Fulfillment:
Bible Prophecy: Messiah A
Prophet.
Bible Text:
The Prophecy:
Deuteronomy 18:15 KJV
(B.C. 1451)
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 hearken;
Moses in his last recap of Israels laws, prophetically revealed,
that there would, one day be
A Prophet, like unto himself, yet greater than he. A Prophet raised
up, from among God's people,
A Man, flesh and blood, Prophet, called of God.
The Fulfillment:
John 6:14 KJV
(A.D. 32)
Then those men,
when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a
Truth that prophet that should come into the world.
John 1:45 KJV
Philip findeth
Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom Moses in
the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus Of Nazareth, The Son Of
Joseph.
Acts 3:19-26 KJV
19 Repent ye
therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when
the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of The Lord.
20 And He shall
send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the
heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things,
which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the
world began.
22 For Moses
truly said unto the fathers, A Prophet shall The Lord your God raise
up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; Him shall ye hear in all
things whatsoever He shall say unto you.
23 And it shall
come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that Prophet,
shall be destroyed from among the people.
24 Yea, and all
the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have
spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25 Ye 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.
26 Unto you
first God, having raised up His Son Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in
turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
John
6:14,15 KJV
14
Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said,
This is of a Truth that Prophet that should come into the world.
15
When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take Him by
force, to make Him a king, He departed again into a mountain Himself
alone.
Jesus
had feed the 5,000, (1-15), and they believed that He must be the
promised Prophet which Moses spoke of, but they selfishly did not
need another prophet, being under Roman rule, they much more wanted a
king, and so it was their desire to take Him, and make Him their
king, thus freeing themselves from such foreign dominion, but Jesus
had not come to be their king, but Prophet, Savior.
They
were right, Christ was the promised Prophet, come from God, but they
were wrong, for He had not come to answer their selfish prayers for freedom from Roman dominion, but
He had come to be their promised Redeemer (Gen. 3:15).
And
what of us today? We pray, yes, but how oft for selfish petty things,
this our Lord, has not come into our life to do, needs, yes, for we
have a High Priest in heaven.
Oh,
the tears of our Savior, so many do not understand.
Luke
19:41 KJV
And
when He was come near, He beheld the city, and wept over it.
Luke
13:34 KJV
O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them
that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children
together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye
would not!
Acts
3:26 KJV
Unto
you first God, having raised up His Son Jesus, sent Him
to bless you,
in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
John 3:14-21 KJV
14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must
The Son Of Man be lifted up:
15
That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal
life.
16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.
17
For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but
that the world through Him might be saved.
18
He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not
is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The
Only Begotten Son Of God.
19
And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.
20
For every one that doeth evil hateth The Light, neither cometh to The
Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21
But he that doeth Truth cometh to The Light, that his deeds may be
made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Hallelujah what
A Savior
Man of Sorrows! what a name
For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood;
Sealed my pardon with His blood.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
“Full atonement!” can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Lifted up was He to die;
“It is finished!” was His cry;
Now in Heav’n exalted high.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew His song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
