Only God can afflict and only God can remove. Messiah has the authority of God to preform healing works that only God alone can accomplish such as healing disabilities. Examples: God applies the disease at will: (Ex 4:5-8; Num 12:10, 2 Kings 5:27); God only can heal the disease as He wills (Num 12:13-15; 2 Kings 5:1-8,5:14-15). |

22 | Ruth 4:12-17 | Gal 3:13 | Descendent of Boaz and Ruth, who are the great grandparents of King David. |
23 | 2 Sam 7:12-13 | Matt 1:1, 1:6, 1:12; Luke 3:31 | “Messiah is descendent of David without a curse – Matthew is Joseph’s Genealogy and Luke is Mary’s genealogy. The significance is in Joseph’s lineage, a man named Jeconiah (Matt 1:12). God cursed Jeconiah (Jer 22:24) who is also called Coniah (1 Chr 3:16-17). The curse states that no descendant of his will ever sit on the throne of David, “For no man of his descendants will prosper sitting on the throne of David or ruling again in Judah (Jer 22:30; 1 Chr 17:11-14)”. Messiah is of the “seed of woman” (Gen 3:15) and therefore not under the curse found in Joseph’s line, though Joseph is an upright man who was redeemed in likeness of the tribe of Levi being redeemed from the “curse” on their tribe’s origin (Gen 49:5-7; Deut 33:8-11). |

38 | Ps 2:12a | Matthew 17:5; John 3:36 | “Kiss the Son” shows God has a Son deserving honor. |
39 | Ps 2:12 (+6-7) | John 3:36, 5:43 (context John 5:14-47) | Combined with (Ps 2:6-7, 12), this Son is the King whom God installs in Zion and who has a special unique relationship to God. His wrath is not something to be desired. (See also Prov 30:4c). |

