Does "He shall see see, prolong days" apply to Jesus?

Isaiah 53:10 says of the suffering servant, "He shall see seed, he shall prolong days." Can this apply to Jesus? Let's find out. Answer: According to the words "He shall see seed, he shall prolong days," the suffering servant is to be rewarded for his selflessness in the service of the Almighty by being blessed with children and prolongation of life. These two promises must be treated as a unit, as described in greater detail in Isaiah 65:20-23. Each promise complements the other, highlighting

Did Jesus fulfill the role of the asham, "guilt-offering,"?

Did Jesus fulfill the role of the asham, "guilt-offering,"?

Did Jesus fulfill the role of the asham, "guilt-offering," that's used to describe the suffering servant in Isaiah 53:10: "If he would offer himself as a guilt-offering"? Answer: Can it honestly be said that Jesus, who, in his final statement on the cross, is quoted as saying: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34), willingly offered himself as a guilt-offering? The evidence points to the contrary. Yet, because Jesus died at the time of the Passover festival, t

Does Isaiah 53:10 (If he would ...) apply to Jesus?

Does Isaiah 53:10 (If he would ...) apply to Jesus?

In Isaiah 53:10, God's promises concerning the suffering servant are conditional: "If he would . . . he shall see. . . ." Does this apply to Jesus? Answer: According to the New Testament, Jesus had specific knowledge of his mission on earth and his destiny in heaven. For example, in the Gospel of John, Jesus says, "I . . . came down from heaven" (John 6:51) and "I know where I came from, and where I am going" (John 8:14); in the Gospel of Matthew he told his disciples that he "must go to Jerus

Is it true that Jews interpreted Isaiah 53 as referring to the Messiah before Rashi?

Is it true that Jews interpreted Isaiah 53 as referring to the Messiah before Rashi?

Is it true that Jews interpreted Isaiah 53 as referring to the Messiah until the medieval commentator Rashi explained it as referring to the people of Israel? Let's find out Answer: Christian missionaries claim that it is only with the commentary of Rashi (1040-1105), seeking to refute the Christian interpretation, that the Jews began to refer Isaiah 52:13-53:12 to the entire nation of Israel. This misconception perhaps owes its origin to Edward Pusey, who wrote in his 1876 introduction to The

What did Jesus (allegedly God) give up in dying a human death?

What did Jesus (allegedly God) give up in dying a human death?

As a human being, Jesus certainly had very little. Yet, because he was allegedly God, he could expect, on reassuming his heavenly role, to exercise his power as God. So what did he, in the final accounting, give up in dying a human death? Answer: Christian theology is saying that Jesus gave up a temporary earthly life as a god-man to return to his role in heaven, where, as part of the Trinity, he reigns as God. In Isaiah 53:12, God speaks of the suffering servant of the Lord, who, as a result o

How does the passage of time effect the Christian claim of a "second coming of Christ"?

How does the passage of time effect the Christian claim of a "second coming of Christ"?

How does the passage of time effect the Christian claim of a "second coming of Christ"? Answer: Time makes the Christian doctrine of a "second coming of Christ" lose all credibility. If Jesus promised to come back shortly and the disciples expected so strongly to see Jesus return and establish the kingdom of God and neither event occurred, for what can the church still hope? In essence, Christian theological speculations on the "second coming of Christ" represent nothing more than the systemat

Why do Christians claim there will be a second coming of Jesus?

Why do Christians claim there will be a second coming of Jesus?

Let us find out the answer to the question - Why do Christians claim there will be a second coming of Jesus? Answer: Even according to the New Testament, Jesus did not fulfill many crucial messianic prophecies during his lifetime. He was neither the singular ruler promised nor did he exercise any regal authority. God promises concerning the Messiah, "And David My servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd . . . and My servant David shall be their prince forever" (Eze

Did the delay in Jesus' second coming give further opportunity for people to be "saved"?

Did the delay in Jesus' second coming give further opportunity for people to be "saved"?

Didn't the delay in Jesus' second coming give further opportunity for people to be "saved" by believing in him? Answer: Citing 2 Peter 3:9: "The Lord . . . is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance" some Christian commentators offer the excuse that the delay in Jesus' second coming was granted to give further opportunity for people to be saved. However, this evades the issue of how soon Jesus was supposed to return. In the passages promising a speed
