but the old testament is filled with prophecies of the coming messiah. This is another text or part of one that didn't make the cut...the Old testament has references of books that were never in the "canon" like the book of Jubilees is mentioned, and others.
I didn't see in the article where this was dated. There was such a turmoil during the rein of the Romans. The longing for a Messiah to save them, many believed that Simon Bar Kokhba was one, 132 AD
-The Jewish sage Rabbi Akiva (alternatively Akiba) regarded the chosen commander Simon Bar Kokhba to be the Jewish Messiah, according to the Star Prophecy verse from Numbers 24:17: "There shall come a star out of Jacob" ("Bar Kokhba" means "son of a star" in the Aramaic language).- Wiki.
The article is interesting.
