1. Why is Messianic Prophecy important to the believers?
-To the believers, the Messianic Prophecy is important because this is the proof that our Lord is a Holy one and that we shall worship him because He is our Creator, Savior, Redeemer and Provider. According to the Holy Bible, “He is Lord of lords and King of kings” (Rev. 17:14; cf. 19:16), who shares with God in His nature, granting us grace as well as peace (Phil. 1:2; 2 Thess. 1:2), comforting our hearts and establishing us in all good works (2 Thess. 2:16, 17). Therefore, with these Bible verses that supports the prophecy, the Lord is our King of all Kings and that He is the Holy Being that would save us all.
2. Go to the internet search and list those who claim as Messiah or
Christ, choose one out of them with their reason why he/she claim himself/herself as the Christ. William W. Davies, the leader of a Latter Day Saint schismatic group called the Kingdom of Heaven from 1867 to 188. He was born into a family of Methodist then grew up and moved to Utah Territory as a Mormon Pioneer. He had a series of revelations which instructed him to establish the "Kingdom of Heaven. He and forty of his followers moved there in 1866. But then, Davies departed from Mormonism because of his teachings of reincarnation. He taught his followers that he was the archangel Michael, who had previously lived lives as the biblical Adam, Abraham, and David. Then when his son Arthur was born on, Davies declared that the infant was the reincarnated Jesus Christ. The size of Davies's followers doubled after the announcement. When Davies's second son was born, he was declared to be God the Father. Only then the Kingdom of Heaven collapsed after both of his children died. His followers sued him which brought to the Kingdom to close. He tried reviving this by moving to another state but he failed and then gave up. Davies returned to Walla Walla shortly before his death in 1906, and is buried at the Lyons Cemetery north of Mill Creek Road.
3. Why Christ Death is a victory rather than a failure?
Christ’s death was more than a victory rather than a failure. This is because God sent Him, His only begotten Son, to save human from sin. He spread the word of God and taught people the teachings of the Bible. A lot of people got mad because they thought He was spouting nonsense but all He said was true. This lead to His crucifixion and then died. But He wasn’t dead. He is alive and is going to return to get His people, the believers, and bring them back to Heaven. It’s a victory because He did everything what God wanted, even sacrificed for us. This means that His love for us will always remain and is what will save us all if we believe. So this is a victory and not a defeat because the good will always prevail.
