Isaiah 7-11
I heard a preacher, Adrian Rogers, one day state - "The entire Bible is about Jesus Christ. From the very first verse in Genesis to the last verse of Revelation." I never realized when I first started studying the Bible how much of Jesus there is in the Old Testament, and especially Isaiah. Isaiah 7:14 in our reading today is a prophecy of Jesus. It is referenced in Matthew 1:23 of the New Testament. That's a powerful witness for me of the inerrancy and truthfulness of Scripture. Other references to Jesus are in verses (8:14,15,18)(9:1,2,6,7)(11:1-2,10). That's eleven verses about Jesus, in just four chapters of Isaiah, seven hundred years before He was born! In Isaiah 11:10 is also a prediction of the promised Messiah being available for the Gentiles(all of us). Praise Jesus!