44 | Ps 22:1 (Ref to Ch 22) | Matt 27:46 | When Jesus quotes the first line, this is traditional Jewish method of making reference to the entire passage, by quoting the first few lines. Because people memorized the Bible back then, the entire passage and context was brought to memory. This is probably why the Rabbis said that Jesus is calling to Elijah (misdirection) and not quoting Psalm 22:1, because the entire Psalm speaks of this moment. They could see Jesus’ intention for people to compare the Psalm with his current execution. |
45 | Ps 22:1a | Matt 27:46 | Messiah will cry out to God, “My God! My God! Why have you abandoned me? Why so far from helping me, so far from my anguished cries?” |
46 | Ps 22:1b | Mark 15:34 | Messiah is forsaken by God. (See also Is 53:4b). (Consider “sent out and divorced” in Gen 3:23-24a). |
47 | Ps 22:6b | Luke 23:21-25 | Messiah is despised. (See also Is 53:3a). |
48 | Ps 22:7 | Matt 27:39-40 | Messiah is mocked by people shaking their heads. |
49 | Ps 22:8 | Matt 27:43 | Mockers will say of the Messiah, “he trusted God, let Him deliver him.” |
50 | Ps 22:9-10 | Matt 1:20-21 | Messiah is dedicated to God’s work from the womb. |
51 | Ps 22:11b | Matt 26:56 | Messiah is abandoned by the disciples. |
52 | Ps 22:14a | John 19:34 | “Poured out like water” Combined context refers to piercing (Ps 22:16) causing internal fluids to pour out (Ps 22:14). Could also reference the “pouring out” of a drink offering. Only during the Great Hossanah feast, on the 7th day of Sukkot, is both water and wine poured out together before God. (See notes on Is 55:1-2). |
53 | Ps 22:14b | Luke 23:33 | Bones are out of joint. When being lifted up to die, hanging by hands and feet will easily disjoint the bones, especially as he pulls upward to breathe placing extra stress on joints to sustain some life. (See also Ps 22:17a, 34:20). |
54 | Ps 22:14c | John 19:33-34 | Messiah’s heart melts like wax. The blood and water running out of the pierced side align with a disorder called “pericardial effusion”. Stress on the heart causing edema (swelling fluids) in the outer sac of the heart muscle. By going upward from the side with a spear, up to 2 liters of water could pour out along with the blood when the heart was pierced. (See also Ps 22:17a). |
55 | Ps 22:15b | Matt 27:48; John 19:28-29 | Messiah will thirst. (See also Ps 69:21a-b). |
56 | Ps 22:16a | Matt 27:38 | Messiah is surrounded by Gentiles “dogs” at his crucifixion. “Dog” is a derogatory term for non-Jews, Gentiles. New Covenant example of metaphor (Matt 15:21-27). |
57 | Ps 22:16b | Matt 27:41-43 | Messiah is surrounded by enemies at his death. |
58 | Ps 22:16c | Luke 23:33, 24:39 | Messiah’s hands and feet are pierced. |
59 | Ps 22:17a | John 19:34, 19:36 | The ability to count all bones implies no divided or broken bones, therefore none of his bones are broken (Ps 34:21), just as the passover lamb (Ex 12:46). (See also Ps 22:14b-c, 34:19-20). |
60 | Ps 22:17b | Luke 23:35a; John 19:20 | People will stare and witness Messiah during his death including piercing. Note: In the future, the people of Israel will look upon this same person, “whom they have pierced” (Zech 12:10). |
61 | Ps 22:18 | Matt 27:35; John 19:23-24 | The Messiah’s garments are divided; lots are divided; lots are cast for his clothes. |
62 | Ps 22:22 | John 15:15; Heb 2:11-12 | Messiah calls these believers, or those who do the Father’s will, brethren or brothers. |
63 | Ps 22:27-28 | Rev 7:9-10 | All nations and peoples of the earth will recall, worship, and serve Yahweh. The Messiah is implied by subject and topic of the chapter and (Ps 2:8) inheritance of the nations. |
64 | Ps 23:1 | John 10:11, 10:14-15 | Good Shepherd’s characteristics. |
65 | Ps 27:12 | Mark 14:55-59 | The Messiah is accused by false witnesses. |
66 | Ps 27:12-13 | Matt 27:42-43 | Messiah trusts Yahweh to maintain faithfulness that he will continue to live and not die under false accusations. |
67 | Ps 30:3 | Luke 24:38-39, 24:46; Acts 13:34-37 | The Messiah’s body will not be subject to decay. Messiah will be Resurrected. (Combined with Ps 16:10a, 49:15, 118:17-18). |
68 | Ps 31:5 | Luke 23:46 | Messiah says “into thy hands I commend my spirit.” |
69 | Ps 34:19-20 | Rom 8:10-11; Heb 4:15-16 | In the context of Messiah’s death, because of his righteousness, God protects him from complete disaster. Consider the parallel, the Passover lamb’s bones are not broken either (Ex 12:46). Note: It is profitable to notice two other prophecies concerning His bones which undoubtedly had an exact fulfillment, although such is not stated in Scripture in so many words. We draw our conclusions from honest inference. (1) Psalm 22:14 “All my bones are out of joint.” Hanging on the cross by the hands and feet will easily disjoint the bones, especially when we remember that the body was fixed to the frame while lying on the ground. (2) Psalm 22:17a “I can count all of my bones.” He was left hanging on the cross naked (John 19:23) and all His bones could thus easily be seen. The extension of the body and the wasting pangs of crucifixion will make the bones more prominent than usual. |
70 | Ps 34:20 | John 19:32-33, 19:36 | None of Messiah’s bones would be broken parallel to the Passover lamb (Ex 12:46). (See also Ps 22:17a, 22:14b-c). |
71 | Ps 35:11 | Mark 14:55-57 | False witnesses come forward. (See also Is 53:7b). |
72 | Ps 38:14 | Matt 27:14 | Messiah will be silent before his accusers. |
73 | Ps 40:6-8 | John 15:12; Heb 10:5-9 | Messiah establishes that obedience is more desired to God than sacrifice. |
74 | Ps 40:7 (context 40:6-10) | Luke 24:44; John 5:39; Heb 10:5-9 | Messiah will say the scriptures were written of him. |
75 | Ps 40:7-8 (context: 40:6-10) | John 5:30 | Messiah comes to do God’s will. |
76 | Ps 40:9-10 | Luke 4:16-21 | Messiah will not conceal his mission from the congregation. |
77 | Ps 41:9 | Mark 14:17-20; John 13:18-27 | The Messiah’s betrayer is a friend whom he breaks bread with. Consider more details about this betrayal: sold for 30 pieces of silver (Ex 21:32; Zech 11:12; Matt 26:15); the money is thrown down in God’s house (Zech 11:13b; Matt 27:5a); the price used to buy potter’s field for strangers’ burial graves (Zech 11:13b; Matt 27:7). (See also Ps 55:12-14; Zech 11:12-13a). |
78 | Ps 45:2 | Luke 4:22 | Messiah speaks with gracious words. |
79 | Ps 45:6a | Col 1:15; Heb 1:8-9 | Messiah is referred to as God. |
80 | Ps 45:6-7 | Luke 1:33; Heb 1:8 | The Messiah’s throne is everlasting. |
81 | Ps 45:7 | Luke 5:31-32; John 5:30 | Messiah will act with righteousness. |
82 | Ps 49:15 | Mark 16:6-7; Acts 2:24 | The Messiah’s body will not be subject to decay as the dead in Sheol are. Messiah will be resurrected. (Combined with Ps 16:10a, 30:3, 118:17-18). |
83 | Ps 55:12-14 | Matt 26:48-50 | Messiah is betrayed by a close friend. (See also Ps 41:9; Zech 11:12-13a). |
84 | Ps 68:18a | Acts 1:9-11 | Messiah will ascend into heaven. |
85 | Ps 68:18b | Luke 12:31-34; John 14:25-27, 15:7-8; Eph 4:7-11 | Messiah will distribute gifts to humanity, both those under his rein and those rebellious his rule establishing a dwelling for God. |
86 | Ps 69:4a | John 15:24-25 | Hated without a cause. |
87 | Ps 69:4b | Rom 4:25, 5:18-19 | “Accused by false accusations by many enemies. “I am forced to restore what I did not steal.” Consider the parallel and contrast in (Is 53:5-6) “he was afflicted for our crimes.” (See also Is 49:7).” |
88 | Ps 69:7 | Matt 26:65-67; John 5:17-23 | Messiah will bear reproach, for God’s sake. |
89 | Ps 69:7, 9 | Mark 14:57-58, 14:64-65 | Zeal for God’s reputation and house causes reproach against him. |
90 | Ps 69:8 | John 1:11 | Rejected by the Jews. |
91 | Ps 69:8b | Mark 3:21; John 7:3-5 | Messiah is refused to be associated with even by his own siblings, children of the same mother. |
92 | Ps 69:9 | John 2:13-17 | Messiah is angered by disrespect toward the temple because of his zeal for the house of Adonai. |
93 | Ps 69:20a | Matt 26:38, 40 | Messiah bears shame and seeks comforting thru companions but finds no one. |
94 | Ps 69:20 | Mark 14:33-41 | The Messiah’s disciples will fail him in his time of need. |
95 | Ps 69:21a | Matt 27:34; John 19:29 | “Messiah has gall offered him as food. Gall is a medicinal poison; poisons have a bitter taste and acids, like vinegar, have a sour taste. This mixture has various English simile terms: poisoned water, mixed drink with serpent poison, drinking viper’s poison (Deut 32:32-33; Jer 9:15, 23:15). Gall is a mixture of liver or gallbladder digestive juice, called bile, possibly mixed with poppy seed opium or wormwood. Gall would be offered to a person as an end to pain, cure illness, or overdosing to kill. Ingesting opium, wormwood, or bile is like taking very bitter medicine. Therefore descriptions of eating and drinking the substances are metaphors for very bitter experiences. (See also Ps 22:15b). |
96 | Ps 69:21b | Matt 27:34, 27:48; Mark 15:23 | Messiah will thirst and be given vinegar / sour wine to drink. Vinegar is an acid and constricts the throat. Vinegar was used for digestive medicine or possibly to suffocate or lower the vocalizations of victims. If myrrh was added to the sour wine vinegar, the purpose is to act as a pain duller, easing the victim’s sense of pain. Myrrh then is used like morphine is today. (See also Ps 22:15b). |
97 | Ps 69:25a | Acts 1:16-20 | The final resting place and family of the companion betrayer will be desolate and uninhabited. This Potter’s Field was used for the burial of foreigners without names. |
98 | Ps 72 entire chapter | Dan 7:27 | The Targum (Judaism’s commentary on Psalms composed by Third Century AD) treats all of Psalm chapter 72 as Messianic. |
99 | Ps 72:1b | John 1:14; Heb 4:15-16, 9:15 | “Your Righteousness” refers to the fullness of the seven fold Spirit of God (Is 11:1-2) and the perfection of graces and virtues without measure, “full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). This qualifies Messiah to be Mediator and Righteous Judge. (Is 11:2; Is 53:11). |
100 | Ps 72:1c | Matt 1:1 | Messiah’s name: “Son of David the King”. |
101 | Ps 72:2 | Matt 28:18; John 5:22, 5:30 | “Right Judgments” refers not to specific Torah Commands already given, but the whole power and authority of his role as King. This explains why the following verses describe how the Messiah rules. |
102 | Ps 72:2-7 | John 5:22-24 | Messiah’s Kingdom subjects possess protection, deliverance, and salvation by Him, and all spiritual blessings in His Kingship (Is 32:17-18; Jer 33:15-16). This evidence shows He is the promised seed (Gen 12:7, 22:18; Gal 3:16), in whom all nations should be blessed (Ps 72:17). |
103 | Ps 72:5 | Rev 21:22-24 | Messiah’s kingdom endures as long as sun and moon, “throughout all generations.” |
104 | Ps 72:6 | Acts 3:19 | Messiah’s authority is like refreshing gentle rains on “cut grass,” that is parched, cracked ground. |
105 | Ps 72:7b | Rev 21:4, 21:27, 22:3, 22:14 | Messiah’s Kingdom is characterized by enduring peace. |
106 | Ps 72:8 | Rev 17:14-15 | Messiah’s kingdom covers the entire world, both Jewish and Gentile nations (see parallel in Zech 9:10). Note: This specific detail (Ps 72:8) cannot refer to Solomon, because his kingdom reached to the Philistine land and the border of Egypt (1 Kings 4:21). When applied to Solomon, it could refer to the land God cut out for Israel described in (Ex 23:31), from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, and the Euphrates River to the desert land. |
107 | Ps 72:9 | Luke 2:8-15; John 10:16 | Worshiped by “desert nomads” also called Shepherds, (this rendering is debated by Scholars). Could also be Gentile nations living in the surrounding desert lands. Could be Gentiles in general living in a figurative wilderness born outside God’s covenant then coming into the covenant. |
108 | Ps 72:10 | Matt 2:1b, 2:11 | Presented with tribute and gifts from foreign kings. Being interpreted as pertaining to the magi [king makers] “from the east” (Matt 2:1). (See also Ps 72:15; Is 60:3, 60:6). |
109 | Ps 72:11 | Rev 21:24 | All Nations and all kings will serve King Messiah willingly (as see in Is 2:2-3). |
110 | Ps 72:12-13 | Matt 1:21b, 9:2-8; Luke 18:35-43; Eph 1:7 | Messiah serves the poor and needy who cannot repay in kind. This could reference a literal or spiritual condition or both. |
111 | Ps 72:14-15 | John 14:13-17; Acts 1:6-8; Rom 8:26-27; Eph 5:20; Phil 2:10-11; Rev 19:11-16 | This can be interpreted two ways. 1) Messiah prays for those who he has redeemed as Intercessor and Redeemer, or those redeemed will pray for the prosperity of their Redeemer. 2) Messiah redeems from violence. Spiritually referring to sin separating humans from God. Physically referring to Messiah as military leader and political redemption. Both are reason for humans to “continually bless him”. (Consider also in association with Ps 72:10; Is 60:3, 60:6). |
112 | Ps 72:16 | John 12:24, 15:16; Heb 13:12 | Corn referring to the kernel seed that starts small and grows to multiple abundance as the grass, likewise are Messiah and his disciples multiplying (according to R. Obadiah Gaon). Growing outside the city, in the land beyond borders, referencing a mixed group of Jew and non-Jew. By comparing this crop to “Lebanon,” it describes the quality of the produce grown. |
113 | Ps 72:16b | Luke 24:47; Acts 1:8 | This field must be outside the city walls, Talmud states the city referred to is Jerusalem because God cares for her specifically. Therefore the disciples growth and multiplication requires being sown outside Jerusalem among the nations (Bab. Talmud: Kethuboth Folio 111b ref. 29). |
114 | Ps 72:17a | Acts 9:15; Heb 4:3b; 1 Peter 1:20; Rev 13:8b | Messiah’s name endures forever. His name is linked to his actions, the Good News of God’s Redemption (Acts 9:15).

