How did Israel's System of having a prophet work?

Actually there is some evidence for second coming. I forget the specifics and would have to find them and get back to you, but it ya to do with the temple being destroyed and then using it again, but it was destroyed and it would have to be later and something about the 7th seven or something like that. I know that isn’t very specific, but if I remember to come back to this I’ll talk about it more in depth
 
Also not to mention in Genesis where, if I understand it properly, it says “let US make man in OUR image”, so the trinity doesn’t seem crazy
 
Also can you please show any sources saying that all things have to be done in one lifetime? I don’t know if any
 
I’m referring to the world peace thing. I wasn’t sure if that was clear. Sorry 🙂
 
There are several discussions on CAF concerning this point.
 
I’m aware but I was referring to some info that I thought may have been in the Old Testament. I talked a little about it in another reply to that same comment that person made 🙂
 
Does anyone have any Old Testament/Tanahk (not sure on spelling) about a second coming, as this would help. I’m currently looking into it mysepf
 
What’s CAF? Is that the site for Jews and Arabs to be connected?
 
That is this site Diamond.

Also, just wanted to let you know that generally we try to avoid multiple posts in a row like you’re doing. You can edit posts and add additional data. I made multiple posts because I was making a wall of text and far surpassed the character limit, but generally smaller posts like yours are lumped together. Not a huge deal, it’s just common courtesy.
 
Oh sorry. I’m new to forums. I’ll try to remember to use edit and see if I can figure it out. Thanks for letting me know

And besides, I do not doubt a literal fulfillment of these things at the Second Coming. Already, the Jews are being regathered to the land of Israel, and they are recognizing their King in numbers not seen since the days of the Apostles. The days are coming when they will look on Him whom they have pierced and mourn as one mourns for an only son.

Jesus was above a prophet (Neviim- prophet). Read the book of Samuel. Samuel was a prophet who identified the Messiah, Laws of the King and Laws concerning Kings and the Messiah. Who can identify a Messiah? Who will announce his succession?

Can the Messiah be regarded as a prophet? Mashiach in his capacity as king, not in his capacity as prophet, for a prophet may not judge.

4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah; 5 and they said to him, “Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations.” 6 But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the LORD. 7 The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people …

The Law of the King (Dvarim 17: 14-20) appears after a number of other laws regarding the institutions of peoplehood and statehood.
The idea of Samuel (a prophet) and the chosing of a King (the Messiah) is that the prophet is one one who will identify him. Much like John the Baptist and the acclamation that Zechariah prayer made at his birth:

He spoke through His holy prophets,
those of ages past, 71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us,
72 to show mercy to our fathers
and to remember His holy covenant,
73 the oath He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us 74 deliverance from hostile hands,
that we may serve Him without fear,
75 in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our lives.

76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him

Samuel identified both Messiahs - Saul and David. A line of succession came afterwards.
