Fulfilled Prophecy: Evidence for the Bible pt7 - Isaiah 53
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- 700 years before Christ His life, death and resurrection were written about in detail.
This passage of Isaiah, called by some "the heart of the Bible", is a profound demonstration of the truthfulness of Jesus the Messiah and a verification of the Bible as God's word.

Some ppl binge Netflix, I binge Mike Winger. 😂🤣 Thanks for the quality content, Mike!
Me too, I learn so much! He is such a great teacher. May the Lord give him a looooooooong teaching ministry
Straight up legend!
Me too!

Me too :)
Watching in 2023, this series rocks! Helping me a whole lot in evangelism. Thank you Pastor Mike may God bless you.
What is your success/fail rate at getting converts?
@@VaughanMcCue Hard to answer your question, it depends on the person and his background/beliefs. It really differs, sometimes i witness to atheists and sometimes to muslims or ignorant christians which don't believe that the Bible is the word of God.
You may not see this message, but I want to thank you for all of these videos. As a young servant of Christ called to defend and strengthen the Church, I have renewed strength for this mission because of you. May God bless your life and family. Please continue to bless us with your many sermons.
When you explained "Sprinkle many nations" my entire brain just. Stopped. In a good way. My brain has been going 100 miles a minute with questions for days, and that explanation was enough to calm those thoughts. Thank you for doing this.
No joke brother: blind people will automatically put up their defenses, choosing only to reject, and regurgitate what their elders say, instead of actually listening and thinking for themselves. I pray for so many that just attack what you say instead of using logic, and actually reasoning out the truth. May God soften their hearts and open their eyes that they find the truth and are saved before destruction.
but he doesn't believe in blind people.. he said everyone can see Jesus.. thats the problem with this guy.. thats insane statement.. he said we make or create our own faith in Jesus.. if thats not insane i dont know what is.. he doesn't believe that faith is a gift of God
The carbon dating of the Isaiah scroll from the Dead Sea scrolls puts it in a range from about 350 BC to about 100 BC. Therefore, despite the controversy surrounding the multiple authorship of the Book of Isaiah, the prophecy concerning the Messiah was still written long before Jesus Christ was born, so its a true prophecy. One nice explanation for the multiple authorship is that it was Isaiah's disciples who were writing for him, writing what he would say and prophesy, hence the differences that are evident between different chapters in the book.
Thank you so much for posting your videos! They have been such a blessing to me as a new Christian in search of truth. These have truly been an answer to prayers. Thank you!!!
+Aprel Dionne Awesome! Thanks for letting me know! God bless and guide you.
Aprel is right, Mike! You do a great job explaining the Christian faith in an intelligent, reasoned, and charismatic manner. You're great to watch! :)
Aprel indeed God has blessed you if it is to Mike where He led you. As a someone who studied the bible at length _and then_ went into the world of YT to find good expositors, I can fully agree that Mike is a blessing of a good teacher... but _only_ because his explanations are grounded in the full counsel of the scriptures. There are plenty of witty, engaging teachers out there who make sense, cite scripture, break things down clearly and simply, but will lead you directly to hell... beware, itching ears are endemic with new Christians. Study your scriptures alone with God. Test the things any preacher teaches according to the full deposit of the faith and your own study. If then and only then you find the teacher is consistent with what The Lord has shown you in your study of His word, then applaud that teacher... in this case, I agree, your applause of Mike Winger is warranted. Praise be to God for everything in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Coincidentally, this video is 53 minutes long!
I love these videos
Yes, Isaiah chapter 53 written 700 years before Jesus's birth is proof of God's existence no matter how unbelievers try ( unsuccessfully) to deny the truth.
Glory to God.
Isaiah 53 is also an excellent passage to show Mormons the difference between their polytheistic god and the one true Biblical God of Abraham, Jacob & Isaac.
@Martin ramsbottom.....I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed the parallels between Islam and Mormonism. God bless brethren
@J Mireles.....Blind learning the blind if ya ask me. Thank you
@J Mireles......I hope they both open their eyes before it is to late....or it may be to late already.
who is the mormon god anyway
@@keishatanoe1067 Just a false god made up by JS junior. Their god was "once a man".
Jesus is Lord God ✝️
Thank you for sharing. God bless you ❤️✊🙏
Thank you. I was very struck by 53:5.. really hit home for me thank you.
I refer to Isaiah 53 (specifically verses 52:12 - 53:13) as The Gospel According to Isaiah. It’s an amazing summary of the gospel message written 7 centuries before Christ’s birth.
this series is great I've been searching for something like this for years. A great blessing. Love your Christ like attitude as well, a joy to listen to. After this i will explore and recommend many more of your series. your brother in Christ Stefan (australia)
This was awesome! To those that ask for evidence of Jesus as Savior, send them this video.
PRAISE GOD and thank you for your work!
