Why Jews Reject Jesus as Messiah — And What the Hebrew Bible Actually Says | Yaffah Batya da Costa

This is one of our most requested episodes — back by popular demand.In this conversation, Laurie Cardoza-Moore and Rabbanit Yaffah Batya da Costa lay out the biblical foundations of the Messiah from a Jewish perspective and expose how replacement theology distorted Christian teaching for over two millennia. Drawing directly from the Hebrew Scriptures, Yaffah walks through the prophetic requirements — Davidic lineage, the regathering of Israel, the rebuilding of the Temple, worldwide peace, and universal recognition of the one God of the Hebrew Bible — and explains why the fourth-century Council of Nicaea introduced a contradiction, not a continuation, of what Scripture already established.Laurie confronts the rise of Christian antisemitism in America and calls believers back to a Hebraic, Scripture-anchored understanding of God's eternal covenant with Israel. This is essential listening for anyone seeking clarity on why this matters right now.Follow, share, and stand with us at pjtn.org.00:00 — Why Christian Antisemitism Is Surging00:48 — PJTN's Mission: Defend Biblical Truth01:22 — Replacement Theology: The Hidden Root of Jew-Hatred03:11 — Jewish Messiah 101: What Jesus Didn't Fulfill08:48 — Torah vs. Trinity: What Judaism Actually Teaches12:56 — "Can We Not Wait Together?" — A Call for Understanding22:51 — The Real Messianic Checklist (Judah, David, Anointing)30:25 — No Peace Yet: Why We're Not in the Messianic Age38:01 — Jeremiah 31: The Renewed Covenant Explained43:45 — God Is NOT Done with Israel — Christians Must Know ThisDon’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share to help us equip more Christians to stand with Israel and fight antisemitism.✨ Stay connected with PJTN! ✨🌐 Website: www.pjtn.org📺 YouTube: YouTube.com/PJTNTV🎙️ Subscribe to the Proclaiming Justice Podcast on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeSalem's One PlaceOr wherever you get your podcasts.
