His name, given by Christ, means “rock,” and though he wavered at times, he…

One Messiah, Two Advents – Suffering Servant and Reigning King
The Hebrew Scriptures present a Messiah who is both a suffering servant and a conquering king. This apparent tension, humiliation and glory, rejection and enthronement, led some Jewish interpreters to speak of two figures: Messiah ben Joseph (the suffering deliverer) and Messiah ben David (the reigning king). Scripture itself, however, reveals one Messiah who fulfills…
