If someone wanted to confuse the world as to who the Messiah is they wouldn’t have to erase the Messiah completely, they would simply have to create enough confusion and doubt that people wouldn’t know for sure. This is the situation we find ourselves in when it comes to people not believing that Jesus is Lord and Messiah. The Messiah is supposed to have fulfilled all the prophecies that were given of him. If an enemy erases the words of the prophecies, then we do not know or fully comprehend the prophecies. The most important parts that display the accuracy of the scripture become murky. We will look at two specific prophecies given by Isaiah. Jesus’ birth and Jesus’ healing of eyes born blind should settle the issue as to Jesus being Yahweh and Messiah for everyone. Let’s see if we can drill down to make this understandable to our unbelieving friends and family.

There are two bookends to Jesus being the Messiah. We are indebted to the Latin translators who held firmly to one portion of the text which is their founding faith. We find this in Isaiah 7, the Messiah born of a virgin. Although Latin translators did not put back all the words of the phrase. The second big alteration concerning Jesus Messiah is in Isaiah 61, about the opening of blind eyes. Latin translators did not translate this verse, but instead used the Masoretic text without checking the Septuagint.
Jesus opened blind eyes. All the Septuagint versions agree that the phrase “recovery of sight to the blind” is in the text, but our King James seems to be missing this phrase. Jesus quoted the Septuagint in the synagogue in Nazareth with the added missing phrase. So in the King James the correct translation of Isaiah 61 is recited by Jesus in Luke 4, but Isaiah 61 itself in the King James is incorrect. Who took this phrase out? The Masoretes. The Masoretes wanted to make someone else the messiah. The Masoretes were altering text as far back as 100 AD after the fall of the temple in Jerusalem. They then compiled their own text with thousands of alterations between the years of 600 and 900 AD. But the Septuagint was written in 250 BC. Not by unknown people but by scribes in the temple of Nehemiah under the direction of the high priest. Seventy two scribes together wrote the 70 books of the Greek text. The originals went to the library at Alexandria and the 72 copies were passed around the synagogues.
The Masoretes changed the text so that their people would not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. This change affected the Latin text because the Latin scribes used the Masoretic text for the text of the old testament. Therefore all the thousands of alterations made to the Old Covenant ended up in the Latin text, except for one.
Where the Masoretes changed Isaiah 7:14 to a "young woman”, the Latin translators put the word “virgin” back into the text. This is what the Latin religion is based on, a virgin conceiving not just any young women. The Masoretes wanted to claim that Joseph was Jesus’ birth father. So the Latin stayed true to the Septuagint in Isaiah 7:14, but they did not change back all the words of this text.
Isa 7:14 (Brenton) Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive in the womb, and shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel.
Here is Isaiah 61 in the Latin.
Isaiah 7:14 (Vulgate) For this reason the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will call his name Emmanuel
Notice the underlined phrase.
Hebrew Old Testament Isaiah 7:14
לכן יתן אדני הוא לכם אות הנה העלמה הרה וילדת בן וקראת שׁמו עמנו אל׃
Therefore the Lord will give you a sign. Behold, the maiden conceived and gave birth to a son and called his name Amno El.
While the Latin put back the word virgin, they left out “womb”. They got close but they should now correct their thinking, because all the words are important.
Isaiah 7:14 G1223 On account of G3778 this, G1325 [3will give G2962 1 the lord G1473 2himself] G1473 to you G4592 a sign; G2400 behold, G3588 the G3933 virgin G1722 [2in G1064 3 the womb G2983 1will conceive], G2532 and G5088 shall bear G5207 a son, G2532 and G2564 you shall call G3588 G3686 his name G1473 G* Immanuel.
Notice how Luke records this.
Luk 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
The phrase deleted here from the Masoretic text was incomplete when corrected in the Latin. Mary conceived in the womb, the “matrix”. It seems like an unimportant detail at first glance but conception usually happens in the fallopian tube not the uterus/womb. The fertilized egg has to travel through the fallopian tube to the uterus where it is implanted. Mary conceived in the uterus. This is not the natural way to conceive. It is the way in-vitro fertilization (IVF) takes place. Mary was the first IVF recipient. This small detail may not have been understood two thousand years ago but it is understood today. While the Masoretes tried to hide Jesus’ virgin birth, they were also hiding Jesus’ conception in the womb, not the fallopian tubes.
