2 His Ministry Messiah would bring light to Galilee Messiah would speak in parables Messiah would be praised by little children Messiah would be called a Nazarene Messiah s Triumphal Entry Messiah would preach the gospel

3 Question: Could someone with a messiah complex fake the fulfillment of these prophecies?

5 and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great Light, Matthew 4:13-16

6 Jesus Miracles He turned the water into wine (John 2:1-11) He cast out demons (Luke 8:26-39) He raised Jairus daughter (Luke 8:40-56) He fed the multitudes (Matthew 14:13-21)

7 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world. Matthew 13:34-35

8 Isaiah 6:9-10 / Mark 4:12 so that WHILE SEEING, THEY MAY SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE, AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MAY HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT RETURN AND BE FORGIVEN.

Children Praise Jesus But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple, Hosanna to the Son of David, they became

9 Children Praise Jesus But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple, Hosanna to the Son of David, they became indignant and said to Him, Do You hear what these children are saying? And Jesus said to them, Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself?

10 Jesus of Nazareth Then after being warned by God in a dream, he left for the regions of Galilee, and came and lived in a city called Nazareth. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets: He shall be called a Nazarene. Matthew 2:22-23

11 Verbal Tradition New Testament Example: In Acts 20:35, Paul quoted Jesus as saying, It is better to give than receive. This Phrase is not recorded in the Gospels.

12 Nazareth Despised He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face. He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Is 53:3 But I am a worm and not a man, a reproach of men and despised by the people. Psalm 22:6

13 Nazarene Branch Jewish word netser means branch or shoot Hebrew was only written with consonants and netser would appear as NZR which are the main consonants in Nazarene.

14 Isaiah 11:1 Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

15 Jesus of Nazareth Born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2) Come out of Egypt (Hosea 11:1) From the tribe of Judah (Gen 49:10)

17 Triumphal Entry This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold your King is coming to you, gentle, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden. Matthew 21:4-5

18 Daniel s Prophecy (9:25-26) So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing

19 Jesus Time The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel. (Mark 1:15) My time is not yet here, but your time is always opportune (John 7:6) you did not recognize the time of your visitation. (Luke 19:44) My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples. (Matthew 26:18)

20 Preach the Gospel to the Poor And He opened the book and found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.

22 Favorable year of the Lord Year of Jubilee - This occurred every 50 years. (After Every 7 th Sabbath) No sowing or reaping was to be done. Land was returned to the original owners. Slaves were freed. Debts were cancelled. Everyone was given a fresh new beginning.

23 Jesus is our Jubilee We are to rely completely upon Him. We have been set free. We have been given new life. Our debt of sin has been cancelled.

For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

Matthew 5:17-18 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an
