Isaiah and Christ

******Here are Some Mesianic passages In Isaiah which speaks of Christ: some of the passages In Isaiah are obviously Messianic about 1) Christ's 1st comming, while others 2) Christ's 2nd comming, and 3) Mixed with elements of both.******Some Mesianic Passages in Isaiah are Obviously Messianic on their own, if One were looking for the Messiah, while others are contained within other contexts, and only become Obviously so by the Human race, once fullfilled.******I have not categorized any of these samples, based on any of the above mentioned Criteria, but simply present them to You:****** Isaiah 48:15-16 "I, even I, have spoken; indeed I have called Him, I have brought Him, and He will make His ways successful. Come near to Me, listen to this: From the first I have not spoken in secret, from the time it took place, I was there. And now the Lord God has sent Me, and His Spirit."***** Isaiah 42:1-7 "Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My Chosen One in whom My Soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry out or raise His voice, nor make His voice heard in the street. A bruised reed He will not break, And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not be disheartened or crushed, Until He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law. Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk in it, I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, and I will appoint You as * The Covenant to the people, and as * The Light to the nations, To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the dungeon, and those who dwell in darkness from the prison" ( * the "Lamed," used to begin both phrases actualy has a wider range of usage than the "He," and both phrases normally translated "for a," I see as "For The," or "as The." And Lamed has clearly been used elsewhere in the O.T. with a meaning of "The," contained in it's Idogram or prefix "Phrases," usage .)***** Isaiah 40:1-5 "Comfort, O comfort My people, says Your God. Speak kindly to Jerusalem; and call out to her, that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been removed, that she has received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins. A voice is calling, Clear the way for the Lord in the wilderness; make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. Let every valley be lifted up, and every mountain and hill made low; and let the rough ground become a plain, and a rugged terrain a broad valley; Then the Glory of the Lord will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together, For the mouth of the Lord has spoken."***** Isaiah 52:13-15 "Behold My Servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up, and greatly exalted. Just as many were astonished at you, My people, so His appearance was marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men. Thus He will sprinkle many nations, Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him; for what had not been told them they will see, and what they had not heard they will understand."***** Isaiah 53:1-5 "Who has believed Our message? And to whom has the Arm of the Lord been revealed? For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, A Man of sorrows, and aquainted with grief; and like One from whom men hide their face, He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed."***** There are too many Beautiful Messianic passages in Isaiah to list here, but: *****He was stricken and beaten and scourged for Us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*****And He alone Saved us from all of our iniquity and Sin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*****Praise God our Father, and Glorious Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Amen.Mike
