Interestingly, there have been many who professed to be the Savior over the years. Many have come to Israyl, claiming to be the prophesied Messiah.
In June of 1982, one such man came into Yerusalem riding on a white donkey! I asked a guide at that time if they might have hanged him on a tree in fulfillment of the prophecy concerning the True Savior. He replied that the man left town before they could get around to fulfilling that prophecy.
Even if that man had been willing to die for the sins of the people, he could not have been the true Savior, simply because the time was not right. Remember, the prophecy concerning the coming of the true Savior consisted of a certain time sequence.
The Prophet Daniyl stated the time period in which the true Savior would appear.
Daniyl 9:25-26—
25 Know therefore, and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to rebuild Yerusalem, to the Messiah the prince, will be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks; the street will be rebuilt again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after sixty-two weeks Messiah will be cut off, without a successor; and the people of the prince that will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end will be with a flood; and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
We cannot deny this plain and simple prophecy. We are not only given the prophecy of a man's coming, but we are given the exact time that certain events would occur.
The above prophecies mention specific events and situations intended to reveal to us the time of the Savior's death. We are told that the temple and the city of Yerusalem would be destroyed soon after. It is necessary, in fulfilling these prophecies, that the true Savior be born, live and die before these events took place.
If one refuses to acknowledge these important prophecies, one refuses the prophets whom Yahweh inspired.
The prophecy concerning the destruction of the temple was fulfilled in 70 c.e. when Caesar gave orders to demolish the city and the temple as we see in The Complete Works of Josephus, page 589.
"Caesar gave orders that they should now demolish the whole city and Temple... it was laid so completely even with the ground, by those who dug it up to the foundation, that there was left nothing to make those that came thither believe it had ever been inhabited."
