    Default Jesus In Prophecy

    The Old Testament (the part of the Bible written before Jesus'
    birth) was completed in 450BC, hundreds of years before Jesus
    was born. The prophecies were made in astonishing detail by
    many people throughout these books.

    For instance, the Old Testament indicated Jesus would be
    betrayed by someone he trusted, "Even my close friend whom I
    trusted, he who has shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against
    me" (Psalm 41:9). The New Testament, which records Jesus' life
    and resurrection, reveals that one of the 12 people Jesus chose to
    be part of his inner circle betrayed him, "Then Judas Iscariot, one
    of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them"
    (Mark 14:19).

    More than 300 prophecies like this were made in the Old
    Testament and then fulfilled through Jesus' life, death and
    resurrection. The chances of one person fulfilling a mere 8 of these
    prophecies are 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000. For one person to
    fulfill 48 of these prophecies, the number becomes staggering--1
    chance in 10 to the 157th power (1 with 157 zeros after it). Add
    to that the 250 other prophecies and it becomes impossible for
    any other person except Jesus to ever fit that particular sequence
    of time and events.






    Descendent of Abraham

    Genesis 18:18 "Abraham will
    surely become a great and
    powerful nation, and all nations
    on earth will be blessed through
    him."
    Acts 3:25 "And you are heirs of
    the prophets and of the
    covenant God made with your
    fathers. He said to Abraham,
    'Through your offspring all
    peoples on earth will be
    blessed.'"



    Descendent of Isaac

    Genesis 17:19 "Then God said,
    'Yes, but your wife Sarah will
    bear you a son, and you will
    call him Isaac. I will establish
    my covenant with him as an
    everlasting covenant for his
    descendents after him.'"


    Matthew 1:2 "Abraham was the
    father of Isaac, Isaac the father
    of Jacob, Jacob the father of
    Judah and his brothers.



    Descendent of Jacob

    Numbers 24:17 "I see him, but
    not now; I behold him, but not
    near. A star will come out of
    Jacob; a scepter will rise out of
    Israel."
    Luke 3:34 "The son of Jacob,
    the son of Isaac, the son of
    Abraham, the son of Terah, the
    son of Nahor."



    Will descend from the tribe of Judah

    Genesis 49:10 "The scepter will
    not depart from Judah, nor the
    ruler's staff from between his
    feet, until he comes to whom it
    belongs and the obedience of
    the nations is his."
    Luke 3:33 "The son of
    Amminadab, the son of Ram,
    the son of Hezron, the son of
    Perez, the son of Judah."



    Place of birth to be Bethlehem

    Micah 5:2 "But you, Bethlehem
    Ephrathah, though you are small
    among the clans of Judah, out
    of you will come for me one
    who will be ruler over Israel,
    whose origins are from of old,
    from ancient times."
    Matthew 2:1 "After Jesus was
    born in Bethlehem in Judea,
    during the time of King
    Herod..."



    Will be born of a virgin

    Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord
    himself will give you a sign: the
    virgin will be with child and will
    give birth to a son, and will call
    him Immanuel."
    Matthew 1:18 "This is how the
    birth of Jesus Christ came
    about. His mother Mary was
    pledged to be married to
    Joseph, but before they came
    together, she was found to be
    with child through the Holy
    Spirit."



    Infants will be slaughtered

    Jeremiah 31:15 "This is what
    the Lord says: 'A voice is heard
    in Ramah, mourning and great
    weeping, Rachel weeping for
    her children and refusing to be
    comforted, because her
    children are no more.'"
    Matthew 2:16 "When Herod
    realized that he had been
    outwitted by the Magi, he was
    furious, and he gave orders to
    kill all the boys in Bethlehem
    and its vicinity who were two
    years old and under, in
    accordance with the time he
    had learned from the Magi."



    Will escape into Egypt as a child

    Hoseah 11:1 "When Israel was
    a child, I loved him, and out of
    Egypt I called my son."
    Matthew 2:14 "So he got up,
    took the child and his mother
    during the night and left for
    Egypt."



    Will minister in Galilee and along the Jordan River

    Isaiah 9:1-2 "Nevertheless,
    there will be no more gloom for
    those who were in distress. In
    the past he humbled the land of
    Zebulun and the land of
    Naphtali, but in the future he
    will honor Galilee of the
    Gentiles, by the way of the sea,
    along the Jordan--The people
    walking in darkness have seen a
    great light; on those living in the
    land of the shadow of death a
    light has dawned."
    Matthew 4:12-16
    "Jesus...returned to Galilee.
    Leaving Nazareth, he went and
    lived in Capernaum, which was
    by the lake in the area of
    Zebulun and Naphtali--to fulfill
    what was said through the
    prophet Isaiah: Land of Zebulun
    and land of Naphtali, the way
    to the sea, along the Jordan,
    Galilee of the Gentiles--The
    people living in darkness have
    seen a great light; on those
    living in the land of the shadow
    of death a light has dawned."



