Bible Prophecy: False Witnesses Condemn The Messiah, Yet He, Remained Silent.

Bible Texts:

The Prophecy Of False Witnesses:

Psalm 27:11,12 NLT

11 Teach Me how to live, O Lord. Lead Me along the right path, for My enemies are waiting for Me.

12 Do not let Me fall into their hands. For they accuse Me of things I’ve never done; with every breath they threaten Me with violence.

Psalm 35:11,12 NLT

11 Malicious witnesses testify against Me. They accuse Me of crimes I know nothing about.

12 They repay Me evil for good. I am sick with despair.

Prophecy Fulfillment:

Matthew 26:59-61 KJV

59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put Him to death;

60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

False Witnesses:

And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

Jesus, never said that He, would destroy any temple!

These men were liars.

John 2:19-21 KJV

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

21 But He spake of the temple of His body.

And in 3 days, from His death, He was resurrected from the dead.

Matthew 16:21 KJV

From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto His disciples, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

Prophecy Of The Messiahs' Silence:

Isaiah 53:7 KJV

He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as A Lamb to the slaughter, and as A Sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth.

Psalm 38:13,14 NLT

13 But I am deaf to all their threats. I am silent before them as one who cannot speak.

14 I choose to hear nothing, and I make no reply.

Prophecy (Of Silence) Fulfillment:

Matthew 26:62,63 NLT

62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Well, aren’t you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for yourself?”

63 But Jesus remained silent.

Matthew 27:12-14 NLT

12 But when the leading priests and the elders made their accusations against Him, Jesus remained silent.

13 “Don’t you hear all these charges they are bringing against you?” Pilate demanded.

14 But Jesus made no response to any of the charges, much to the governor’s surprise.

Dear Christian, our Lord has told us...

John 13:15 KJV

For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

Matthew 5:11 KJV

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake.

 

I Peter 3:13-18 NLT (Suffering for Doing Good)

13 Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good?

14 But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats.

15 Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.

16 But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.

17 Remember, it is better to suffer for doing good, if that is what God wants, than to suffer for doing wrong!

18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in The Spirit.

Psalm 27:14 KJV

Wait on The Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on The Lord.

Prayer:

Romans 10:9, 10 KJV
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation.
