| Behold, I will send my
messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord whom you
seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the
covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the Lord of
host. Malachi 3:1
The voice of him that cries in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a
highway for our God. Isaiah 40:3
|
As it is written in the book of the words
of Isaiah, the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Luke 3:4
And when the messengers of John were
departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What
went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the
wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live
delicately, are in kings courts. But what went ye out for to
see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a
prophet. This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a
greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the
kingdom of God is greater than he. Luke 7:24 - 28 |

shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of
counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

straightway out of the water: and lo, the heavens opened unto him and he
saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him.

upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord

heaven, saying, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.

Promise |
Fulfillment of
God's Promise |
| Nevertheless, the dimness
shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly
afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did
more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in
Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen
a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon
them hath the light shined. Isaiah 9:1 - 2
|
Now, when Jesus had heard
that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; And leaving
Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum which is upon the sea coast, in
the borders of Zabulon (Zebulun) and Nephthalim (Naphtali): That it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet saying,
"The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the
sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; the people which sit in
darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow
of death light is sprung up." Matthew 3:12 - 16

| 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 harken. Deuteronomy 18:15
|
Philip found Nathanael, and
said to him, "We have found him, of whom Moses and the Prophets did
write - Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." John 1:45
Then those men, when they had seen the
miracle that Jesus did, said "This is of truth that prophet that
should come into the world." John 6:14
And he shall send Jesus Christ, which
before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the
times of restitution of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of
all his holy prophets since the world began. For Moses truly said
unto the fathers, "A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto
you of your brethren, like unot me: him shall you hear in all things
whatsoever he shall say unto you." And it shall come to pass,
that every soul whiich will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from
among the people. Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and
those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of
these days. You are the children of the prophets, and of the
covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, and in thy
seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Unto you first
God, having raised up his Son Yeshua, sent him to bless you, in turning
away every one of you from his iniquities. Acts 3:20 - 26

in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old. Psalm 78:1 - 2
|
All these things spoke Jesus
unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto
them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which
have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. Matthew
13:34 - 35 |
| The
Messiah would perform miracles |
| God's
Promise |

| Strengthen you the weak
hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a
fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold your God will come with
vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall
be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the
tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break
out, and streams in the desert. And a parched ground shall become a
pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of
dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
Isaiah 35:3 - 7 |
Now when John had heard in
the prison the works of Messiah, he sent two of his disciples, and said
unto him, "Art thou he that should come, or do we look for
another?" Jesus answered and said unto them, "Go
and show John again those things which you do hear and see: The
blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and
the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel
preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended
in me." Matthew 11:2 - 6

Promise |
Fulfillment of
God's Promise |
| The Spirit of the Lord God is
upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the
meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to
the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To
proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our
God, to comfort all that mourn. Isaiah 61:1 - 2
|
And he came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the
synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And there
was delivered unto Him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He
had opened the book, He found the place where it was written, The
Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to
preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of the
Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that
mourn. And He closed the book, and He gave it again to the
minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the
synagogue sere fastened to him. And He began to say to them, "This
day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." Luke 4:16
- 21 |
| The
Messiah would preach and heal but His ministry would not be understood |
| God's
Promise |
Fulfillment of
God's Promise |
| And he said, Go and tell this
people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but
perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears
heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with
their ears, and understand with their hearts, and convert, and be
healed. Isaiah 6:9 - 10
|
And the disciples came, and
said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He
answered and said unto them, "Because it is
given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them
it is not given. For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he
shall have more abundance: but whosoever has not, from him shall be taken
away even that he has. Therefore, speak I to them in parables,
because they seeing, see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they
understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which
says by hearing you shall hear and shall not understand; and seeing you
shall see, and not perceive. For this people's heart is waxed gross
and their ears are dull of hearing, and eyes they have closed; lest at any
time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should
understand with their heart, and should be converted and I should heal
them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears for
they hear. For surely I say unto you, that many prophets and
righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not
seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard
them. Matthew 13:10 - 17 |
| The
Messiah would have zeal for the Temple |
| God's
Promise |
Fulfillment of
God's Promise |
| For the zeal of thine house
has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them reproached thee are
fallen upon me. Psalm 69:9
|
And the Passover was at hand,
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and found in the temple those that sold
oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And
when He had made a scourage of small cords, He drove them all out of the
temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money
and overthrew the tables; and said unto them that sold doves, Take
these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
And the disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house
has eaten me up. John 2:13 - 17
Also found in Matthew 21:12 - 17
and said unto them, It
is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have
made it a den of thieves" (v13)

