאוֹר (yehi ‘or) found in Genesis 1:3.
The phrase יְהִיאוֹר (yəhî ’ôr) is made of two words. יְהִי (yəhî) is the third-person masculine singular form of “to exist, to be, become, come to pass, exist, happen” and אוֹר (’ôr) means “light“
The word “begotten” is yalad and the meaning is “to Bear, Beget, or Bring Forth.”
Matthew 1:2
“Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;”
Then it goes through the whole lineage from Abraham to Yeshua.
Matthew 1:16
“and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was BORN Jesus, who is called Christ.”
Note: Notice it doesn’t say Joseph begat Yeshua. Begat means came from the seed or substance of the father.
Psalm 2:6–12
“Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my SON; this day have I BEGOTTEN THEE. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;”
Fulfillment
Hebrews 1:2–5
“hath in these LAST DAYS spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I BEGOTTEN THEE? And again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son?”
In the Greek Septuigint the phrase is translated “kaì egéneto phôs. Γενηθήτω -“to come into being.”
The original Latinization of the Greek translation used in the Vetus Latina was lux sit (“light – let it exist” or “let light exist“)
In the Latin Vulgate, the Hebrew phrase יְהִיאוֹר is translated in Latin as fiat lux. In context, the translation is (“And said God let there be light, and there was light“). Literally, fiat lux would be translated as “let light be made” ( fiat is the third person singular present passive subjunctive form of the verb facio, meaning “to do” or “to make“). The Douay Rheims Bible translates the phrase, from the Vulgate, as “Be light made. And light was made“
John 1:1–14, 16–17
“In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was WITH GOD, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the LIGHT of men. And the LIGHT shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the LIGHT, that all men through him might believe. He was not that LIGHT, but was sent to bear witness of that LIGHT. That was the TRUE LIGHT, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his NAME: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the WORD was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”
John 4:23–24
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in SPIRIT and in TRUTH: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH.”
2 Corinthians 4:3–6
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath BLINDED the minds of them which believe not, lest the LIGHT of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the ✨IMAGE of God, should SHINE unto them✨.
“For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.”
For God, who ✨COMMANDED the LIGHT to shine out of DARKNESS✨, hath shined in our hearts, to give the LIGHT of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
1 John 1:5–7
“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is LIGHT, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the TRUTH: but if we walk in the LIGHT, as he is in the LIGHT, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
John 12:35–36
“Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the LIGHT with you. Walk while ye have the LIGHT, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have LIGHT, believe in the light, that ye may be the CHILDREN of LIGHT.”
John 8:12–19
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the LIGHT of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in DARKNESS, but shall have the light of life. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.”
John 12:46
“I am come a LIGHT into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in DARKNESS.”
Isaiah 8:20
“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no LIGHT in them.”

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.”

And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.”
1 John3:8–12
“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not RIGHTEOUSNESS is not of God, neither he that LOVETH NOT his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the BEGINNING, that we should LOVE one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.”

The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”

Moses Maimonides
( referred to by the acronym Rambam ) 12th-century rabbi, philosopher, and physician.
Sefer Hamitzvot “Book of Commandments” While there are various other works titled similarly, the title “Sefer Hamitzvot” without a modifier refers to Maimonides’ work. It is a listing of all the commandments of the Torah, with a brief description for each.
Rambam interpreted texts such as Isaiah 9:6, 11:1-4 and Psalm 2:7 as Messianic prophecies. This proves quite significant since it exposes the lies and deceit of Jewish anti-Christian antagonists such as Tovia Singer who deny that verses such as Isaiah 9:6 where the Messiah..
Isaiah 9:6 should read like this with proper translation:
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, [FROM] The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Targums and Septuagint both translate the Hebrew correctly
Targum
The prophet said to the house of David, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and he has taken the law upon himself to keep it. His name is called from before Him who is wonderful in counsel, the mighty God who liveth to eternity — the Messiah whose peace shall be great upon us in his days.
Septuagint
For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.

Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: That the generation to come might know them, Even the children which should be born; Who should arise And declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:”

Messiah’s Parables would fall on DEAF EARS
Prophecy:
Isaiah 6:9–10
“And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.”
Fulfillment:
Matthew 13:10–17
“And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in PARABLES? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest at any time they should see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And should understand with their heart, And should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.”
Dual Prophecy:
Isaiah 28:12
“To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.”
Acts 3:18–21
“But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”

The Messiah would be a Stone that causes people to Stumble
Prophecy:

Romans 9:32–33
“Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; as it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: And whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”

And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices By the space of forty years in the wilderness? Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of your god Remphan, Figures which ye made to worship them: And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.”

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

“Look! The time is coming when the signs appear that I told you about in advance, and the city will appear, appearing as a bride, and the land that is now hidden will be openly displayed. Everyone who is rescued from the evils foretold will see my wonders.
MY SON the ANNOINTED ONE will be REVEALED along with THOSE WHO ARE WITH HIM, and those who remain will rejoice for
FOUR HUNDRED YEARS.
“After these years, MY SON the ANOINTED ONE and all who have HUMAN BREATH will DIE. The world will be turned back to primeval silence for seven days, as in the earliest beginnings so that no one is left alive. After seven days, the world that isn’t yet awake will be roused, and the corrupt world will die. The earth will give back those who sleep, and the dust will give back in silence those who dwell in it, and the resting places will give back the souls that have been entrusted to them. The Most High will be revealed on the THRONE OF JUDGEMENT, and mercy will pass away. Patience will be withdrawn, and only JUDGEMENT will remain.
2nd Esdras 13:32
And the time shall be, when these things shall come to pass, and the signs shall happen which I showed you before, and then shall MY SON be declared, whom you saw as a man ascending.

Wisdom of Solomon 2:12-20
Let us lie in wait for the righteous man,
because he is inconvenient to us and opposes our actions;
he reproaches us for sins against the law,
and accuses us of sins against our training.
He professes to have knowledge of God,
and calls himself a child of the Lord.
He became to us a reproof of our thoughts;
the very sight of him is a burden to us,
because his manner of life is unlike that of others,
and his ways are strange.
We are considered by him as something base,
and he avoids our ways as unclean;
he calls the last end of the righteous happy,
and boasts that God is his father.
Let us see if his words are true,
and let us test what will happen at the end of his life;
for if the righteous man is God’s son, he will help him,
and will deliver him from the hand of his adversaries.
Let us test him with insult and torture,
that we may find out how gentle he is,
and make trial of his forbearance.
Let us condemn him to a shameful death,
for, according to what he says, he will be protected.

Book of 1 Enoch
Chapter 46
1 And there I saw One who had a head of days, And His head was white like wool, And with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of a man, And his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels. 2 And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that 3 Son of Man, who he was, and whence he was, (and) why he went with the Head of Days And he answered and said unto me: This is the son of Man who hath righteousness, With whom dwelleth righteousness, And who revealeth all the treasures of that which is hidden,
Because the Lord of Spirits hath chosen him, And whose lot hath the pre-eminence before the Lord of Spirits in uprightness for ever.
4 And this Son of Man whom thou hast seen Shall raise up the kings and the mighty from their seats, [And the strong from their thrones] And shall loosen the reins of the strong, And break the teeth of the sinners.
5 [And he shall put down the kings from their thrones and kingdoms] Because they do not extol and praise Him, Nor humbly acknowledge whence the kingdom was bestowed upon them. 6 And he shall put down the countenance of the strong, And shall fill them with shame.
And darkness shall be their dwelling, And worms shall be their bed, And they shall have no hope of rising from their beds, Because they do not extol the name of the Lord of Spirits.
7 And these are they who judge the stars of heaven, [And raise their hands against the Most High], And tread upon the earth and dwell upon it. And all their deeds manifest unrighteousness, And their power rests upon their riches, And their faith is in the gods which they have made with their hands, And they deny the name of the Lord of Spirits,
8 And they persecute the houses of His congregations, And the faithful who hang upon the name of the Lord of Spirits.
Jude quotes Enoch
Jude 1:14–15
“And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
1 Enoch 1:91
Behold, he comes with the myriads of his holy ones, to execute judgment on all, and to destroy all the wicked, and to convict all flesh for all the wicked deeds that they have done, and the proud and hard words that wicked sinners spoke against him.

