For the most part, it was an interesting [and useful] perspective trying to find links between the Judaic Tanakh (aka Old Testament) and the Christian New Testament. Over all, I found the links made with an accompanying commentary on the cultural context for events to be the most helpful. The numerology components were more hit or miss. Where the symbolism/meaning of numbers were discussed along with citations on where they appear were interesting; I found the use of a numerical equivalent for one phrase to indirectly reference/connect another phrase in other places to be a bit of a stretch in many cases, especially when referencing different languages and/or phrases instead of single words. Unfortunately there is a significant amount of that in the book and it made it a tough slog at times.

I was given this free advance reader copy (ARC) ebook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Having recently completed an in-depth study of Genesis with my BSF group, I found this book fascinating and eye opening, I've also heard my pastor speak of studying Greek and Hebrew and reading the bible in the original language. This book gave me a greater understanding of using the language Jesus was speaking, and his disciples, and applying it to scripture.

The mysteries, and as Rabbi Sobel reveals some of them that are hidden in plain sight: Hebrew word for Father, has a Numerical Number of 3, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Since a tree caused the Fall, the son of God had to die on a tree.

There are so many words of wisdom here, I will be reading this one more than once!

I received this book through Read With Audra, and was not required to give a positive review.

Let me begin by saying that this isn't a book to quickly read and set aside; instead, it should be read slowly, with a pen and paper nearby. Mysteries of the Messiah offers a unique look at the connection of Jesus to both the Old and New Testaments, and it is full of intriguing information that I've never seen before. The author is Rabbi Jason Sobel, and he assures readers that "Uncovering the mysteries of the Messiah, the divine connection God has woven throughout Scripture, is a lifetime adventure that will never disappoint." Thankfully, Rabbi Sobel offers assistance for our journey, as he uses the Hebrew and Greek alphabet, and the numbers associated with the letters, to shine a light on this 'divine connection'.

Mysteries of the Messiah: Unveiling Divine Connections from Genesis to Today is a fascinating resource that is both enlightening and inspiring. I recommend it to all who want to learn more about the presence of Jesus in both the Old and New Testaments, and deepen their personal relationship with Him!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via I Read with Audra. There was no obligation for a positive review, and I am voluntarily sharing my thoughts.

In Mysteries of the Messiah: Unveiling Divine Connections from Genesis to Today, Rabbi Jason Sobel calls for Christian and Messianic Jews to come together in unity by recognizing and embracing the Jewish heritage of Jesus. As the subtitle indicates, Rabbi Sobel starts with the Genesis creation narrative and highlights the evidence of Yeshua even in the earliest parts of the Bible.

Often Mysteries of the Messiah read like a college term paper as it was highly analytical. At times, Rabbi Sobel expounded on his point to offer a life lesson or spiritual truth, but most of the information was factual about how the promised Messiah presented in those events. The numerical value of Hebrew letters was a new and interesting concept to me that came up frequently throughout the book. While I was not always convinced by Rabbi Sobel’s points, I found his explications very informative and worth consideration. He gave the best explanation of the Torah, Talmud, and Midrash that I have ever read. My favorite chapters were The Messiah, Our Passover (Chapter 8) and The Messiah in the Desert (Chapter 10).

I recommend Mysteries of the Messiah: Unveiling Divine Connections from Genesis to Today by Rabbi Jason Sobel to readers who desire to explore the Old Testament (and portions of the New Testament) in light of Messiah Yeshua. This book is precise and informative, appropriate for clergy and lay people alike.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a copy of this book by the author or publisher. All opinions in this review are my own.
