The Lord Jesus said that Moses and the other prophets wrote of Him. Those men wrote ever so long before He came to earth, but we, too, may read their words and see how plainly they told of the Holy One to come.
Moses wrote: “The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren” [that means from their nation] (
Deuteronomy 18:15
15
The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; (Deuteronomy 18:15)
;
Acts 3:22
22
For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. (Acts 3:22)
;
Acts 7:37
37
This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. (Acts 7:37)
).
Isaiah wrote that One was to come as a child: “A virgin shall ... bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel (God with us),” “Unto us a Son is given ... unto us a Child is born” (
Isaiah 7:14
14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14)
;
Isaiah 9:6
6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
).
Micah wrote where He was to be born: “Thou, Bethlehem ... out of thee shall He come forth unto Me, that is to be ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth have been ... from everlasting.” (To be born on earth, yet had always lived).
Zechariah wrote of a humble King: “Behold thy King cometh unto thee: He is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass” (
Zechariah 9:9
9
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. (Zechariah 9:9)
).
David and Isaiah wrote of His rejection: “The kings of the earth set themselves against the Lord and His anointed” (
Psalm 2:2
2
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, (Psalm 2:2)
;
Acts 4:25-26
25
Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. (Acts 4:25‑26)
). “He is despised and rejected of men.” (
Isaiah 53:3
3
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isaiah 53:3)
). David wrote events of the cross: “They pierced My hands and My Feet.” “They ... cast lots upon My vesture.” “They laugh Me to scorn” (
Psalm 22:7, 16, 18
7
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, (Psalm 22:7)
16
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. (Psalm 22:16)
18
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. (Psalm 22:18)
). “They gave Me vinegar” (
Psalm 69:21
21
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. (Psalm 69:21)
).
Jeremiah wrote of His sufferings: “Behold, and see if there is any sorrow like unto My sorrow, which is done unto Me” (
Lamentations 1:12
12
Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. (Lamentations 1:12)
).
Isaiah wrote the Holy One would be “cut off” (die) for sinners; “He was cut off out of the land of the living.” “He hath poured out His soul unto death.” “He bare the sin of many” (
Isaiah 53:8, 12
8
He was taken from prison and from judgment: 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. (Isaiah 53:8)
12
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (Isaiah 53:12)
).
Daniel wrote that He should be “cut off,” which was plainly understood by people then; he said “Messiah” should “be cut off, but not for Himself” (
Daniel 9:26
26
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Daniel 9:26)
).
Not only the prophets but the laws and sacrifices for the people taught of a Perfect One to come to take the sinner’s place — and there was also much told of life, joy, and glory for that One after the sufferings. So as surely as the words of His life on earth have been fulfilled, so surely will the words of His joy and glory (see
Psalm 16:11
11
Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. (Psalm 16:11)
; Psalm 24;
Isaiah 53:11
11
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. (Isaiah 53:11)
; Isaiah 60).
Many titles were used to teach both the work and glory of the Holy One to come, such as:
“Messiah,” the anointed by God, and the Christ meant the same (
John 1:41
41
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. (John 1:41)
).
“My Shepherd,” the One to care for the people and to give His life for the flock (
Zechariah 13:7
7
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. (Zechariah 13:7)
).
“My Servant,” the One to do all God’s will (
Isaiah 42:1-7
1
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4
He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
5
Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6
I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. (Isaiah 42:1‑7)
;
Isaiah 52:13-15
13
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14
As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15
So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider. (Isaiah 52:13‑15)
; and Isaiah 53).
Although this One was to come to earth, it was also made plain He had lived forever “from everlasting,” and was “the Son” and Lord (see
Psalm 2:7
7
I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (Psalm 2:7)
;
Proverbs 8:23
23
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. (Proverbs 8:23)
;
Isaiah 9:6
6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
;
Jeremiah 23:6
6
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Jeremiah 23:6)
;
Malachi 3:1
1
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 3:1)
).
Further Meditation
1. What is one prophecy that Zechariah made about the Messiah?
2. People make predictions, but God’s prophesies are completely different. What makes God’s prophecy unique and wonderful?
3. If you haven’t yet read the booklet 33 Prophecies Fulfilled in One Day you will no doubt find it very thrilling to your soul.
