~ Messiah’s Resting Place Would Be
Glorious ~
“Search
the Scriptures—they testify of Me.”
— Jesus Christ (John 5:39)
The Scripture
“And
in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a
banner to the people; for the Gentiles shall seek Him, and His resting place shall be glorious” (Isaiah 11:10).
The Messiah
“Now when evening had
come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also
become a disciple of Jesus. This man
went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to
him. When Joseph had taken the body, he
wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his new tomb which he had
hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb,
and departed” (Matthew 27:57-60).
“Through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand
of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him” (1 Peter 3:21b-22).
~~~ 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.
