~ Messiah Would Come From
Zion ~
“Search
the Scriptures—they testify of Me.”
— Jesus Christ (John 5:39)
The Scripture
“‘The
Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in
Jacob,’ says the Lord” (Isaiah
59:20).
The Messiah
“And so all
Israel will be saved, as it is written:
‘The
Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; for this is My covenant with them,
when I take
away their sins’” (Romans 11:26-27).
The Future Complete Fulfillment
In
a future day many Israelites will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus
Christ. “And I will pour on the house of David and on
the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they
will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns
for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn” (Zechariah
12:10).
~~~ 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.
