Yeshua....Jesus Christ came as the Lion of the tribe of Judah awakens the sheep to become Lions as His followers. To evangelize the world into His kingdom as free born sons. There is one if not more occasions that the book of Isaiah was read before the priests and the people, one such occasion is in Matthew 4:14 which is Isaiah 9:1-2 of 1-7 which reads: Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first He lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shined. You have multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before You according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For You have broken the yoke of their burden, and the staff on their shoulders, the rod of their own oppressor, as in the day of Midian. For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; But this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given: and the government will be upon His shoulders: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government (kingdom, NT Covenant of Grace) and Peace, there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Then we come to Matthew 8:17 and the words again of Isaiah in 53:4-5 of 1-12 which reads: Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For He (they) shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: they have no form nor comeliness; And when we shall see them, there is no beauty that we should desire them. They are the despised and rejected of men; They are men of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from them as we did Him; they are despised, and we didn't esteemed them nor Him. Surely they have borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem them nor Him as stricken, smitten of GOD, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, they were bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was laid upon them as it was upon Him; and by His stripes we are healed [H7495; repair, X thoroughly, make whole.]. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned every one to his own way; The LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth. For He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare His generation? For He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of His people was He stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; Because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He having put Him to grief: when You shall make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. He shall see of the travail of their soul, and they shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall His righteous servant be justified among many; For He has born their iniquities. Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; Because they have poured out their soul unto death: and they were numbered with the transgressors; Yet He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
In the next few days we shall look at Jeremiah 31, and Hebrews to get a clear picture of our present state and conditions within the New Covenant of promise and how it effects all of humanity, not just Israel as referenced.