Wisdom and Intimate Poetry (138-141)
# | OC ref | NC ref | Summary of Prophecy |
138 | Prov 8:22-23 | John 17:5, 17:24b; 1 Cor 1:24; Col 1:15-17 | This prophecy is debated between Jewish and Christian interpretations. Jewish: Wisdom in Proverbs refers to Torah itself, and therefore God’s Wisdom revealed in Torah was before the creation in (Gen 1:1). Christian: Messiah is from everlasting, for he is the incarnate wisdom of God. Therefore wisdom in Proverbs refers to Messiah. Proposed: The two perspectives can be reconciled if Messiah is not wisdom itself, rather the fullness of the wisdom expressed in the Living Torah. |
139 | Prov 30:4c | Matt 3:16-17; John 3:13-15, 5:43 (context 5:14-47); 1 John 2:22-24 | Statement and question, what is the name of “Son” of God. Consider in connection with (Ps 2:6-7) God’s King has become God’s son and (Ps 2:12) kiss the son / give reverence to the son lest he be angry and you perish). |
140 | Song of Songs 5:16 | John 1:16-17 | Messiah is referred to as the altogether lovely one. |
141 | Song of Songs 5:16 | Luke 4:22, 24:47 | Gracious words and most desirable are presented to the daughters of Jerusalem. (See also Ps 45:2). (Reason for fulfillment: Example of gracious words given to Jerusalem specifically.) |
Major Prophets (Prophets who wrote alot) (142-312) (Isaiah only 142-301)
# | OC ref | NC ref | Summary of Prophecy |
142 | Is 2:2-4 | Luke 24:47; 1 Cor 15:24-28 (See also Ps 2:6-7, 2:12, 8:6; Is 9:6-7; Mic 4:1-3) | Messiah establishes an ideal and everlasting kingdom in Jerusalem that brings world-wide rein and peace. The nations come to submit to King Messiah’s authority and repent of war. |
143 | Is 6:9-10 | John 12:37-41 | Seeing the glory of Messiah, Israel still hardens her heart and refuses to acknowledge him. |
144 | Is 6:9-10 | Matt 13:13-17 | Messiah speaks in parables so people hear but never understand; see but never perceive. |
145 | Is 7:14a | Luke 1:27, 1:30-31 | A virgin female will conceive and bear a son, (combined with Gen 3:15, seed of a woman). Note on textual variations: Why a virgin female as compared to young female? In the Masoretic text, the prophecy in Isaiah uses the Hebrew word almah [a woman of marriageable age] whereas the verse in Matthew uses the Greek word parthenos [a pure virgin or woman of marriageable age]. However the translators of the Greek Septuagint, which is older than any existing Hebrew text, used parthenos in their translation of the verse in Isaiah. Therefore the translators understood the verse in Isaiah as referring to a literal virgin birth. |
146 | Is 7:14b | Matt 1:21-23; Col 2:9; Rev 21:3 | The name Immanu'el, meaning [God with us]. This is an attributed title, not his literal name. Consider (Is 8:7-8) also uses the Hebrew Immanu'el. |
147 | Is 7:14c | John 12:45; Col 2:9 | Messiah is equal to God who sent him; Immanu'el, God with us. |
148 | Is 8:14-15 | Matt 21:43-44; 1 Peter 2:8 | Messiah is a “stumbling stone, a rock of offense” for Israel. |
149 | Is 9:1b-2 | Matt 4:12b-13; Mark 1:14b | Messiah comes from Galilee and shines upon the Galil-of-the-Goyim. Meaning his ministry begins in the Galilee and the region includes Gentiles living there. (Mark explains although Jesus had traveled previously, He did not begin His ministry until entering Galilee, his hometown region.) |
150 | Is 9:3 | John 10:16; Rom 11:25; Eph 2:14 | The light that comes to the Gentiles also enlarges Israel. (See also context of Is 9:1-2, and Is 42:6d, 49:6). |
151 | Is 9:1b-3 | Luke 2:31-32; 1 Cor 9:19-21; Rom 3:1-2, 3:29-31; Eph 2:14-19 | Messiah is a light to the Gentiles and this causes Israel to increase and have joy as in harvest. Combined: Messiah bears spiritual light in the darkness of those born outside Torah covenant, counting them as increasing the nation of Israel. (See also Is 42:6d, 49:6). |
152 | Is 9:6a | Luke 2:11-12a | “a child is born,” Messiah is born as a human being, a man-child. |
153 | Is 9:6a | Luke 2:11; John 1:14 | “a child is born,” Messiah has a human body of flesh and bone. |
154 | Is 9:6a | Luke 1:32, 1:35c; John 1:34; Col 2:9 | Messiah is the Son of God, “a son is given”. Hence Messiah has divine origins. |
155 | Is 9:6b | Luke 4:22; John 7:46 | Messiah is called Wonderful Counselor, by Christian interpretation this is one name. Judaism sees this as two names. “Wonderful” as in (Judges 13:18) by the Angel of Yahweh to Judge Manoah. Also “Counselor,” one who brings wisdom from God like Moses and Aaron did (Num 11:16-17). |
156 | Is 9:6b | Matt 14:27; Acts 4:12 | Messiah is called “Mighty God,” for he is mighty and strong, able to save. Hebrew Gibbor means Mighty or Strong. |
157 | Is 9:6b | John 5:19, 5:30, 12:49-50; Rev 1:18 | Messiah is everlasting with the authority of his father (Yahweh and ancestor David). Now the Hebrew idiom “Eternal Father” in the context of a ruler on David’s throne (Is 9:7). Eternal father could mean “The ruler with authority to pass on or deny access to eternal life”. |
158 | Is 9:6b | John 12:49-50; Col 1:19-20 | Messiah is the “Prince of Peace”. This role can be understood as “The chief leader of the people establishing a peaceful covenant relationship with God”. |
159 | Is 9:6a, 7 | Luke 1:32 | Messiah comes to bear the responsibility as the prophesied heir who establishes the everlasting kingdom as the heir to the throne of David. |
160 | Is 9:7 | Luke 1:32-33, 17:20-21; Eph 1:21 | Messiah son of David establishes a kingdom and rule that is over all and establishes righteousness and justice in accordance with Adonai, God of heaven’s Armies. (Also see Is 16:5; Dan 2:44). Note: In the Blessing of Aaron (Num 6:26), “God will give you peace,” this is called the peace of the Kingdom of David. (See also Is 16:5). |
161 | Is 11:1 | Luke 3:32 | Messiah is a descendant of Jesse. (This is one specific family within the entire tribe of Judah). (See also Is 11:10a). |
162 | Is 11:1 | Matt 2:22b-23 | Messiah will grow up in Nazareth. This is known because the Hebrew word netzer [branch] is used here. This is the only prophecy that says Messiah will come from Nazareth. (Consider illusion in Is 53:2a). In the parallel fulfillment verse, the Greek word for Nazarene is Nazaphnoe, coming from the Aramaic word for twig or branch. Note on the Greek: The Greek word for a citizen of Nazareth is Nazarethaios. But Matthew uses Nazaphnoe [branch], not Nazarethaios [a person from Nazareth]. The King James Version of the Bible, published in 1611, translates the original Greek word as “a person from Nazareth” regional but modern scholars now believe this translation to be incorrect. The Bible and Matthew both make it clear Jesus was a “citizen of Nazareth,” of Galilee, in Judea. |
163 | Is 11:1 | Luke 2:22-24; Rom 15:12 | “Stump of Jesse” alludes to the household exists but is not in former glory. Therefore Messiah will grow up in a poor family. In Luke 2, the offering described is detailed in (Lev 12:6-8) for the poor woman’s purification after giving birth. (See also Is 11:10a; Ps 132:17). |
164 | Is 11:2a | John 1:32-33; Acts 10:38; Col 2:9; Rev 3:1 | The Messiah possesses the complete (seven) anointing of the Spirit of God upon him. (Consider the purpose of the Spirit, Is 11:2a). Special Considerations: Seven is the number of complete fullness. Note: This phrase is repeated in (Rev 1:4, 3:1, 4:5, 5:6). All attributes listed are associated with “the Spirit of God” in Old Covenant working with humans, therefore we can liken this to the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant because of the sameness. |
165 | Is 11:2a | Luke 2:40 | Messiah has the Spirit of Wisdom (Ex 31:3). |
166 | Is 11:2a | Luke 2:46-47 | Messiah has the Spirit of Understanding (Ex 31:3). |
167 | Is 11:2b | Matt 7:28-29 | Messiah has the Spirit of Counsel (Ex 18:10-14, 19, 23-24). |
168 | Is 11:2b | Matt 8:26-27 | Messiah has the Spirit of Might (Judges 7:18-22). |
169 | Is 11:2c | Luke 4:14-15; John 7:15-16 | Messiah has the Spirit of Knowledge of God (Ex 31:3; John 16:13). |
170 | Is 11:2c | John 5:19, 5:30 | Messiah has the Spirit of the Fear of God. (Deut 6:24, 10:12; Jer 32:38 context of Jer 31:31-33 covenant with a new spirit and a new heart.) |
171 | Is 11:3-4 | Mark 12:41-44 | Messiah has spiritual quickening, meaning discernment, to fear God rather than people, thus making right judgments based on God’s instructions (Lev 19:15). (Consider also Is 42:1c-d). |
172 | Is 11:10a | Luke 2:22-24; Rom 15:12 | “Stump of Jesse” alludes to the household exists but is not in former glory. (See also Is 11:a). Therefore Messiah will grow up in a poor family. In Luke 2, the offering described is detailed in (Lev 12:6-8) for the poor woman’s purification after giving birth. (See also Is 11:1; Ps 132:17). |
173 | Is 11:10b | John 3:14-15; Acts 13:47-48, 26:23; Rom 15:8-9 | Messiah is from Jesse’s household and is a banner and rallying point to the nations, the Gentiles. (See also Is 11:1, 49:6, 60:1-3). |
174 | Is 16:4-5 | Luke 1:71, 1:74-75 | In the last days, Moab will seek Israel for refuge and the throne of the honest judge from David’s line will be established. (See also Is 9:7). |
175 | Is 22:22 | Matt 16:19; Rev 3:7 | Messiah has the key of David (Is 9:7) and final authority to open or close based on his own governing decisions. |
176 | Is 25:8 | Matt 28:5-7; Luke 24:45-47; Rev 1:18 | Messiah defeats and overcomes death; His resurrection is foretold. Also this action removes the reproach of God’s people, that is their sins. |
177 | Is 26:19 | Matt 27:52-53; John 11:25; 1 Thes 4:16-17 | The dead in Messiah will bodily resurrect at the same time Messiah is resurrected from the dead. (Fulfillment is shown in three different contexts.) |
178 | Is 28:16 (15-18) | 1 Peter 2:4-6 | Messiah is the foundation stone and cornerstone set in opposition to darkness and death. (See also Is 25:8; Ps 118:26) |
179 | Is 29:18 | Mark 7:32-35, 10:46b, 10:49-52 | Messiah will heal deaf and blind. (See also Is 35:5). |
180 | Is 35:4 (4-6) | 2 Thes 1:6-8; Rev 22:11-12 (8-12) | With the glory and splendor of God, Messiah brings vengeance and retribution on some and he will save others. |
181 | Is 35:5-6a | Matt 11:3-5; Luke 7:19-21 | Signs of the Messiah include physical healing and restoration. (This is a broad brush statement). |
182 | Is 35:5a | Matt 9:27-30a; Mark 8:22-25 | Blind eyes are opened. (See also Is 29:18-19). |
183 | Is 35:5b | Mark 7:32-35, 9:24-27 | Deaf ears are opened. (Examples includes speech). (See also Is 29:18-19). |
184 | Is 35:6a | Mark 2:10-12 (1:40-2:12); John 5:5-9; Acts 3:2-9 | Lame legs healed. (In the example, this man was lame for 38 years). |
185 | Is 35:6b-7a | Matt 9:32-33; Luke 11:14 | Mute mouth speaks praise. (See also Is 29:18-19). |
186 | Is 35:6b-7a | John 7:37-38 | Rivers of Living Water come from the inner person. (One who was spiritually dry then watered by God’s Spirit). (See also Is 29:18-19). |
187 | Is 35:8 | Matt 7:13-14; Luke 13:23-24 | Pathway for the upright, those who are clean, to walk in, (waters in the desert Is 35:7) and not for those unclean. (See also Is 29:18-19). |
188 | Is 40:3 (3-5) | Matt 3:1-5; John 1:22-23 | A messenger is sent by God to comfort Israel by announcing and preparing a way for the Messiah. (See also Mal 3:1). |
189 | Is 40:3 | John 1:14 | Messiah has the titles of Yahweh and God associated with him (similar to the Angel of Yahweh in Ex 23:20-21). (See also Index: “The Angel of Yahweh). |
190 | Is 40:9b-10a | John 1:14 | Messiah has the titles of Yahweh and God associated with him (similar to the Angel of Yahweh in Ex 23:20-21). (See also Index: “The Angel of Yahweh). |