When you point out the present and future tenses throughout the prophecy, that particular point is well elaborated upon and explained with beautiful and exhilarating insight by Pastor MacArthur.
Wow, thank you for bringing this to my/our attention with clarity. We can be in no confusion about who Jesus is.

If you search for 'Yacov Rambsel' on youtube you will find several interviews with him.
There is also a website called 'beholdthestone' which has amazing new ESL codes.
Wow this seems very interesting
The Holy Spirit comes upon you when you cry out to the Lord Jesus with a broken and contrite repentent heart
Everybody needs the baptism of the Holy Ghost, see Acts 2:38.
Z d
Amen!! It happened to me!!
I presume that you are an evangelical christian and you believe in the doctrine of the trinity and vicarious atonement but not doing good works then you also believe as long as a man who rapes and murders your daughter and then repents and later on sin the same sin or a man rapes and murders your sister and then repents and later on sin the same sin or a man rape and murders your mother and then repents and later on sin the same sin or rapes and murders your wife and then repents and later on sin the same sin and evangelical christian still believes in the doctrine of the trinity and also believes that Jesus Christ died on the cross for his sins that he will be forgiven and will go to heaven and despite continuing to rape and murder innocent people but will still go to heaven as he still believe in the doctrine of the trinity and also as long as he still believes that Jesus died on the cross because you believe that this man is your evangelical christian brethren who you will embrace him but you also believe that good works are just like dirty rags according to your apostle Paul as your apostle Paul also said that faith alone believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins they you are forgiven and will go to heaven is your only salvation.
According to christian evangelical theology, good works are the consequence of salvation and not its justification. They are the sign of a sincere and grateful faith. They include actions for the Great Commission, that is, Christian evangelism, service in the Church and charity. So Good works is a consequence but not a necessity for christian evangelical salvation. That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. ~Romans 10:9-10 You cannot be saved by your good works, because no matter how hard you try, your “good” is not good enough for the perfectly holy and completely righteous God who alone grants salvation. Nor can you be saved by your moral perfection-no matter how moral or how perfect you are. As the Old Testament prophet Isaiah points out, your righteousness is about as good as a “snot rag”. (Isaiah 64:6 ). I have actually cleaned that up a bit, because the Hebrew phrase for filthy rags, ukabeged ehdim, literally means, “like as rags of menstruation.”
Sorry if that disgusts you, but it’s Scripture-so blame Isaiah. The point is, both our acts of righteousness, and the quality of righteousness that we hope they produce, are disgusting to God. So if you are disgusted by Isaiah’s language, think of how God, who inspired Isaiah to choose those coarse words, is repulsed by our efforts to get him to save us. So what hope, then, is there for our salvation? Well, frankly, no hope resides within us. None whatsoever. Ephesians 2:1 says “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins.” That’s how hopeless we are apart from God’s work to save us. You see, all a dead person can do is lay there and be dead, let alone try to be righteous before God.
I was going through a rough time in 1984. On my way home from work on March 20, 1984 I had this beam of light on the hood of my car. I looked up and saw the Arm of God coming out of the clouds from this beam of light. Fast forward about 10 months later my life was better and I was praying...Lord you have done so much for me. I never want to forget your gift of seeing your Arm and take you for granted. At that moment a voice said to me Isaiah 53:1. I had no idea that was there. ❤
Thank you so much pastor Mike so blessed by your teaching Pastor!
Praising God for these videos. Even though I knew many of these already because I was that fact finder wanting evidence, i forgot them. Some reason Ive been in a spiritual low, unbeliving, faith lost, desperetly trying to grip onto Jesus and failing miserably and some how this has begun to soldify in my heart all these things once again and helped my unbelief and faithlessness.
I like how the video is 53 minutes long when going over Isaiah 53 😱
I love how excited Pastor Mike sounds. When I realized the significance of this study I had 2 mental images run through my head. First of me bowing in worship. Then of me bouncing up and down at the awesomeness of this passage - and I'm the stoic girl at the Pentecostal church uncomfortably watching the old lady running circles around the pews. No judging. ;-)
The expansion on this, word by word took my knowledge to a WAAAY higher level! I'm sitting here just stunned! WOW!
The bible codes in Isaiah 53 brought me back from deism.
What do you mean?
Gosh I just found this channel….this was my first teaching!!! Can’t wait to dive deeper!!!!! So blessed by this!!!! Thank you!!
I've heard so many of your videos which have helped so much and I just realized I've never taken time to thank you. You are a blessing.
Thank God for Brother Mike! God bless.
Hi Mike! I've been wanting to add English and Chinese subtitles to this video. I saw that you already allow for community subtitles, so you're probably for that, but could you turn on the "auto-generated" English subtitles for this video--and maybe all your videos!? (I thought that I had to download your video to do this, but I just realized that I don't have to do that!)
If you turn that on, then it makes the whole process MUCH quicker! If possible, please do it ASAP so I can share with friends this weekend! Thanks so much for all of your hard work in teaching!
