Ironically, The Torah, The Old Testament, In Isaiah, the Prophet, So Much is Foretold of Jesus Showing Up in the New Testament!

See, my servant shall prosper,

            he shall be raised high and greatly exalted.

Even as many were amazed at him--

            so marred was his look beyond human semblance

            and his appearance beyond that of the sons of man--

so shall he startle many nations,

            because of him kings shall stand speechless;

for those who have not been told shall see,

            those who have not heard shall ponder it.

Who would believe what we have heard?

            To whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

He grew up like a sapling before him,

            like a shoot from the parched earth;

there was in him no stately bearing to make us look at him,

            nor appearance that would attract us to him.

He was spurned and avoided by people,

            a man of suffering, accustomed to infirmity,

one of those from whom people hide their faces,

            spurned, and we held him in no esteem.

Yet it was our infirmities that he bore,

            our sufferings that he endured,

while we thought of him as stricken,

            as one smitten by God and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our offenses,

            crushed for our sins;

upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole,

            by his stripes we were healed.

We had all gone astray like sheep,

            each following his own way;

but the LORD laid upon him

            the guilt of us all.

Though he was harshly treated, he submitted

            and opened not his mouth;

like a lamb led to the slaughter

            or a sheep before the shearers,

            he was silent and opened not his mouth.

Oppressed and condemned, he was taken away,

            and who would have thought any more of his destiny?

When he was cut off from the land of the living,

            and smitten for the sin of his people,

a grave was assigned him among the wicked

            and a burial place with evildoers,

though he had done no wrong

            nor spoken any falsehood.

But the LORD was pleased

            to crush him in infirmity.

If he gives his life as an offering for sin,

            he shall see his descendants in a long life,

            and the will of the LORD shall be accomplished through him.

Because of his affliction

            he shall see the light in fullness of days;

through his suffering, my servant shall justify many,

            and their guilt he shall bear.

Therefore I will give him his portion among the great,

            and he shall divide the spoils with the mighty,

because he surrendered himself to death

            and was counted among the wicked;

and he shall take away the sins of many,

            and win pardon for their offenses.

~Isaiah 52:13—53:12

I love the Prophet Isaiah! I love how all is foretold in Isaiah about the birth, life, and death of Jesus Christ! It all really happened and was foretold in advance. The Jewish people were warned and told about what would happen. They knew the Torah, or Tanakh, or Old Testament, yet did not accept Jesus when He came into this world, believe his preaching, healing, and miracles, and then were afraid of Him and His powers since He said He was the son of God, this was blasphemy of the times, so they had Him murdered, crucified on a tree. How sad! Yet, read above in Isaiah, the entire reading shows the affliction of Jesus and what He would go through. How sad! Dying for the wickedness and sin of the people. Had to surrender Himself to death for the sins of humans. He submitted Himself, gave Himself up like a lamb lead to slaughter to die for our sins, all He wanted to do is give us an example of how to live on this Earth, to show love for all, He was the son of God, He had a mission, this was all foretold, yet the Jews never could understand this from Isaiah or accept and welcome Jesus and follow Him. We need to follow Jesus. He is the light, the way, and the truth. The way to Heaven and an eternal life with God when we follow His son!
