Video Description:
Did the Jewish Talmud unintentionally confirm the death and Messiahship of Jesus Christ?
According to Yoma 39b, several signs associated with the Day of Atonement suddenly stopped occurring approximately forty years before the destruction of the Second Temple in A.D. 70. The lot for the Lord no longer came up in the high priest’s right hand, the crimson thread stopped turning white, and the western lamp stopped burning continually.
Why did these signs stop around the time Jesus Christ was crucified?
The Talmud also states that the Second Temple was destroyed because of baseless hatred. Jesus Himself declared that His enemies hated Him without cause and warned that Jerusalem and its Temple would be destroyed because they rejected Him.
Watch as we examine these remarkable statements from Jewish sources alongside the words of Jesus Christ in the Gospels.