In Isaiah; the suffering servant is Israel. For the context; u can look into the previous chapters
I really appreciate your content and approach, Mike. It's easy to see how inspired you are by the Messianic prophecies. Thanks for sharing!
July 2, 2024 . Excellent series! Your intellect reminds me of RC Sproul. One thing: on the ‘past tense’ of this passage; figure out why I call Isaiah 53 ‘’the song of the remnant’’ and you’ll have it completely figured out. You were all over it with that Zechariah 12 passage. Get these figured out and you’ll enjoy being able to talk about a whole lot more prophesy! Blessings!
Very Good teaching Holy Messiah yeshua Jesus Bless You Greatly
This is amazing, thanks Mike!

I love this, I was taking notes with the other pts. but with this video I could only listen. Fantastic and thank you.
I come from a church where anything other than the kjv is considered blasphemous and anyone with a DOD is just a son of perdition (not my personal views just the way I was brought up) that being said it is so refreshing to hear someone speak who is both educated by man and seems to have an organic God given grasp on the holy scriptures so far after 4 or 5 videos I haven't heard anything I disagree with. I really appreciate you're work
While your church is hung up on issues that don't matter the world is still going around
Targum Jonathan, a translation originating in Jerusalem from the middle ages, attributes a messianic character to Isaiah 53
The Talmud never attributes Isaiah 53 to the People of Israel as a nation
Sanhedrin tractate 98 and Sotah tractate 14, attribute Isaiah 53 to the Messiah
Midrash Rabbah 5:1, Midrash Tanhuma and Midrash Konen, attributes Isaiah 53 to the Messiah
Yalkut Shimoni 4 attributes Isaiah 53 to the Messiah
The Jewish Prayer Book for the Day of Atonement attributes Isaiah 53 to the Messiah
The Zohar, about Jewish Mysticism, attributes Isaiah 53 to the Messiah
Rabbi Saadia Gaon (AD 882-942), who confronted Christians in debates did not attribute Isaiah 53, in his interpretation, to the People of Israel as a nation, but to a single person
What a scholar you are sir, every service is an actual lesson. Thank you.
God bless you. Thank you very much.
I loved this video, thanks Mike! I think you're doing a great job studying prophecy.
In which video do you go into details about how the new testament writers didn't make it up to fulfill the prophecy? Could you point me to the video to watch please?
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌏✝️ Thank God I will always honor my marriage and family. Kim Walker. Matthew 1:18-24
Thank you and God bless you Mike.
brilliant video!
Is it a coincidence that the video is 53 minutes long? :)
"This is the theology of the New Testament!"
Is it possible that the authors of the New Testament were influenced by this passage when writing their theology?
You're implying that they are lying.
@@troyhare6312 no im not. Why would that be the only other option?
That was the point, Jesus was the messiah that those prophecies spoke of. Because He literally fulfilled all of it, except the things for His second coming, those haven't happened yet, as we as the things just before the second coming.
@@TheSlaveofJesusChrist not exactly the point. It's that it wouldnt be surprising, without divine prophecy, for old testament theology to be used when coming up with new testament theology. No prophecy required.
@@Greyz174 the difference is that we know it actually happened, we have historical evidence, what happened on the cross is a fact, meaning that the events that were foretold had been a prophecy made by divine intervention.
It's because It's actually true and has been completely proven historically. That's the problem that people face when they try and say that it wasn't divine intervention. This is why no one uses the argument that they only based it on the old testament scriptures, it's why they have to say it was either translated incorrectly, or it was added in, because they know for a fact it happened.
They reject the possibility of the crucifixion despite the evidence for otherwise, because no matter what happens, they can't say it happened. They have to stay in line with their worldview, and in their worldview, that doesn't happen, because if it did, then they must repent of their sins because they are responsible to the LORD.
For a more complete and thorough teaching on Isaiah 53 refer to John MacArthur's teaching.
This is so good. Thank you Mike
Chapter 53 in Isaiah talks about the Jewish people, is what is easily understood by reading chapter 52, he talks about the servant of God, and throughout the book of Isaiah who is called the servant of God is the Jewish people, just read.
It is correct to read the book as a whole, it is not correct to read an isolated chapter, not least because in the original there are no divisions by chapter, in the original, chapters 52 and 53 are read together.
the division of the bible into chapters was made in the 13th century by Stephen Langton (Cardinal of the Catholic Church and Archbishop of Canterbury), the original texts have no division by chapter, so Isaiah 52 and 53 have always been read together, only after the 13th century did the church put this division into chapters, they don't want to read the whole text, they want you to read what they say.
To me Isaiah 53 has to be Jesus because if you read it as Israel then you have to believe that it was made as an offering for sin, which does not make sense
If the people of Israel was the Servant of the Lord here, who would be “my people”?

Very helpful! Thank you and God bless you!
