Jews
Isaiah 52:13-53:12
- Isaiah 49:5,6 – Servant can’t be Israel, it’s the Messiah.
- Therefore, the “servant” in Isaiah isn’t always Israel. (also 20:3, 22:20, 37:35)
- Why can’t Isaiah 53 be the nation of Israel?
- Vs 3 – Nations hid from Israel? When?
- Vs 7 – Israel didn’t open mouth?
- Yes, they did. Ex “Trial of God”
- Vs 8 – Cut off out of the land of the living?
- Many nations have ceased, but Israel still exists.
- Vs 9 – No violence?
- King David hotel bombing, wars of Israel…
- No deceit in mouth?
- Hebrew calendar manipulated so Christ not born at year 4000.
Ps 22 – Prophecy of Crucifixion.
- Can’t be David. Vs 14, 16, 18.
Dan 9:20-27 – 69 weeks (483 years) started in Neh 2
- Artaxerxes started his reign in 473 BC.
- His 20th year would be 453 BC.
- 453-483=30 AD
- The Messiah (9:25) had to come around the time of Jesus Christ. (30 AD)
- Doesn’t allow for the Messiah in 2015 AD or later…