    He will be rejected by the Jewish people

    Isaiah 53:3 "He was despised
    and rejected by men, a man of
    sorrows, and familiar with
    suffering. Like one from whom
    men hide their faces he was
    despised, and we esteemed him
    not."
    John 1:11 "He came to that
    which was his own, but his own
    did not receive him."



    Character of wisdom and understanding

    Isaiah 11:2 "The Spirit of the
    Lord will rest on him--the Spirit
    of wisdom and of
    understanding, the Spirit of
    counsel and of power, the Spirit
    of knowledge and of the fear of
    the Lord."
    Luke 2:52 "And Jesus grew in
    wisdom and stature, and in
    favor with God and men."



    He will enter triumphantly into Jerusalem on a young
    donkey

    Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly,
    O Daughter of Zion! Shout,
    Daughter of Jerusalem! See,
    your king comes to you,
    righteous and having salvation,
    gentle and riding on a donkey,
    on a colt, the foal of a donkey."
    John 12:13-14 "They took
    palm branches and went out to
    meet him, shouting, 'Hosanna!'
    'Blessed is the King of Israel!'
    Jesus found a young donkey
    and sat upon it, as it is written."



    The time of his entry prophesied to the very day

    Daniel 9:25-26 "Know and
    understand this: From the
    issuing of the decree to restore
    and rebuild Jerusalem until the
    Annointed One, the ruler,
    comes, there will be seven
    'sevens' and sixty-two 'sevens.'
    It will be rebuilt with streets and
    a trench, but in times of trouble.
    After the sixty-two 'sevens' the
    Annointed One will be cut off
    and will have nothing."
    This prophesy refers to weeks
    of years, or 483 biblical years.
    Beginning with the exact day on
    which Persian King Artaxerxes
    gave the decree to rebuild the
    walls of Jerusalem (March 5,
    444 BC), exactly 173,880 days
    later--Palm Sunday, March 30,
    AD33--Christ rode into
    Jerusalem the week before he
    was 'cut off' (crucified). This is
    the precise number of days
    spanning 483 biblical years,
    which were then measured as
    12 months of 30 days each.



    Betrayed by a close friend

    Psalm 41:9 "Even my close
    friend, whom I trusted, he who
    shared my bread, has lifted up
    his heel against me."
    Mark 14:10 "Then Judas
    Iscariot, one of the Twelve,
    went to the chief priests to
    betray Jesus to them."



    He will be sold for thirty pieces of silver

    Zechariah 11:12 "I told them, 'If
    you think it best, give me my
    pay; but if not, keep it.' So they
    paid me thirty pieces of silver."
    Matthew 26:15 "And asked,
    'What are you willing to give me
    if I hand him over to you?' So
    they counted out for him thirty
    pieces of silver."



    Money returned and used to buy potter's field

    Zechariah 11:13 "And the Lord
    said to me, 'Throw it to the
    potter'--the handsome price at
    which they priced me! So I
    took the thirty pieces of silver
    and threw them into the house
    of the Lord to the potter."
    Matthew 27:6-7 "The chief
    priests picked up the coins and
    said, 'It is against the law to put
    this into the treasury, since it is
    blood money.' So they decided
    to use the money to buy the
    potter's field as a burial place
    for foreigners."



    Silent when accused during his trial

    Isaiah 53:7 "He was oppressed
    and afflicted, yet he did not
    open his mouth; he was led like
    a lamb to the slaughter, and as
    a sheep before her shearers is
    silent, so he did not open his
    mouth."
    Matthew 26:62-63 "Then the
    high priest stood up and said to
    Jesus, 'Are you not going to
    answer? What is this testimony
    that these men are bringing
    against you?' But Jesus
    remained silent. The high priest
    said to him, 'I charge you under
    oath by the living God: Tell us if
    you are the Christ, the Son of
    God.'"



    He will suffer for others

    Isaiah 53:4-5 "Surely he took
    up our infirmities and carried
    our sorrows, yet we considered
    him stricken by God, smitten by
    him, and afflicted. But he was
    pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our
    iniquities; the punishment that
    brought us peace was upon
    him, and by his wounds we are
    healed."
    Matthew 8:16-17 "When
    evening came, many who were
    demon-possessed were
    brought to him, and he drove
    out the spirits with a word and
    healed all the sick. This was to
    fulfill what was spoken through
    the prophet Isaiah: 'He took up
    our infirmities and carried our
    diseases.'"



