Jesus Before the New Testament

The book of Matthew begins with Jesus’ genealogy, but is this the first place in the Bible where we find Jesus? Are biblical prophecies the only place we see Him in the Old Testament? Jonathan and Ezra continue their conversation with Rabbi Troy Wallace, discussing some of the more than 50 appearances of Yeshua before He makes His historic entrance into humanity as a baby in a manger. You’ll see that the Old and New Testaments are one continuous story of God’s interaction with humankind and gain insight into why the Jewish leaders of Jesus’ day were so opposed to Jesus. Rabbi Troy Wallace is Vice President of Congregation Leadership and Development at Jewish Voice Ministries International.
