Are any of these prophecies fulfilled by Jesus?

Then in relation to this topic it is NOT a prophecy fulfilled by Jesus.

Or the authors and marketers of the new religion tried to shoehorn older material into the new mythos called Christianity.

That idea just plain seems really silly to me and I and a few others addressed that concept beginning in Message 49 where I said:

quote:

---

In the Bible, prophecy was a message from God to his people, the people living at the time of the utterance, a celestial dope slap. It was God saying "If you keep doing what you are doing then all hell will break lose."

​

It was not always immediate, but the message was meant to be acted on right then.

​

An example is the story of Joseph and the seven year cycle; Joseph telling Pharaoh that "hey, we are having good times now but they may not last, and unless you put stuff aside now you gonna be hurting then."

​

The idea that God had to leave clues in obscure language with a people that have been dead for thousands and thousands of years for folk today or even in our future is just plain silly. God is perfectly capable of reaching folk today in our own media and those living in the future in theirs.

Why? To what possible purpose? What in the world is a message only available to "those who have ears to hear" worth?And the Bible is not a Prophet, just a book containing stories selected by men, written by men, edited by men, redacted by men, translated by men.

Dear Dawn Bertot, forveryoung and of course, once again, Buz.If you think that there are Old Testament prophecies of Jesus, here is your chance to cite chapter and verse so that we can take at look at them.So far we have already looked at Isaiah 52:13-14 in Message 1...Micah 5:2 in Message 5...Isaiah 7:14 in Message 7...Daniel 9:25 in Message 13...Genesis 49:10 in Message 18...Zechariah 9:9 in Message 19...Jeremiah 23:5 in Message 57...and none have stood up to examination as referring to Jesus.If you wish us to examine some other Old Testament passage you believe is a prophecy of Jesus, simply give us chapter and verse and we can take a look at it.

Jesus never ruled over Israel, not over the Nation, not over the People.Learn to use quote boxes, punctuation and capitalization if you expect anyone to take you seriously.

That is called quote mining, when an author takes a quote out of context and applies it to an unrelated subject.Learn to use quote boxes, punctuation and capitalization if you expect anyone to take you seriously.

But Jesus never ruled Israel.And a contrived fulfillment is commonly known as a Con job.

Child, stop shouting. I'm old but my hearing is still there.It is not the Bible that I am attacking but rather those Christians that seem incapable of reading what was actually written.Have you ever read a Bible. Do you know anything about the history of Christianity or the various Bibles?You do know that the actual name for that Bible is "The Authorized King James Version" and that its purpose was to be politically correct, not be over offensive to either his Roman Catholic or Church of England citizens and to affirm the Divine Right of Kings?Learn how to use the shift key.

I'm sorry but that is simply bullshit.Jesus never ruled over Israel.Sorry Charlie but that is a fact.And no, the British Kings are not heirs to any Jewish throne.You really don't know how they got the Title, "Defender of the Faith" do you.Have you ever read a Bible, studied any history?

Jesus was not named Immanuel.You've never read Isaiah 7 have you? You don't even read the posts you reply to, do you?

Actually, much of the Bible was not written in Hebrew; Greek and Aramaic were the more common languages used.You really don't know anything about the Bible do you?Do you know what a Canon is?Do you know that there is no such thing as "The Bible"?Glad to see you learned to use the shift key.Now, if you want, I will try to teach you a little about Christianity and the Bible.

He was never named Immanuel. And again, you simply misrepresent what the Bible actually says and take material out of context.Here is Jerimiah 23:5-6 from the KJV...

Jeremiah 23:5-6

​

King James Version (KJV)

​

5 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

​

6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness.

---

and Jeremiah 33:15-16 from the KJV...

quote:

---

15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

​

16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.

and no mention of Jesus or Immanuel or Jehovah.And here is Jeremiah 23 and 33 in full so that folk can see the context.

Jeremiah 23

​

King James Version (KJV)

​

23 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.

​

2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.

​

3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

​

4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.

​

5 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

​

6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness.

​

7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

​

8 But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

​

9 Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness.

​

10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.

​

11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.

​

12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.

​

13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

​

14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

​

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.

​

16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

​

17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

​

18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?

​

19 Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

​

20 The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

​

21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

​

22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

​

23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?

​

24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

​

25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

​

26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

​

27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

​

28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.

​

29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

​

30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

​

31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

​

32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.

​

33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord.

​

34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even punish that man and his house.

​

35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

​

36 And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.

​

37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

​

38 But since ye say, The burden of the Lord; therefore thus saith the Lord; Because ye say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord;

​

39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:

​

40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

Pay heed to the warning in Jeremiah 23 because it refers directly to the folk like you that take passage out of context.

Jeremiah 33

​

King James Version (KJV)

​

33 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

​

2 Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;

​

3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

​

4 For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;

​

5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.

​

6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

​

7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

​

8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

​

9 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.

​

10 Thus saith the Lord; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,

​

11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.

​

12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.

​

13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the Lord.

​

14 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

​

15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

​

16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.

​

17 For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

​

18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

​

19 And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,

​

20 Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

​

21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

​

22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

​

23 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

​

24 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

​

25 Thus saith the Lord; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

​

26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

Jeremiah was talking about then current events and there is no reference to Jesus to be found in there.

14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

​

15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

​

16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.

Note the parts that many preachers always leave out." For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings."The child which will be born will be immediate, and during the lifetime of Azah.
