A51572	The Messias of the Christians and the Jewes held forth in a discourse between a Christian, and a Iew obstinately adhering to his strange opinions, & the forced interpretations of scripture, wherein Christ the true savior of the whole world is described from the prophets and likewise that false and counterfeited Messias of the Jewes, who in vaine is expected by that nation to this very day, is discovered / written first in Hebrew, but now rendered into English by Paul Isaiah, a Jew born, but now a converted and baptized Christian.	Münster, Sebastian, 1489-1552.; Eliazar Bar-Isajah.	1655 (1655)	Wing M3039A; ESTC R42183	58,523	257

the living for the transgression of my people was he smitten and he made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death because he had done no violence neither was any deceit in his mouth Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him hee hath put him to griefe when thou shalt make his soule an offering for sin he shall see his seed he shal prolong his daies and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hands He shall see of the travell of his soule and shall be satisfied by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justifie many for he shall bear their iniquities Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great and he shall divide the spoile with the strong because hee hath poured out his soule unto death and hee was numbred with the transgressors and hee bare the sinne of many and made intercession for the transgressors You see here what Isaiah the Prophet hath said concerning the death of the Messias how he should die for our sins that he might save our soules and might lead us into the Kingdome of heaven and that he should see his seed and should prolong his daies and truly the pleasure of the Lord hath had a prosperous successe in his hand Forasmuch as his name hath been magnified in the whole earth and you who slew him are disperst throughout all the nations your house is desolate and you are become of the people of God not the people of God and of Gods peculiar inheritance an abomination in the eies of God and of the sons of God the sons of Belial But on the contrary they who beleeve in God and in his Christ these are the people the possession and the sons of God and they shall never see death because after this world sin shall not bee and by consequent neither death which is the punishment of sin Iew Our Masters speak far otherwise of these things for they say in the time of the Messias the earth shal be filled with the knowledge of the Lord because of the plentifull pouring forth of God whereby he shall then bow himselfe downe to the world neither shall faith be then corrupted neither shall man be changed but to good and to perfection It is also likely that then the dead shall not rise but they who have been just the wicked shall remain in death some few excepted And truly you have now seen that innumerable miracles shall be wrought in the time of the Messias as I have shewed you and because all these are not yet come to passe wee beleeve not in your Christ but doe expect our redeemer neither doe we despaire though many and great tribulations doe meet us in this our moderne captivity Christian You and your Rabbies do err very much for al these wonderfull things concerning which you have spoke to me are fulfilled already some few excepted which shall bee wrought in the second comming of Christ that is in the end of the world when Christ shall come to judge the quick and the dead for our Christ hath raised some dead from a corporall death and some from a spiritual death At this day Idolatry is taken out of the world and the earth is full of the knowledge of the Lord because all people doe at this day confesse one God Now many people doe goe to enter into the house of the God of Iacob which is the Church of beleevers in Christ Now the wolfe dwels with the lambe that is the ungodly man and the destroier with the meeke and hee doth not hurt him Moreover there was peace through the whole world in those daies when our Christ was born for one man namely Octavianus did then reign over the whole world in peace and in the world to come there shall be peace without end Now the gates of Ierusalem are open that is the Church of the faithfull is open and every man of each sex man and woman old man and young man rich and poor Iew and Gentile whosoever will may enter in Also the mountaine of the Lords house is prepared on the top of the mountaines and is lifted above the hils At this day in Ierusalem among beleevers the voice of weeping and mourning is no more heard because they have consolation here and they expect in the world to come joy which shall never bee taken from them There men shall live not only five hundred or a thousand yeares but for ever and ever Iew I understand not your words because you speake figuratively and not according to the letter of the Scripture Christian This is that which the Lord hath said by the Prophet The ox knows his owner and the asse his Masters crib but Israel doth not know my people doth not consider Likewise Moses saith the Lord shall smite thee with madness blindnesse and astonishment of hearth and thou shalt grope at noon day as the blinde man gropeth in darkness and thou shalt not prosper in thy daies Iew This is the punishment wherewith God doth chastise us for our sin but he will not throw off his people for ever Christian What is that your sinne for which this banishment which now you suffer so long after the second house is so much prolonged beyond the banishment of the first house since that it is sufficiently manifest of the greatnesse of the sins which the Kings of Iuda did and yet for them the time of banishment was not prolonged but two and fifty yeares but in the second house they did not worship Idols and neverthelesse the captivity endures wonderfull long Iew I answer you to this doubt thus The sins wch they cōmitted in the time of the first house were very grievous that even then it was decreed that the second Temple should not stand but seventy whole weeks and then againe they should suffer punishment and should beare the iniquity of their fathers to the end of the redemption as it is explained in the end of Daniel which present captivity in which wee now are is for the sins which the Israelites committed before the Babylonish captivity Christian This your answer is vaine for the sonne shall not bear the iniquity of his father if hee bee not a follower of his fathers wickednesse but I will heare what Daniel saith concerning that captivity Iew Behold he speaks after this manner Blessed is he that waites and comes to a thousand three hundred and thirty five daies but a yeare is as a long day And againe a day is a little yeare Likewise there is a certaine place found in the earth where almost a whole yeare is but one day For example there is a place where the day takes up six months and the night challengeth to it selfe the remnant of time there I say a yeare consists of one day So Daniel called dayes yeares because he would have his words shut up and sealed Christian And when shall the mentioned

