~ Messiah Would Abide With
His People ~
“Search
the Scriptures—they testify of Me.”
— Jesus Christ (John 5:39)
The
Scripture
“And He shall stand and
feed His flock in the strength of the Lord,
in the
majesty of the name of the Lord
His God; and they shall abide, for now He shall be great
to the ends
of the earth” (Micah 5:4)
The Messiah
Jesus said, “That you may know and
believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him” (John
10:38b). He also said, “Do you not believe that I
am in the Father, and the Father in Me?
The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but
the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe
Me for the sake of the works themselves” (John 14:10-11).
~~~ 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.
(8) Subscription to ABUNDANT LIFE NOW blog is
