Israel365News: We are in the time of the Messiah now

Orthodox Jews do not yet know Jesus Christ as their Messiah, but they understand 'We are in the time of the Messiah now'.  Unfortunately, as Jesus foretells, when the Antichrist comes in his own name, they will initially follow him.

What I found interesting about this article, referencing a blog post by Rabbi Efraim Palvanov, is how the author ironically tangles the serpent image associated with the tribe of Dan with the Messiah and the tribe of Judah.  This is the deception of the Antichrist.  Jesus explains what it meant when 'Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness': He who knew no sin, became sin for us.  Throughout the whole Bible, the snake symbolizes sin, originating from that 'serpent of old', and embodied in 'the lawless one', the Antichrist.   It's significant that Dan is not listed as a part of the 144,000.  Instead, Dan may be on the wrong side of the ultimate fulfillment of Genesis 3:15.

We can be sure He is coming soon, and that should impact how we live!