Brother, listen to John Macarthur’s series on this. Coupled with your own, I am well equipped, and I believe you would appreciate and gain from his wisdom in it. You’re a blessing to me and my walk. Thank you.
Show me in the old testament where God says, I will send my son to die for the sins of the world I can't find it.
That would be a sewer-side mission. Send himself to bump himself off and blame Judy S. Carrot and the unconscious pilot, or some names like that.

Thanks Pastor Mike
Mike, As someone who grew up in the church and had a rigorous commitment to staying consistent, I came to realize that it doesn't matter what modern rabbis say or what ancient ones do concerning biblical passages, but in fact only that context is key and that there is absolutely no reason to apply a futuristic Christian prophecy to Isaiah since the suffering servant as the remnant of Israel in captivity already makes sense within the broader context of Isaiah.
+Joshua Daniel I agree that context is key. How do you reconcile the contextual indications that the suffering servant can't be Israel? Specifically that the text constantly juxtaposes who "He" is with how Israel has behaved. "He is wounded for our transgressions". Look at this verse in particular and see if it can be reconciled with the view that the suffering servant is Israel.
“He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.”
If "he" was stricken for the transgression of Isaiah's people then "he" can't be Isaiah's people.
Mike, I'm not sure if I'll have enough typing space to show all of the supporting verses, but I hope that you will indulge the broad overview of my argument for a moment.
The suffering servant is not all of Israel but those that were "cut off' from the people. Just that remnant of the Babylonian captivity (the portion of Israel that was exiled). This makes more sense in the broader theme of Isaiah as well as would make sense to the initial readers. Also, missed by most Christians, let me draw your attention to the tense of the verses. They are in the past. For Isaiah it has already taken place. Prophetic future language is absent in this set of verses. There are no "he will be" types of language here.
Here is one of many major proof texts that I think will help shed light on the context.
Isaiah 48:20 - "Leave Babylon, flee from the Babylonians! Announce this with shouts of joy and proclaim it. Send it out to the ends of the earth; say, "The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob (Israel)."
Notice Babylon and The servant Israel - So it is my contention that both applying this to Jesus by the Christian community, and, or a Jew using this as a portent to some future messiah strains Isaiah 53 out of it poetic context.
It is my hope that you will try to read this set of verses again in light of this interpretation. I look forward to discussing Biblical and theological issues with you more. Thank you for the opportunity.
I appreciate the time you are taking with this and I want to offer a thoughtful reply. I'm swamped at the moment but I intend to get back with you and continue this conversation as time allows. Please be patient with me as, in total honesty, my schedule is just full and I'd like to devote an hour or so of time to gathering quotes in context and giving a reasonable case for how I don't think we can view this suffering servant as the deported portion of Israel. Thank you!
Mike, I believe that you will be confronted by something you'll have to wrestle with a bit after you do some exhaustive research on this issue. You'll undoubtedly find commentaries by Christian scholars, and Jewish ones for that matter, that will agree that the original and first meaning of Isaiah 53 is indeed as I have already argued. It was after the fact that it gained a secondary interpretation as a Messianic figure for Israel. I'm sure I don't have to spell out for you why and how that could potentially be problematic for Christians, but I will offer some aspects of the dilemma after I get your response. Just know that part of my goal in this is to deeply educate believers about issues that their Christian community has not apprised them of. Most of the critiques and apologetic responses out there are just talking points. I assure you that a comprehensive look at the real issues will ultimately challenge the way you look at your faith. More on all that later.
As an aside, As a fellow musician, I really enjoyed listening to your original praise music.
Thanks for your patience, I have far too many good conversations and not enough time to pursue them all. This is a bit of a difficult issue to try and handle in a YT comment section but I’m going to try and address the most important parts here. I’ll number them for easy reference.
1- The term “cut off” can mean a couple different things but the term “cut off from the land of the living” can only mean actual physical death. This is one reason why it can’t refer to the remnant of Israel in Babylon. They were not killed (or none would have been around to return afterward). I’ll quote the verse in question here…
Isaiah 53:8 “He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.”
This shows a significant problem with your interpretation of the remnant as those who were “’cut off’ from the people”. Notice that you didn’t quote it correctly. The suffering servant in Isaiah 52-53 is NOT said to be “cut off from the people” but “cut off from the land of the living. This alone disqualifies your interpretation. See Isaiah 38:11 for confirmation that the “land of the living” is certainly not some reference to the land of Israel or do a word search in the Bible for “land of the living” to see that it means exactly what it sounds like.