195 | Is 42:1c | Matt 3:16b; Acts 10:38a | Messiah has the Spirit of God upon him. (See also Is 61:1-2). (See also Is 11:3-4). |

199 | Is 42:4c | Acts 13:4, 14:26, 21:16; Eph 2:17 | The Gentiles / Coast lands wait for Messiah’s instructions. (See also Is 49:1a). |

208 | Is 48:16 | Col 1:15-17 | In all of creation, Messiah participated in and holds it all together. “From the beginning … at the time it happened, I was there.” |
209 | Is 48:16b | John 1:1-2, 17:5 | Messiah is from everlasting just as Yahweh God is eternal. |
210 | Is 48:16c | Acts 10:37-38 | The Messiah will come and bring God’s Spirit along with him. |
211 | Is 49:1a | Matt 28:18; 1 Tim 2:3-6; Eph 2:12-14 | Messiah comes for all people. (See also Is 42:4c). |
212 | Is 49:1b | Matt 1:20-21; Luke 2:11 | Messiah is called to God’s service from the womb. |
213 | Is 49:1c | Matt 1:21 | Messiah was named before his birth. |
214 | Is 49:2 | Luke 12:51; Heb 4:12 | The Messiah’s words are as a sharp sword. (To divide is an idiom referring to his teachings, it will not unite everyone). |
215 | Is 49:3a, 5a, 6a | John 4:34, 6:38; Phil 2:7 | Messiah is God’s servant. |
216 | Is 49:3b | John 8:54-55, 12:49-50 | Messiah is called Israel. Messiah comes from the nation of Israel. Messiah is also called Israel as the patriarch Ya'akov Jacob was renamed Israel (Gen 32:28).

217 | Is 49:3b | Matt 15:30-31; John 12:27-29, 17:1-5 | The work that Messiah does will glorify God. |

The national-political redemption is yet to come at the demise of the anti-Messiah and the establishment of Messiah’s eternal kingdom. (Rev 19:11-21 is describing Ezekiel 38-39 and Daniel 11). Judaism in the days of Yeshua expected political redemption with the Messiah (Luke 24:21; Acts 1:6). |
224 | Is 50:4 | Matt 7:29; Mark 1:27; Luke 4:32, 4:36; John 12:49-50 | The Messiah speaks with knowledge taught to him from God, not from men. |

228 | Is 50:6 | Mark 14:65 with 2 Sam 10:4 | Messiah’s face is beaten according to the Septuagint translation. The Masoretic text reads plucking out the beard. Note: In (2 Sam 10:4), plucking out the beard is a great insult. Both interpretations can be valid as prophecy. |
229 | Is 50:6b | Matt 26:67 | Messiah is mocked to his face. “I did not hide my face from insult”. |
230 | Is 50:6b | Matt 26:67, 27:30 | Messiah is spat upon in his face. “I did not hide my face from ... spitting”. |
231 | Is 50:7b | Luke 9:51 | Messiah’s face is set like flint, steadfast. |
232 | Is 50:8 | Luke 23:2-4; Heb 8:33-34 | Messiah is justified, no negative charges against him are valid. |

