The Amazing Prophecy of Isaiah 53
Yesterday (Sunday, October 23, 2011) we had the privilege of having Dr. Mitch Glaser, president of Chosen People Ministries, speaking in our fellowship, during a Missions Sunday. Being a Messianic Jew, Mitch who came to belief in Jesus as the Messiah during the Jesus Movement (really a movement of Jesus) of the 1970s, preached from Isaiah 52 & 53. These powerful verses of prophecy, spoken through the Jewish prophet Isaiah, more than 700 years before Jesus entered into humanity, are some of the most amazing Messianic prophecies (and there are over 300 Messianic prophecies in the Bible) that reveal our Father's plan and desire to bring us back to Himself. Consider these words.
Isaiah 52:7-15 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!" Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the LORD returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes. Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God. Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure, you who carry the vessels of the LORD. But you will not leave in haste or go in flight; for the LORD will go before you, the God of Israel will be your rear guard. See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. Just as there were many who were appalled at him-- his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-- so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
