    The writings of the ancient rabbis of Judaism say an amazing thing. There is not one Messiah, but two! How did this happen? The rabbis were confused. They read in Zechariah 9:9 that Messiah would come on a donkey riding into Jerusalem, humble and with salvation - Palm Sunday. And yet, Daniel 7 says Messiah will come on the clouds of Heaven in glory. Other prophets said Messiah would die for our sins - and yet reign forever. The rabbis couldn't deal with it so they came up with two Messiahs. The first Messiah, son of Joseph, would come humbly on a donkey and die for our sins. The second Messiah, son of David, would come on the clouds of heaven and reign forever. But the Bible speaks of only one Messiah. The only answer - one Messiah, two comings. The only one in history to fulfill this is Yeshua, Jesus of Nazareth. And if you follow Messiah, you must follow His example - first the donkey, then the clouds. Walk-in humility as God's servant and you will be lifted up in glory - Messiah has two comings - and so will you!
