Subject: Isaiah 9:6-7 Coincidence or Prophecy? |
Bible Note: You asked for it honey: Deuteronomy 6:4-5.Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 32:3-6 and verse 18.Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy FATHER that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee? Verse 18.Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. Moses refers to God as the Rock. He says plainly the Rock is their father in verse 6. Since he is the one in verse 18 who has begotten them again he confirms the Rock is their father. Psalms 89:26.He shall cry unto me, thou art my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation. Here we are shown by God himself how he was addressed by David. My FATHER, My GOD, and the ROCK of my salvation. 1 Corinthians 10:1-4.Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea: And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that ROCK WAS CHRIST. Isaiah 43:10-11.Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. God is emphatic that he is the only saviour. John 4:42.And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. We gather from these several verses that God alone is the saviour. Yet the people said Christ was the Saviour of the world. No doubt Christ is God coming as the saviour of his people. Isaiah 44:6.Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts, I am the first, and I am the last; and BESIDE ME THERE IS NO GOD. The same one who says he is the first and the last says, there is no God beside him. He did not know anything about a multi-person godhead. He said I am God and no one else. Revelation 2:8.And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; Yahshua is the one who died and rose again. He claims to be the one who is the only God period. If there is no god except the first and the last nobody else can be God except Yahshua. Many believe Yahshua is merely the second of three persons who are God. They would have him as the one in the middle. Yet he says he is both the first and the last. So if God the father is the first person then Yahshua is God the father. If the Holy Ghost is the third (last) person then Yahshua is the Holy Ghost, because he is the first and last. Isaiah 9:6-7.For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. All Christians agree this is a prophecy of the coming of Christ into the world as the Saviour and ruler. It indicates that this son who is given unto us as Saviour and ruler is in reality the one true God himself. His name shall be called MIGHTY GOD-EVERLASTING FATHER put very plainly God the Father. The Christ is both the child who was born and the everlasting Father! So the mystery of Christ is that he is both the Father and the Son. 1 Timothy 3:16.And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. So my friends when was God manifest in the flesh? Was it not when Yahshua was born the Son of God? That was the fulfillment of the MIGHTY GOD-EVERLASTING FATHER coming in the flesh. |
