No other event in the Bible is as widely and specifically prophesied than the coming of the Messiah. Despite how many prophecies there are, Jesus fulfilled every single one in perfect detail. His redemptive plan was revealed in the very beginning, and the Psalms prophesy his coming. Isaiah’s depiction of the Suffering Servant also provides detailed foreshadowing of his redemptive plan. Christ's redemptive plan is revealed throughout the Old Testament in the story of original sin in Genesis, the Messianic prophecies of the Psalms, and Isaiah's picture of the Suffering Servant.
The original sin is the greatest tragedy that has ever befallen mankind. Because of Adam’s fall, the entire world has existed in a cursed, fallen state. However, in the

There are multiple prophecies in this passage that directly point to Christ’s death. In Isaiah 53:3 the prophet writes, “He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem” (The Holy Bible). The scorn with which Christ was met in John 15:18 is reminiscent of this verse, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first” (The Holy Bible). Christ reminds his disciples that they should expect scorn, because he too was scorned. Isaiah also predicts that Jesus would be punished in the name of God: “Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted” (The Holy Bible). The cries of blasphemy from religious leaders in his trial before the Cross show that they did it believing that they were serving God. Finally, it was predicted that he would be silent before his accusers in Isaiah 53:7, “He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth” (The Holy Bible). This prophecy was fulfilled in Matthew 27:14, “But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor”
Introduction: We see a book that was often quoted by Jesus and the apostles. A book that was written nearly 700 years before Christ was born. In the Six Chapter of the book of Isaiah, Isaiah gives us a record of his sacred call to the office of Prophet. His calling comes in a time of crisis in the nation. He begins by telling us that it was the year when King Uzziah had died. A king that had reign for over 50 years. Is in that time when God appear to Isaiah, he says (Verse 1) He has a vision. I saw (didn’t hear or read) The Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and His robe filled the temple. The image and the symbolic significance of what Isaiah sees upon here, is the outfit of The King like no other (status symbols).
Original sin leads back to the first two humans put on the newly created planet Earth. These people were named Adam and Eve. God put them in a garden called Eden, and they had the right to eat anything in their inhabitancy, with one minor restriction. Adam and Eve were assigned one tree that bared its fruit, which they could not pleasure their hungry bellies from. Both of them were well aware of this rule set out in front of them, except there became a test before Adam and Eve one day. Eve was all alone in the garden of Eden when a snake appeared and started talking to her. This serpent convinced Eve to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree, saying to her that she would gain god-like powers. God did not make talking snakes though, so it is easy to see that this was an
* No unconditional prophecy has been unfilled. The time (Daniel 9), city (Micah 5:2), and nature (Isaiah 7:14) were foretold in the Old Testament about Jesus’ birth.
Jesus is the pivotal point of the Bible for the Christian worldview. Jesus’s coming as a savior was repeatedly foretold in the Old Testament. In Isaiah 9:6, it speaks of a baby who will be Prince of Peace. Also in Isaiah 53:3-7, it was predicted of the torture Jesus Christ which was for the atonement of our sins.
Albert Wolters, in his article “Fall from Creation Regained: Biblical Basics for a Reformational Worldview,” describes the whole curse of sin in the human existence by the sequence creation-fall-redemption and argues that only God can redeem this currently “worldly” creation corrupted by evil as an external “parasite” in the God´s perfectly-created earth. In the first part, Wolters explains that the original plan of God was to make earth to be very good, but then the original sin corrupted this holy world affecting “creation as a whole.” (53) This was way, sin corrupted human behavior. However, the consequences of fall extend further human behavior because sin also corrupted the non-human things like the arts, science,
“The Day of Doom.” The concept of original sin is one that has survived through many generations and has manifested itself in one way or another in various different religions. In the Puritan faith it is the idea that all others are built upon. Essentially original sin states that every single person who came after Adam and Eve would be born carrying
Soon after creation humankind fell into sin. Romans 3:23 tells us, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Sin is the universal condition of the human race. All people are born with a sinful nature. Sin has many serious consequences for humankind. Sin alienates humankind from God and keeps us from having a relationship with our Creator. Sin provides a sickness that keeps us from becoming the person we should be. People want to live good lives but are forced by sin to fall short. The ultimate consequence of sin can be found in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death.” Having an understanding of the extent and effect of sin is key to developing a worldview. I know I cannot escape the confines of sin. It is my nature as a human being to sin. In his divine wisdom, God also knew that his creation could not keep the original covenant of obedience so he would have to set a new covenant with creation.