234 | Is 50:10b | John 11:9, 12:35-36, 12:46 | Trusting in the servant sent brings light and direction from God. |
235 | Is 52:13 | John 12:27-32; Phil 2:7-11 | Messiah, as God’s Servant, will be highly exalted. |
236 | Is 52:14-15a | Matt 26:67; Mark 14:65; Luke 22:62-64 | Messiah’s appearance is greatly marred, (consider too Is 50:6, 53:5), while bearing the sins of humanity in himself (Is 53:15a). Scripture does not say how his marring is much more than any other human. Consider that his face may be covered in scars that alter and mar his appearance. Yet consider, Yeshua who endured such a beating before death, was recognized by everyone who saw him after the resurrection. (Luke 24:16, 24:31; 1 Cor 15:5-8). |
237 | Is 52:15 | Matt 28:19-20a; Rom 15:20-21; 1 Cor 1:22-24 | Messiah will proclaim a message that is new to the Gentiles. |
238 | Is 53:1 | John 12:37-38 | The Messiah’s own people do not believe he is the Messiah. |
239 | Is 53:2a | Luke 2:7, 2:22, 2:24 | Messiah will grow up in “dry ground,” an idiom for “a poor family”. Luke 2:7 identifies the poorest offering after childbirth being used (Lev 12:6-8). (See also Is 11:1b – Jesse’s tree was cut off at the trunk—not thriving family). (Consider illusion in Is 11:1). |
240 | Is 53:2b | Matt 26:48-49; Phil 2:7 | Messiah appears like an ordinary man. His betrayer identified Messiah in the garden by kissing him, because Messiah was not comely or handsome in appearance. |
241 | Is 53:3a | Luke 4:28-29 | Messiah is despised. (See also Ps 22:6b). |
242 | Is 53:3b | Matt 12:24; Luke 23:10-19; John 1:11, 12:32; Acts 13:47-48 | Messiah is rejected by his own Jewish people, “we did not esteem him”. Yet (Is 49:6 and 60:1-3) says the Messiah’s light draws the Gentiles to Him. |
243 | Is 53:3c | Luke 19:41-44; John 11:33-36; Heb 4:15 | Messiah sympathizes with great sorrow and grief. |
244 | Is 53:3d | Mark 14:50, 14:69-71 | Men would hide their faces from Messiah. |
245 | Is 53:4a | Matt 8:16-17, 9:35 | Messiah bears (removes, heals) our “diseases, sickness, sorrows”. |
246 | Is 53:4b | Matt 27:41-44; John 19:7 | Messiah perceived to be cursed by God. (See also Ps 22:1b, 118:17-18). |
247 | Is 53:5a | Matt 20:28; John 19:34; Rom 4:25 | Messiah is “pierced / wounded for our transgressions.” Note: There is no Bible punishment or law for death that specifically involves piercing; stoning or banishment is more common. |
248 | Is 53:5b | 1 Peter 2:24 | Messiah bears and carries the sins of others. |
249 | Is 53:5c | Rom 4:25, 5:15-18; Col 1:20 | Messiah’s chastening brings us peace (with God). Implied by the context, this peace is in relationship with our Creator not other humans. |
250 | Is 53:5d | Matt 8:16-17; John 17:17-19; 1 Peter 2:24 | “By his stripes we are healed / made whole.” Messiah’s atonement brings wholeness and healing to those in association with him. (This healing could be physical, spiritual or both.) |
251 | Is 53:6a | 1 Peter 2:25 | We have strayed like sheep away from our atonement. |
252 | Is 53:6b | Rom 5:17-18 (Rom 5:6-10, 5:15-21); Heb 9:28; (Also referenced in: 1 Cor 15:3b; 2 Cor 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 2:2, 3:5, 4:10) | Messiah bears the sins for all mankind, like the scapegoat removed from the camp on Yom Kippur [Day of Atonement] (Lev 16:10). |
253 | Is 53:7a | Matt 27:11-14 | Messiah is oppressed and afflicted but does not speak out in his own defense. |
254 | Is 53:7b | Matt 27:12-14; John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:18-19, 2:23 | Messiah, in likeness of a sacrificial lamb, is silent before his accusers. (See also Ps 35:11). |
255 | Is 53:8a | Mark 14:53-65; Acts 8:27-35 | Messiah is confined and oppressed without opposition. |
256 | Is 53:8a | John 18:12-13, 18:19-24 | Messiah is confined and judged. |
257 | Is 53:8b | Acts 8:33; 2 Cor 5:21; 1 Peter 1:18-19 | Messiah is killed / “cut off” as just punishment in place of the people’s transgressions. |
258 | Is 53:9a | Matt 27:38 | By being killed along with other criminals, Messiah is assigned a grave with the wicked. |
259 | Is 53:9a | Matt 27:57-60 | Buried in a rich man’s grave. Evidence: Raymond Brown comments on Roman attitudes to the bodies of the crucified. The Digest of Justinian 48:24 (200 CE) gives two Roman political legal people’s decisions about criminals executed. Ulpian: “The bodies of those who suffer capital punishment are not to be refused to their relatives.” Julius Paulus adds: “Nor to any who seek them for burial.” Ulpian states this might be refused if the criminal was executed for treason. Therefore Yeshua was not convicted of Roman treason, but likely killed for a political motive. (The Burial of Jesus Mark 15:42-47 by Raymond Brown (1988)). |
260 | Is 53:9b | Luke 23:13-15; 1 Peter 2:21-23 | Messiah is innocent, having done no violence or deceit, personally or politically. |
261 | Is 53:9b | Luke 23:14; 1 Peter 2:23 | Messiah’s character is without blame, even when provoked. |
262 | Is 53:10a | John 12:27-33; Gal 1:4; 1 Peter 2:24 | God will afflict the Messiah, in association with bearing sin. |
263 | Is 53:10b | Matt 20:28b; Eph 5:2 | Messiah offers himself as a sin offering. |
264 | Is 53:10b | John 17:1-5; Rom 4:25; Eph 1:16-23; Heb 10:9-10; 1 John 2:2 | God’s desire is fulfilled in Messiah being a sin offering. This end goal is God’s purpose. In context, God pleasure is linked to a sin offering being provided. An atonement, a redemption, and a covering for sin was accomplished through that offering for all people who are associated (see Is 53:5-6, 53:11) bringing God pleasure. Being associated with the sin offering is seen in (Lev 4:4, 4:15, 4:24, 4:29, 4:33). |
265 | Is 53:10c | Luke 24:6-7, 24:46; Acts 2:24 | Messiah is resurrected from death and has life beyond the grave. “he will prolong / lengthen his days”. |
266 | Is 53:11a | John 10:17-18; Gal 1:4; 1 Peter 2:24 | God is fully satisfied with the suffering of the Messiah. By accepting this, it infers the sin offering is accepted. Acceptance of the sin offering is seen in (Lev 4:20). Read in context of (Lev 4:2-7). |
267 | Is 53:11b | Heb 2:17-18; 4:15, 9:28 | Messiah has intimate knowledge of the anguish and suffering of the sin that his atonement is covering. |
268 | Is 53:11b | John 6:38; Romans 6:19 | Messiah is God’s servant. |
269 | Is 53:12a | Matt 28:18; Eph 1:20-22; Heb 1:3 | Because of making his atonement offering, Messiah is greatly exalted by God and reaps rewards. |
270 | Is 53:12a | Luke 11:21-23; John 15:15, Rom 6:11-18, 8:1-4, 8:14-17; Gal 4:3-8; Eph 4:8-9 | “He will divide the spoils.” By being an atonement for many, Messiah is the Redeemer and therefore enjoys the benefits / spoils of this conquest; redeeming people from their former master who rules thru sin to the new Master who is Yahweh. |
271 | Is 53:12a | Matt 16:21-23; Phil 2:8b | Obedient even unto death. |
272 | Is 53:12b | Mark 15:27-28; Luke 22:37 | Messiah is grouped with criminals at his death. |
273 | Is 53:12c | Romans 2:23-26; Col 2:14; 1 John 2:2 | Messiah is the atonement that covers the sins of those who transgress God’s Torah [Teaching]. |
