Messianic Prophecy! Isaiah 50:6-7

Verse 6; I gave my back to the smiters to be beaten and slain, and my cheeks to them that plucked off my beard: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. Verse 7; For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: Therefore I have set, established and planted my face like a flint, and I know I shall not be ashamed, confounded or disappointed. Commentary: The Prophet Isaiah lived about 800 years before our first Easter! He had a vision of Calvary to come and the Son of God being condemned for the sin of the world! This is good news for us but it did not reduce his pain and suffering on the Cross for our transgressions! The old hymn says, “Burdens are lifted at Calvary!” Most of us do not understand the suffering Jesus went through for us! To be God exempt from suffering yet come to earth to suffer for our penalty of sin! This deliverance is perpetual and eternal! No mortal can do what Christ has done for me! Why? Because mortals are sinners just like me! Satan worked so hard to keep Jesus off the Cross! Turn these stones into bread for you have just completed a 40 day fast! Surely you are hungry? Jump from the Temple Mount! Show off to the world you are God! The angels will protect you! Jesus I offer you all the Kingdoms of this world! Just bow down and worship me! I will give you my political power and authority and you can enslave men! They will be slaves to their own evil deeds! Do not deliver them from me! I want to populate hell with them! I want company! Do not suffer for them they are not worth it! Like Judas they will betray you! Peter denied you! Why sacrifice yourself for this evil bunch? Rather sacrifice them as I do for yourself!  Leave the 99 and save yourself! Easter is about you and me! For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life! Happy Easter! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Messianic Prophecy? Isaiah 54:17

Hebrew Translation: “No weapon that was created against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment with judicial verdict that is rendered by the godless and lawless guilty shall fail. This is the possession and inheritance of my laboring servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the voice of God.” Comment: What stands out to you in this verse? Righteousness is not earned! It is a gift from God! Righteousness was earned by God on the Cross for us! By grace you are saved not of yourselves! Who creates weapons against us? Satan! Our own sin is used by Satan as a weapon against us! That is why Salvation removes Satan’s case against us! This weapon is an inside job! That is why we need a Savior outside of ourselves to save us! A judicial judgment whether by Satan or a human working for him is not the final verdict! The godless and lawless render a verdict against the righteous! That is what happened at the Cross when we all railed against Christ! Crucify Him! Our inheritance and possession is this! As guilty we are rendered righteous by the fulfilling of the law as Jesus took our punishment in death for our sin! What is more priceless than this? The Old Testament confirms the New Testament and the New Testament confirms the Old Testament! We need both because God wrote them both! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Messianic Prophecy! 700 B.C.

Isaiah 50: 6-11 Comment: Isaiah begins in Chapter 50 asking the Jews why should they be surprised that they are in Babylonian captivity? You dug your own grave! The Lord told them they sold themselves into captivity through your own sin! Your mother is put away and you can never pay your creditors! The answer to their yoke of slavery is through a coming deliverer that has the tongue of the learned! This deliverer has given his back to the whip! His beard is plucked out! He has set his face like a flint to his task! He shall not be ashamed! No one will be able to condemn you although you deserve death! Is there anyone who will fear this deliverer? Walk in His light! He will show you the way of righteousness which by yourselves are not able to achieve! If you trust in the work of your own hands you will lie down in sorrow! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Babylon is Fallen! Isaiah 21:9

Isaiah wrote this prophecy between 701-681 B.C. Babylon fell is 539 B.C. The Persian King Cyrus conquered Babylon allowing the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple. Isaiah also wrote many Messianic prophecies about Jesus birth that came to pass hundreds of years later! Babylon was never rebuilt again even though many tried! The accuracy of the Bible is as accurate as the science God created! You can trust gravity and your Bible! There are many more prophecies in your Bible that have not come to pass yet but will such as Jesus second coming to earth! Your Bible is history waiting to happen! Whether you believe the Bible or not it still will come to pass! Don’t be on the wrong side of history with the unbelievers who will be proven wrong! Do not gamble your eternity! Let us not forget that the truth came to us at a great cost including God’s own blood! Isaiah was sawed in half by a timber saw by King Manasseh! As we celebrate Christmas soon remember the price He paid to leave Heaven and come to earth for you! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Remember This When You Vote!

In this politically charged season, we do well to remember that we are not voting for a savior but a servant—one who needs to demonstrate that if he or she has served God faithfully, it is a clear indication that he or she will serve the nation similarly. If you are looking for someone with a Messianic complex, then he or she will simply pave the way for the Biblical Anti-Christ, Satan’s sinister representative, who will lead many away from the truth!

Messianic Prophecy Genesis 49: 9-12

These verses in the Book of Genesis even though written thousands of years ago predicted a coming Messiah through the Tribe of Judah! Verse ten is particularly interesting! The word scepter in the Hebrew means a rod and a tribe. A shepherd’s staff. We are the sheep of His pasture! The word lawgiver means a commander of decree’s! It means to enact laws cut in stone! Jesus was the only one who could live out and keep all the commandments of God because He was God! The word people here means a flock of people comprising the whole earth. Yes, Jews and Gentiles! In verse eleven we see Jesus riding the donkey into Jerusalem! We see the vine and the wine. The last supper and the crown of thorns! Pastor Edward Mote (1797-1874), wrote a hymn that says, “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness!” Pastor Mote’s parents ran a beer tavern in England. They left him in the streets as a boy to grow up. He entered the ministry and became Pastor of Rehoboth Baptist Church in West Sussex for 26 years! The congregation loved him so much that they wanted to give him the church building as a gift! Pastor Mote replied, “I do not want the church but only the pulpit and if I cease to preach Christ kick me out!” Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
