A Star shall rise out of Jacob, and a
Sceptre shall rise up out of Israel (Num. 24:17).
Jehovah thy God will raise
up unto thee a Prophet out of the midst of thy brethren, like unto Me; Him ye
shall obey. And I will put My words in His mouth. Whence it shall come to pass,
that the man who will not obey His words, I will require it of him (Deut.
18:15-19).
The Lord Himself giveth you a sign, Behold a virgin shall conceive
and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name, God with us (Isa. 7:14).
Unto
us a Boy is born, unto us a Son is given, on whose shoulder shall be the
government; His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, Father of
Eternity, Prince of Peace: of the increase of His government there shall be no
end (Isa. 9:6, 7).
There shall come forth a Shoot out of the stem of Jesse,
and a branch out of his root shall bear fruit. Upon Him shall rest the spirit of
wisdom and intelligence, the spirit of counsel and might (Isa. 11:1, 2).
In
that day the nations shall seek the Root of Jesse, which standeth for an ensign
of the peoples, and His rest shall be glory (Isa. 11:10).
Send ye the lamb of
the Ruler of the land, from the rock towards the wilderness. His throne has been
made firm by mercy, and one shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of
David, judging and seeking judgment, and hastening justice (Isa. 16:1, 5).
It
shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God, for whom we have waited that He
may deliver us; this is Jehovah, for whom we have waited: we will exult and be
glad in His salvation (Isa. 25:9; 26:8, 9).
The voice of one crying in the
desert, Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, make plain in the solitude a highway for
our God. The glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it
together (Isa. 40:3, 5).
O Zion, thou evangelizer, get thee up upon the high
mountain; O Jerusalem, thou evangelizer, lift up thy voice with might; say to
the cities of Judah, Behold your God. Behold, the Lord Jehovih cometh in
strength, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold His reward is with Him. He
shall feed His flock like a shepherd; He shall gather the lambs into His arm,
and carry them in His bosom; He shall gently lead the sucklings (Isa.
40:9-11).
My people shall know My name in that day; for I am He that doth
speak; Behold Me. How delightful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that
evangelizeth, that causeth to hear peace, that evangelizeth good, that causes
them to hear salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy King* reigneth. They shall
lift up the voice and sing, when they shall see eye to eye that Jehovah is
returned to Zion. He hath consoled His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem. All
the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God (Isa. 52:6-10).
Say
ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; His reward is with
Him, and the price of His work before Him (Isa. 62:11).
Shout for joy and be
glad, O daughter of Zion; behold I come that I may dwell in the midst of thee.
Then many nations shall cleave to Jehovah (Zech. 2:10, 11).
Exult greatly, O
daughter of Zion; resound, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy King cometh to
thee, just (Zech. 9:9).
Behold, the days come when I will raise up to David a
just Branch, who shall reign King and prosper, and He shall do judgment and
justice in the land; and this is His name, Jehovah our Justice (Jer. 23:5, 6;
33:15, 16).
Behold, I send My angel, who shall prepare the way before Me; and
the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to His temple, and the Angel of the
covenant whom ye desire, behold He shall come (Mal. 3:1).
Thou Bethlehem
Ephratah, it is little that thou art among the thousands of Judah; out of thee
shall One go forth unto Me, who will be the Ruler in Israel, and whose goings
forth are from of old, from the days of eternity. He shall stand and feed in the
strength of Jehovah, and shall increase even to the ends of the earth (Micah.
5:2, 4).
I anoint My king upon Zion. I will proclaim concerning the statute,
Jehovah saith unto Me, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee; ask of
Me, and I will give the nations for Thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth
for Thy possession. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way;
Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him (Ps. 2:6-12).
Behold the God
of my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. Cry out and shout for joy, O
inhabitress of Zion; for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee
(Isa. 12:2, 6).
In that day a man shall look to his Maker, and his eyes shall
regard the Holy One of Israel (Isa. 17:7).
My Beloved had a vineyard in the
horn of [a son of] oil (Isa. 5:1).
Jehovah Zebaoth, Him shall ye sanctify. He
shall be for a sanctuary, although for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of
offence, and for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitant of Jerusalem (Isa.
8:13, 14; Matt. 21:42-44; Luke 20:17, 18).
The people walking in darkness
shall see a great light; the dwellers in the land of the shadow of death, upon
them shall the light shine (Isa. 9:2).
Out of Zion God shall shine forth; our
God shall come, and shall not keep silence (Ps. 50:2, 3).
The vision is yet
for the appointed time, and speaketh out to the end; yet it shall not lie:
though He tarry, wait for Him; because coming He will come, He will not be
delayed (Hab. 2:3).
O Jehovah, I have heard Thy fame; I have revered, O
Jehovah, Thy works; make it present in the midst of the years; God shall come
from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. His honor covered the heavens,
and the earth was full of His praise. His brightness shall be as the light; rays
from His Hand; and there is the hiding of His strength (Hab. 3:2-4).
Thus
said the Lord Jehovih, Behold, I will lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a
tried stone, a precious corner of well established foundation; then I will set
judgment for the rule, and justice for the plummet (Isa. 28:16, 17).
He had
no form nor honor [vers. 1, 2].
He was despised and not esteemed [ver.
3].
He was thrust through on account of our trespasses, He was bruised for
our iniquities [vers. 4, 5].
Jehovah caused the iniquities of us all to meet
in Him [ver. 6].
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter [ver. 7].
He was
cut off out of the land of the living [vers. 8. 9].
Because he placed their
guilt on His soul, His days shall be prolonged [ver. 10].
And for them He
poured out His soul even to death [vers. 11, 12].
He was numbered with the
trespassers, and interceded for the trespassers [ver. 12].
I have roused Him
up in justice. He shall build My city; and He shall release My captivity, not
for price, nor reward, Verily Thou art a God that hidest Thyself, O God of
Israel the Saviour (Isa. 45:13, 15).
I have caused My justice to draw near,
and My salvation shall not tarry (Isa. 46:13).
As for our Redeemer, Jehovah
Zebaoth is His Name, and the Holy One of Israel (Isa. 47:4).
O Jehovah our
Lord, how magnificent is Thy Name in all the earth, giving to it honor above the
heavens. Thou hast caused Him to be a little less than the angels, but Thou hast
crowned Him with glory and honor; Thou hast made Him to have dominion over the
works of Thy hands, Thou hast put all things under His feet (Ps. 8:1, 5, 6,
9).
God shall come down like rain upon the herb. He shall have dominion also
from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. The
barbarians shall bow themselves down before Him, and His enemies shall lick the
dust; the kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring their present; the
kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer their gift. All kings shall bow themselves
down to Him, all nations shall serve Him; for He shall deliver the miserable,
who hath no helper. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence. His
Name shall be to eternity He shall have the name of a Son before the sun, and
they shall be blessed in Him. Blessed be God, the God of Israel; blessed be the
Name of His glory; the whole earth shall be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen
(Ps. 72:1-19).
