Concerning The Prophecies About Jesus Christ

Rev Dr Howard Sands 

The Old Testament includes about sixty different prophecies, with more than 300 references, of the coming of the Messiah. It was through the fulfillment of these prophecies that Israel was told she would be able to recognize the true Messiah when He came. The four gospels record several times when Jesus said that He was fulfilling a prophecy of the Old Testament. Luke24:27 records, for example, "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself." And verse 44 notes, "And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and the prophets and the psalms, concerning me."

Here are a few of the pertinent ones. 
A. Prophecies of Ancestry. 
B. Prophecies of His Birth.
C. Names Given at Birth.


Prophecies of Ancestry.
1. Seed of Woman.
prophecy
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
fulfillment
Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Galations 4.4-5 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.
Colossinas 2.15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

2. Seed of Abraham.
prophecy
Genesis 12:7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
fulfillment
Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Galatians 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

3. Descent from Shem.
prophecy
Genesis 9:26-27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Genesis 11:10-29 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: ...begat Salah ...and begat Eber ...and begat Peleg ...and begat Reu ...and begat Serug ...and begat Nahor ...and begat Terah ...and begat Abram ...the name of Abram's wife was Sarai...
fulfillment
Luke 3:23-36 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli ...…………………………...son of Sem ...son of Noe.

4. Descent from Judah.
prophecy
Psalms 78:67-68 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
Genesis 49:9-10 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
fulfillment
Hebrews 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

5. Descent from Jesse.
prophecy
Isaiah 11:1-2 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
fulfillment
Luke 3:23-32 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, ... Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson,
Romans 15:12-16 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. ... the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 1:5-6,16-17 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; ... And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

6. Descent from David.
prophecy
2 Samuel 7:16-17 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
fulfillment

Acts 13:22-23 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.

Matthew 1:18,23 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 24:1-2 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple.

fulfillment

And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

5. Place of Birth.
prophecy
Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
fulfillment
Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
John 7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

a. Mary was living in Nazareth at the time Jesus was about to be born. Travel was very limited, arduous, and uncommon in that time, yet Jesus had to be born in Bethlehem. Nazareth was 112 miles from Bethlehem by Roman roads. This was quite a journey on foot.
Luke 2:1-7 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

b. Getting Mary there on time:
1). "Sir William Ramsay-the noted British chemist and archaeologist, as well as Bible scholar-in 1923 discovered at Ankara, Turkey, a Roman temple inscription which stated that in the reign of Caesar Augustus there were three great tax collections."
* 'All the Messianic Prophecies of the Bible' by Herbert Lockyer. Page 63.
2). The first of these taxes was when Cyrenius was governor. This was in approximately 12 BC. * Smith's Dictionary of the Bible, page 525.
3). "The second [tax] was ordered four years before the birth of Christ; the third, several years after His birth." *Lockyer page 63.
4). "The second special tax...the proud Jews resented; so they sent a commission to Rome to protest about it. ... the commission finally failed ... exactly enough delay was caused ... so that when the enrollment was put in force in Judea the exact time had come for Mary to give birth to her child." * Lockyer page 63.

6. Called out of Egypt.
prophecy
Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
fulfillment
Matthew 2:13-15 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

7. He was in Galilee.
prophecy
Isaiah 9:1-2 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
fulfillment
Matthew 2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee.

8. He was a Nazarene.
prophecy
Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
fulfillment
Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
a. Rod - is netzer - Rod out of the stem of Jessee.

9. A forerunner sent to Cry in the wilderness.
prophecy
Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
fulfillment
John 1:23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.


10. A Forerunner sent to prepare the way.
prophecy
Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
fulfillment
Matthew 3:1-3 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

11. Elijah sent.
prophecy
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
fulfillment
Luke 7:27-28 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

C. Names Given at Birth.
1. Salvation
prophecy
Psalms 9:14 That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
fulfillment
Matthew 1:21-25 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

2. Anointed (the Christ)
prophecy
Psalms 45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Sonship - Growth Patterns to Maturity

Why is it that many Christians are not living to their full potential, partaking of their birthright?

Check the link at the end of this blog to listen to this message delivered by Howard Sands. 
This forms part of a series on Sonship.  

SPIRITUAL GROWTH determines our partaking of the birthright.
1 John 2.12-16

3 Greek Words
in NT. are translated as various forms of spiritual growth
TEKNON:        one born, a child; an infant

NEOS NEANISKOS:     A YOUTH, UNDER 40, a child without the full power of speech;
(Michael Green, "Free to Serve" says, not allowed to be an elder in the Jewish synagogue under 40.

PATER:         father; literal or figurative

3 Stages of Growth
1 John 2.12-14

Little children: (Babes): basically sense conscious, aware that- 
  • their sins have been forgiven           
  • they have known the Father
  • novices in the faith, 
  • they are pardoned and they know it

Fathers: Basically spirit conscious, knowing God intimately
  • you have known Him that is from the beginning (twice)


From the first station to the highest station of stature in the faith that those in the middle may hear and understand both where they have come from and perceive what they must come to:
A place of maturity thru love 1 Jn 2.9-11
A place of purity not loving the world 1 Jn 2.15-17
          
Young Men: basically soul conscious, aware that-
  • victory over Satan is a reality
  • are strong, the word of God abides in you
  • you have overcome the wicked one

You think you know it all but God wants you to draw close to Him.
Warrior spirit must give way to worshiper.
Worship through a lifestyle of love and purity brings maturity.

Satan has 3 areas to tempt you - God has provided a remedy in each area. 
Satan tempted Eve in the garden in 3 areas Gen 3.6 &  she put herself  under authority of Satan. 
There is little wonder Adam said to God “I was afraid and hid myself” when God came to him

3 Varieties of Food
Milk:     1 Peter 2.2
Bread:    Luke 11.11
Meat:     Hebrews 5.13-14


3 Kinds of Relationships
John 12.1-8

Martha:   a servant heart  (a need to do for God) Sacrifice
Martha was previously reproved by Jesus for being troubled with much serving,
she does not leave off serving but serves within his hearing,
Christ does not reprove her this time,
Solomon's servants waited on him in his courts to hear his wisdom

Lazarus: previously raised from dead, sat at table, fellowship
he sat at meat as a monument of the miracle Christ had wrought,
those Christ has raised up, made to sit together with Him Eph 2.5

Mary:     anointed Jesus feet wiped them with her hair,
total surrender, adoration, worship. 

A generous love,
She is ingenious to create an occasion of expense in his service.
(Close to a years wages for a labourer.)
If we truly love him we must be willing to lay out our best for Him.

A genuine love
True love as it does not spare cost so it does not spare pains in honouring Christ,
she did not anoint his head as customary but his feet,
she did not get a servant to do but she did it herself,
she humiliated herself by wiping them with her hair (not caring for tradition – women should have bound hair in the presence of men.)

Considering what Christ has done and suffered for us, we are very ungrateful if we think any service too hard to do or too mean and degrading to stoop to.

A believing love
There was faith working by this love, faith in Christ as the Messiah, the Anointed one.
Matthew Henry said: “Let us pour on him the ointment of our best affections above all competitors, by consenting to Christ as our King we appoint him our head.”
