Jesus is said to fulfill this prophecy through his death on the cross. [51] The verse from Isaiah 53:5 has traditionally been understood by many Christians to speak of Jesus as the Messiah. [ 34 ] The claim frequently advanced by Christian apologists is that the noted Jewish commentator, Rashi (1040 CE – 1105 CE), was the first to identify ...
Brown notes that in some alternate manuscripts this verse actually contains Isaiah's name. [1] This is the first of ten quotes from the Old Testament that appear in Matthew to illustrate how Jesus was foretold by the prophets. The Gospel of Matthew is far more concerned than the others in proving that Jesus is the Messiah spoken of in the Old ...

With the world's annual celebration of his birth mere weeks away, it turns out one of the most revered figures who ever walked the Earth likely didn't look like the pictures of him.
"The elect" will be "gathered" from every part of the world and "unto Heaven", a reversal of Zechariah 2:10 where God would come and live among his chosen. God rounding up his chosen people is found in many Old Testament books, but none have the Son of Man doing this, showing how Jesus had altered the prophecies about the Messiah. [24]
