ISAIAH PREDICTED THAT THE SERVANT… 700 YEARS LATER, Y'SHUA…

(53:2) grew up in Nazareth, a city with a very (53:2) poor reputation; and not where the Messiah was expected to come from (Luke 2:39-40, 51)
would be rejected by many
(53:1,3) while on the cross, was mocked, blasphemed and reviled, even by those who were crucified with him (Matthew 27:39-44)
would bear our sins and suffer in our place (53:4-6,11) "…himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." (1 Peter 2:24)
would heal many (53:4-5) healed many (Matthew 8:16-17)
voluntarily took our punishment upon himself (53:6-7) said, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep" (John 10:11)

Isaiah is breathtaking, it makes my head tingle every time I read it. As someone with a scientific mind, the prophecy in the bible really gets to me.

People have said that the case for Jesus can't be made logically, but that's exactly what does it for me. The impossible, mind blowing logic.

I remember some scientific study was done regarding Christ actually fulfilling all of the prophecy regarding him, the odds were astronomical. Numerically impossible in fact.

The prophesy continued and continues:

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations: and then shall the consummation come.

Christians the world over adore their Messiah, the one who changed everything, including how we count time. That in itself is miraculous.

It's enough to make you sing His praises and lift His blessed name to the highest.