Testament of Joseph 19
Hear ye also, my children, the visions which I saw. There were twelve deer feeding, and the nine were divided and scattered in the land, likewise also the three. And I saw that from Judah was born a virgin wearing a linen garment, and from her went forth a Lamb, without spot, and on His left hand there was as it were a lion; and all the beasts rushed against Him, and the lamb overcame them, and destroyed them, and trod them under foot. And because of Him the angels rejoiced, and men, and all the earth. And these things shall take place in their season, in the last days. Do ye therefore, my children, observe the commandments of the Lord, and honour Judah and Levi; for from them shall arise unto you the Lamb of God, by grace saving all the Gentiles and Israel. For His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, which shall not be shaken; but my kingdom among you shall come to an end as a watcher’s hammock, which after the summer will not appear.

ll Baruch 30
1 And it shall come to pass after these things, when the time of the advent of the Messiah is fulfilled, that He shall return in glory. Then all who have fallen asleep in hope of Him shall rise again. 2 And it shall come to pass at that time that the treasuries will be opened in which is preserved the number of the souls of the righteous, and they shall come forth, and a multitude of souls shall be seen together in one assemblage of one thought, and the first shall rejoice and the last shall not be grieved. 3 For they know that the time has come of which it is said, that it is the consummation of the times.

Proverbs 8:22–36
“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; When there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: When he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: When he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, That the waters should not pass his commandment: When he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: And I was daily his delight, Rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; And my delights were with the sons of men. Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: For blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, And refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, And shall obtain favour of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.”
Proverbs 30:4
“Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his NAME, and what is his SON’s NAME, If thou canst tell?”

In Isaiah 53 which the whole chapter is prophetic of Yeshua. A man named Yacov Rambsel found something interesting in the original Hebrew letters of this very important chapter. Counting backwards in multiples of 20 characters spells out
“Yeshua is my Name”
Isaiah 53:1–12
“Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”
John 5:43
“I am come in my FATHER’s NAME, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his OWN NAME, him YE WILL RECIEVE.”
Acts 4:12
Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is no other NAME under the heavens, given among men, by which we must be SAVED.
Romans 10:13–14
“For whosoever shall call upon the NAME of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
Philippians 2:9–11
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a NAME which is above every name: that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Yeshua is Lord, to the GLORY of God the Father.”

He came in his fathers authority to bring a message, sadly some pervert that message. They pervert the name and character of God to fit their lifestyle.
Hosea 2:16-17
16 “And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi ( Husband ); and shalt call me no more Baali ( Master ).
– – –
17 For I will take away the NAMES of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.”
Baali – H1180 – My Master
Baalim – H1168 – Phoenician deity
Ishi – H376 – Husband
The key is found in the word Ishi, which means husband. The first half of this verse is saying that The Yah has been but a ruling master to us ( a lord ), but is soon to be as a husband. So it is describing the change in relationship between the Lord and his people especially concerning the marriage Covenant.
1 Kings18:18
“And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.”
Belial – Bel
Belial (/ˈbiːli.əl/; which later became personified as the devil in Christian texts of the New Testament.Alternate spellings include Baalial, Balial, Belhor, Beliall, Beliar, Berial, Bylyl and Beliya’al.
Galatians 1:6–9
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the GRACE of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
2 Timothy4:3–4
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
Matthew 7:21–23
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
Matthew 24:4–5
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in MY NAME, saying, I am Christ; and shall DECIEVE many.”
