will find this same doctrine in 2nd Esdras with exclamation points as even the fire which
proceeds from the mouth of Messiah that consumes the ungodly is the Law.
2 Esdras 13:38
...and he (Messiah) shall destroy them without labor, by the law which is
like unto fire...
However, Messiah said that same covenant, every letter of it, remains until the Day
of Judgment when Heaven and Earth pass thus, the New Covenant includes EVERY
letter of the Old. Also, His promises to Abraham, Isaac and Yacob as well as in Daniel,
Isaiah, Ezekiel and the Prophets are not complete in this age yet nor is His greatest work.
It is a fallacy to claim all of His purpose was completed at the Cross. He continues to
complete His work even today. How can we ignore especially Revelation?
Only Messiah fits this Prince of the Congregation as he is judge of all (2 Esd. 12:33, 8:18,
7:33, 7:44, 7:69, 8:18, 13:37, 11:46). He has a kingdom established forever (2 Esd. 9:1-8) and
He established His covenant which fits no prophet (2 Esd. 13:38). Yahusha is the Scepter
in prophecy (Gn. 49:10, Nm. 24:17, Hb. 1:18) who smites the ungodly peoples in the end (2
Esd. 9:9-13) and all kings will only serve Messiah and no one else (Psalm 72:11, Is. 45:22-25,
Phil. 2:10, Rom. 14:11). Literally, He came in the name of Yahuah (Yahusha, Jn. 5:43) and no
one can deliver those whom He judges and condemns to Hell (2 Esd. 7:45, 13:38). Only
Yahusha brings death spiritually and in finality to the ungodly (2 Esd. 13:11, 49) and with
His breath or as 2nd Esdras is being represented there, with fire from His mouth (2 Esd.
13:4, 10, 27, 38). Remember, Revelation is not written yet, this is quoting 2nd Esdras in
large part with a clear understanding of prophecy in general. Even the Lion Messiah is
mentioned prominently in 2nd Esdras (2 Esd. 11:37, 12:31-32).
We all know His forerunner, the Aaronic Priest from Qumran/Bethabara even
baptizing and blessing Him right there in fact – John the Baptist. John is the Master
in this fragment blessing and baptizing Messiah as this serves as evidence that John is
mentioned in Qumran as well. He was from the Sons of Zadok at Qumran/Bethabara
and this is well-recorded in the Gospels as he executed this prophecy. Because the
Qumran community was reading 2nd Esdras’ prophesies, they knew this and even that
they would play such a role in fact. They also knew that Messiah was coming very soon
because Esdras pinpoints a dating for Messiah’s birth even. They mention Him several
times. This prophetic fragment is dated to the 100 B.C. era before Messiah and John
and proves to be accurate prophecy thus inspired yet it originates in the prophesies of
2nd Esdras which are inspired as well.
One will truly find even local community documents, though not scripture necessarily,
in Qumran also wield inspiration in accurate interpretation such as these fragments.
Qumran/Bethabara knew in the end this Messiah would consume His enemies with
His breath that again Revelation is about 200 years in the future, not written yet.