274 | Is 53:12d | Luke 22:32, 23:34; Heb 7:25; 1 John 2:1-2 | Messiah will pray / intercede unto God on behalf of the transgressors. See parallel with Priestly breastplate bearing the tribes names before God (Ex 28:28) and Priest as intercessor (Ex 28:36-38). |
275 | Is 55:1-2 | John 7:37-39; Rev 22:17 | By quotation, Messiah is declaring himself a parallel Feast Day fulfillment. “Every one come who is thirsty” (John 7:37-39) is applied Messiah’s ministry. Note: By quoting the first lines of this chapter, Messiah is referencing the entire chapter (as was a common custom of rabbis of his day because all Jews memorized the whole of Bible books), therefore the entire chapter is used to allude to his Messianic claim and be as a witness to this prophetic fulfillment. Consider: By quoting this passage, the Messiah applied the Tabernacles Water Pouring ceremony and the intention of the ceremony to himself and to the effusion and permeation of the Holy Spirit (Is 44:3). The Holy Spirit is promised to be given by Messiah and even accompanying His ministry. Consider: Bishop Lowth, in 1846, quoted an undefined passage in Jerusalem Talmud, concluding that the song in (Num 21:16-18) is to be sung in the times of the Messiah, possibly at this ceremony. Context: The water is said to be “drawn from the wells of salvation” (Is 12:3), signifying the influences of the Holy Spirit to be given in the days of Messiah. |
276 | Is 55:3-4 | Luke 22:20; Heb 8:6; Rev 1:5, 22:14-16 | Messiah establishes a new covenant, continuing in the same authority as God with King David, and is for a witness and a leader and commander like unto David. (See also Jer 31:31-34). |
277 | Is 55:4-5 | Luke 7:2-3, 7:9 (7:1-10); John 12:27-32; Acts 13:46-48 | Gentiles / Non-Jews will be drawn unto Messiah because of the glory God bestows on him. (See Isaiah 53:12). |
278 | Is 59:15-16 | Matt 10:32-33; Acts 4:12; Rom 8:34 | The Messiah is the only intercessor between God and humans. |
279 | Is 59:16 | Heb 5:8-9; 9:15 | The Messiah is sent from God in order to provide salvation for justice and intercession. There is no other who intercedes. (See also Is 53:8, 53:10). |
280 | Is 59:17-18 | Matt 16:27; Rom 2:6-8; Rev 19:15 | Messiah comes to bring judgment and repays each person according to their deeds. |
281 | Is 59:20-21 | John 14:23-26 | Messiah comes to Zion as Redeemer to remove transgression by placing Holy Spirit upon people and teach God’s Torah [Teachings] in their inner-person. (See also Jer 31:31-33). |
282 | Is 60:1-2 | John 1:9-11, 1:14 | The Light shines with the glory of God, yet darkness covers the people, (lack of understanding). |
283 | Is 60:2 | John 1:26, 1:32-34; 2 Cor 4:4-6 | God will set Messiah apart amidst people who do not recognize or understand (in darkness). |
284 | Is 60:2-3 | Luke 2:30-32; John 1:4-5 | The light of Messiah draws Gentile nations. Messiah is accepted by the Gentiles (Is 49:6, 55:4-5), yet was rejected by “his own” (Is 50:3). |
285 | Is 60:3 | Matt 2:1b-2 | Gentile Kings will seek out the birth of Messiah. (See also Ps 72:10, 72:15; Is 60:6). |
286 | Is 60:6 | Matt 2:11 | Presented with gold and frankincense, the caravans coming from Sheba (northern Africa) will proclaim the good news of the praises of Yahweh! (See also Ps 72:10, 72:15; Is 60:6). |
287 | Is 60:7 | Rom 12:1, 15:16; Heb 13:15-16 | Offering sacrifices to God that are appropriate and acceptable glorify His house. (Historically fulfilled in Ezra 6:9; Spiritually fulfilled by Rom 12:1, 15:16). |
288 | Is 61:1 | Matt 3:16-17; John 1:32-33 | Messiah will have the Spirit of God upon Him to accomplish His appointed works from God. (Consider the purpose of the Spirit, Is 11:2a). |
289 | Is 61:1b | John 8:36, 9:39; 2 Cor 3:17 | Messiah has the anointing to proclaim liberty to captives. |
290 | Is 61:1c | John 8:31-34; Rom 6:16-20, 8:1-4 | Messiah has the ministry to proclaim freedom to prisoners (slaves to sin). |
291 | Is 61:1-2 | Matt 11:5; Luke 4:18-21 | Messiah’s ministry includes preaching the good news to those afflicted and binding the broken hearted. |
292 | Is 61:2a | Matt 4:17; Acts 17:30; 2 Cor 6:2 | Messiah proclaims the favorable time and grace of God. |
293 | Is 61:2b | John 3:16-19, 12:47-48; Acts 17:31 | Messiah brings the time of God’s judgment and vengeance. |
294 | Is 61:3 | Rev 21:3-4 | Fulfilled in the second coming is the establishing of the Messianic Kingdom and giving glory to those who mourned in Zion. |
295 | Is 63:8-9 | John 3:17; Acts 7:30-32 | The Angel of God’s presence is referred to in Exodus and became their Savior from God. Therefore this Savior is sent from God as Servant, Priest, prophet, and later as King to save, redeem, and establish a people unto God. This establishes that Messiah is the Angel of Yahweh. Messiah, as the Angel of God’s presence, acted on God’s directive to save and redeem God’s people (Ex 23:20-21, 32:34 with Is 43:11, 49:6) “for God’s name is in him [the angel] (Ex 23:21)”. Note: In combination, this prophecy is a key pin that identifies that “The Angel of Yahweh” who is also called “The Angel of God” who also shares names and titles with God and who identified with Yahweh. This is in fact the Messiah, God’s Servant at God’s right hand, sent to save and redeem by God’s command. (Is 43:11 – God is the only Savior, Is 63:8, Is 53:4-6 – the Servant who is afflicted and is in association with those in iniquity). Consider: In (Ex 23:21; Is 40:3, 40:9), the Angel shares titles with Yahweh. In (Gen 22:1-2, 22:11-12; Ex 3:2-4, 13:21, 14:19), the Angel of Yahweh is identified when Yahweh is also being identified. Yeshua says he represents Father God and are equal in (John 5:23, 10:30, 14:1, 14:9-11). For a complete list about “The Angel of the Lord” see appendix. |
296 | Is 63:11-14 | Luke 10:9-11; Heb 10:29 | Parallel to Yahweh and Holy Spirit during the Exodus, Messiah brings the presence of Holy Spirit with himself in like manner, but also in a different manner (Matt 28:19-20; John 14:16-17; Gal 5:16). Because of the atonement of Messiah, God has justice and promises to not removing his Spirit, (Hag 2:5). Individuals still can grieve and quench the Spirit (Eph 1:13, 4:30; 1 Thes 5:19; Heb 10:29). |
297 | Is 64:4 | John 14:2; 1 Cor 2:9 | Nobody has seen or heard the things that God has prepared for those who wait for Him. |
298 | Is 65:1 | Acts 13:48; Rom 11:25; Rev 21:24 | Messiah will be sought for and found by the Gentile nations who did not seek him. |
299 | Is 65:2 | John 5:37-40 | Messiah reaches out to rebellious Israel. |
300 | Is 65:17 | 2 Peter 3:13; Rev 21:1-5 | New heaven and new earth will be established. |
301 | Is 65:18-19a | Rev 21:2-3 | New Jerusalem is a source of joy and the people thereof are delighted. |
302 | Jer 7:11 | Matt 21:13 | Parallel, Temple ground was used by merchant robbers who are not repentant. |
303 | Jer 23:5-6 | Luke 1:32-33; 1 John 2:1b-2 | The Righteous Branch from David’s household is given the name “Lord Our righteousness”. |
304 | Jer 31:15 | Matt 2:16-18 | Infants will die. |