    He will be crucified with sinners

    Isaiah 53:12 "Therefore I will
    give him a portion among the
    great, and he will divide the
    spoils with the strong, because
    he poured out his life unto
    death, and was numbered with
    the transgressors. For he bore
    the sin of many, and made
    intercession for the
    transgressors."
    Matthew 27:38 "Two robbers
    were crucified with him, one on
    his right and one on his left."



    His hands and feet will be pierced

    Psalm 22:16 "Dogs have
    surrounded me; a band of evil
    men has encircled me, they
    have pierced my hands and my
    feet."
    John 20:27 "Then he said to
    Thomas, 'Put your finger here;
    see my hands. Reach out your
    hand and put it into my side.
    Stop doubting and believe.'"



    Will be mocked and insulted by the people

    Psalm 22:6-8 "But I am a worm
    and not a man, scorned by men
    and despised by the peopple.
    All who see me mock me; they
    hurl insults, shaking their heads:
    'He trusts in the Lord; let the
    Lord rescue him. Let him
    deliver him, since he delights in
    him.'"
    Matthew 27:39-40 "Those who
    passed by hurled insults at him,
    shaking their heads and saying,
    'You who are going to destroy
    the temple and build it in three
    days, save yourself! Come
    down from the cross, if you are
    the Son of God!'"



    Will be given gall and vinegar to drink

    Psalm 69:21 "They put gall in
    my food and gave me vinegar
    for my thirst."
    John 19:29 "A jar of wine
    vinegar was there, so they
    soaked a sponge in it, put the
    sponge on a stalk of the hyssop
    plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips."



    His side will be pierced with a spear

    Zechariah 12:10 "And I will
    pour out on the house of David
    and the inhabitants of Jerusalem
    a spirit of grace and
    supplication. They will look on
    me, the one they have pierced,
    and they will mourn for him as
    one mourns for an only child,
    and grieve bitterly for him as
    one grieves for a firstborn son."
    John 19:34 "Instead, one of the
    soldiers pierced Jesus' side with
    a spear, bringing a sudden flow
    of blood and water."



    Soldiers will cast lots for his clothing

    Psalm 22:18 "They divide my
    garments among them and cast
    lots for my clothing."
    Mark 15:24 "And they crucified
    him. Dividing up his clothes,
    they cast lots to see what each
    would get."



    Not a bone of his body will be broken

    Psalm 34: 20 "He protects all
    his bones, not one of them will
    be broken."
    John 19:33 "But when they
    came to Jesus and found that he
    was already dead, they did not
    break his legs."



    Will be buried in a rich man's tomb

    Isaiah 53:9 "He was assigned a
    grave with the wicked, and with
    the rich in his death, though he
    had done no violence, nor was
    any deceit in his mouth."
    Matthew 27:57-60 "As evening
    approached, there came a rich
    man from Arimathea, named
    Joseph, who had himself
    become a disciple of Jesus.
    Going to Pilate, he asked for
    Jesus' body, and Pilate ordered
    that it be given to him. Joseph
    took the body, wrapped it in a
    clean linen cloth, and placed it
    in his own new tomb that he
    had cut out of the rock. He
    rolled a big stone in front of the
    entrance to the tomb and went
    away."



    He will be resurrected after his death

    Psalm 16:10 "Because you will
    not abandon me to the grave,
    nor will you let your Holy One
    see decay."
    Matthew 28:9 "Suddenly Jesus
    met them. 'Greetings,' he said.
    They came to him, clasped his
    feet and worshiped him."



    He will ascend into heaven

    Psalm 68:18 "When you
    ascended on high, you led
    captives in your train; you
    received gifts from men, even
    from the rebellious--that you, O
    Lord God, might dwell there."
    Luke 24:50-51 "When he had
    led them out to the vicinity of
    Bethany, he lifted up his hands
    and blessed them. While he
    was blessing them, he left them
    and was taken up into heaven."

    Why were you banned Garotte?

    In our discussions regarding laying on of hands, restoration of creation, overcoming in Christ, Biblical locality and partial rapture, you had not responded with why you disagree with these things specifically but quoted a bunch of Scripture but never applied it to your opinion.

    This is considered belligerent and vain, because it does not deal with the matter of why when you give no reason. Quoting Scripture is not a reason.

    A forum is for discussion to talk with people, not to avoid matters, but to grow in faith in the body life and resolve matters.
