PROPHESIES OF JESUS THE MESSIAH FOR DECEMBER 16~ ~ Number 7 ~ ~ Teacher ~ ~ Prophesied in Psalm 78:2-4 “I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.  We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.”

Fulfilled in Matthew 13:34-35 ~ ~ “All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them,  that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

“I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”

Number 8 ~ ~ Deliverer and Healer ~ ~ Prophesied in Isaiah 61:1-3 ~ ~ ““The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,
 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

Fulfilled: Luke 4:16-21 ~ ~ “ So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.  And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;  To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.  And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