305 | Jer 31:30, 31:33 | Matt 26:28; 2 Cor 5:21; 1 John 3:3-6; Rom 3:25-26; Rev 21:27 | “God establishes a new covenant with Israel and Judah, forgiving and removing sin allows them to know God intimately.” |
306 | Jer 31:30-32 | Matt 26:28 | God establishes a new covenant with Israel and Judah, writing his Torah [Teaching] in their hearts. (See also Is 42:6, 56:6-7, 59:20-21, 61:8-9; Jer 32:36-42; Eze 16:59-63, all of chapter 37, 37:23-28). |
307 | Jer 33:14-16 | John 5:22-24, 5:29; Rom 3:25; Rev 19:11 | The descendant of David is “Branch of Righteousness” and fulfills God’s good promises, establishing justice and righteousness and peace. The name to describe Jerusalem under his authority is “Yahweh Our righteousness”. |
308 | Eze 34:4 | Matt 9:35 | The Shepherds, leader teachers, of Israel do not tend to their own people. |
309 | Eze 34:5 | Matt 9:36 | Unfit leaders means the people have no shepherd. |
310 | Eze 34:23-24 | John 10:11 | God will raise up a person representing David to shepherd his people, He is a Shepard and Prince before God. |
311 | Eze 37:24-25 | Luke 1:32-33; John 14:12-14, 14:21; Heb 8:10 | Messiah son of David will be the Shepard Leader Ruler teaching God’s people to live holy by God’s instructions. |
312 | Eze 37:26 | 1 Cor 6:19-20; Rev 21:3 | The Shepherd Messiah establishes the covenant where God’s tabernacle is among the people forever. |
Minor Prophets (Prophets who wrote little) (313-401)
# | OC ref | NC ref | Summary of Prophecy |
313 | Dan 2:34-35 | Matt 21:42; 1 Peter 2:4 | A stone cut out without hands, meaning God not humans created this stone. |
314 | Dan 2:44-45 | Heb:1:8 | The Messianic Kingdom is triumphant. |
315 | Dan 7:13 | Matt 26:64 | Messiah ascends into heaven. |
316 | Dan 7:14 | Matt 26:64; Eph 1:20-22 | Messiah is highly exalted. |
317 | Dan 7:13-14 | Luke 1:31-33; Rev 11:15 | The Messiah’s dominion is everlasting. |
318 | Dan 7:18 | Luke 1:33; Rev 2:26 | The Kingdom will be received by the Saints of the Most High. |
319 | Dan 9:24a | Romans 5:6-11 | Messiah comes to make an end to sins. |
320 | Dan 9:24b | Mark 1:24b; 1 Peter 1:15-16 | Messiah is holy. |
321 | Dan 9:25 | John 12:12-13 | Messiah is announced to his people 483 years, to the exact day, after the decree to rebuild the city of Jerusalem. The calculation using 360 days per calendar year, lunar year. |
322 | Dan 9:26a | Luke 23:33, 23:46 | Messiah is killed. |
323 | Dan 9:26b | Luke 22:37; Heb 2:9 | Messiah will die for the sins of the world. |
324 | Dan 9:26c | Matt 27:50-51 | Messiah is killed before the destruction of the temple. |
325 | Dan 9:26 | Luke 24:50-53 | MP: Messiah will visit the second Temple before it is destroyed. The book of Daniel not only speaks of the destruction of the temple, he also provides us with an exact sequence of events: “...The Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself.” And “the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.” (See Dan 9:24-26). According to Daniel: The Messiah comes. (This happened with Jesus’ birth between 6BC - 1 A.D.) The Messiah is cut off, an idiom for killed. (This happened with Jesus’ crucifixion approximately 33 A.D.) Jerusalem and the temple are destroyed. (This happened in 70 A.D). Evidence: According to New Covenant, the Apostles worshiped in the Temple after the Messiah ascended into Heaven. Proof that Rabbi Yeshua Messiah died before the Temple was destroyed. Rabbi Yeshua teaches the Daniel prince is coming, likewise the Messiah’s death (John 12:31-33, 14:30). Details concerning the context Daniel’s prophecies are seen in (Matt 24:1-31). Daniel says, “the people of the prince” will destroy the temple; there are multiple Legions. Titus called Roman Legion 12, a people based from Syria and Asia Minor (the middle east); according to (Josephus WotJ: Book 3, Ch1, Par3). The king of Arabia Malchus sent his military (Josephus WotJ: Book3, Ch4, Par20). The standard Roman Legions 3, 5, 10, 15, and 18 are available too. The point is, the people prophesied are not definitive Roman but could be from a couple select Middle Eastern nations. The temple was destroyed at 70 CE. |
326 | Dan 10:5-6 | Rev 1:13-16 | A description of a vision of the Messiah in a glorified state is given. |
327 | Hos 2:23 | Rom 9:24-26; 1 Peter 2:10 | The Lord restores His people, both Jew and Gentile, into His own land of Israel. |
328 | Hos 3:5 | Rom 11:11-15 | The children of Israel return and seek the Lord. |
329 | Hos 3:4-5 | Matt 23:38-39; Rom 11:25-29 | National Israel will be without the Temple sacrifice, without Levites ministering, and without foreign deities for a period of time. At the end of this age, Israel will repent, return, and seek Yahweh and King Messiah descendant of David. |
330 | Hos 6:2 | 1 Cor 15:3-5 | Messiah resurrects from the dead. Three days represents 3 days of 24 hours, and three 1000 year days. |
331 | Hos 11:1 | Matt 2:13-15 | Messiah is the Son of God. |
332 | Hos 11:1 | Matt 2:19-21 | Messiah is called out of Egypt. True, Israel is referenced, but the singular use of “son” is Messianic. This is a double reference of my son and my children is two different references that are parallel to each other. (Messiah is taken to Egypt in Matt 2:13-15.) |
333 | Joel 2:28-29 | John 20:19-22; Acts 2:1-4; Acts 2:16-18 | The Spirit of the Lord will be poured out upon all people. |
334 | Joel 2:28-30 | John 5:23-24; Rom 10:8-13 | Messiah will offer salvation to all mankind. |
335 | Joel 2:32 | Acts 2:21; Rom 10:13 | Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. |
336 | Joel 2:32 | Acts 10:5-35; Rom 10:8-13; Titus 2:11-13 | Messiah will offer salvation to all mankind. |
337 | Amos 5:20 | Matt 24:29; Luke 23:45; Referenced in Acts 2:19-20 and Rev 6:12-14 | “The Day of Yahweh” refers to the end of this age characterized by darkness (Amos 8:9). (Also see Is 24:18-23). In Messianic parallel, the earth will grow dark when the Messianic atonement is accomplished. This aligns with the 70th week of (Daniel 9:24). This verse states the purpose of 70 weeks: 1) “to finish transgression,” 2) “to put an end to sin,” 3) “to atone for wickedness,” 4) “to bring in everlasting righteousness,” 5) “to seal up vision and prophecy,” and 6) “to anoint the most holy.” |
338 | Amos 8:9 | Matt 27:45 | God will cause the sky to be darkened in the mid-day. Possible illusion to “The day of Yahweh” and the 70th week of Daniel. Roman Historian Thallus cites Roman Historian Phlegon record that in the time of Tiberius Caesar, at full moon (middle of the Hebrew month), there was a full eclipse of the sun from the sixth hour to the ninth hour. Note: The Hebrew Calendar counts twelve hours from sunrise to sunset. This makes the sixth hour about noon, and the ninth hour near three in the afternoon. Skeptic: An eclipse cannot happen during a full moon. Answer: Scientificly that is correct, and historically this was recorded, so it has to be a miracle or nothing. Note: We do not have evidence to denounce the cited Historians as their books no longer exist. |
339 | Amos 9:11-12 | Acts 15:16-18 | The Lord will restore the tabernacle of David. |

