Yeshua is Born | Asher Intrater

About this sermon

What does it really mean that Yeshua was born not only as God, but as a Jewish child in a specific time and place in history? In this third session from Asher Intrater, President of Tikkun Global, we’re invited to explore how His genealogy, identity, and upbringing are central to God’s redemptive plan and covenant promises. Could it be that centuries of prayer, prophecy, and even spiritual conflict were all leading to this one moment? And what might it mean for us today if God desires to enter into and share in every detail of our lives just as He did through Yeshua? ____ 0:00 – Overview of the “Nine Lives of Yeshua” series to this point 1:18 – Yeshua is born through a Jewish girl named Miriam (particularity and universality) 2:20 – The full breadth of His divinity 3:00 – What Yeshua’s humanity means for our personal lives 4:26 – Genealogy and why it proves the Messiah’s identity as Yeshua 7:03 – The star, the wise men, and His birth as King 9:01 – The purpose of Israel’s history: bringing forth the Messiah 10:50 – The reason for anti-Semitism: to stop His birth and His return 11:54 – Herod’s massacre and satanic opposition 13:09 – Jewish upbringing: circumcision and His family’s obedience to the Torah 14:56 – Why Yeshua’s Jewish identity is essential 17:18 – The miracle of conception vs. birth 18:36 – Generations of prayer leading to His birth 19:35 – Mary vs. Zechariah: “How can this be?” 23:09 - “Almah (Hebrew: עַלְמָה)” Virgin or Secret: A prophecy only given three times in the Bible. 24:43 – Covenant lineage: why the Messiah came through specific lines 26:30 – Yeshua’s identity after the resurrection (still Jewish) 28:05 – Why God chose to enter the world as a baby