cannot finish any thing or that he wants power that he cannot bring to an end any certaine work But verily your tongue speaks a lie and your mouth doth meditate perversenesse it conceives labour and bringeth forth vanity you erre after the same manner in the whole heaven when you say the Moon from the beginning was equall with the Sun But I desire to heare you tell me what your wise men write of this matter Iew The Scripture saith thus the Lord made two great lights and afterwards it saith a greater light and a lesser light where wee must note that the lights from the beginning were equal in brightnesse but God lessened one and the reason why it was diminisht in its light was pride and unjust accusation or complaint for it is written evill shall not dwell with thee and he that telleth lies shall not tarry in thy sight Truly there is nothing more hatefull before God then an unjust complaint As it is written he that slanders his neighbour in secret him will I destroy and who hath eies lifted up and a proud heart him I cannot behold and because the Moone did complaine of her fellow God humbled her you ask me how she complained I 'll tell you see saith shee it is not meet that it should be said of thee that thou couldst not make divers sons Then saith God to her goe thou and be lesse in light therefore the Moon was confounded and diminisht in light for her sin and when hee shewed himselfe mercifull to her and gave the opening of the mouth to the penitent and to those that converted themselves from their whole heart to him shee was received into favour Our wise men being moved by this have writ that man should never cease to make repentance and should not say my iniquity is greater than can be remitted but if hee be converted the Lord receives him as it is written the Lord desires not the death of a sinner Ezek. 33.11 Christian Thou hast done well in concluding that repentance is shadowed out by the diminishing of the Moone for the story thou hast told mee is a parable and not the truth as many of you have falsely thought for the Moone hath not life soule or spirit whereby she might love or hate but God hath created it from the beginning a lesser light to rule the night and hath not diminisht it as you falsely assert But heare what the Prophet saith thus saith the Lord Ier. 10. 2. learne not according to the way of the Gentiles and be not afraid of the signes of heaven as the Gentiles feare them Behold the Gentiles beleeved such things who knew not the living God Moreover it is not written that the Moon did envy the Sun and did desire to rule in the world why therefore do you believe such things which the Philosophers never thought who affirme that the Moone hath no light of her selfe but receives her brightnesse from the Sun as doe all the stars for the Sunne alone is light of it selfe and hence it is that the Moon and Starres have lesse light than the Sun which may easily bee demonstrated from the eclipse of the Moone when the earth hinders the beames of the Sunne from touching the body of the Moone and if you desire to heare I 'll tell you in short the cause of the eclipse of the Moon Forasmuch as the Moone of it selfe hath no light but receives its splendor from the Sun know that these two lights alwaies in the middle of the Month do stand one against another and though the earth be in the middle yet because the body of the Moon for the most part doth bow down either towards the north or towards the south the shadow of the earth cannot hinder the beames of the Sunne from touching inlightning the Moon But when the Moone in the time of the opposition is in the point of the head of the Dragon or neer to wit twelve degrees lower the Moon is darkned sometimes wholly sometimes in part according as it is more or lesse distant from the mentioned head which I will not here discusse in many words therefore I will turn my selfe to another thing You say that the Iewes shall celebrate a great Feast in the latter times in which they shall eat one common Oxe which in the meane while is fed in a certaine great mountaine and Leviathan that is a great fish salted from the beginning of the world and kept for the just and they shall drinke wine from the first six daies reserved together with the grapes I desire to know from you if this be true Iew It is true our wise men speak of the Leviathan that hee was slain immediately after the first six daies for the scripture saith that God created great whales and without doubt there was two of them but God slew the one namely the female and did season it with salt and reserves it for the just This we gather from hence because the Text hath tanimin with one jod and not with two and peradventure for this cause it is not written in the fifth day and it so came to passe as in the other two daies because that existence was unperfect by reason of the killing the of female wch doth not want a mystery It is moreover written in Isaiah In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish Leviathan the piercing Serpent even Leviathan that crooked Serpent and hee shall slay the Dragon that is in the sea You see the Scripture speaks of one Whale neither was it Gods will that he by bringing forth young should multiply himself in the sea for otherwaies no man could go to sea without danger Againe it is written in the 104 Psalme 26. There is that Leviathan whom thou hast made to play therein the Prophet saith that in the singular number and masculine gender therefore the female was kill'd especially seeing it is manifest that at the first God created male and female concerning the Feast it is written canst thou draw out Leviathan with an hook or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down hee who made him can make his sword to approach unto him c. And it is written the companions shall prepare him for a banquet and the Merchants shall divide him amongst them Moreover God planted a Garden of pleasure And againe it is written The branch of my plantations shall be the work of my hands that I may be glorified signifying a Garden of the best fruits And I pray you who shall eat these truly now they are eat by none but are reserved for the just against the time to come Christ You make mee laugh when you bring Scripture authorities and interpret them according to your folly understanding them according to the letter whē notwithstanding they are Metaphors It is true God created great Whales but 't is fals that he presētly slew the female

