Some Prophesies From The Prophet, Isaiah, and Their Fulfillment

Here is some scriptural proof from the bible book of Isaiah
that Jesus Christ is the Jewish Messiah (God the anointed One)

Written by Kraig Josiah Rice

It appears a fulfillment of this prophesy can be found in the Bible Books of John and Revelation

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying- I AM the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life
(John 8:12).

The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it
(Revelation 21:23-24).

Jesus Christ is the Messiah Redeemer

These scriptures are found in Isaiah-
For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of Armies is His name- and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel- He is called the God of the whole earth
(Isaiah 54:5).

Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him- He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench- He will bring forth justice for truth. He will not fail nor be discouraged, till He has established justice in the earth- and the coastlands shall wait for His law. Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it- I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand- I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles, to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness from the prison house. I AM the Lord, that is My name- and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images. Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare- before they spring forth I tell you of them. Sing to the Lord a new song, and His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you coastlands and you inhabitants of them!
(Isaiah 42:1-10).

It appears a fulfillment of this prophesy can be found in the Bible Book of John

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it
(John 1:5).

One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him- we have found the Messiah (that is translated, the Christ)
(John 1:40-41).

The woman said to Him- I know that Messiah is coming (who is called Christ). When He comes, He will tell us all things. Jesus said to her- I who speak to you AM He
(John 4:25-26).

It appears a fulfillment of this prophesy can be found in the Bible Book of Revelation

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying- I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last...
(Revelation 1:11).

And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me- Do not be afraid- I AM the First and the Last. I AM He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I AM alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death
(Revelation 1:17-18).

And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write- these things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life...
(Revelation 2:8).

And behold, I AM coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last
(Revelation 22:12-13).

The Messiah is Righteous     

It appears a fulfillment of this prophesy can be found in the Bible Bible Book of Matthew

...that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying- behold! My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased! I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will declare justice to the Gentiles
(Matthew 12:16).

With a little anger I hid My face from you for a moment- but with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you, says the Lord, your Redeemer. For this is like the waters of Noah to Me- for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has mercy on you
(Isaiah 54:8-10).

It appears a fulfillment of this prophesy can be found in the Bible Books of Hebrews, Luke, Romans, and Ephesians

God is Merciful- He Showed Mercy to Noah and Others-
By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is according to faith
(Hebrews 11:7; Genesis 6:13-22).

And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation (Luke 1:50).

For He says to Moses- I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion
(Romans 9:15).

Once you were dead, doomed forever because of your many sins. You used to live just like the rest of the world, full of sin, obeying Satan, the mighty prince of the power of the air. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passions and desires of our evil nature. We were born with an evil nature, and we were under God's anger just like everyone else. But God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so very much, that even while we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead
(Ephesians 2:1-5).

God is Kind
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law
(Galatians 5:22-23).

...that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus
(Ephesians 2:7).

Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled by others and became slaves to many wicked desires and evil pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy. We hated others, and they hated us. But then God our Savior showed us His kindness and love. He saved us, not because of the good things we did, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins and gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us because of what Jesus Christ our Savior did. He declared us not guilty because of His great kindness. And now we know that we will inherit eternal life
(Titus 3:3-7).

God the Holy Spirit Anointed the Messiah

It appears a fulfillment of this prophesy can be found in the Bible Book of Matthew

Then He (Jesus) said to the man- stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other. Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him. But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all. Yet He warned them not to make Him known, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying- Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased! I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will declare justice to the Gentiles
(Matthew 12:13-18).

Jesus Christ- the Spiritual Rock and Foundation Stone for Israel

Moses was to pray to the Lord (the Rock of Ages in symbolism) for blessing, not physically strike Him-
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying- take the rod- you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water- thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals. So Moses took the rod from before the Lord as He commanded him. And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock- and he said to them- hear now, you rebels- must we bring water for you out of this rock? Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod- and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank. Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron- because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them
(Numbers 20:7-12).

It appears a fulfillment of this prophesy can be found in the Bible Books of Matthew, Romans, Acts, First Corinthians, and First Peter. Please note that the spiritually negative stumbling stone is also the same spiritually positive cornerstone of faith.

For I would have you remember, brethren, how our forefathers were all of them sheltered by the cloud, and all got safely through the Red Sea. All were baptized in the cloud and in the sea to be followers of Moses. All ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink- for they long drank the water that flowed from the spiritual rock that went with them- and that rock was Christ
(I Corinthians 10:1-4).

As it is written- behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense- whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame
(Romans 9:33).

This is the stone that was rejected by you builders, that has become the chief cornerstone. Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved
(Acts 4:11-12).

Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture- behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame. Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious- but to those who are disobedient, the stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone- a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light- who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy
(1 Peter 2:4-10).

Many Jews now believe that Jesus Christ is their God, however, some do not- what about them? Jesus said to them- have you never read in the Scriptures- the stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes? Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. And whoever falls on this stone will be broken- but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder (Matthew 21:42-44) ...but we preach Christ crucified- to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:23-24). What does that mean? It simply means that some Jews denied the fact that Jesus Christ was their God and the fact that He was crucified as a sacrifice for their sins (Galatians 3:1). This was the spiritual stone over which they spiritually stumbled. As well, the Greeks (gentiles) could not handle the fact that Jesus Christ raised from the dead. This was foolishness to them.