2- The suffering servant of Isaiah 52-53 is an individual, not a group of people. This is clear in the context of the passage. Now, you may say “but isn’t Israel spoken of as an individual at times” and the answer is yes. But that doesn’t meant THIS passage can be taken to mean Israel for the following reasons.
a. Israel is identified in the passage already and is contrasted with the servant
b. Israel is spoken of in this very passage as a group of people, over and over again, and is not referenced as an individual in any obvious way. The use of consistent group and plural terms for Israel vs the singular terms for the servant indicate a person is in view.
c. The term for the individual “My servant” is not a term used of Israel exclusively. It is used, in Isaiah, of Isaiah, Eliakim, Israel and an unknown character. When it is used of Israel the text very consistently adds qualifiers to make it clear that it is Israel. Perform a word search on “My servant” to see this consistently.
d. Since you brought up interpretations by others I will respond that the earliest and most authoritative Jewish interpretations agree that this passage is speaking of an individual and not a group. It is only in the last 1,000 years, as a response to Christianity, that general Jewish opinion has shifted on this.
3- Isaiah’s suffering servant is one who is wrongly suffering on behalf of the sins of others. This is not the case with those who are in captivity. They are carried away for their own sins as an act of judgment, not because they are innocently being carried away for other guilty Israelites. If you try and think this through it becomes even more impossible. If the remnant in Babylon are suffering for those who were not carried away then there is a problem. The ones who were not carried away were killed, not saved! This is hardly “chastisement for our peace” when the one chastened is carried away for their own sin and the one who is supposed to get peace is instead slain in judgment.
4- Isaiah doesn’t separate the people of Israel into the two categories you need to make your case. You need their to be a guilty group of Israelites who are helped by the an innocent group (“My Righteous Servant”) who suffers for what the first group did. Isaiah doesn’t give these two groups to us as a starting point. Instead he groups all of Israel (those slain and those in captivity) into one broad category of “all we like sheep have gone astray”
5- The method of this Servant’s impact is sacrificial death that results in a “sprinkling” of many nations (52:15). Israel has never qualified for such. In fact, Isaiah speaks quite negatively and universally of the guilt of the people.
6- If the servant is to be merely a portion of Israel then the “we” must also be only a portion of Israel but there are no such qualifiers in the text. The passage is obviously a national “we” and a singular “he” contrasted. I just don’t see how you can justify a different interpretation without mangling the meaning of the text. Joshua, you seem really convinced that if I were to just think these things though I would see the folly of my faith. But so far you have not offered a good reason to doubt my understanding of the passage. I don’t have time to continue down broad paths of conversation in my comments section so I will leave the ball in your court with two thoughts.Isn’t it true that “if” Isaiah is talking about a messianic figure then Jesus seems to have fulfilled it?If you want to rebut me can you offer a truly focused and significant point which genuinely undermines this prophecy? I ask for one point because several are too hard to follow in comments and because I want it to be a point which you are personally committed to rather than a “gotcha” which you won’t care about if it’s proven wrong. Sincerely,
Mike
Powerful message Brother Mike. Keep up the good word man.
Christianity is so much deeper than just being another religion, why won't people see it...
Luke 23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? Mike, besides 70AD, what do you think Jesus meant by "The Dry (Tree)"? I think that "Day" is coming soon.
thankyou for such a great video ,critics will also find a reason to dismiss what is so obvious ,great work god bless

Excellent video, thanks Mike.
My NET full notes Bible does not translate “yazzeh” or “nazah” as “sprinkle”. They interpret the word as “startle” although the meaning is the same: cleansing.
Such a fantastic valuable episode.
A MAN of sorrows doesn't sound like a nation - but apparently the I.Q level of the huge Jewish community here in North London England isn't high enough to realize that;-)
bud ekins, your insult of the Jewish community is only exceeded by the foolishness of your comment. The verse never even says a man of sorrows. It says a man of pains. & yes, a man is referred to as a nation Jacob is a man. Israel is a man. Yet both are the nation.
Lisa
It didn't seem that way to me. May I ask why you think this.
Excellent and moving.
Praise Jesus our Saviour.
Why do Jewish people still not see Jesus is messiah when He is talked about in the old testament and there is evidence he resurrected from the dead?
PROPHECIES ABOUT A SUFFERING AND REJECTED MESSIAH WERE PREDICTED.
Isaiah 53 (3)"He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not."

Zechariah 11:4 "Thus said the Lord my God: 'Become shepherd of the flock doomed to slaughter."
Zechariah 11:7 "So I became the shepherd of the flock doomed to be slain for those who trafficked in the sheep .....
Zechariah 12:10 "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of compassion and supplication so that, when they lock on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a first-born."
Psalms 2:1-2 "Why do the nations conspire, and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and His anointed..."
Psalms 22:6-8 "But I am a worm and no man; scorned by men, and despised by the people. All who see me mock at me, they make mouths at me they wag their heads; 'He committed his cause to the Lord; let him deliver him, let him rescue him, for he delights in him!"
Psalms 22:16-18 "Yea, dogs are round about me; a company of evildoers encircle me; they have pierced my hands and feet--I can count all my bones--they stare and gloat over me; they divide my garments among them, and for my raiment they cast lots."
