Journey Through The Bible: Isaiah Part 2 - The Messianic propheciesResurrection Church
The Book of Isaiah contains some of the most detailed and revealing prophecies about Jesus. God reveals to Isaiah that the Messiah will come first as a servant who will die for the sins of the people and will come again to rule the world.
Isaiah lived 600 years before Jesus was born and all of the predictions about the first coming of the Messiah were fulfilled exactly by Jesus.

Jesus reads from Isaiah 61 proclaiming himself as the Messiah in the synagogue in Nazareth, fulfilling prophecies about bringing good news to the poor and oppressed, but the people reject him. Jesus then moves to Capernaum to teach, and heals a man with an unclean spirit, demonstrating his authority over demons. The people are amazed by Jesus' teachings and healings in Capernaum.
Jesus faced temptation from Satan during his 40 days in the wilderness after his baptism. Satan tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread when hungry, to jump from the temple to prove God's protection, and to worship Satan in exchange for ruling the world's kingdoms. Jesus overcame these temptations by quoting Scripture, showing that God's word would guide his ministry rather than selfish or presumptuous acts. His familiarity with Scripture helped him resist Satan's temptations at the beginning of his work.

D. He is worshiped as God
The centuries-old prophecies about Jesus and the amazing supernatural events that surrounded his birth and his life, death and resurrection all support his claim that indeed he is God, and not just some ordinary person with extraordinary abilities. This is a presentation of several prophecies among hundreds about Jesus, of supernatural events that surrounded his birth and his life, death and resurrection. The presentation ends with a question, "What are you doing with Jesus?" and gives the convinced viewer opportunity to seal his belief with a prayer of commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ.
1) The document discusses Isaiah 53, which prophesies the coming of Jesus as the suffering servant who would bear the sins of humanity.
2) It analyzes various verses from Isaiah 53 that describe Jesus' humble upbringing, rejection, suffering, and death on the cross in fulfillment of these prophecies.
3) The author argues that the chapter paints a clear picture of Jesus and his redemptive work, though some Jewish people did not accept that it referred to him.
The document provides an overview and analysis of Ezekiel 1. It begins by explaining the context around Ezekiel's vision, which took place while he was living in captivity by the River Chebar in Babylon. Ezekiel then sees a vision of God appearing as a whirlwind with fire and brightness coming from the north. Within this vision were four living creatures that had features of a man, lion, ox, and eagle. The living creatures are identified as cherubim. The document analyzes the symbolism and meaning behind various elements of Ezekiel's vision.
The document argues that Jesus cannot be considered God based on evidence from the Bible. It provides numerous examples showing that Jesus was born human, had a family, experienced human development and weaknesses like ignorance and temptation. The document aims to refute the idea that Jesus shared God's nature or was in every way like God, claiming the belief that Jesus is God is blasphemous.
The document provides commentary on Paul's words in Philippians 4:12-13 about learning to be content in any circumstance. It discusses how Paul had to endure much suffering but learned the secret of being content through Christ's strengthening. Paul could face anything because he had Christ. The commentary also examines how Paul's contentment was a gift from God, not a human achievement, and how believers can find contentment through depending on God's strength, not their own.
1) Moses is told by God that he will not enter the Promised Land due to his sin of striking the rock, and is instead shown the land from Mount Nebo before dying.
2) Moses asks God to appoint a new leader to guide the Israelites, and God chooses Joshua to succeed Moses.
3) Joshua is commissioned before the priest Eleazar and the congregation, with Moses laying hands on him and inaugurating him as the new leader, as God commanded.
The document discusses prophecies from Isaiah about God restoring the heavens and earth and creating a new Jerusalem without weeping or crying. It then discusses passages from the New Testament about how believers should live in light of these prophecies, looking forward to Christ's appearing and purifying themselves. The document also provides summaries about the characteristics and features of Christ's future millennial kingdom based on passages from Isaiah, Psalms, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation.
This document discusses how Jesus Christ is central to the Old Testament through various means:
1) Messianic prophecies that foretell Jesus' coming.
2) References to the "Angel of the Lord" who displays both physical and divine attributes, suggesting he is a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus.
3) The use of the Hebrew word "Son" to refer to the second person of the Trinity, showing Jesus' role throughout the Old Testament as God's representative.
The document discusses the Holy Trinity - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one God. It provides several examples from scripture of how each person of the Trinity is involved in creation, God's revelation to mankind, and salvation. Specifically, it notes their involvement in creation, the incarnation of Jesus, and their different but equal divine attributes like omnipresence and holiness.
The document discusses the oneness of God (Allah) from both Christian and Islamic perspectives. It provides quotes from the Bible and Quran emphasizing that God is one and has no partners. It also discusses the status of Jesus in Islam, stating that Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet but not divine. The document outlines the five pillars of Islam that form the basis of Islamic faith and worship.
Jesus Christ is the only way for humanity to be saved from their spiritually dead state resulting from the sin of Adam and Eve. Without accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, people feel empty inside despite worldly successes. The Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, but Jesus died for our sins so we can be forgiven and born again by accepting him. True salvation comes only through believing in Jesus, as he is the sole mediator between God and man.
This document provides an overview of prophets in biblical history and the establishment of schools of prophets. It discusses how God raised up prophets like Abraham and Moses to lead the nation of Israel. It describes how Samuel established schools of prophets during the monarchial period in Israel to provide divine guidance after they asked for a king. The purpose of the schools was to train young men as prophets and teachers to instruct people in God's ways and counter corruption. The document analyzes early prophetic cases and the evolution of the prophet's role over time.

