It appears that there is a great falling away occurring as many are denouncing YESHUA, doubting His existence, His divinity, and others outright rejecting the New Testament. This is the time we need to be standing strong in the faith with everything that is going on in the world, because that means we are one step closer to the return of YESHUA and I don’t want to see those who rejected Him or those who once knew Him but denounced Him realize they were wrong. I have already done many messages concerning YESHUA and who He is and I felt led to share another prophecy contained in Isaiah 50.
If you believe in the Old Testament and have rejected the New Testament, I would like to show just from these three verses of YESHUA’s fulfillment of them in the New Testament.
Isaiah 50:4-7 (Septuagint)
“My Master YAHWEH gives Me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word: He has appointed Me early, He has given Me an ear to hear: and the instruction of YAHWEH even YAHWEH, opens My ears and I do not disobey nor dispute. I gave My back to scourges and My cheeks to blows; and I did not turn away My face from the shame of spitting: But My Master YAHWEH became My helper; therefore I was not ashamed, but I set My face as a solid rock; and I know that I shall never be ashamed…”
When we break these verses down, we can see the fulfillment of them in the New Testament from prophecies that Isaiah wrote 700 years before YESHUA became flesh and walked the earth. And what is truly beautiful is that the One speaking in these passages is YESHUA Himself!
Verse 4 Tongue of Instruction
“My Master YAHWEH gives Me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word…”
We actually see this prophecy first mentioned in the Torah which YAHWEH revealed to Moses in Deuteronomy which matches what Isaiah wrote:
Deuteronomy 18:18
“I shall raise up for them a Nabi (Prophet) like you out of the midst of their brothers (Tribe of Judah). And I shall PUT MY WORDS IN HIS MOUTH, AND HE SHALL SPEAK THEM ALL THAT I COMMAND HIM.”
Acts 3:22-23
“For Moses truly said to the ancestors, ‘YAHWEH your ELOHIM shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers (Tribe of Judah). Him you shall hear according to all of what He says to you. And it shall be that every being who does not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the peoples.”
Whoever does not listen to the words of YESHUA will be destroyed because they have rejected the life giving words spoken to Him from His Father YAHWEH! This is the tongue of instruction He was referring to written in Isaiah and we have other witnesses confirming this:
John 12:49-50
“Because I (YESHUA) spoke NOT FROM MYSELF, but the Father who sent Me has given ME A COMMAND, WHAT I SHOULD SAY AND WHAT SHOULD SPEAK. And I know that His Command is everlasting life. Therefore, WHATEVER I SPEAK, AS THE FATHER HAS SAID TO ME, SO I SPEAK.”
John 6:38
“Because I have come down out of the heavens, NOT to do My OWN DESIRE, but the desire of Him who sent Me.”
John 8:28
“So YESHUA said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do naught of Myself, but as My Father TAUGHT Me, these I speak.”
John 14:20-24
“In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who possesses My Commands and guards them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest Myself to him.” Judah-not the one from Qeriyoth-said to Him, “My Master, what has come about that You are about to manifest Yourself to us, and not the world? YESHUA answered him, “if anyone loves Me, he shall guard My word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him. He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. AND THE WORD WHICH YOU HEAR IS NOT MINE BUT OF THE FATHER WHO SENT ME.”
John 3:36
“He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not OBEY the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of ELOHIM remains on him.”
If you don’t obey the words of YESHUA and obey them, then you have rejected the words of His Father YAHWEH Who gave Him those words to speak that lead to ever lasting life.
He has given Me an ear to hear: and the instruction of YAHWEH
John 5:19-20, 30
“Therefore YESHUA responded and said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do naught by Himself, but only what which He sees the Father doing, because whatever He does, the Son also does likewise. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all that He Himself does. And greater works than these He is going to show Him, in order that you marvel. Verse 30 “Of Myself I am able to do naught. As I hear, I judge, and My judgement is righteous, because I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent Me.”
Verse 5 Opens My ears and I do not disobey nor dispute
John 8:28-29
“So YESHUA said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do naught of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, these I speak. And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I ALWAYS DO WHAT PLEASES HIM.” As He was speaking these words, many believed in Him.”
Mathew 26:36-39
“Then YESHUA came with them to a place called Gath Shemen, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zabdai, and He began to be grieved and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My being is exceedingly grieved, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” And going forward a little, he fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I desire, but as You desire.”
Philippians 2:5-8
“For, let this mind be in you which was also in Messiah YESHUA, who, being in the form of ELOHIM, did not regard equality with ELOHIM a matter to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, and came to be in the likeness of men. And having been found in fashion as a man, He HUMBLED HIMSELF and became OBEDIENT unto death, death even of a stake.”