Matthew 16:21 "From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things and be killed, and on the third day be raised. And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying 'God forbid, Lord! This shall never happen to you.' But he turned and said to Peter, 'Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men." (Also Jesus spoke of his crucifixion in Matthew 17:23, 20:18, 26:2; Mark 8:30-33,9:31; Luke 9:21-22,18:31,10:33)
PROPHECIES about A TRIUMPHAL AND GLORIOUS LORD WHO WILL BE ACCEPTED AND WHO WOULD REIGN OVER ISRAEL WERE ALSO PREDICTED.
Isaiah 60 (2-3) "but the Lord will arise upon you, and nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising..."
Psalms 72:11 "May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him!"
Psalms 2:7-8 "I will tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to me, 'You are my son, today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession."

Isaiah 2:4 "He shall judge between the nations; and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hocks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." (Also Micah 4:1-4)
Isaiah 9:7 "Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forever more. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will do this."
Isaiah 2:17 "And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled, and the pride of men shall be brought low; and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day."
Psalms 89:27,29 "And I will make him the first-born, the highest of the kings of the earth...I will establish his line forever and his throne as the days of the heavens."
Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly, 0 daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he,"
Psalms 110:1-7 (2) "The Lord sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of you foes!"
Daniel 2:44 "And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever;"
Amos 9:11-15 (14) "I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit."

Luke 1:32-33 "He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end."
Luke 2:38 "And coming up at that very hour she (Anna) gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem."
Luke 4:18 "(Jesus reading Old Testament scripture about himself..) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
John 1:49 "Nathaniel answered him, 'Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel."
I don't think Jesus would be decidedly "ugly" in physical appearance, but rather, nothing about Him is especially appealing. Probably, just average looking. Because, even ugly can draw attention. Now, that could be my own conditioning, but, it seems to fit what the scripture is saying. You wouldn't be able to pick Him out of a crowd, there is nothing about His appearance that would draw attention to Him for appearances sake.
I do agree that they shouldn't use a male model to play Him. Just find an average looking Jewish man that you wouldn't remember 10 minutes after the movie ended.
I think what it's trying to convey is that He didn't have a following because He was good looking and/or regal. That's probably all it is telling us.
I agree, he was probably just common looking!
The word sprinkle in Isaiah 52:15 actually means “startle”
KJV old English concordance use. Sprinkle
Question: in that chapter it says HE WILL SEE HIS OFFSPRINGS-(Jesus did not have children) THE LORD WILL PROLONG HIS LIFE (Jesus died 33 according to Christians and my grandma is 90 years what we can call a prolong life and 33 is a short life.
Jaykob Seiler my question to you is this- Claiming that Jesus was trying to convinced everyone that he was sent by god and that he was the messiah- then prophesied that he will die and 3 days later he will rise again- THEN WHY didn’t he go back to every one who doubted him and proved to everyone that he rose from the dead and redeemed all the believers and destroyed all the none believers? What was the point of him dying then rising if he wasn’t going to stick around?
Jaykob Seiler also days and time are for the living and a prolong life is for years and time but and eternal life is for infinity it’s eternal- which makes your point invalid
What was the point of Jesus dying?
Jesus died to make an atonement for our sins. He bore our sins upon him so that now instead of requiring the blood of goats, bulls, and other animals to temporarily cleanse us from our sins, we are now cleansed by his blood that he offered for us. No longer do we require a sin sacrifice because Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.
Isaiah 53:8(KJV) “...for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
Isaiah 53: 10” ....thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin”
Isaiah 53:11”...by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.”
Romans 5:7-11-15 KJV
[7] “For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. [10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. [11] And not only so , but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
[12] Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: [13] (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. [14] Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. [15] But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.”
Romans 5:19 “For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.”
This Bible passage is referring to how sin and death entered into the world after Adam ate of the fruit of the tree of Knowledge of good and evil that God had commanded them not to eat of, as found in Genesis 2 and 3. When they ate of the fruit their eyes were opened and they realized that they were naked. To cover their nakedness they sowed fig leaves together and hid from God. In Genesis 3:21 we find that God made “coats” or tunics of skin and clothed them. Genesis 3:21 leads us to assume that an animal had to die to make the tunics of skin to cover Adam and Eve. This animal’s death was the first death to enter into the world. It died in order to cover the sin that Adam and Eve had committed. ( I.e blood had to be shed to cover their sin).
What is interesting is that the passage in Romans states that death reigned from Adam to Moses. It is significant that it stops at Moses because it was during Moses’ time that God commanded every household in Israel to kill a lamb without blemish and to put the blood of that lamb on their door posts so that the death angel would pass over them when it struck the land of Egypt (Exodus 12) Moreover, God spoke to Moses in Leviticus about the necessary ways to perform trespass and sin offerings. Leviticus 6:6-7 KJV
[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord , a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: [7] And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord : and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein
Leviticus 5:15,17-18 KJV
[15] If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the Lord ; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering: [17] And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord ; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. [18] And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven him. [19]It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD
Leviticus 7:1-2,7 KJV
[1] Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy. [2] In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar. [7] As the sin offering is , so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it .
