Build -A- Teaching --> Prophecy of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament [for 8/4/12]

Isaiah 53:1-7

53 Who has believed our message?
To whom has the Lord revealed his powerful arm?
2 My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot,
like a root in dry ground.
There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance,
nothing to attract us to him.
3 He was despised and rejected—
a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.
We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.
He was despised, and we did not care.

4 Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;
it was our sorrows[a] that weighed him down.
And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
a punishment for his own sins!
5 But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.
6 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet the Lord laid on him
the sins of us all.

7 He was oppressed and treated harshly,
yet he never said a word.
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter.
And as a sheep is silent before the shearers,
he did not open his mouth.

this brought water to my eyes, and fire too (:

A prophecy too: [link to www.godlikeproductions.com]

v. 8-12
Unjustly condemned,
he was led away.
No one cared that he died without descendants,
that his life was cut short in midstream.
But he was struck down
for the rebellion of my people.
9 He had done no wrong
and had never deceived anyone.
But he was buried like a criminal;
he was put in a rich man’s grave.

10 But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him
and cause him grief.
Yet when his life is made an offering for sin,
he will have many descendants.
He will enjoy a long life,
and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands.
11 When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish,
he will be satisfied.
And because of his experience,
my righteous servant will make it possible
for many to be counted righteous,
for he will bear all their sins.
12 I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier,
because he exposed himself to death.
He was counted among the rebels.
He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.

Jesus fulfilled all the duties and requirements of the high priest and even the temple itself.

Got a reference on that?

This isn't a prophecy but I think it is really cool to see how Scripture mentions JESUS by saying 'us' at the VERY BEGINNING:

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth"

Genesis 1:27



JESUS was BEFORE all things:

'And he is before all things, and by him all things consist'

Colossians 1:17

Here's a pretty good link:

Thanks Grace. That has always been one of my favorites because the Jewish faith is monotheistic and yet the author of this text uses the word "us." Very fascinating!!!

Jesus is Lord!!!

Good Morning !!!

:coffeetime:

You'd better be using KJV

Scholars says it is one of the worst versions!

Why do you say that???

Quote me too. FAST!

Not necessarily my favorite per se, but powerful:

Malachi 4:5
See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.

Important prophecy.... thanks!!!

This is a really good and important one too, don't miss this article.

"Those who don't don't know will be taught" -- a lutheran nun said that to me when I was 5. I've not been able to find it anywhere. But I asked her about it and about lying to say I believed because people wanted me too. She may have been thinking of 2 Thess 2 "for they loved not the truth they could not be saved".

BTW I wish you well with your minustry project. I started one myself a few days ago, "Untangled The Essence Of Truth".
