Bible Prophecy: Messiah Would Be Rejected By The Jews.

Bible Text:

Isaiah 53:3 KJV

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 NLT

He was despised and rejected— A Man Of Sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on Him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care.

Psalm 2:1-3 KJV

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against

The Lord, and against His Anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

Psalm 2:1-3 NLT

1 Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans?

2 The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the Lord and against His Anointed One.

3 “Let us break their chains,” they cry, “and free ourselves from slavery to God.”

The Fulfillment:

He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.

Psalm 69:9 NLT

Passion for your house has consumed Me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on Me.

Isaiah 50:6 KJV

I gave My back to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My face from shame and spitting.

Isaiah 53:1-12 NLT (Matthew 8:17)

1 Who has believed our message? To whom has The Lord revealed His powerful arm?

2 My servant grew up in The Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about His appearance, nothing to attract us to Him.

3 He was despised and rejected— A Man Of Sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on Him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care.

4 Yet it was our weaknesses He carried; it was our sorrows that weighed Him down. And we thought His troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for His own sins!

5 But He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.

6 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on Him the sins of us all.

7 He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like A Lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, He did not open His mouth.

8 Unjustly condemned, He was led away. No one cared that He died without descendants, that His life was cut short in midstream. But He was struck down for the rebellion of My people.

9 He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But He was buried like a criminal; He was put in a rich man’s grave.

10 But it was The Lord’s good plan to crush Him and cause Him grief. Yet when His life is made an offering for sin, He will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and The Lord’s good plan will prosper in His hands.

11 When He sees all that is accomplished by His anguish, He will be satisfied. And because of His experience, My Righteous Servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for He will bear all their sins.

12 I will give Him the honors of A Victorious Soldier, because He exposed Himself to death. He was counted among the rebels. He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.

Isaiah 63:7-10 NLT

7 I will tell of The Lord’s unfailing love. I will praise The Lord for all He has done. I will rejoice in His great goodness to Israel (God's People), which He has granted according to His mercy and love.

8 He said, “They are My very own people. Surely they will not betray Me again.” And He became their Savior.

9 In all their suffering He also suffered, and He personally rescued them. In His Love and Mercy He redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them through all the years.

10 But they rebelled against Him and grieved His Holy Spirit. So He became their enemy and fought against them.

Matthew 8:17 NLT

This fulfilled the word of The Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said, “He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.”

Matthew 13:55-58 KJV

55 Is not this The Carpenter's son? is not His mother called Mary? and His brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this Man all these things?

58 And He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

King Of The Jews!

35 And they crucified Him, and parted His garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted My garments among them, and upon My vesture did they cast lots.

38 Then were there two thieves crucified with Him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

39 And they that passed by reviled Him, wagging their heads,

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be The Son Of God, come down from the cross.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking Him, with the scribes and elders, said,

42 He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He be The King Of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.

Mark 7:34 NLT

Looking up to heaven, He sighed and said, “Ephphatha,” which means, “Be opened!”

Mark 8:12,31 KJV

12 And He sighed deeply in His Spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

31 And He began to teach them, that The Son Of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Mark 15:24,29,30,32,34 KJV

24 And when they had crucified Him, they parted His garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

29 And they that passed by railed on Him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

32 Let Christ The King Of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with Him reviled Him.

33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

27 Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

John 15:13 KJV

Greater love hath no man than this, that A Man lay down His life for his friends.

II Corinthians 8:9 KJV

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.

Galatians 3:13 KJV

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Ephesians 5:1,2 KJV

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor.

Philippians 2:7,8 KJV

7 But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of A Servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as A Man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Titus 2:13,14 KJV

13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;

14 Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Hebrews 2:9,10,16-18 NLT

9 What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because He suffered death for us, He is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s Grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone.

10 God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many children into glory. And it was only right that He should make Jesus, through His suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their salvation.

16 We also know that The Son did not come to help angels; He came to help the descendants of Abraham.

17 Therefore, it was necessary for Him to be made in every respect like us, His brothers and sisters, so that He could be our Merciful and Faithful High Priest before God. Then He could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people.

18 Since He Himself has gone through suffering and testing, He is able to help us when we are being tested.

Hebrews 4:15 NLT

This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same testings we do, yet He did not sin.

Hebrews 7:23-25 NLT

23 There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office.

24 But because Jesus lives forever, His priesthood lasts forever.

25 Therefore He is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through Him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.

Hebrews 9:26,28 NLT

26 "...But now, once for all time, He has appeared at the end of the age to remove sin by His own death as a sacrifice.

28 so also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for Him.

Hebrews 13:12 KJV

Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own Blood, suffered without the gate.

I Peter 1:18,19 KJV

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with The Precious Blood Of Christ, as of A Lamb Without blemish And Without Spot:

I Peter 2:21-24 KJV

21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps:

22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth:

23 Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously:

24 Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

I Peter 3:18 KJV

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, The Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by The Spirit:

I John 3:5,16 KJV

5 And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.

16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Revelation 1:5,6 KJV

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is The Faithful Witness, and The First Begotten Of The Dead, and The Prince Of The Kings Of The Earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own Blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 5:9,10 KJV

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy Blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Revelation 7:9,10 KJV

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before

The Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon

the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Revelation 15:3,4 KJV

3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of The Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and True are thy ways, thou King Of saints.

4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

Revelation 21:22 KJV

And I saw no temple therein: for The Lord God Almighty and The Lamb are the temple of it.

Dear friend, mere words can not measure the pain and suffering our Lord endured, because of our sins, and His great love for us!

As Christians, every spiritual blessing we have and do receive has been bought and paid for by our

Precious Savior.

II Corinthians 8:9 KJV

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.

Isaiah 50:6 KJV

I gave My back to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My face from shame and spitting.

Isaiah 53:3-7 KJV

3 He was despised and rejected— A Man Of Sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on Him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care.

4 Yet it was our weaknesses He carried; it was our sorrows that weighed Him down. And we thought His troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for His own sins!

5 But He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.

6 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on Him the sins of us all.

7 He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like A Lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, He did not open His mouth.

What A Friend We Have In Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

Take it to The Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

Take it to The Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge,

Take it to The Lord in prayer.

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to The Lord in prayer!

In His arms He’ll take and shield you;

You will find a solace there.

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised

Thou wilt all our burdens bear

May we ever, Lord, be bringing

All to Thee in earnest prayer.

Soon in glory bright unclouded

There will be no need for prayer

Rapture, praise and endless worship

Will be our sweet portion there.

John 3:16,17,36 KJV
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.

36 He that believeth on The Son hath everlasting Life: and he that believeth not The Son shall not see Life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