YESHUA being ELOHIM in the flesh never disobeyed nor disputed with His Father YAHWEH, instead He was always obedient and did what pleased Him even unto death and as Paul said that is a matter to be grasped, because we cannot fathom that kind of love that the Creator would die for us.
Verse 6 I gave My back to scourges and My cheeks to blows; and I did not turn away My face from the shame of spitting!
I gave My back to scourges
Mathew 27:24-26
“And when Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but rather an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this Righteous One. You shall see to it.” And all the people answering said, “His blood be on us and on our children.” Then he released Barabba to them, but having YESHUA WHIPPED, he delivered Him over to be impaled.”
Mark 15:15
“And Pilate, wanted to satisfy the crowd released Barabba to them, and having WHIPPED, he delivered YESHUA over to be impaled.”
My cheeks to blows:
Luke 22:63-64
“And the men who were holding YESHUA were mocking Him, beating Him. And having blindfolded Him, they were STRIKING Him on the face and were asking Him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck You?”
John 18:19-23
“Then the high priest asked YESHUA about His disciples and His teaching. YESHUA answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in the congregation and in the Sanctuary, where the Jews always meet, and I spoke naught in secret. Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard Me what I said to them. See, they know what I said.” And when He had said this, one of the officers who stood by SLAPPED YESHUA in the face, saying, “Do You answer the high priest this way?” YESHUA answered him, “If I have spoken evilly, bear witness of the evil, but if well, why do you STRIKE ME?
John 19:3
“And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns and placed it on the His head, and they put a purple robe on Him, and came to Him and said, “Greetings, King of the Jews!” And they SLAPPED Him in the face.”
Shame of spitting:
Mathew 26:65-67
“Then the high priest tore his garments, saying, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? See, now you have heard His blasphemy! What do you think?” And they answering, said, “He is liable to death.” Then they SPAT in His face and beat Him, and others slapped Him…”
Mathew 27:30
“And SPITTING on Him they took the reed and struck Him on the head.”
Mark 15:18-19
“And they began to call out to Him, “Greetings, King of the Jews! And they kept beating Him on the head with a reed and were SPITTING on Him. And bending the knee, they were bowing down to Him.”
Verse 7 But My Master YAHWEH became My helper And I know that I shall never be ashamed
John 8:28-29
“So YESHUA said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do naught of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, these I speak. And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father HAS NOT LEFT ME ALONE, for I ALWAYS DO WHAT PLEASES HIM.” As He was speaking these words, many believed in Him.”
Acts 2:26-36
“For this reason my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad, and now my flesh shall also rest in expectation, because You shall not leave my being in the grave, nor shall You give Your Kind One to see corruption. You have made known to me the Ways of life, You shall fill me with joy in Your presence.’ “Men and brothers, let me speak boldly to you of the ancestor David, that he died and was buried, and his tomb is with us this day. Being a prophet, then, and knowing that ELOHIM had sworn with an oath to him: of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up HA’MASHIACH to sit on his throne, for-seeing this he spoke concerning the resurrection of HA’MASHICAH, that His being was neither left in the grave, nor did His flesh see corruption. YAHWEH has raised up this YESHUA, of which we are all witnesses. Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of YAHWEH, and having received from the Father the promise of the RUACH HA’KODESH, He poured out this which you now see and hear. For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself said, ‘YAHWEH said to My Master, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” “Therefore let all the house of Yisra’el know for certain that YAHWEH has made this YESHUA, whom you impaled both Master and Messiah.”
Acts 13:34-37
“And that He raised Him out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has said thus, ‘I shall give you the trustworthy kindnesses of David. For this reason He also says in another Psalm, ‘You shall not give Your Kind One to see corruption. For David, indeed, having served his own generation by the counsel of ELOHIM, fell asleep, was buried with his ancestors, and saw corruption, but He whom YAHWEH raised up saw no corruption.”
YAHWEH was YESHUA’s helper by strengthening Him to endure the persecution and death for the forgiveness of sins; and YESHUA defeated death by being raised up on the third day and was not put to shame. YAHWEH exalted Him as He now sits at His right-hand, and one day we will see YESHUA coming on the clouds of the heavens and we will see the esteem that He had with the Father before the foundation of the world as He prayed in John 17.
You have to ask yourself, what are the odds of the words that Isaiah wrote 700 years before YESHUA happening exactly as it was written? If YESHUA does not exist, then how was He the One speaking in those verses before He became flesh? That is because the Word of YAHWEH is living and true and His word will always come to pass. So, accept the New Testament as well as the old and give your life to YESHUA and repent if you have not already.
Isaiah 46:10 (Septuagint)
“Telling BEFOREHAND the latter events before they come to pass and they are accomplished together: and I said, all My counsel shall stand and I will do all things that I have planned…”
As always may our Father YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!
