promise number one
After the Serpent succeeded in deceiving Adam and Eve to sin, G-d promised He would send a descendant of Eve to one day defeat evil (Genesis 3:15, Genesis 49:8–12, Numbers 24:15–19).
promise number two
G-d promised Abraham to create a nation of his descendants, and to bless the entire earth through Abraham’s offspring (Genesis 12:3, Genesis 26:4, Genesis 28:14).
promise number three
G-d promised that a righteous descendant of King David would come to redeem the world; this descendent would be both human and divine, a king and a priest (2 Samuel 23:1–7, Jeremiah 23:5–6, Isaiah 9:1–7, Isaiah 11:1–10, Isaiah 42:1–9, Isaiah 49:5–9, Psalm 2, Psalm 45).
promise number four
G-d promised to establish a new covenant based on the intercession of a sinless mediator, dealing with sin once and for all (Jeremiah 31:31, 34).
promise number five
True to His promises, G-d sent Jesus the Messiah, who fulfilled the prophecies by giving His life on our behalf, to pay for our sins (Isaiah 53:5–6). Messiah then lived again, as promised (Psalm 110:1, 4; Isaiah 52:13, Isaiah 53:11–12, Psalm 16:10, Psalm 21:1–7). Finally, G-d promises that Jesus the Messiah will return again to be welcomed by His people, Israel (Zechariah 12:10) and to reign forever (Daniel 7:14, Isaiah 9:7).
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
(Psalm 2:12)
OUR HOPE HAS COME
What’s the big deal with Isaiah 53? Why is this section of the Tanakh called the “forbidden chapter” by some? This chapter contains a vital message from G-d through the prophet Isaiah. We encourage all Jewish seekers to read this passage and consider its implications. To help you, we’ve provided a collection of articles as an introduction to this important, oft-neglected part of G-d’s message to His people. Don’t miss Isaiah’s message!
