pickledilly Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I am grateful for all that is revealed in the messianic titles and all that will be accomplished in these prophecies about Messiah, but will choose a few from the lesson. Isaiah 9:6 - As Prince of Peace, Christ has already established peace between God and man, and will establish the peace that will reign over the entire earth. Discord, anger, hatred, or enmity in the relationships of man with each other will not be tolerated. How we long for such divine peace in this world! Isaiah 9:7 – As eternal King on the throne of David, He will establish an everlasting kingdom of justice with righteousness that will banish inequity, unfairness, and moral impurity. It will be a wonderful day when unjust people can no longer cause suffering and misery any more. Ezekiel 37:24; Micah 5:4 - As Shepherd, He will be the strong and compassionate protector, provider, and guide right here on earth that will establish security and care for people with genuine concern. Won't it be precious to have Someone we can completely trust to be totally in charge in every practical way! Isaiah 11:9-10 - As the Root of Jesse, His eternal Life will spring up and rise with majesty and glory to fill every inch of the earth so that no creature can deny Him and all will know Him for who He really is. How marvelous is the thought of our world filled with purity and holiness. Micah 5:2-4 - As Ruler of Israel, He will prove completely faithful to His Word and covenant promises as He gathers God's chosen people back to Himself and fulfills every promise He made to them. It will be glorious to see the full vindication of God's integrity and power in an undeniable way before the whole world. What treasured hope we have in the Anointed One of God!

IvoryEagle Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Q2. Which are your favorite messianic prophecies? Which titles from those are dearest to you? Why? One shepherd: They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees." (Ezekiel 37:24) Daniel's prophecy speaks of an "Anointed One" (NIV, ESV, Daniel 9:25, 26), "Anointed Prince" (NRSV), "Messiah" (KJV), who is also called a "prince" or "ruler." THEY ALL REFER TO "THE" NO DOUBT ABOUT WHO IS IN CHARGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanMary Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Q2. Which are your favorite messianic prophecies? One of my favorite books in the Bible is Isaiah, primarily because of some of my favorite prophesies of Jesus! An example I gave on Q1 regarding prophecies which spoke of several time periods of history in the same verse, which led the Jews to overlook Jesus' first coming is in Isaiah 40:10,11. (Verse 11 is one of my favorites. The verses and numbers were added later, so they read it like this was all happening at one time: V10 Behold, the Lord God will come with might, and His arm will rule for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him and His recompense before Him." ( speaking of His second coming. Rev. 22:7,12) it goes on to say in V11 which I especially love: He will feed His flock like a shepherd: He will gather the lambs in His arm. He will carry them in His bosom and will gently lead those that have their young. Which titles from those are dearest to you? Why? My childhood was devoid of affection or warmth and was often violent. My heart turns with joy to the love, tenderness and compassion of Jesus in the shepherd verses, because I know how desperately I need Him and His leading, and reading about and experiencing His tenderness heals my broken placees and the holes in my soul. Another favorite is in Isaiah 9:6, 7. Which speaks of his first coming as a Child, born and as a Son given, then gives the following description of His time on earth and also of His second coming: ,... "the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government there shall be no end, upon the throne of David forever...etc. I love that prophecy because it tells me Who God is...three in One, Mighty God, my Everlasting Heavenly Father, Wonderful, Counselor, my ever present Holy Spirit, Prince of Peace, my beloved Savior.

charisbarak Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Isaiah 9:6 Prince of peace/Messiah When He returns to earth, he will bring true peace!! Cannot wait!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Jerry Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 This is my favorite messianic prophecy. "My servant David will be king over them,and they will all have one shepherd.They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees." This tells me that Jesus is going to be retuning and we will all be at one with him. That Jesus is going to be his one shepherd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarence Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Isiah 53:5,6 is my favourite messianic passage It is my favourite becase this passage was brought to my attention when I first became a Christian, a significant number of years ago now. It speaks of the mesiah's suffering and therefore his great love. He was despised and rejected by man and yet he "took our pain and bore our suffering" (v4). The passage continues, "we all like sheep have go ne astray, each of us has gone astray and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all" (v6). Therefore the terms attributed to the suffering Messiah are my favourites: 'Lamb', 'punished by God' stricken, 'stricken for our iniquities'.

