Where is it written Messiah would come twice?

Please give scripture (Hebrew Bible Only), where it states, messiah will come twice. Are there other places besides Isaiah, that state that he will come as a child.

It is NOT worded that way,but...........

There are references to a Messiah that would come-a Son is Born- a Child given-we will call His Name Mighty G-d-Prince of Peace-Wondeful Counsellor etc............

That obviously is a Literal Person born on Earth as a Human Being!

In Daniel- we have the Vision/Prophecy= of the Lord appearing in the Clouds at the End of Days- when the Dead will arise First from their Graves & then the Living will Arise to be with Him in the Clouds.

There are other OT references that I forgot that refer to the Ancient of Days also appearing in the Sky etc!

From these various references- it seems that there are either 2 Messiah with 2 Different purposes OR 1 Messiah that First would be born on Earth as a Human Being-but with Godly Qualities- & then come back at the End & appear in the Clouds as the Savior & usher in the Messianic Age???????????

Is. 9:5. For a child has been born to us, a son given to us, and the authority is upon his shoulder, and the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, called his name, "the prince of peace." (Complete Tanach.. with Rashi)

Note the tense in the verse. The child has been born and is a reference back to Is 7 where the young woman, most likely Isaiah’s wife, already pregnant, gives birth as a sign of the peace that Jerusalem will have when God saves Hezekiah and Jerusalem from the Assyrian king Sennacherib some 700 years before the NT era.

Also, there can be no dual prophecy since these conditions can no longer exist, and certainly did not exist in the NT era.

We should not be re-writing the bible in an attempt to force it into fitting our new history or theology.

I agree-we should NEVER add or subtract to the BIBLE- that is a Huge Sin?

I guess I have had different Translations-I am always seeking Correct Translations- because even one Word can change the Meaning of everything-!!!!!!!!

I will now try again to study this more closely.I am at a Disadavntage-because I do NOT speak or Read Hebrew nor Ancient Hebrew & have NO ACCESS to the Original Texts.I do agree that this verse has Probably been manipulated in the Past by gentile translaters-whether or not it was deliberate or out of ignorance-I don't know???????

Christians themselves are now debating this very Issue & some now believe that this verse was mistaught or misunderstood by the gentile Church & also many Messianics.

COME LET US REASON TOGETHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Toddah for sharing-I am praying that WE ALL come to the Perfect Understanding & are ALL ECHAD & on the Same Page!!!!!!!!
