Here’s a tighter version that preserves your argument while making the conclusion more forceful:

**Old Testament proof that the Messiah came before the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD:**

**Malachi 4:5:**

> “Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD.”

Both Jews and Christians understand this passage in a Messianic context. Even today, Jewish tradition looks for the coming of Elijah, recognizing that his appearance signals the approach of the Messiah.

Then comes verse 6:

> “He will turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers...”

This speaks of the repentance and restoration Elijah would bring.

But the final phrase is where the argument becomes especially significant:

> “So that I will not come and strike the land with complete destruction.”

**When did this “complete destruction” happen?**

The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple occurred in **70 AD**, followed by further devastation of the land during the failed Jewish revolts against Rome.

Malachi's sequence is therefore striking:

**Elijah comes → repentance is called for → otherwise, the LORD strikes the land with complete destruction.**

If the destruction described by Malachi corresponds to what happened in 70 AD, then Elijah had to appear **before 70 AD**.

And if Elijah's appearance precedes and signals the coming of the Messiah, then the unavoidable implication is this:

**The Messiah had already come before the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD.**

The Old Testament itself gives us the timeline.

Romans 1:28:
God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper.

Paul repeats this warning three times in Romans 1, demonstrating that the more we embrace evil, the more God will hand us over to it. And the more we partake of evil without repentance, the more corrupted our mind becomes.

It's a relentless, slippery slope that leads to death.

Satan cannot be satiated. Wickedness is never satisfied. It continually pushes the boundaries, demands more from us, and pulls us farther and farther away from the truth of God.

That’s why we must stay anchored in God’s Word and firm in our faith.

Revelation 14:12:
Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Yeshua.

True then. True now.

Stand firm!

The Romans had many methods of ex*****on. They could have beheaded Jesus, as they did John the Baptist. They could have killed Him with the sword. Or thrown Him to the lions.

But they chose to hang Him on a tree... a cross.

And, amazingly, 1,500 years before it happened, the Torah had already declared:

“For anyone hanged on a tree is a curse of God.” (Deuteronomy 21:23)

The prophetic precision of God's Word is absolutely incredible!

In Deuteronomy 27, God commanded the blessings of Torah to be recited on Mount Gerizim, and the curses of Torah recited on Mount Ebal.

God, in His sovereignty, commanded an altar of sacrifice to be built on Ebal, the mountain associated with the curse.

What a beautiful picture of God's mercy.

In the place where the punishments were proclaimed, God provided atonement.

The sacrificial altar on Ebal points us to something greater: The cross of Messiah.

We deserved the curse because of our disobedience, but God provided the sacrifice.

And Yeshua took the curse upon Himself.

“Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us.” - Galatians 3:13

The Gospel according to Torah. ❤️

In the Book of Ruth, Naomi is a symbol of the Jewish people, while Ruth and Orpah represent two types of Gentiles.

Orpah turned her back on Naomi.

But Ruth clung to her:

“Where you go, I will go. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.” - Ruth 1:16

In this hour, God is looking for Ruths, not Orpahs, in the Church.

Not those who abandon the Jewish people, but those who say, “Where you go, I go. Your people are my people.”

Will you be a Ruth?

I know a lot of you don't like the Talmud. But here's something I think is pretty awesome.

The Talmud records Jewish traditions associated with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, during the time the Second Temple was standing.

According to Talmudic tradition, a scarlet thread was tied to the scapegoat on Yom Kippur. After the service was completed, the thread would miraculously turn white, as in Isaiah 1:18:

“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”

But then something changed.

The Talmud records that this miracle, and others, stopped occurring 40 years before the destruction of the Temple.

“During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple… the crimson-colored strap did not become white…”
- Babylonian Talmud, Yoma 39b

Do the math.

The Second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD.

Forty years before that was 30 AD.

What happened around that time?

Yeshua was crucified.

This is an amazing piece of Jewish history that beautifully points to what the New Testament declares:

Yom Kippur is fulfilled by the ultimate atonement that was accomplished at the cross by Yeshua.

Sometimes people say that the Bible's Spring Holidays were fulfilled at Yeshua's first coming, and the Autumn Holidays will be fulfilled at Yeshua's second coming.

This is true! But there is an important caveat.

Yom Kippur is an Autumn Holiday. Yet it was clearly fulfilled at the cross.

Hebrews 9:12:
He entered the holy place once for all time, having obtained eternal redemption.

So how can Yom Kippur both be fulfilled at the cross yet still have a future fulfillment?

Answer:

Yom Kippur is Israel's national day of atonement. And Israel, nationally, has yet to accept Him.

When Yeshua returns, Israel will be look upon Him, accept His atonement, and be saved, nationally.

This will be the future fulfillment of Yom Kippur, Israel's Day of Atonement. It will occur when Israel accepts Him, at His coming.

In Jewish expectation, the Messiah is understood to bring the knowledge of the one true God to the nations.

That has already happened on an extraordinary scale through Yeshua.

Across the centuries, billions of Gentiles throughout the world have come to worship the God of Israel. They have embraced the Hebrew Scriptures as part of their Bibles and carried the message of Israel’s God into virtually every corner of the earth.

This cannot be overstated. No future Jewish Messianic candidate will do this better than Yeshua already did.

Incredible proof of the Messiahship of Jesus! ✡️🙏❤️
