Listener Email Question:  “Today I opened an email teaching from YATI that shocked me! YATI claims that Yahshua was/is not human. Here’s an exact quote that I cut+pasted from the teaching of Rabbi Moshe Yoseph Koniuchowsky that YATI sent to me; Yahshua is not 100 percent YHWH and 100 percent man as most bible believing religions, or sects teach, but is 1 million percent YHWH and 0 percent man. He was cloaked with the features of humanity, BUT was not human in His flesh, spirit, or blood! I want to know: Does Tsiyon teach this too?”

Tsiyon Answer:  No, Tsiyon does not agree that Yeshua was not really a man, for obvious Biblical reasons. If Yeshua was not a man then He was not “Son of David.” If He was not “Son of David” then He could not be Messiah, since the Scriptures make clear that Messiah would be a Son of David and David, of course, was a man (Isaiah 11:1, Matt 1:1, Luke 1:32). Neither can it be said that Yeshua was merely “Son of David” in some sort of symbolic way, for the Scripture specifically says Yeshua “was born of the seed of David according to the flesh” (Romans 1:4). Actually, Yeshua’s favorite title for Himself was “Son of Man” emphasising His true humanity. This is vital to all of us, because we are saved through the sacrifice of Yeshua as a perfect man. If He did not come as a man then we are all still in our sins. Yeshua on earth was known as Son of David - Son of Man - and Son of God. Tsiyon did a series of programs on Yeshua as each of these titles in the Spring of 2006. Anyone with questions about the topic should listen to all of those programs to better understand the identity of Yeshua in all dimensions. This Passover season we are rebroadcasting one of those programs that is especially appropriate which shows why Yeshua had to be a man to save us. This program is called “Son of Man Our Redeemer.”

Who was Yeshua in the eyes of His contemporaries when He stepped on the public stage in the first century? In the beginning He was not yet known by His people to be the Messiah, much less the Son of God.  Yet, the common people, including the oppressed, the blind, the sick and the lame flocked to Him. From the start people swarmed around Him to hear what He had to say. Yeshua had a special standing in His nation due to being of the royal line of David! This program brings Yeshua’s role as a son of David into sharper focus to give us a clearer picture of how He was perceived in the first century Jewish world. While the people of that day thought they were assessing Him, they were really the ones who were being sifted and even judged on the basis of what they did regarding Him. To this day it continues to be so.

As we go through this process you will find that Yeshua’s Davidic genealogy is established beyond reproach.
