How will we be able to recognize the Messiah?
Christians claim that Jesus is the Messiah, but how can we know if that is true? Jesus revealed the truth about himself through passages in the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings—which together comprise the Tanakh (the Old Testament).
In Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus?, Messianic Jewish author David Brickner likewise guides us through twelve prophecies from all three sections of the Tanakh to show:
You'll also find stories of contemporary Jewish people who discovered compelling connections to Jesus in their own Bibles.
Whether you're curious, skeptical, or a committed believer—if you are in search of truth, this book is for you. Come and see how God's timeless plan to redeem and renew the world still shines as a beacon of hope today.
David received his theological training at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and earned a BA in Judaica from Northeastern Illinois University. He went on to earn his MA in missiology with an emphasis on Jewish studies from the Fuller School of Intercultural Studies.
He is the author of several books, including Christ in the Feast of Tabernacles, Future Hope—A Jewish Christian Look at the End of the World and Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus? David has been interviewed on secular and Christian national radio and television shows, including Larry King Live and In the Market with Janet Parshall.
David is married to Sabra Brickner and is the proud father of Isaac, Ilana, and Sivan. He is also the proud grandfather of Norah, Levy, and Itai.
"Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus? Here is a book that takes you through some key Jewish Bible texts and offers what many may find a surprising conclusion. Written in a clear style, this book will reveal the clues God has left in His Word for what He is doing in the midst of our needy world."
—Darrell L. Bock, Executive Director for Cultural Engagement Hendricks Center, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies
"If you love the Jewish people and God's plan for them, as well as His plan for all people, then you will be thrilled to read this marvelous book by David Brickner. He does a brilliant job of taking twelve key prophecies in Hebrew Scripture (the Old Testament) and demonstrating how they have been fulfilled in the life of Yeshua. Though these twelve prophecies might be considered by some people to be complex or complicated, David Brickner does a superb job of explaining them with easy-to-understand clarity. I can't say enough about the value of this work. It is a treasure to read and a treasure to be shared!"
—Bryan Hughes, Senior Pastor of Grace Bible Church in Bozeman, MT, and author of Romans 8:28 and Jesus's Teaching on the Last Days
"David Brickner has written such an engaging book! It's like walking through space and time, encountering Moses and the prophets of old as they charted the path of the coming Messiah long before his appearance. Into his study of the Tanakh, Brickner artfully weaves the stories of many contemporary Jews who encountered a living hope in its pages: the hope of Israel."
—Florent Varak, Chairman of the European Board of Jews for Jesus and senior director at Encompass World Partners
"I am thrilled to recommend David Brickner's newest title, Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus? For anyone serious about reaching Jewish people with the message of Messiah, and for anyone seeking the truth of God's promised Deliverer, Yeshua, this book is a must-read."
—Mark M. Yarbrough, President and Professor of Bible Exposition, Dallas Theological Seminary; author of How to Read the Bible Like a Seminary Professor
"From the Law of Moses to the Prophets, and the Psalms, Jesus is there. David brilliantly takes twelve prophecies from these three groupings of Scripture to illustrate how the Old Testament cannot be 'disconnected' from the New Testament. This book will remind you that Jesus came and is coming again, so 'that the Scripture might be fulfilled.' May your heart be filled with encouragement and joyous anticipation as you discover how the Bible points to Jesus, right from the start."
—Janet Parshall, nationally syndicated talk show host
"This book offers an easy-to-read discussion about the Messiah in the Hebrew Bible from a Jewish man who has spent decades thinking about this topic. This book is a great read for a reader who is considering the topic of the Messiah in the Hebrew Bible for the first time, as well as the reader who has been thinking about this for years."
—Seth Postell, Lecturer in Biblical Studies at Israel College of the Bible in Netanya, Israel
"In Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus?, David Brickner opens his Jewish Bible to help us all see Jesus of Nazareth there—in the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings. If you doubt that the Hebrew Scriptures, taken on their own terms, really point to Jesus, this book can satisfy your reservations."
—Ray Ortlund, Renewal Ministries, Nashville, TN
"At last! David Brickner, the long-time leader of Jews for Jesus, lays out the Messianic claims of Jesus (Yeshua), based on Old Testament prophecy in a way that every reader can grasp. This helpful book is as edifying as it is practical. Read if you love the Jewish Messiah and the Jewish people."
—Michael L. Brown, host of the Line of Fire radio broadcast; author of the five-volume series Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus; and the Director of Spiritual Renewal and Apologetics at the Jerusalem Bible Institute
