The Jesus I Know: Yeshua the Messiah develops how God's plan for the predicted Messiah is the very center of Old Testament theology. Many current hermeneutical approaches to Old Testament prophecy promote a New Testament priority that re-signifies Old Testament verbal meaning or a historicocritical approach that denies futurism and the inner continuity of Scripture. This book demonstrates how the biblical authors develop a cumulating case for the Messiah and His work while respecting the historically conditioned, single-meaning intention of each author.This study develops some of the most outstanding and incomparable predications of the Messiah, tracing His presence, power, and progress through the history of this world and through the Bible. Dr. Kaiser illustrates how the seed promise of Genesis 3:15 is developed and expanded throughout the Old Testament while demonstrating how the Old Testament predictions fit within the New Testament.

Hannah's deliverance from her distress is a foreshadow of the full deliverance Yeshua's followers will experience when he returns to rescue his people. Through Samuel, God gives us a fascinating look of how he works, showing us the way Messiah will come and judge all persons as he concludes history in the last days.

Daniel trusted God when circumstances uprooted his life completely, and he always chose peaceful means to win over the opposition without being confrontational. He sought God's wisdom, knowledge, and understanding and allowed God to work through him for the good of the people that he was among. 188 pages.

The book of Nehemiah's opening verse immediately declares that "Nehemiah, son of Hacaliah," contrary to other so-called historical books of the Old Testament, is named as the author of this book. Nehemiah's name means "Yahweh/Jehovah comforts," and his father's name means "Yahweh/Jehovah is hidden." Thus, Nehemiah began his own personal account of his memoires as directed by the Holy Spirit. The first seven chapters of Nehemiah are all written in the first-person pronoun, as well as the material in Nehemiah 12:31-13:31. Therefore, we are given an unusual and unique look into the heart and life of an outstanding servant-leader of God. Nehemiah combined a steady life of prayer, a deep trust in the Lord, along with unusually careful planning, good organization skills and energetic action in the twelve years of his administration over the province of Judah.

The book of Job speaks to some of the most universal issues of our human experience. Feelings of grief,misery, sorrow and distress are played out against the backdrop of a man resolute in his claim of innocence of the accusations, brought by three of his alleged friends, of being an unrepentant sinner. But Job‿s sufferings serve to demonstrate more truth than Job and his friends grasped. Walter Kaiser guides us through this often‿neglected book to find that pure worship in suffering is not only possible, but that such times of suffering can deepen our insight into the character of God.

Most of us will have faced that most delicate situation of meeting a person who is suffering. We tend to go down one of two different avenues. One is to offer well-intentioned advice often in the form of well-worn cliches that the person will have heard several times before. The other is not to say anything at all risking the danger of leaving the person under the impression that God has no idea what is going on and is unable to help.How are we to understand suffering and its place in our lives? Should we try and rationalize it away, trying to come up with a solution that sits as comfortably as possible? Surely we should look to Scripture first? This is what Walter Kaiser does here. Looking at the Old Testament book of Lamentations Kaiser does not offer any easy solutions but rather shows us how a Sovereign and Loving God can work through even the most painful moments.