We might think people didn’t know how babies were conceived in those days but that is not true. There were specific ways to conceive according to Yahweh. Every female human or animal of age would ovulate on the full moon. The new moon was to be a celebration of conception. By the new moon if a female human had her period, she did not conceive. By following Yahweh’s ways the Jews always multiplied far above all other nations. Unfortunately the New Moon celebrations turned into drunken orgies when people lost the knowledge of Yahweh.
Cesarean sections and abortions were also preformed in the Old Covenant times. The enemies of Israel would preform cesareans on women and take their babies to keep and raise as their own. Israel’s enemies would also abort babies to keep Israel from growing in numbers.

This is the first big alteration of the Messiah’s prophecy. We know that the Masorete’s were trying to keep the Jews from believing on Jesus as Messiah but they also hid the truth from the entire world. Some Jewish fables would suppose that Mary was “mounted” by the Holy Spirit as a bull, but that would suppose that Mary was then not a virgin any longer. Mary birthed Jesus as a virgin, she was not raped by the Holy Spirit. These are the ridiculous tales told to Christians. But because the Latin stayed true to their faith we at least had that partial truth to believe in. Jesus was conceived in Mary’s womb and birthed by Mary who was still a virgin.
Just a side note if we go back to our understanding of altered genetics and the allos genos, another of a different kind of genos, there is a reason that Mary had to birth Jesus as a virgin. The DNA in sperm enters a woman, and is absorbed, and can alter her DNA in the reproductive organs, along with any babies she bears in the future. This is one reason why Yahweh advocates for monogamy and no premarital sex. Jesus did not have any mixed genos in him. He did not have the half breed or hybrid contamination in him. This is why the detail about Jesus’ birth from a virgin mother is also important. Some Jewish fairytales claim that Joseph had relations with Mary while she was pregnant. That is untrue, she was a virgin at the birth of Jesus for the very reason of Jesus not being affected by a mixed genos.

So we can see, there are some subjects we don’t hear about but are vital for our understanding of the world in which we live. The mixing of humans and angels is incredibly important for our understanding and explains why Mary was still a virgin when Jesus was born.
Just to reiterate, Mary was a virgin. Mary conceived in her womb/matrix/uterus. Mary was the first IVF we know of. Mary remained a virgin until after Jesus was born. Mary did not contaminate the Messiah with any other mixed DNA. This was the requirement for a Messiah to come to earth. This is what we should be teaching regarding our faith, even if we simply believe without questioning, the added information is important as to why someone else could not be the Messiah. The Messiah had to be conceived in a virgin, in the womb, and be born while the mother was still a virgin. It might have been easy to trick people into believing some other guy was a messiah, just by calling him messiah, but no one else met these requirements. This is why it is important not to gloss over words but to understand the importance of every word. Jesus Christ was an IVF in a virgin uterus and a virgin birth. No genetic mixing at all.
Now we come to our second big alteration regarding the Messiah. One requirement was for the Messiah to heal blind eyes, and especially eyes born blind. In other words some people became blind after birth, but the Messiah would heal eyes blind from birth.
Joh 9:1 (ISV) As he was walking along, he observed a man who had been blind from birth.
Joh 9:2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that caused him to be born blind?"
Joh 9:3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so that God's work might be revealed in him.
Sometimes we miss this point. Bad things that happen to us are not always from sin, sometimes they are due to living in a fallen world. The Pharisees were so interested in sin; who was sinning and how they were sinning, that they missed the atonement for sin. The Messiah releases the captives from sin. Unfortunately today that message doesn’t come across in church. We allow Pharisaical thinking in our churches.

Jesus announced who he was and what he would be doing at a synagogue in Nazareth. This is our Messiah. They tried to hide him but their evil is exposed.
Isa 61:1 (Brenton) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me; he has sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor, to heal the broken in heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind;
Isa 61:2 to declare the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of recompence; to comfort all that mourn;
All the Septuagint versions agree here. The phrase “recovery of sight to the blind” is included in the Greek. What then is going on with the Latin?
Vulgate (i) 1 the spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to announce to the meek, he has sent me to heal the broken hearted and to preach forgiveness to the captives and an opening to the closed 2 to preach the propitiatory year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God to comfort all who mourn
Clementine_Vulgate, Douay-Rheims (i) 1 [The Spirit of the Lord upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; He sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the broken-hearted, and to preach indulgence to the captives, and opening to the shut; 2 that I might preach a propitious year to the Lord, and a day of vengeance to our God; to comfort all who mourn
When the King James translators came along, translating the Latin into English, they did not look at the Septuagint. They were assuming that the Masoretic texts were accurate. Our King James version is translated from Latin to English. The Latin translators would have to have been Greek scholars as well as Latin and Hebraic scholars to find the alterations to the text. This is why our King James version harbors all the Masoretic alterations. The English translators took the translation from the Latin who took their translation from the Masoretic text which was re-written between 600 and 900 AD by people who reject Jesus Christ. The Septuagint was scribed in 250 BC, as mentioned earlier, in the temple of Nehemiah, under the direction of the High Priest along with 72 scribes matching the text word for word. Yet with technology, we can find the alterations such as this one.
