Welcome. Parashat Vezot Haberakhah 5785 (2025): Proof Yeshua Is Mashiach” shows prophetic proofs that Yeshua is Mashiach. It covers the prophesied destruction of the second temple post Mashiach (Daniel 9:25-26), the prophecy of the portion of the lawgiver hidden in Gad (Genesis 49:10, Deuteronomy 33:20-21), how Yeshua came specifically for the lost tribes of Israel, and end-time events concerning both houses of Judah and Joseph.
We also see further examples of how the Talmud contradicts the written Torah of Moshe, and prophecies about Judah’s purification back to the written Torah.

4 “Moshe commanded a Torah for us, A heritage of the congregation of Jacob.Sefaria: Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin 59a
And Rabbi Yoḥanan says: A gentile who engages in Torah study is liable to receive the death penalty; as it is stated: “Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance of the congregation of Jacob” (Deuteronomy 33:4), indicating that it is an inheritance for us, and not for them.Sefaria: Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin 59a

25 “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Mashiach Nagid, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times.”Daniel 9:25
7 weeks = 7 x 7 years = 49 years.
+62 weeks = 62 x 7 years = 434 years.
= 49 years + 434 years = 483 years.[Mashiach Nagid would come 483 years after the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was given.]
Daniel 9:25: Three different commands:
A. Edict of Cyrus given @ 3221 (@ 539 BCE). Adding +483 years brings us to about 3704 (56 BCE).
B. King Darius’ decree was about @3240-3245 (520-515 BCE). +483 years comes to about 3723-3728 (37-32 BCE)
C. King Artashasta’s decree was about 3303 (457 BCE). +483 years later corresponds to an arrival date of 3786 (26 CE).Daniel 9:26
26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Mashiach shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined.”[Sanctuary destroyed 3830 (70 CE).]