11:15 - 19 |
| The
Messiah would be hated without cause |
| God's
Promise |
Fulfillment of
God's Promise |
| They that hate me without a
cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy
me, being mine enemies wrongfully, and mighty: then I restored that which
I took not away. Psalm 69:4
|
He that
hates Me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the
works which none other mad did, they had not had sin: but now have
they both seen and hated both Me and my Father. But this comes to
pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in the law, They
hated me without cause. John 15:23 - 25 |
| The
Messiah would be rejected |
| God's
Promise |
Fulfillment of
God's Promise |
| 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
|
That was the true Light,
which lights every man that comes into the world. He was in the
world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He
came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as
received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on His name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of
the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:9
- 13
Search the
scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they
which testify of Me. And you will not come to me, that you might
have life. I receive not honor from men. But I know you, that
you have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father's name,
and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you
will receive. How can you believe, which receive honor one of
another and seek not the honor that comes from God only? Do not
think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that
accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust/ For had you believed
Moses, you would have believed me for he wrote of Me. But if you believe
not his writings, how shall you believe My words? John 5:39 -
47
And all they in the synagogue, when they
heard these things were filled with wrath, And rose up, and thrust him out
of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was
built, that they might cast him down headlong. Luke 4:28 - 29
And they cried out all at once, saying,
Away with this man and release unto us Barabbas. Luke 23:18

| I am become a stranger unto
my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. Psalm 69:8
|
After these things, Jesus
walked in Galilee: for He would not walk in Judea, because the
authorities sought to kill him. Now the Feast of
Tabernacles was at hand. His brethren therefore said to him,
"Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the
works that you do. For there is no man that does any thing in
secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these
things, show yourself to the world." For neither did is
brethren believe in him. John 7:1 - 5 |
| The
Messiah would be a priest after the order or Melchizedek |
| God's
Promise |
Fulfillment of
God's Promise |
| The Lord hath sworn, and will
not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of
Melchizedek. Psalm 110:4
|
So also, Messiah glorified
not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art
my Son, to day have I begotten thee. As he said also in another
place, Thou art a high priest fore ever after the order of Melchizdek.
Hebrews 5:5 - 6
Whither the forerunner is for us
entered, even Yeshua, made an high priest for ever after the order of
Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:20
For it is evident that our Lord sprang
out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning
priesthood. And it is yet far more evident: for that after the
similitude of Melchizedek there arises another priest, who is made not
after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless
life. For he testifies, Thou art a priest for ever after the order
of Melchizedek. Hebrews 7:14 - 17 |

| Rejoice greatly, O daughter
of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold thy King comes 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
|
And when they drew near unto
Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent
Jesus two disciples. Saying unto them, "Go
into the village over against you, and straightway you shall find an ass
tied , and a colt with her: loose them and bring them unto me.
And if any man say ought unto you, you shall say, The Lord has need of
them; and straightway he will send them. All this was done,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet saying,
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion;
shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold thy King comes unto
thee: he is just, and having salvation, lowly, and riding upon an
ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
And the disciples went, and did as Jesus
commanded them, And brought the ass, and the colt, and put them their
clothes, and they set him thereon. And a very great multitude spread
their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and
spread them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and
that followed, cried, saying Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is
he that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved saying, Who is
this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth,
of Galilee. Matthew 21:1 - 11

threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again and the wall,
even in troublous times. Daniel 9:25

On the next day many people
that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to
Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him and
cried Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that comes in the name of the
Lord. John 12:12 - 13 |