hanks Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Q2. Which are your favourite messianic prophecies? Which titles from those are dearest to you? Why? My favourite one comes from Isaiah 9:6: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” 9:6a describes His humanity - His First Coming. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. Child - bringing joy to the world. Son – the Son of God coming to earth under the authority of God the Father. 9:6b describes His deity - His Second Coming. And the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” The government will be upon His shoulder - He will reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. The rest of the verse describes His personal glories. His name will be called Wonderful - speaks of His Person and Work. Counsellor - His wisdom in government. Mighty God - the omnipotent, supreme Ruler. Everlasting Father (the Father of eternity) - Eternal Himself, He confers eternal life on those who believe in Him. Prince of Peace - the One who will at last bring peace to this troubled world. This prophecy encompasses some of the many attributes of Jesus which I feel describe our Lord very well.

Taz Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Q2. Which are your favorite messianic prophecies? Which titles from those are dearest to you? Why? The Prophecy: Messiah would be seated at God's right hand Psalm 68:18, "You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts among men, even from the rebellious, that the LORD GOD might dwell there." Psalm 110:1, "The LORD said to my LORD, "Sit at My right hand. Till I make your enemies Your footstool." The Fulfillment: Matthew 22:44, "The LORD said to my LORD, 'Sit at My right hand, Til I make Your enemies Your footstool." Mark 16:19, "So then, after the LORD had spoken to them,, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of GOD." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Prophecy: Messiah's throne will be anointed and eternal Psalm 45:6-7, "Your throne, O GOD, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore GOD, Your GOD has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions." Daniel 2:44, "And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. The Fulfillment: Luke 1:33, "And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end." Hebrews 1:8-12, "But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O GOD, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;therefore GOD, Your GOD, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” And: “You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain;And they will all grow old like a garment; like a cloak You will fold them up, and they will be changed.But You are the same, and Your years will not fail.” To meditate on His place at the right hand of GOD the Father is a most delightful thing to do. Knowing that His anointing is forever, we will never need another mediator, another savior, another redeemer. As my Deliverer, He freed me from the prison of sin. As my Mediator, He stands with me before the most Holy GOD. As my King, I can bow before Him and worship Him. I am His and He is mine forever.