17: 11 saying “[11] For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”
Here we see that blood needs to be shed in order to have an atonement for the soul. The ultimate price for sin is death. These verses give us insight that in order to avoid death brought on by Adam’s disobedience ( maybe not the physical, but spiritual death) there needs to be a sacrifice. In the old days the sacrifice of an animal was required, now we do not need the blood of animals because Jesus gave his soul as an atonement for sin.
In Hebrews 9:22 KJV the Bible informs us that “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”
Hebrews clearly depicts how prior to Jesus we had to rely on the blood of animals to be offered by the high priest once a year to cleanse us from our sins. Jesus offered his blood for us so that he could become the ultimate atonement for sin.
Hebrews 9:1-28 KJV
[1] Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. [2] For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. [3] And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; [4] Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; [5] And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. [6] Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God . [7] But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: [8] The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: [9] Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; [10] Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. [11] But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; [12] Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us . [13] For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: [14] How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? [15] And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. [16] For where a testament is , there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. [17] For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. [18] Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. [19] For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, [20] Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. [21] Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. [22] And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. [23] It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. [24] For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: [25] Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; [26] For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. [27] And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: [28] So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
Jesus gave a parable unto his disciples which basically addressed the question of why he would not appear to all the unbelievers for a sign after his resurrection. It was the story of Lazarus and the rich man that can be found in Luke 16:19-31
The parable goes like this “Luke 16:19-31 KJV
[19] There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: [20] And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, [21] And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. [22] And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; [23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. [24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. [25] But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. [26] And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. [27] Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: [28] For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. [29] Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. [30] And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. [31] And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”
Other sayings of Jesus further shed light to the parable of Lazarus.
One such saying can be found in Luke 24:44. Here Jesus was speaking to his disciples after his resurrection.
“[44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.”
Another passage that sheds light to the Lazarus story is the message that Jesus gave to some of the people that were trying to persecute him one day while he taught the people.
This passage can be found in John 5:39-47.
“39Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41I receive not honour from men. 42But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 45Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?”
Through these stories and statements Jesus is telling the people ( and his disciples) that the old prophets, Moses and the Psalms are filled with prophecies written about him. He is saying that if they do not believe their own prophets, what good would it be to send them a man that is risen from the dead.
As such, Jesus did reveal himself to his disciples and to several of his followers after his resurrection. Then he commanded his disciples to preach the gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth beginning at Jerusalem.
Isaiah 53:8-10 KJV
[8] … and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. [9] And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. [10] Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, …”
It is interesting that the prophet Isaiah writes that this servant will be taken from the land of the living and it is when the soul of this servant is made an offering for sin that the servant shall see his seed. As I stated in an earlier response, as described in the Old Testament in Genesis and Leviticus, the way to make an offering for sin was to kill an animal because the life of the flesh is in the blood. Leviticus 17:11. Therefore this servant had to die before his soul could be made an offering for sin. Based on Isaiah 53, this servant first died and then saw his seed.
In John 12:24 KJV Jesus said”
[24] Verily, verily, I say utnto you, Except a corn( can also be translated as grain) of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit (other translations translate fruit as seed.” In this statement Jesus was alluding to his death and how he had to die in order to bear fruit or seed. Thus, John 12:24 allows us to see that the seed that the prophet is talking about is a spiritual seed (followers/disciples) that this servant had. This correctly describes Jesus and his death, because it was after his death that the numbers of his followers increased dramatically and his teachings reached most of the world. NPR estimates that there are more than 2 billion Christians today. From this it would seem that Jesus did bring forth a lot of “fruit” after his death.
Psalm 22:30 KJV “[30] A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.”
Psalm 22 is regarded by many to be a Psalm referring to the Messiah. If so, then Jesus did fulfill this prophecy because currently there are millions of people worldwide that serve him.
THE CHOSEN!!!
Does anyone happen to know what translation he is reading from? One the move so can’t look, thank you
great video Mike. Has anyone told you that you look like an older Danny Gokey? :)
Haha, nope
@1910 only those that are given the gift of faith can believe this azwesome revelation as the natural man cannot receive the things of god. neither can he know them as they are spiritually appraised. 1cor2:14&eph2:8-9. wow what an awesome revelation that jesus says in john17 about all those that the fasther has given him. that he will not lose them because the father gave them to him, he payed for them and the holy spirit has sealed them unto the day of redemption.
Excellent
I was amazed the first time I read it!
As far as the past tense/future tense prophecy indicating God is outside of time (I think that is an assumption), it DOES show that it's as good as done. A done deal.
Jesus the servant of God
If I wanted to see what ancient Jewish leaders were saying about Isaiah 53.. where would I go?
