Subject: Christians before Jesus came |
Bible Note: chesed, A couple points you make definitely could use some clarification, i.e. scriptural support:-) 1. "A lot of the things that we consider "messianic prophesy" in the OT are not." Could you provide some specific examples? 2. "The first legitimate one that I can think of would be Isa. 53...and who really understood what that was talking about until Jesus fulfilled it?" On what basis would you support this? Christology of the OT goes back to Gen. 3:15- the Protoevangelium. Numerous other OT books contain Messianic Prophesies as well. (cf Hengstenberg- Christology of the Old Testament). As a suggestion I would recommend (if you haven't done so already) read and study Hebrews 11. "By Faith" is the key word, my friend.
