A MAN UNKNOWN



With respect to his arising, he will not be known beforehand until it is declared to him... a man, unknown prior to his manifestation, shall rise, and the signs and wonders that will come about through him will be the proof for the authenticity of his claim and pedigree. ..

"The Principle of Mashiach, and the Messianic Era


COMMENTARY BY APOLLO:
Who is this man that they look for? Moshiach, Mashiach...is the Hebrew term for Messiah. In the Jewish lands they did not believe that Jesus was the prophecied one, rather they look for a man to come, who has not yet come or showed himself. When he does appear, he is to be crowned to usher in a new world .


A MAN OF SECRECY:



QOUTE:

Although Moshiach's identity may be secret, ancient prophetic passages provide clues to his identity. This web site will focus on the "peshat-simple" and the "sod or secret" nature of the coming son of David.There is no greater mystery than the identity of Moshiach ben David. Moshiach who is represented by the number "8" waits in hiding. He peeks through the windows and peers through the crevices not wanting to be seen, behaving as if he's ashamed of his appearance. Why does he hide his face from the Jewish community? What is he waiting for? Why doesn't he come already?Unfortunately, he is in no spiritual condition to make himself known.


A MAN CONCEALED AND HIDDEN:



Why does Moshiach "tarry" or procrastinate? In the Tenach, ha sefer Shir haShirim 2:9 [Song of Songs] we are given insight into the early relationship between Moshiach and his bride Israel.Lack of knowledge from the chosen people prevents Moshiach from making his appearance.Why is Moshiach concealed and hidden among the gentiles? Could it have been the Holocaust or some other tragic event that lead to the concealment of the son of David? It's any ones guess what might have triggered the separation but one thing is for certain, in the latter days just prior to the revelation of Moshiach the son of David is a resident of Edom.At last Moshiach makes his appearance! The one who was previously standing behind the lattice is now spiritually strong enough to knock at her door. Why does Moshiach knock? Only a stranger knocks before entering. The owner of the house will not quickly open to a stranger. Moshiach will have severed all religious allegiance with Edom/Christianity (see Modern day Edom) but his love for the people in the Christian community will never be extinguished

In the principles of faith it says. " I believe with complete faith in the coming of the Mashiach, Though he tarry, nonetheless I await him every day that he will come"