There are Hebrew Bible apps out there that let you click on verses and see multiple rabbinic commentaries on them.
Amen, Amen, and Amen
So great that God killed Himself to atone for our sins against Him.
Regarding the appearance of Jesus, Netflix has the four gospels where Jesus looks like an ordinary Jewish man (no beauty in him/ not model like). FYI, it's a word for word as well.
Ok Mike, you are either lying or you haven't read the rest of the servant song. It says over and over again that the servant is Israel. No Jewish person ever said it wasn't a messianic prophecy but not about the person of the Messiah but about the time of the Messiah.
And please learn Hebrew. It doesn't say for our transgressions and for our iniquities. It says by our transgressions and by our iniquities.
And Jesus didn't suffer more than any man. Most people died on the cross in a lot more than six hours.
You are beginning with Jesus as your starting point and putting him into the middle of the story completely out of context.
This passage absolutely cannot be talking about the Jews, because they are depicted as part of the tribe of sinners who killed the servant (which we all are these sinners). "He was pierced by our transgressions, he was crushed by our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace fell on him, and by his stripes we are healed." If Isaiah was a Jew and the servant represented Israel, why did he say "our transgressions, our iniquities, our peace, we are healed"? Why didn't he say "their transgressions"?
Furthermore Isaiah specifically names Israel in the offender group in verse 8, "For the transgressions of my people, to whom the stroke was due." Also in verse 4 when it talks about the servant being considered smitten of God, either the Jews had to be the "we ourselves" who esteemed him stricken, or they (The gentiles) would have esteemed him (Israel) smitten by another deity, for the God mentioned here is the God of the Jews, not a god of the gentiles. (Diclaimer: the word Isaiah used for God is Elohim, which normally refers to the God of the Jews, (who's Name I do not include in this post to honor Jews in not blasepheming His Name), but Elohim is also a plural word for God, and so it could be translated "Smitten by the gods". However, if that was what Isaiah was going for, he could have articulated it with Elim (The standard plural for El) instead of Elohim.)
Love watching Mike but the sign behind him gets to me .
I assume it says HIM
But it says KJM
This claim that modern rabbi's see the passage as about Israel because it's about Jesus is just not true. We do not know what ancient Jews thought about the passage, so claiming in either case is an appeal to ignorance. What scholars do is let the text stand on it's own. Who do the following versus say is the suffering servant 44:1, 44:21, 49:3? Isaiah 53 is written in the past tense. Why would a prediction for the future Messiah be written in past tense? Do you know what else follows the model of decent and ascent of a character? Almost all literature.
I BELIEVE
Isaiah 44, who has G-D named as his servant and do you think this changed in 52-53, I don't think so, here are the words of G-D. 21 Remember these, O Jacob; and Israel, for you are My servant; I formed you that you be a servant to Me, Israel, do not forget Me. כאזְכָר־אֵ֣לֶּה יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל כִּ֣י עַבְדִּי־אָ֑תָּה יְצַרְתִּ֚יךָ עֶֽבֶד־לִי֙ אַ֔תָּה יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֹ֥א תִנָּשֵֽׁנִי:
No where in the Tanakh does it talk about a second coming.
Read Luke 24:25
Neither does it say there will only be a single coming, so that argument gets you nowhere.
@@powningatheists7987 Actually that argument solidifies the fact that Jesus isnt the messiah.
The idea of the messiah having a second coming Is not only not found in the Jewish bible but is inconsistent with what is taught.
Once you accept the notion that a messiah can have a second coming, in order to remain consistent, anyone who has ever died can be the messiah. My grandfather who passed could be the messiah, you could tell me but your grandfather didnt fulfill any messianic criteria in his lifetime, and I can simply respond that my grandfather is going to fulfill everything in his second coming.
Following your same logic that "neither does it say there will be a single coming"
One could also say neither does it say the messiah wont have 50 comings before everything is fulfilled, neither does it say the messiah cant inform people he is the messiah,fulfill non of the messianic criteria in his lifetime, die, and then fulfill everything in his second coming. Neither doesn it say that the messiah cant live his life never telling anyone that he is the messiah, die, and then inform everyone that he is the messiah in his second coming and complete all the messianic criteria.
The same issue is present in your line of reasoning and all the other examples. The issue is that accepting the notion that the messiah can have a second coming means you cannot rule out/ falsify anyone as the messiah.
The idea of a second coming is an excuse and admission that Jesus didnt fulfill the the things the messiah was suppose to. The notion of a second coming is a Christian attempt to salvage Jesus failure to fulfill the messianic criteria necessary to be a messiah. This is one of many reasons why Jews, rightfully so, reject Jesus as the messiah
What about the day of the Lord's judgment? Hey? That's second coming
It's Isaiah 52:13 - Isaiah 53:12 .
23:54 that is UMO project it has the 4 gospel
NOOR E KHUDA ONLY ✝️RUE🙏
I cry.