the iniquity of Israel but in the month Nisan they shall be delivered which month also before when they were delivered out of Egypt was the beginning of redemption they shall come forth before Nisan and shall ascend towards the land of promise but in the first day of that moneth the building of the Temple shall bee finisht and they shall dedicate the Altar in that day and when they shall be in their journy God shall judge them in the desert as it is written As I live saith the Lord God I will bring you out from the people and will gather you together out of the Nations in which you have been scattered and will lead you into the desert of the people and will judge you there face to face as as I judged your fathers in the desert of the Land of Egypt the meaning of which place is this When I shall bring you forth out from the people I will not lead you to the land of Israel untill I shall judge you in the desert of the people for there I will take vengeance of you and will destroy the rebellious and every wicked one whom I shal find amongst you I will take my judgement of you in the place where no man shall bee found to passe or repasse lest the Nations should see your evill and should rejoice over you but he saith face to face that is between mee and between you onely without any mediatour Christian Shall then all the Nations beleeve in one God Iew Divers faiths shall not then be in the world as now but a chosen language shall returne to the people that all may call upon the Name of the Lord and may serve him with one shoulder for then shall be fulfilled that which is written To gather together all nations that they may come and see my glory I will set a signe amongst them and I will send forth the rest of them to the Gentiles that they may shew my glory and bring all your brethren from all Nations a gift to the Lord on horses and chariots as if he should say I will cause all nations to come with Gog and Magog and see my glory wherewith I will be glorified among them and I will cause the remnant to goe into all Nations and declare my glory among the Gentiles who have not come to Ierusalem and when they shall heare that great miracle which God hath done in the Tents of Gog and Magog they shall bring the sons of Israel on horses and chariots for a gift to the Lord and they shall bring them honourably apparelled set on horses and chariots and the seed of Israel shall continue all the daies of the world neither shall the Israelites ever perish or be led into banishment out of their owne land as those Nations thought who came with Gog and Magog to besiege Ierusalem who thought to lead away Israel and blot out their name Again the Prophet saith and all flesh shall come and worship before my face saith the Lord for all that are left of all the Nations shall come every yeare to Ierusalem to worship the King of Heaven and celebrate the feast of Tabernacles He saith evidently the Feast of Tabernacles which battell of Gog and Magog shall bee in that time Also the Nations shall come from every part of the world to seek the peace of Israel bringing a gift to her A gift as it is written Thus saith the Lord behold I give to her namely Ierusalem peace as a river and the glory of the Gentiles as a flowing stream not that it shall hurt like an overflowing flood but as an overflowing flood comes unawares so glory shall suddenly come to them that is the riches of the Gentiles and all the daies of the world the Nations of the world shall serve Israel and the Israelites shall have dominion over their enemies and they shall revenge that bondage which the Gentiles have abused in their servitude all the daies of the captivity and now also all the Nations who doe not serve the Iewes are the debitors of death and worthy of banishment as it is written in Isaiah Arise shine for the Nation and Kingdome that will not serve thee shall perish therefore all the time that they serve the Israelites they have a strong hope as it is said And strangers shall stand and feed thy sheep and the children of strangers shall bee thy husbandmen and thy vine-dressers Whence it appeares you ought to serve us every houre to fulfill that which is said the greater shall serve the lesser It is also written with you that Saint Iohn hath said the Iewes are to be honoured for our salvation came from them Christian That last is false because it is not written in the booke of Iohn that ye Iewes are to be honoured by the Christians but thou hast added that to the words of our Messias who said it not But yet you have not told me who is Gog and who is Magog and when their battel shall be against the Israelites Iew Magog is a name of a Nation and Gog the name of the King reigning in that Nation But Magog came of the sons of Iaphet and behold they say that from the daies of Alexander King of the Greeks the posterity of Magog have been shut up in the end of the north whom Alexander shut up there within the mountaines whence they have not gone forth hitherto but they shall goe forth in the time of salvation after that Israel is gone out of captivity for so wee have found it written that Alexander the Macedonian shut up Gog and Magog within great and high mountains out of which there is no egresse but in one place onely where hee made a very strong building whose wals are of Iron that no man can goe forth thence also in that wall hee hath made by wonderfull industry iron men who continually as it were with hammers and axes doe smite upon the wall that the men who are within the wals may thinke that building is to be continued and fortified for ever that none of them may ever go forth and that building shall not be broken neither shall any passage be made until that great and terrible day come when it shall please the Lord that they may goe forth thence for then mountaines shall be throwne down and the steep places shall fall and every wall shall fall to the ground for thus saith the Lord God behold I am against thee O Gog and I will bring thee forth all thine army horses and horsemen and all of them clothed with all sorts of armour even a great company with bucklers and shields all of them handling swords Persia Ethiopia and Lybia with them all of them with shield and helmet Gomer and all his bands the house of Togarma of the north quarters ver. 14 15. In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely thou shalt know it and shalt come out of
