Messiah Would Rise From Death, 5 ~
“Search
the Scriptures—they testify of Me.”
— Jesus Christ (John 5:39)
The Scripture
“The
voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right
hand of the Lord does valiantly.
The right hand of the Lord is
exalted; the right hand of the Lord does valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and
declare the works of the Lord. The
Lord has chastened me severely,
but He has not given Me over to death” (Psalm 118:15-18).
The Messiah
“But he said to them, ‘Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of
Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where
they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you
into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you’” (Mark 16:6-7).
~~~ EXPLANATORY
“MESSIAH” NOTES ~~~
(1)
Each Saturday ALN posts an example of a Hebrew
Scriptures prophecy (or foreshadowing) related to the coming Messiah which was
fulfilled in the birth, life, death, or resurrection of Jesus Christ.
(2)
While extensive it will not be a
complete list—there are hundreds of prophecies of the coming Messiah which have
been fulfilled by one man—Jesus Christ at His First Coming.
(3) It is important that there are many more prophecies
of the Messiah, yet unfulfilled, which Christians believe will be fulfilled at
the time of His Second Coming. A
particularly relevant Scripture verse in this regard is: “Do not despise
prophesies” (1 Thessalonians 5:20).
(4)
These posts will typically consist only
of Scripture—which speaks for itself. Sometimes
italicized or bold font will be used by ALN for emphasis.
(5)
The numbering of these fulfilled
prophecies of the Messiah is used to differentiate individual posts. It is not
chronological (either by time of the prophecy or by sequence in the life of the
Messiah). The posting sequence will, for
the most part, be in the order that the prophecies appear in Scripture.
(6)
Because of the chosen methodology (#5 above)
we will find many specific prophecies repeated multiple times throughout the
Scriptures.
(7) These serial posts are in addition to our
regular Tuesday ALN postings on random topics.