343 | Mic 5:2a | Matt 2:1-6; Luke 2:1-7; John 7:42 | 2.1-6 Messiah is born in Bethlehem Ephrathah. This defines the ancient Bethlehem originally called Ephrath in (Gen 35:16, 19; 48:7; Ruth 4:11). This place was also called Beth-lehem Ephratah (Mic 5:2), Beth-lehem-Judah (1 Sam 17:12), and “the city of David” (Luke 2:4). At the time of Yeshua’s birth, Bethlehem Ephrathah, also called “Bethlehem in Judea” in (Matt 2:5), was a village about five miles south of Jerusalem in Judea.

357 | Zech 6:11-13 | Applying His ministry to us: (2 Cor 5:20-21). Ministry in action; as Priest: (Heb 5:5, 9:12) and as King: (John 18:36-37a; Rev 17:14) | This prophecy is in the names’ literal meaning connected to the prophecy of the sprout and of the crown. He, the Branch, is Salvation and serves as Priest and King. “Put one crown on Joshua [Yah is Salvation] son of Y'hotzadak [Yah is Righteous], the high priest” then prophecy describes “The branch” and his priestly and kingly service. |

This is very interesting considering crucifixion had not yet been devised. Both verses refer to the different reactions of the witnesses: (Ps 22:16) refers to the witnesses who rejected Jesus as the Messiah and rallied for His crucifixion. (Zech 12:10) refers to the witnesses who accepted Jesus as the Messiah and mourned at His crucifixion. (Consider John 19:34-37). |
381 | Zech 12:10a | John 19:34-37; Rev 1:7 | The Messiah’s body will be pierced. |

398 | Mal 4:2 | Luke 8:43b-44 (context 8:43-48) | “The Sun of Righteousness will arise with healing in his wings” refers to Messiah and his covering wings. Seen on the Prayer Shawl, which was a normal part of Jewish outer garments on the day but is now ceremonial. Seen at the corners are the blue tzitzit fringes (Num 15:38-40), this area is called “the wings”. Therefore healing will come thru the corners of his outer garment, and this power will come by God. The blue cords represent blue of heaven and God’s commands and God’s name. |
