CHAPTER 1
WHO IS THE END?
Messianic Prophecies
ost end time prophecy is still future. The greatest
prophecy, and the key to end time prophecy, concerns
the Jewish Messiah. The Messiah is to be a human being, and
at the same time equal (a fellow, or equal; see Zech. 13:7, KJV)
to God. His divine nature is attested to by His being from ever-
lasting (see Micah 5:2; Psalm 93:2, KJV). A single Old Testa-
ment passage speaks of His human nature (a child), His divine
nature (a son), and addresses Him as Mighty God:
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the gov-
ernment will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Won-
derful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of
Peace”
(Isa 9:6).
He is to reconcile man to God, necessary because of man’s
fall in the Garden of Eden at the beginning. As we shall see, a
“who” can be “an end.” The question of who is the Messiah,
gives us the clue in answering our question of, “Who Is The
End?”
