Prophecies Concerning the Death of Christ.
Isaiah 53 describes the death of Jesus Christ. The Messiah was going to be despised and
rejected by mankind (v3). He was going to take our pain and bear our suffering (v4). He was
going to be crushed for our iniquities, and the punishment that was going to bring us peace
was on Him and by His wounds we are healed (v5). He was going to be oppressed and
afflicted, yet He was not going to open His mouth (v7). It was going to be the LORD’s will to
crush Him and cause Him to suffer (v10). No bones of Him were going to be broken (Ps 34:20). He was
going to be forsaken (Ps 22:1), He was going to be mocked and taunted (Ps 22:6-8), His garments were
going to be divided by the casting of lots (Ps 22:18), He was going to be spat on (Isa 50:6), and was going
to be accused falsely (Ps 35:11).
Prophecies Concerning His Glory
In Isaiah 4:2, the mentioning of the branch of the Lord most likely refers to the glorification of Jesus
Christ. In the same prophetic book, in chapter 63:1, the context of the passage appears to suggest the
Messianic glorification. In reference to the Son of Man, Daniel notes that “And to Him was given
dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him, his
dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be
destroyed” (Dan 7:14 [ESV]). Other NT passages that extensively discuss the glorification of Jesus Christ
include among others, Mark 16:19; Luke 24:51; Heb. 4:14; 9:24; 1 Peter 3:22.