Jen Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 It is hard to pick a favorite Messianic prophecy. Some are beautiful and if I had to pick a favorite it would be Isaiah 9:6 or Isaiah 53, however Psalm 22:14 is the one that makes me take pause. What does it take to make your heart like wax? This is what our Savior suffered for us. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 22:11-21 In these verses we have Christ suffering, and Christ praying; by which we are directed to look for crosses, and to look up to God under them. The very manner of Christ's death is described, though not in use among the Jews. They pierced his hands and his feet, which were nailed to the accursed tree, and his whole body was left so to hang as to suffer the most severe pain and torture. His natural force failed, being wasted by the fire of Divine wrath preying upon his spirits. Who then can stand before God's anger? or who knows the power of it? The life of the sinner was forfeited, and the life of the Sacrifice must be the ransom for it. Our Lord Jesus was stripped, when he was crucified, that he might clothe us with the robe of his righteousness. Thus it was written, therefore thus it behoved Christ to suffer. Let all this confirm our faith in him as the true Messiah, and excite our love to him as the best of friends, who loved us, and suffered all this for us. Christ in his agony prayed, prayed earnestly, prayed that the cup might pass from him. When we cannot rejoice in God as our song, yet let us stay ourselves upon him as our strength; and take the comfort of spiritual supports, when we cannot have spiritual delights. He prays to be delivered from the Divine wrath. He that has delivered, doth deliver, and will do so. We should think upon the sufferings and resurrection of Christ, till we feel in our souls the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings. God bless! Jen Psalm 22:19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissioned Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Q2. Which are your favorite messianic prophecies? Which titles from those are dearest to you? Why? The favorite messianic prophecies are: A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel...." (Numbers 24:17) "A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him -- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD...." (Isaiah 11:1-2) "Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David." (Isaiah 55:3) "The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed (māshîaḥ)...." (Psalm 2:2, ESV)) I consider these, among others, favorites because they show the faithfulness of our God, who reveals to His Prophets those things which are to come. We can have confidence in all the promises of God; they too will be manifested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 There is no particular prophecy is far or more than the other. All of the prophecies are my favorite. (Isaiah 11:12), Isaiah foresees the Messiah bringing in a time of peace and rest for God's people. (Isaiah 9:6) The Messiah is called "the Prince of Peace", meaning the one who brings peace. (Isaiah 11:10-12) Isaiah indicates that Messiah's reign will be a time of righteous rule, conquering of enemies, of the regathering of the Jews that have been scattered through exile. There are many others, but too many to put here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Isaiah 9:6-7, For unto us TO US! This Child will come to us to save us....think of that!And what qualities He will have. His power brings peace, not war. Righteousness and justice, not despotism and corruption. And it will last forever!There is an oblique reference in Isaiah 43:18cf....'Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.....Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?"Isaiah Chapter 53 must be the greatest and yet John 3:16 where we learn that God loved usso much. He loves us! Loved us so much that He chose a people, fashioned their history,put them through experiences, sent them prophets and gave them signs of His coming,And He came to them and to us. Jesus, Yeshua, the anointed Son of Man, Son of God,who came to save us by taking our sins upon Himself at the cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Grant Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Q2. Which are your favorite messianic prophecies? Which titles from those are dearest to you? Why? Question 1 by Balaam: 1. "I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel...." (Numbers 24:17 ) 2. Though David's line had been cut off, there was still a stump, and there was hope. "A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him -- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD...." (Isaiah 11:1-2) Question 2 1)Jesus is not seen now, but will be later. He is in my mind, but will be Closer to me later. Jesus will be a star. 2) "A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him -- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD...." (Isaiah 11:1-2) Question 3 Jesus will come from the root of Jesse and he will bear fruit from Jesse’s roots. Jesus will have rest, wisdom, be a great counselor, and have tremendous power, knowledge because he will fear the Lord his father. They are so true and explains some of the things about Jesus.

Barbiemac Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 My favorite messianic prophecy is: The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah My favorite title is "Prince of Peace".

linda bass Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 My favorite Messianic prophecy is Isaiah 9:6-9. The title that means the most to me is "Mighty God."

Lottie Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 The one prophecy that is my favorite is from Isaiah 11:6-9. Where it says that the animals who are natural predators will lie down with the ones that are prey. And that a young child will lead them and a baby will play by a snakes nest. That no animal or human will kill or hurt another anymore. That it will be a time of peace and rest and no one will have to be afraid anymore. It is something I look forward to as this world gets worse and worse. One day peace will come when He comes back and defeats and destroys Satan and his demons forever! Shepherd is most dear to me as I know He will not lead me astray. He will guide me and be with me in my journey and through my trials. He has never left me even though I sometimes forget Him. He tenderly brings me back and carries me just like a shepherd with his sheep. He never gives up on me and will always love me and protect me.

Godswriter Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Isaiah 53 is my favorite Messainic prophecy because it speaks of Christ's sacrifice and how He chose to die for us and take the penalty of our sins upon Himself. Why since it constantly reminds me that I need a Savior and Redeemer for my sins daily who can atone for them since I cannot possibly do it myself. My favorite title is My Beloved. Because He is mine and I am His when I pray I know He will answer me and hear my prayer when I am faithful to Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newwine50 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Which are your favorite messianic prophecies? The prophecies that promise a time of peace. Jesus came to bring peace on earth. He wept over Jerusalem because they didn't know the way of peace. They missed their day of visitation because they were looking for an earthly king. I believe we are still looking for an earthly king and missing the peace that Jesus came to bring. My journey with Jessu began with an intense time of peace. I am wroking on getting back to that place of peace. Which titles from those are dearest to you? Why?Prince of Peace. Because peace is the greatest thing our world needs.
