From: Dee Crabb To: heb_roots_chr@geocities.com Subject: Re: Yeshua remaining for 40 days after His Resurrection Rooters, It seems to me that Yeshua stayed the forty days on earth before final ascension to teach. He taught His disciples through the Torah all that pertained to Him, and what they were to teach others. Remember the first two disciples that He spoke with on the Road to Emaeus (sp)? This happened right after His coming out of the tomb. He was instructing them, opening up the Sciptures so that they could see who He really was, The Messiah that would come again. Remember, He did the same thing to Nicodemus. These disciples of Yeshua's were to go out to others as witnesses, so they needed this completeness in teachings from Yeshua in order to get it right. If you will recall, during His walk with them (before His death, burial, and resurrection) they always had many questions, and sometimes they did not fully understand. But seeing Him in His resurrected body, and knowing what He had been saying was true, yet they still needed further instruction, and passages of the Tanach had to be opened to them for their understanding. Shalom, Dee. ************************************************************************
