Ah, but Y'shua haMessiach had to die to fulfill the Master Plan.

When Lucifer, the Archangel led his rebellion against the King of the Universe, he declared, "I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."

At that point, Adoshem decided to bring forth a race with inborn free will, and an inborn propensity for rebellion. He left Lucifer, now the Satan, in the world to provide adversity and the testing (temptation), but with the loving Wisdom that the overcoming of adversity produces strength, character, and maturity.

Those who win out over temptation by looking only to Him for strength (through the keeping of His Commandments, and genuine remorseful repentance of their failures) through Faith, would be acceptable replacements of the fallen spiritual host, and their souls would be transfigured into spiritual bodies to live in timeless existence. I see an allegory of this process in the transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly.

Now, many false Prophets are in the world, and many will say they are the Messiach.  And many will be deceived by them, as Eve was deceived by the whisperer.  Only the One Who comes with Shekina and is seen by all the world in a moment will be the true Yasha.  But first, there will be terrible trouble in all the earth, and the faith of many will wilt and fail, as in the days of WWII.  But, the leaf is green on the "fig tree" which is Israel reborn, and it will not be so long before the sheep are seperated from the goats.

Bootsykowan,

I love you, Lady.

I am absolutely convinced the Y'shua had an education comparable to the Pharasees and Saducces, the Levitical Scribes, and even the High Priest himself.  In His time, a carpenter was not merely a maker of cabinets and other furniture.  He was the consummate Building Contractor.  His Mother and His Mother's Husband would have been quite well-off, financially.  The account is that at twelve years of age, He was found discussing and disputing with such Learned Elders, and they were AMAZED by His answers to them.

As regards the Prince of Persia, he is the one who withstood the Angel Michael for two weeks, when Michael was dispatched from the Throne of Adoshem to give wisdom to Daniel.  We neek no other account than that of Daniel himself, to know that fact.
