Isaiah prophesizes Jesus

Transcription

1 Isaiah prophesizes Jesus Main Scriptures: Isaiah 7:14, 9:1~7, 40:1~11, 52:13~53:12 The Prophet Isaiah lived about 2,700 years back. Isaiah received the Word from God and spoke to the people. Isaiah warned Israelites that they would be taken captives by Babylonians because they didn't obey* God. But then, he also prophesied that in time God would forgive them and bring them back to their land.

2 Isaiah prophesied the birth of Jesus. Behold, the virgin shall conceive* and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. 'Immanuel' means 'God with us.' It foretells of God being born as man, which is Jesus. Isaiah also prophesied that Jesus Christ would die for our sins. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. 700 years after Isaiah's prophecy*, Jesus came into the world and saved us from our sins. * Obey: to do what one is told to do by someone * Conceive: to get pregnant * Prophecy: A prediction of the future, made under divine inspiration.

3 Let's look up some Scriptures about Isaiah's prophecy of Jesus and the scriptures of prophecy that were fulfilled by Jesus. 700 years before Jesus came Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name (Isaiah 7:14) He was wounded for our transgressions, He was Bruised for our iniquities (Isaiah 53:5) He took our away, and died. Therefore He will not remember our. (Isaiah 43:25) 700 years after Jesus came The virgin (Matthew 1:21-25) gave birth to Jesus. Jesus put on a crown of and was scourged. His wrists and feet were and His side was pierced with. (Isaiah 19:2,34) Jesus came into this world, was crucified, and forgave our sins according to the Scriptures. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.(1Corinthians 15:3-4)

4 To the people of Israel, Isaiah proclaimed of Jesus who is to come. We know of Jesus who had already come. Let's proclaim Jesus to those around us who do not know Jesus yet. Cry aloud, spare not. (Isaiah 58:1)

6 Luke 15:11-24 Jesus said. A certain man had two sons. One day, the younger son said to his father, 'Father, do not wait until you pass away but give me the portion of goods that falls to me.

7 So the father divided to two sons his possessions.

8 A few days after, the younger son gathered all the goods together and journeyed to a far country.

9 And there, he wasted his possessions with prodigal living.

10 When he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land and he began to starve. He went and joined himself to a farmer, pleading to allow him to feed swine. Starving to death, he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.

11 Suddenly, he came to himself and said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare while I die with hunger. I will arise and go to my father and say to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.'

12 And he arose and came to his father.

13 Although he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had love and compassion. And the father ran and kissed him. Then the son said to him, '

14 Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

15 But the father said to his servant, 'Bring out the best cloth and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. Bring the fatted calf here and kill it. Let us eat and rejoice. For this my son was dead and is alive again.' And the feast began.

17 3...?? Honey, who did bring these flowers? Are they beautiful? Don't cry, honey. Do you remember the saying our daughter told us the day before her death? Yes, my kid really liked the daisies How can I forget about it? What did the girl tell her parents?

18 3 Two days later!!! It was you who decorated the tomb of Rilian with daisies. Rilian suffered from severe cold for several days and died. Ah.. Poor Rilian Yes

19 3 Ma'am, wasn't Rilian scared the day before death? Really? I might be scared so much Rilian didn't know to be buried in a dark tomb? Rilian didn't fear to die. Dot, listen to me. Mom, say to sisters that I won't be in a deep and dark tomb but I will be above the clouds in the sky.... Dot, I hope you meet my daughter above the sky....

20 3 Grandpa, the mom of the dead girl said the girl is not in the tomb. Somewhere over the sky Then, where is she? Ah, kingdom of heaven? Yes, she is probably in the kingdom of heaven. How could the girl enter the kingdom of heave? I have no idea but a righteous man goes to the kingdom of heaven. Then how about you? I hope I could If I were a bird, can I search for the girl in the sky?

21 3 Are you Dot? Mom told me you can help us. Now we are going to the tomb of Rilian to spread seeds. Where can we get water? Will Rilian like it? If she can see, probably she would like it. So many beautiful flowers are in there.

22 3 Then, is it sure Rilian is in the heaven? Yes, how couldn't you know that? I saw that the grandpa, Solomon buried the girl in the ground. And Rilian didn't come out of the coffin. It is because she didn't enter the coffin. Then Rilian is not in the coffin? Her body is here but her spirit is in the heaven. You cannot see it now. I can't understand what you are saying. In the kingdom of heaven, you can see spirits. This is your body and your spirit is somewhere in your body. If I could see my spirit. Kingdom of heaven?

23 3 Grandpa Do you also have a spirit? Of course, all men have spirits. Then, only the body is buried in the ground? I am so happy and it seems I have no special problem, isn't it? I hope your spirit also could enter the kingdom of heaven. Thanks. The kingdom of heaven is a nice place to live. Will you also dig tombs in the kingdom of heaven? Of course not. There is no tomb in the kingdom of heaven. No death, no sorrow, no tear Probably I will sing songs. Such as praises How nice the kingdom of heaven is! Then, what will you do in there?

24 3 Rilian Stanley who was six years old died here. What is the young lamb? Is that all? No, beneath the sentence, there is another passage saying "She had the redemption through the blood of young lamb." Well, I have no idea.
