Notes:

  The following 25 Messianic Principles are compiled from Josephus's writings and biblical interpretations and history of the Jewish People up to the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70 AD (which Josephus was an eye-witness, and if the Jewish Peoples had listened to Josepheus,Jerusalem and the Temple probably would not have been been destroyed).

Josephus's 25 Messianic Principles are what primarily the religious people believed and followed up to the destruction of the Jewish Temple.

 Maimonides a 12th Century Jewish scholar said the long awaited Messiah will simply be a teacher with a Message.  Eventhough  Josephus's books were written in Rome after the Jewish People had already been dispersed, perhaps his writings should be read now..

 In Josephus's writings, All Humanity can have the same relationship with God.

 

Preface to the Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus
"I mean, unless they be taught first of all, that God is the Father and Lord of all things, and sees all things, and that thence he bestows a happy life upon those that follow him; but plunges such as do not walk in the paths of virtue into inevitable miseries.."

 

Josephus's 25 Messianic Principles

 

God is Perfect Virtue.

All Humanity is made in God's Image.

We must all strive for Virtue.

God is the Father of all Humanity.

God is the Judge of all Humanity. 

We can all Walk with God.

God Sees all Things.

God will Bless the Virtuous.

God will Punish the non-Virtuous.

Beware the Wrath of God.

The Kingdom of God can be within each Individual.
(Since we are made in God's Image, we should know what is virtuous behavior)

Divine Providence means God guides you.

Give Thankfulness to God.

Your Soul may be Immortal.

God can be your Protector.

Obey the 10 Commandments.

The first commandment teaches us, That there is but one God, and that we ought to worrship him only; the second commands us not to make the image of any living creature to worship it; the third, That we must not swear by God is a false matter; the fourth, That we must keep the seventh day, by resting from all sorts of work; the fifth, That we must honor our parents; the sixth, That we mst abstain from murder; the seventh, That we must not commit adultery; the eigth, That we must not be guilty of theft; the ninth, That we must not bear false witness; the tenth, That we must not admit of the desire of anything that is any other's.

 

 If Humanity discovered Josephus's 25 Messianic Principles, maybe humanity would be living in the Messianic Age.