The teachings of Jesus focused primarily on the "the kingdom of God" and were usually relayed through parables drawing on familiar images from agricultural life. He rebuked the hypocrisy of some Jewish leaders and taught the importance of love and kindness, even to one's enemies. Jesus' popularity grew quickly, but so did opposition from local leaders. Roman rulers were uncomfortable with the common perception that he was the Messiah who would liberate the Jews from Roman rule, while Jewish leaders were disquieted by Jesus' shocking interpretations of Jewish law, his power with the people, and the rumor that he had been alluding to his own divinity. In the Gospels, Jesus repeatedly suggests to his disciples his end is near, but they do not fully understand or accept the idea. The clearest expression of this is at the "Last Supper," which took place on the night before his death. All four Gospels record that Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples, asking them to "do this in remembrance of me." Christians celebrate this event in the sacrament of the Eucharist, or Communion. On this evening Jesus also predicts that one of them will betray him, which is met with astonishment and denial. But that very night, Jesus' fate was sealed when Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples and possibly the group's treasurer, led Roman soldiers to Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. As they arrested Jesus, the ever-colorful Peter defended his master with a sword, slicing off
Sin has become so overlooked by humanity, that the world has taken the Bible and made it a storybook. They have minimized the effect of sin with false beliefs of Jesus forgiving them even when they refuse to repent or to accept Him. Some have used the Genesis account of sin as a fable, while others have tried to eliminate the Savior Jesus’ part in the saving process. They have not even recognized the need for Jesus who sits beside the Father asking for our
Original Sin, in short was the story on how Adam and Eve got kick out of the Garden by eating the apple. If we continue to look into English religion, God create men first, then create women for the men. Native American had a different idea on how we were created. The Iroquois creation story believed that a woman came from Heaven and a tortoise back was the land we live on. A spirit saw that the woman was lonely and give her three children, two sons and one daughter.
The early beginnings of the Common Era displayed several Jewish expectations of the Messiah that were complex. As compiled in the Dr. Peter Flint, some was expecting the return of Elijah (Mal 4:5-6, Mark 6:15), or even Moses (Deut 18:15-19, John 1:21) and many expected the Messiah to be a descendent of King David, one that would arrive in Bethlehem . Apart from the background of messianic expectations seen in modern Bibles, several sectarian scrolls shed light on such expectations. Four select texts from the Dead Sea Scrolls in Cave 4 helps shed some light into this area of messianic expectations and will aid help answering this question on who was the Messiah.
Jewish tradition passed down the oral and written story of Messianic prophecies for generations. To provide the correlation between the anticipated Messiah and the fulfillment through Jesus, Matthew affirmed prophecies throughout the birth story with two significant fulfillments—Abraham’s promised seed [offspring] and the virgin birth.
During the time of the crucifixion, Jesus was spit upon and hit upon His head. After they mocked him, they took the robe off of Him and placed His own raiment back upon him and then they led Him away to be crucified. Jesus Christ was led away like a lamb going to the slaughter. He did not say anything even though He was being ridiculed and mocked.
The story of original sin takes place in the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve are the only humans on earth at the time God tells them that they could eat from any tree in the garden except one. After a serpent tricked them
Before Adam and Eve’s decision there was no sin or death, because of their actions we now have to deal with both. This brings up the question of where original sin came from. We know that God cannot create evil, so it did not come from Him. He gave man free will. From this man went against God and therefore created sin. Because of this we know have inherited depravity. We can not
