FALSE MESSIAH

This is a true story of my interview with a "False Messiah" that I met in Jerusalem at the Wailing Wall, on Shabbat a Friday evening! He was surrounded by hundreds of scholarly Jews, questioning him about his authenticity as Jesus Christ the Messiah, and he was holding his own scripturally from the Torah. They were crowding around him, like bees on a queen bee. I couldn't even get close, although I looked Jewish. I didn't speak the language and I could not get in the mix for fear of being recognized as a non-Jew that would've been dangerous so I stayed on the outside, waiting for the crowd to dissipate so that I could get next to this gentleman and ask him for an interview. I managed to pull that off and get close enough to speak with him and ask him for an interview, and he said yes. This is a fascinating interview.

It's not often you get an opportunity to interview an individual who believes they are actually "The Messiah." I had that opportunity in Israel in the summer of 1979 when I was a student at the Institute of Holy Land Studies on Mt. Zion in Jerusalem, Israel. The interview took place on the upper terrace of the majestic King David Hotel.

I do apologize as I cannot remember the two classmates that were with me in this interview Harold and Derek's. I cannot remember are there last names, nor can I locate them. I contacted another student that I went to Israel with, and he cannot remember their names either, it's been 44 years and I've lost contact. So, I do present this on their behalf too. Thank you, Harold, and Derek wherever you are today. This was an unusual once in a lifetime experience, that the three of us had that very few people ever have opportunity to experience.

It is a very interesting read to see how easily it is for people to be deceived to the point of believing in themselves. Deception runs deep, but Thank God the Word of God brings forth, truth, and truth sets us free!
