Talmudic Evidence for the Messiah at 30 CE by N. Federoff & T. Peterson

In the centuries following the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (70 CE), the Jewish people began writing two versions of Jewish thought, religious history and commentary. One was written in Palestine and became known as the Jerusalem Talmud. The other was written in Babylon and was known as the Babylonian Talmud.

We read in the Jerusalem Talmud:

“Forty years before the destruction of the Temple, the western light went out, the crimson thread remained crimson, and the lot for the Lord always came up in the left hand. They would close the gates of the Temple by night and get up in the morning and find them wide open.” (Jacob Neusner, The Yerushalmi, p.156-157)

A similar passage in the Babylonian Talmud states:

“Our rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple the lot [‘For the Lord’] did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-colored strap become white; nor did the western most light shine; and the doors of the Hekel [Temple] would open by themselves.” (Soncino version, Yoma 39b).

What are these passages talking about? Since both Talmuds recount the same information, this indicates the knowledge of these events was accepted by the widespread Jewish community.

The Miracle of the ”Lot”

On the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the lot chosen determined which of two goats would be “for the Lord” and which goat would be the ”Azazel” or ”scapegoat.” During the two hundred years before 30 CE, when the High Priest picked one of two stones, the priest would select a black stone as often as a white stone. But for forty years in a row, beginning in 30 CE, the High Priest always picked the black stone.

The Miracle of the Red Strip

The second miracle concerns the crimson strip or cloth tied to the Azazel goat. A portion of this red cloth was also removed from the goat and tied to the Temple door. Each year the red cloth on the Temple door turned white as if to signify that the sin atonement of another Yom Kippur was acceptable to the Lord. Between 30 CE and 70 CE, the cloth remained crimson.

The Miracle of the Temple Menorah

Every night for 40 years (over 12,500 nights in a row) the main lamp of the Temple menorah (lamp stand) went out of its own accord — no matter what attempts and precautions the priests took to safeguard against this event.

The Miracle of the Temple Doors

Beginning in 30 CE, the Temple doors swung open every night of their own accord. The leading Jewish authority of that time, Yohanan ben Zakkai, declared that this was a sign of impending doom, that the Temple itself would be destroyed.
