However God tells Israel if they don 't listen to Him, they will be devoured by their enemies. God was revealing the need for Israel to rely upon Him. He was demonstrating that they need to depend on Him or be vanquished…
human can predict the future with complete accuracy but the Bible did do so time and time again. Even, one case with King Sennacherib's death but let us review some other prophecies that were spot on. Around the year 732 B.C., the prophet Isaiah foretold at Isaiah 44 and 45 that a man named Cyrus would conquer the mighty city of Babylon. Now this was a "fairy-tale" idea of itself. Babylon was a dynasty for a time, this would be a hard defeat. The prophecy goes on to say that Cyrus would dry up a…

Sandra “Kaitlyn” Stewart 1. Isaiah 53 God is communicating that as Christ was growing up He was the lowest of the lows. He was despised and rejected; God’s wrath fell down upon Him because of our sins. Although Christ was innocent, He was pierced for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. We are healed through His undeserving wounds. 2. God is teaching us that He was willing to punish His Son to heal us (verse 5.) He taught us that He is a powerful by laying the iniquity of us all…

Christ as depicted in the old and new testaments – Similarities, Differences and the changes in interpretations. Christ is predicted in the old-testament and his actual mission progression and accomplishments discussed in the new- testament.

“THE PHYSICAL PORTRAIT OF JESUS” The bible did not give us any physical description of Christ’s image. However, the closest descriptions we have of Him in comparison to his physical attributes is found in the book of Isaiah, chapter 53. Characteristically, the ancient Hebrews and Jewish race has dark brown or olive skin, with brown eyes, and dark brown or black hair. Jesus would have be like a normal North East African or a Middle-Easterner in his appearance. He would not look like the images…
he is also alluding to greater themes within Israel’s Scriptures. Throughout the Old Testament, there are many prophecies and references to the coming of a Messiah. Isaiah has several prophecies about Jesus. In Isaiah 53, he has “borne our griefs and carried our sorrows” (Isaiah 53.4). It is interesting to note that griefs…

Isaiah portrays the Messiah as very tender, and gentle, and loving. He is able to bring justice to those without screaming and freaking out. He foretold about Jesus’ character, obedience, and relationship with Father God. Isaiah 53:2 tells about Jesus’ appearance. We should not desire him for his appearance…
