ACCORDING TO JONATHAN CAHN, DOES THE BABYLONIAN TALMUD IN SANHEDRIN 93B BEAR WITNESS ABOUT JESUS AS THE SUFFERING MESSIAH?

FACT CHECKING

THE ANSWER IS NO AND THIS IS A FALSE TEACHING AND IT'S NOT A MYSTERY! SEE TIME FRAMES 2:45-4:07.

The text actually about the suffering Messiah (identifying the "leprous scholar" or the "sickly one" with the Messiah) is in Sanhedrin 98b, not 93B. Sanhedrin 93b is primarily a discussion about the Messiah's unique ability to judge by smell, and the righteous historical figures who resisted sin. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

To break down what the Talmud says across these chapters:

1. Sanhedrin 93b

The Messiah's Intuition: The sages interpret Isaiah 11:3 (translated as "He shall judge by the scent of the fear of the Lord") as a test for the Messiah. When false messiah Bar Koziva (Bar Kokhba) claimed the title, the sages asked him to judge by scent. When he failed, he was rejected and killed.
Not About the "Suffering Messiah": This chapter does not discuss the Messiah bearing our sins or acting as a suffering savior; rather, it highlights the righteousness of figures like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

2. Sanhedrin 98b

Names for the Messiah: This is the famous passage where the sages debate the name of the Messiah.
The "Leprous Scholar": The Rabbis suggest His name is "the leper scholar of the house of Rabbi [Yehuda HaNasi]". They substantiate this name using Isaiah 53:4, which describes an individual who has "borne our sicknesses" and whom we esteemed "smitten of God". [1, 2, 3, 4]

3. The "Suffering Messiah" in Jewish Tradition

Mixed Opinions: There is mixed opinion on how to interpret Sanhedrin 98b and Isaiah 53 in Judaism. Some rabbinic traditions, like those of Nahman of Breslov, have interpreted this as the Messiah taking on suffering on behalf of Israel.
The Role of Israel: However the dominant view within Rabbinic Judaism is that the "Suffering Servant" described in Isaiah 53 represents the nation of Israel as a collective entity, who suffers at the hands of the nations, rather than an individual, supernatural Messiah. [1, 2, 3, 4]

CLICK ON THE 2 LINKS BELOW TO FIND OUT THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT THE WRITINGS OF THE RABBIS AND WHY JESUS CENSORED THEIR WRITINGS PRESERVED WITHIN THE BABYLONIAN TALMUD AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF THE 2ND JEWISH TEMPLE IN 70 AD . CHRISTIANS NEED TO REJECT MR. CAHN'S FALSE CLAIMS ABOUT THESE RABBINICAL WRITINGS BEARING WITNESS TO JESUS AS THE SUFFERING MESSIAH IN HIS VIDEO ABOVE. RABBINICAL JUDAISM IS NOT THE SAME AS THE JUDAISM OF THE O.T. IT IS A RELIGIOUS CULT THAT WAS FOUNDED BY THE SCRIBES & PHARISEES WHEN THEY WERE IN EXILE DURING THEIR BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY AND CONTINUES TO EXIST TODAY AS THE RELIGIOUS CULT KNOWN AS RABBINICAL JUDAISM. RECENTLY THIS RELIGOUS CULT FROM THE ULTRA ORTHODOX BRANCH OF JUDAISM HAS BEEN PERSECUTING MESSIANIC CHRISTIAN JEWS AS WELL AS OTHER CHRISTIANS FROM OTHER DENOMINATIONS PARTICULARLY IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