Isa 61:1 (KJV) The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
We see the phrase “recovery of sight to the blind” is not in the King James text.
The AP Polyglot is as follows.
Isaiah 61:1 G4151 Spirit G2962 of the lord G1909 is upon G1473 me, G3739 G1752 because G5548 he anointed G1473 me G2097 to announce good news G4434 to the poor. G649 He has sent G1473 me G2390 to heal G3588 the ones G4937 being broken G3588 in the G2588 heart; G2784 to proclaim G164 [2to captives G859 1a release], G2532 and G5185 [2to the blind G309 1recovery of sight];
2 G2564 to call G1763 [2year G2962 3 of the lord G1184 1 the acceptable], G2532 and G2250 day G469 of recompense; G3870 to comfort G3956 all G3588 the ones G3996 mourning;
As we know Jesus did not read the King James version in the synagogues. Jesus read the Septuagint. This is why, even in the King James, Jesus is recorded by Luke as including the phrase “recovery of sight to the blind”. Since Jesus was announcing his ministry to the people of his home town, the people would have noticed if he had left that phrase out. They had heard the scrolls read their whole lives. Since it was included the people then would expect to see Jesus healing blind eyes.
Luk 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luk 4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Luk 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luk 4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
Our modern translations include Jesus’ reciting of the Septuagint version of Isaiah 61. Yet none of our modern translations ever sought to find out why Jesus quoted something different than what they were recording.
Luk 4:18 (ISV) "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; he has anointed me to tell the good news to the poor. He has sent me to announce release to the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to set oppressed people free,
Luk 4:19 and to announce the year of the Lord's favor."
Luk 4:20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. While the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him,
One would think that modern translators would want to understand if Jesus was making up the phrase “recovery of sight to the blind” or if he was reading the text exactly. Yet none include any notation of the Septuagint as being accurate.
We can see how convoluted this one alteration of the text made the subject of blind eyes. It relegated Jesus’ healing ministry of regaining sight to people born blind of no importance. However it was the most important sign of the first century for the Messiah. Everyone knew a virgin was going to conceive, and they also knew a Messiah would open blind eyes, but by changing the text, the future generations were thrown into confusion regarding Jesus’ fulfillment of prophecy. Furthermore no one could establish whether someone else was the Messiah because without this requirement, anyone could claim they are the Messiah.
The requirements of a virgin birth and opening eyes born blind are equally important. No one fulfilled either of these prophecies besides Jesus. They are like book ends. This is what the Jewish leaders try so hard to hide. They do not want “their” people believing Jesus is the Messiah. They are sentencing their people to hell and they do not care. What would happen if a few Jewish leaders rose up and pointed out that their rabbis changed the written logos of Yahweh Elohim? There would be rioting in the streets against the Jews. Instead we could just ask if the Messiah hadn’t come, and the word of Yahweh is broken, then why bother filling synagogues every Saturday, because when he does come on the Day of the Lord it will not be a nice reunion.
Now step back just a bit. Who is interested in punishing the Jews because they brought forth the Messiah? Who wants to hurt Jews because they brought the world the knowledge of Yahweh Elohim? Who wants to lord over all people and send everyone to hell? The god of this world is playing this game, twisting the truth, using the Jewish people, and sentencing them to eternal death, and not caring what happens to any humans.
Armed with the words in the text, we see only one person has been born to a virgin, who conceived in her uterus not in her fallopian tubes, IVF, and who did not have any other human or hybrid DNA in her system to pass onto her baby. We also see only one person has ever announced who he was, then showed everyone who he was by his actions. We only see one person who recovered sight to people born blind as well as others who were blind. It is these two altered prophecies that confuse people about Yahweh Jesus Messiah. But now that they are unaltered we can enlighten people. Jesus healed at least ten blind people. He wasn’t a surgeon in a hospital. He walked north and south throughout Israel healing people as he went along showing people the power of the Elohim. Herein lies our faith.
