Proclaiming The Truth. Are you ready?

6. Prophecy: The Messiah would be rejected by many:  Isaiah 52:13(OT) See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.  Just as there were many who were appalled at him—his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness…….                                                                                                                                                                      ------>  Additional OT verse: 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.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         \    {New Testament fulfillment} Matthew 13:54-57 says:  Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?  Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?  Aren’t all his sisters with us?  Where then did this man get all these things?  And they took offense at him.                                                                                                                                                                                      --->Additional NT verses:Matthew 21:15 But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple area, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant.      John 1:11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.  

 7. Prophecy: The Messiah would be preceeded by a messenger:   Malachi 3:1 (OT) “See I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way for me."  Then suddenly the Lord{Adonai} you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty{El Shaddai.}  

→Additional (OT) Isaiah 40:3-4 & 6-11 A voice of one calling:     ["In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD{Jehovah}; make straight in the desert a highway for our God."] Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain." And the glory of the LORD {Jehovah}will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the LORD{Jehovah} has spoken." ……………You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, "Here is your God!" See, the Sovereign LORD {Jehovah}comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: (40:11) the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young He gathers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            {New Testament fulfillment} (Matthew 3:1-2) says:
In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea, and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.  -> Additional—NT Luke 3:3-6 And he came into all the district around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins; as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, `Make ready the way of the Lord {Yeshua}, make His paths straight. `Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough roads smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.    

>>>>Related to Isaiah 40:11 from JOHN 10:7-11 Therefore Jesus{Yehsua} said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.  I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."<<<<
