About the Book
Abou the Book
My religious upbringing did not provide me with a sufficient understanding of the Bible to support my beliefs. While engaged in intense prayers, a sudden moment of enlightenment occurred: pursue a Christian education at a university and you would gain the knowledge and understanding you’re searching for. This ignited within me an unextinguishable drive and purpose. Forty years of lucrative chiropractic practice elapsed without any action being taken, yet the fire continued to burn as intense. The sole recourse was to matriculate at a seminary, a course of action I ultimately pursued in October 2018…
During the four-year training at a Southern Baptist university, I wrote my thesis focused on the Messianic prophecies and how Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled them. I converted my paper into the book titled Messianic prophecies, Cross Examined, and subtitled it, 31 Keys to the Kingdom.
This book is for you only if you want to know the 31 keys to the kingdom, if you want to shift your consciousness wildly and positively. This book is for you if you are a minister or a church administrator, if you are a student at a seminary, if you’re a Christian apologist, if you’re a scholar, or one of the over 2 billion Christians around the world.
This book is NOT for you, if you already know everything, if you got the Scriptures memorized, this is not for you. It’s not for you if you want to stay the same as before, and it’s not for you if you have no desire to transform. For I caution you, as the writing of the thesis transformed me, this book will shift your consciousness.
During the four years at the seminary, I compressed the Scriptural library into 188 pages of this amazing book. You will discover those amazing things that thrilled me to my core. I wanted to shout and tell the world about them, but the ‘next day’ did not come fast enough. I Kept saying, why me?
“We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.” This book gives you a kind of knowledge (not just information) that in the words of another reader, “It showed me the Keys to the Kingdom.” And that is why I chose the book’s subtitle, “31 Keys to the Kingdom.”
It is a well-researched document that granted me the degree, master’s in theology (MTS) in 2022.
So, finally, this book is the fruit of my four year’s studies at the seminary. It is that “next day that did not come fast enough,” but, finally here.
How Do The Messianic Claimants Fulfill The Jewish Holy Scriptural Prophecies For The Office Of Messiah?
Loujan Jubin Matin expresses the hope that this book reaches scholars and theologians, but clarifies it isn’t specifically for them. Titled Messianic Prophecies, Cross-Examined, it targets the global Christian community. While Christians are the primary audience, the author encourages Jews, Muslims, and Baha’is worldwide to study it for a closer connection with the Lord.
The book, set in a courtroom scenario, unfolds messianic prophecies and their fulfillment by Jesus through spirited exchanges between the author (Jesus’ defense council) and Jesus’ interrogator. The writing avoids technical language, offering accessible explanations. Matin emphasizes the importance of reading chapters sequentially for a comprehensive understanding.
