Jewish prophets and Messiah

Jewish Talmud, 200 to 500 AD, being discussions and commentary on Jewish history, law, customs, and culture, said, “All the prophets prophesied only for the days of the Messiah.  The world was not created but only for the Messiah.”

Matthew 21:42 (NKJV)

 Jesus said to them, 

"Have you never read in the Scriptures:

`The stone which the builders rejected

Has become the chief cornerstone.

This was the Lord's doing,

And it is marvelous in our eyes'?

Psalm 118:21 - 22  "The  stone  [which] the builders  rejected   Has become the chief cornerstone.  23  This was the Lord's doing;  It [is] marvelous in our eyes."

Medieval French Jewish scholar Rashi, 11^th century, said, “there is no doubt this speaks of Messiah, the Son of David.”

Mica 5:2  "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,  [Though] you are little among the thousands of Judah,  [Yet] out of you shall come forth to Me  The One to be Ruler in Israel,  Whose goings forth [are] from of old,  From everlasting."

Rashi, says that Micah 5:2, “talking about the Messiah who will be the ruler of Israel and must be born in Bethlehem.”

Medieval Rabbi Abraham Ben Ezra, was fascinated with NT book of Revelation, because he saw so many Messianic quotes in it, said “the book of Revelation was written by a Jewish man under the power of the Holy Spirit and is acceptable for all Jews to read.”