- Jesus came to earth with the purpose of seeking and saving the lost, giving his life as a ransom for many to save people from their sins. He lived a perfect life and died on the cross to redeem humanity.
The document discusses the nature of the Godhead based on passages from the Bible. It asks and answers several questions about whether the Bible refers to God as one or three, and whether terms like Father, Son, and Holy Spirit refer to separate persons or roles. The document concludes that the mystery of the Godhead can be understood from passages indicating that fully God was manifested in the flesh in Jesus Christ, who revealed the Father and is the Alpha and Omega.

The document concludes that the mystery of the Godhead can be understood from passages indicating that fully God was manifested in the flesh in Jesus Christ, who revealed the Father and is the Alpha and Omega.
The document presents biblical passages that demonstrate Jesus is God. It shows Jesus possessing the same divine attributes and fulfills the same roles as God, such as being the creator, redeemer, healer, and forgiver of sins. The fullness of the Godhead exists in Jesus, and salvation comes only through faith in his name.
Jesus provides many statements throughout the gospels that directly or indirectly claim that he is God. He refers to himself as "I am" which is the name God gave to Moses. He accepts worship, forgives sins, and makes statements like "before Abraham was, I am" that imply his eternal existence and deity. While avoiding a direct public claim to be the Messiah to prevent a political uprising, Jesus' statements to his disciples and in private frequently point to his divine identity as the Son of God.

The document aims to show that Jesus is Yahweh God of the Bible based on biblical evidence.
The document examines evidence for who Jesus Christ claimed to be based on testimony from various sources. It discusses what people in Jesus' time said about him, including that he taught with authority and some believed him to be the Messiah. It also examines what Jesus himself claimed, including that he could forgive sins, was the Son of God and eternal. The document argues that either Jesus' claims were true, making him the Son of God, or he was a liar based on the eyewitness testimony and fulfilled prophecies about the Messiah.
The document discusses biblical passages that reference the oneness of God and the divinity of Jesus Christ. It provides verses from both the Old and New Testaments that indicate there is only one God, while also establishing Jesus as the Son of God and God incarnate. The document aims to reconcile the concept of one God with the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit through these scriptural references. It also examines prophecies about Jesus and his identity as the promised Messiah.

2) It asserts that Jesus Christ himself declared that he is the way, the truth, and the life, and is the same God worshipped by the Israelites.
3) The author concludes that Jesus of Nazareth is definitively the LORD God, as sealed by both the Father and prophesied events, and anyone who denies this is subjecting themselves to eternal death.
This document provides an overview of the teaching and person of Jesus according to the Christian worldview. It discusses key aspects of Jesus' life and ministry, including his audience, timeline, the gospels, his deity and humanity as the Messiah according to the Old Testament, his names and titles, and his mission of proclaiming the kingdom of God, revealing God, founding a global movement, and atoning for sins. The document utilizes multiple Bible verses to support its presentation of Jesus.
This document provides a summary of Watson Goodman's perspective on Scripture and salvation. Goodman believes the best commentary on Scripture is Scripture itself, as God's Word comes "from above" and can impart righteousness, joy and peace to believers. The document urges readers to surrender to Jesus as Savior and Lord if they have not already done so, in order to experience God's manifestation and fellowship, as Goodman did in 1937.
The document discusses the biblical basis for the Christian doctrine of the Trinity - that God exists as three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) who are distinct yet united as one God. It provides several biblical passages that reference the three persons of the Trinity and their distinct roles. The Genesis creation account refers to God in plural form, alluding to the Trinity. The Father created through the Son and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was baptized by the Holy Spirit, and believers are also baptized by the Spirit. The Spirit, Son, and Father are united in purpose yet distinct in their speaking and actions. Believers are to be led by the Spirit as Jesus and disciples were filled with the Spirit.
