 Isaiah 45:23~ ~ “I have sworn by Myself; The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, And shall not return, That to Me every knee shall bow, Every tongue shall take an oath.” (Old Testament Prophesy)

This is what the verse above means…….and what must come true in the future to fulfill it:

Romans 14:10b-12 ~ ~ “For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.  For it is written:

‘As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.’

So then each of us shall give account of himself to God”

More prophesies that came true, this time prophesies of MESSIAH’S RESURRECTION AND VICTORY, from the book by Dr. Michael Youssef, “How to Read the Bible (Like your life depends on it…..because it does!)”

Job 19:23-27, Psalm 16:9-11, and Psalm 118:17-18 all predicted the Messiah’s resurrection;  They were fulfilled by the resurrection of Jesus in Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20.

Isaiah 25:7-8 prophesied that Messiah would destroy death; that was fulfilled in 1 Corinthians 15:54

In 1 Samuel 2:35, Messiah is described as “a faithful priest” who will do the will of God; fulfilled in Hebrews 2:17.

Isaiah 44:3 prophesied that Messiah would pour out His Spirit on His people; this was fulfilled in John 20:22 and Acts 1:8.

Jeremiah 31:31 promised that Messiah would initiate a New Covenant between God and His people;  It was fulfilled in Matthew 26:28.

Again, this is just a sampling of the many Old Testament prophecies that Jesus fulfilled.  In Old Testament times, these prophecies baffled the scribes and religious teachers.  They could not understand how the Messiah could be both a Suffering servant and a conquering King of an everlasting Kingdom.  Only with the benefit of hindsight and the record of the New Testament does it become clear that Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies of the Suffering servant – and He will fulfill the prophecies of the conquering King when He returns.

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.  Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”  Matthew 24:29-31
