Two Messianic ages question?

Christians counter that Jesus will fulfill these in the Second Coming, but Jewish sources show that the Messiah will fulfill the prophecies outright; in the Bible no concept of a second coming exists.

The world is in desperate need of Messianic redemption. And to the extent we are aware of the problems of society, is the extent we will yearn for redemption. As the Talmud says, one of the first questions asked of a Jew on Judgment Day is: "Did you yearn for the arrival of the Messiah?"

How can we hasten the coming of the Messiah? The best way is to love all humanity generously, to keep the mitzvot of the Torah (as best we can), and to encourage others to do so as well.

Despite the gloom, the world does seem headed toward redemption. One apparent sign is that the Jewish people have returned to the Land of Israel and made it bloom again. Additionally, a major movement is afoot of young Jews returning to Torah tradition.

The Messiah can come any day, and it all depends on our actions. God is ready when we are. For as King David says: "Redemption will come today -- if you hearken to His voice."

There aren't any I am aware of that speak of two Messianic ages....let the TD's roll

They're in the Old Testament of course. You want me to look em up for you?

There's probably thousands of verses that refer to the ultimate establishment of Messianic authority on earth. "They shall beat their swords into plowshares..." and those kinds of scriptures. A good one is--"The lion (second coming) shall lie down with the lamb (first coming)" (Isaiah 11:6) Maybe a bit of an interpretational stretch, but you get the idea.

The OT is a Church-created, mistranslation, reorganisation OF the Jewish Tanakh.

There is nothing in the Tanakh about any 'second coming' - it's a purely Christian notion.

i have never seen a prophecy about a second coming

Fireball, there is NOTHING in Isaiah 43 that says anything about a second coming

nothing in Isaiah 11 either, Stone

none.

that is a christian invention.

there is only one coming in the Tanach.(the original of what christians call the OT)

Isaiah 11 is one, there are many others. They pointed toward men not god(s) that would lead the Jews to a military power not unlike that under David.

try isa 43..
