PROPHECIES on JESUS (Isaiah)

 

Isaiah 9:2

King James Version

2 The people that walked in darkness 

have seen a great light: 

they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, 

upon them hath the light shined.


What are the prophecies on JESUS, the MESSIAH, from the OLD TESTAMENT?

Guided by the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, we laid the ground work, and I knew it was going to be a THREE-part series.

Let's start with what GOD told prophet Isaiah:

Isaiah 7:10-16

King James Version

10 Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, 

saying,

11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God

ask it either in the depth, 

or in the height above.

12 But Ahaz said, 

I will not ask, 

neither will I tempt the Lord.

13 And he said, 

Hear ye now, 

O house of David; 

Is it a small thing for you to weary men, 

but will ye weary my God also?

14 Therefore the Lord himself 

shall give you a sign; 

Behold, 

a virgin shall conceive, 

and bear a son, 

and shall call his name Immanuel.

15 Butter and honey shall he eat, 

that he may know to refuse the evil, 

and choose the good.

16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, 

and choose the good, 

the land that thou abhorrest 

shall be forsaken of both her kings.


Isaiah 8:13-14

King James Version

13 Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; 

and let him be your fear, 

and let him be your dread.

14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; 

but for a stone of stumbling 

and for a rock of offence 

to both the houses of Israel, 

for a gin and for a snare 

to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.


Isaiah 9:1-2

King James Version

9 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such 

as was in her vexation, 

when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun 

and the land of Naphtali, 

and afterward did more grievously afflict her 

by the way of the sea, 

beyond Jordan, 

in Galilee of the nations.

2 The people that walked in darkness 

have seen a great light: 

they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, 

upon them hath the light shined.


Isaiah 9:5-7

King James Version

5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, 

and garments rolled in blood; 

but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given:

 and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government 

and peace there shall be no end, 

upon the throne of David, 

and upon his kingdom, 

to order it, 

and to establish it with judgment 

and with justice 

from henceforth even for ever. 

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.


Isaiah 11:1-12

King James Version

11 And there shall come forth a rod 

out of the stem of Jesse, 

and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, 

the spirit of wisdom and understanding, 

the spirit of counsel and might, 

the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

3 And shall make him of quick understanding 

in the fear of the Lord: 

and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, 

neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, 

and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: 

and he shall smite the earth:

 with the rod of his mouth, 

and with the breath of his lips 

shall he slay the wicked.

5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, 

and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, 

and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; 

and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; 

and a little child shall lead them.

7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; 

their young ones shall lie down together: 

and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 And the sucking child 

shall play on the hole of the asp, 

and the weaned child 

shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: 

for the earth shall be full of the knowledge 

of the Lord, 

as the waters cover the sea.

10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, 

which shall stand for an ensign of the people; 

to it shall the Gentiles seek: 

and his rest shall be glorious.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, 

that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time 

to recover the remnant of his people, 

which shall be left, 

from Assyria, 

and from Egypt, 

and from Pathros, 

and from Cush, 

and from Elam, 

and from Shinar, 

and from Hamath, 

and from the islands of the sea.

12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, 

and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, 

and gather together the dispersed of Judah 

from the four corners of the earth.


Isaiah 11:16

King James Version

16 And there shall be an highway 

for the remnant of his people

which shall be left, 

from Assyria; 

like as it was to Israel in the day 

that he came up out of the land of Egypt.


Isaiah 28:15-16

King James Version

15 Because ye have said, 

We have made a covenant with death, 

and with hell are we at agreement; 

when the overflowing scourge shall pass through,

it shall not come unto us: 

for we have made lies our refuge, 

and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 

Behold, 

I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, 

a tried stone, 

a precious corner stone, 

a sure foundation: 

he that believeth shall not make haste.


Isaiah 53

King James Version

53 Who hath believed our report? 

and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, 

and as a root out of a dry ground: 

he hath no form nor comeliness; 

and when we shall see him, 

there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3 He is despised and rejected of men; 

a man of sorrows, 

and acquainted with grief: 

and we hid as it were our faces from him; 

he was despised, 

and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, 

and carried our sorrows: 

yet we did esteem him stricken, 

smitten of God, 

and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, 

he was bruised for our iniquities: 

the chastisement of our peace was upon him; 

and with his stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; 

we have turned every one to his own way; 

and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed, 

and he was afflicted, 

yet he opened not his mouth: 

he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, 

and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, 

so he openeth not his mouth.

8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: 

and who shall declare his generation? 

for he was cut off out of the land of the living: 

for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

9 And he made his grave with the wicked, 

and with the rich in his death; 

because he had done no violence, 

neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; 

he hath put him to grief: 

when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, 

he shall see his seed, 

he shall prolong his days, 

and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, 

and shall be satisfied: 

by his knowledge shall my righteous servant 

justify many; 

for he shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion 

with the great, 

and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; 

because he hath poured out his soul unto death: 

and he was numbered with the transgressors; 

and he bare the sin of many,

and made intercession for the transgressors.
