INTRODUCTION

THIS book constitutes the third of a series. The first is entitled, "The God of Israel";  the second, "The Messiah: His Nature and Person" and the fourth shall be "The Messiah: His First Coming Scheduled" This series is designed to present to the Hebrew people, as well to the Gentiles, the answer to the following questions: Is the God revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures an Absolute Unity or a Triune Being?  Is the Messiah of Israel simply a man or is He God incarnate?  What does the Tenach (Old Testament) teach about the earthly career of Messiah? When does the Tenach say Messiah will come the first time? Each volume answers one of these most important questions.

These expositions are written from the standpoint of the Hebrew Scriptures and make ample use of the original text. Each quotation from the Hebrew is translated for the benefit of those not conversant with that language.

At the end of each chapter a translation of the two Psalms expounded is given with interspersed explanatory notes in order to bring into a short compass the exact meaning of these poems.
