Publisher's summary

Are you settling for half the story? Highlighting connections that have been hidden from non-Jewish eyes, Rabbi Jason Sobel will connect the dots between the Old and New Testament, helping you see the Bible with clarity as God intended.

Most people - even people of faith - do not understand how the Bible fits together. Too many Christians accept half an inheritance, content to embrace merely the New Testament, while Jewish people may often experience the same by embracing only the Old Testament. But God has an intricate plan and purpose for both the Old and the New.

In Mysteries of the Messiah, Rabbi Jason Sobel reveals the many connections in Scripture hidden in plain sight. Known for his emphatic declaration “but there’s more!” he guides us in seeing the passion and purpose of the Messiah. Mysteries of the Messiah:

• Uncovers connections between the Old and New Testaments
• Connects the dots for readers with details about Jesus, the Torah, and biblical characters
• Written with the unique perspective of a rabbi with an evangelical theological degree

No matter how many times you have read the Bible, Mysteries of the Messiah will bring fresh perspective and insight. God’s word, written by many people over thousands of years, is not a random selection of people and stories. Rabbi Jason Sobel connects the dots and helps us see with clarity what God intended.

The appendix is available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Interesting!

The author shows how the whole Bible is cohesive. The old and new testaments are about Jesus the Messiah.

Incredible

For me, this was perfect to listen to throughout the day. So much Hebrew background knowledge that I would not have known. I didn’t realize how deeply Jesus fulfilled prophecy or that I was this unlearned regarding Hebrew customs.

Deep and Meaningful Understanding of The Messiah

I just finished the audiobook version but realized early on I needed the hard copy for reference, which I purchased to read along with the audible. Not that it cannot be absorbed audibly but really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Rabbi Sobel provides a rich and thoughtful understanding from the Jewish perspective especially for those of us who were not schooled in Jewish traditions. This is well worth reading for those who want to peel back the layers of the scripture and discover a deeper and more meaningful experience when reading God’s word.

A Necessity for Bible Study

I've read many books, trying to truly understand my Bible. Learning ancient south-eastern concepts by modern north-western Christians can be grasped superficially at best, unless someone with knowledge and experience leads us to light. Of all of the books I've read, Rabbi Sobel has imparted readers not only a few nuggets of wisdom but more boulders than you can number! Toward the end of the book, you will understand why the ancient characters were written about and their place in the Lord's genealogy... and why that matters. Father God truly is the Supreme Father, and this book illustrates it beautifully. It is not a book that you can read and put on the shelf. It is one to reread and devour, to gain as much wisdom as it holds.

Wonderful!

Amazing understanding of original language by Rabbi Sobel. I greatly enjoyed this book and would recommend for anyone wanting to go deeper into the Word.

Links the Old and New Testament like I have never heard before

Eye opening revelations that excite a passion within to learn and study the link between Old and New Testament.

Good andi interesting but

Very good and interesting.
Didn't like the excessive use of numbers that can become uninteresting and confusing at times.
My overall listening and learning experience was good.

Deep and profound Insights into Scripture!

This book is what everyone says it is. I must admit that you don’t stop here. This book sets you on the path to studying scripture in the Hebrew and Greek languages and to know the mysteries therein in each word, verse, passage. You begin to understand and appreciate the saying: “To him who is wise let him understand”

I left this audio playing overnight and dreamt of Angels teaching me the ways of the Lord. In my dream, as real as it felt, I saw transformation in the lives of all those who listened and walked in these words.

OutStanding and worth reading.

The reader and information about the Bible and explanation were fantastic. It brought the scriptures to life.

Interesting and educational

The chapters were interesting- the narration was WAY too fast and the numbers detracted from the message.
