What kind of prophecies is Isaiah noted for concerning Christ?

Seven centuries before Jesus' birth, Isaiah prophesied about him: "There has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder." (Isaiah 9:6) Why did Isaiah indicate that Jesus' birth and subsequent role would be so significant? Because Jesus would become a mighty ruler. He would be called Prince of Peace, and there would be no end to peace or to his princely rule. Furthermore, Jesus' rulership would be sustained "by means of justice and by means of righteousness." (Isaiah 9:7) Humans tend to look down on people of little means, even if these poor ones have performed noble deeds. This was true in Jesus' case. Isaiah prophesied about him: "He was despised and was avoided by men, a man meant for pains and for having acquaintance with sickness." (Isaiah 53:3)

Why God chose Joseph smith?

I suppose the best answer is because ancient prophets prophesied of him, and because he was "one of the noble and great ones who were chosen in the beginning to be rulers in the Church of God." (D&C 138:55) Joseph of Egypt prophesied that a man would bring forth a book who's name would be Joseph and who's father would also be named Joseph and that this man would be a decendant of him. This can be found in the Book of Mormon in 2 Nephi 3:6-15 Moses learned that in the last days a man would restore lost scripture. This is in Moses 1:40-41. Isaiah prophesied of Joseph Smith in Isaiah chapter 29. Malachi prophesied of Joseph Smith in Malachi 1:3 The Savior Himself told the Book of Mormon peoples about Joseph Smith in 3 Nephi chapter 21.


Who was the prophet to predict jesus's birth?

Actually it was Jesus Christ who fulfilled the prophet Isaiah's words in Isaiah 7:14. "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel" Immanuel means "God with us". Jesus also fulfilled Moses' promise of Deuteronomy 18:15-18 - the long awaited Messiah.


What did the Old Testament say about the birth of Jesus?

No Old Testament book literally refers to the birth of Jesus. But Burton L. Mack describes a trick that can be used to make any Old Testament book say what you want it to say. By this means, books such as Genesis, Isaiah and Daniel have been made to prophesy Jesus. Mack says in Who Wrote the New Testament that at first the study of a text may not seem to support a traditional Christian conviction, or the answer one hopes to find in the Bible. But with a little ingenuity, one can set up the comparison again with other emphases and make the answer come out right. This trick seems to come naturally when studying the Bible, and Mack sees it happen all the time in the classrooms of the School of Theology at Claremont. The most famous use of the procedure Mack describes was nearly two thousand years ago, when Matthew, a Greek-speaking Jew, was looking for a biblical reference he could use to prove that Jesus was prophesied to be born of a virgin. The Septuagint (An early translation of the Hebrew Bible into the Greek language) incorrectly translated Isaiah 7:14 to say that a virgin would conceive and bear a child. The correct translation would have been "the young woman", and the young woman in question did have a child a few verses later in Isaiah. The author of the Gospel of Matthew relied on this mistranslation to show that it was prophesied that Jesus would be born of a virgin, although the name Jesus was not mentioned.


Was Jesus really an ugly man?

Well, the Bible doesn't exactly say He was "ugly", it just says "when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him." (Isaiah 53:2d) So you might say Jesus wasn't exactly a physically handsome man.


Who prophesied that Jesus would die for the sins of the nation?

John did in the old testamentAnswer:John 11:49-52 - And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish." Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.[NKJV]


Why is Isaiah important in the Bible?

The gospel authors relied on the Book of Isaiah for a number of prophecies about Jesus. The most important of these is the apparent prophecy that the Messaih would be born of a virgin. In Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah prophesied that "the young woman" would conceive and bear a child, whose name would be Immanuel, a prophecy that came true just a few verses later in chapter 8. However the early Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Septuagint, mistranslated this to say that a virgin would conceive and bear a child. In the New Testament, Matthew used the Septuagint Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible to 'prove' that the virgin birth of Jesus had been prophesied. This was a misunderstanding arising from a faulty translation from Hebrew into Greek and may have been knowingly taken out of context. The Book of Isaiah was also important for the Christian understanding of Lucifer, or Satan. The name Lucifer, meaning the morning star, was used in an ironic sense in Isaiah 14:4-22, to refer to the king of Babylon after his defeat by the Persians. This passage was misunderstood by Christian translators, resulting in the widespread Christian view that Lucifer and Satan are one.


What is the story of the 'denial of Peter'?

Peter felt from his heart that he would ALWAYS support Jesus, and would NEVER turn away, but Jesus prophesied that Peter would, infact, deny knowing him when things got tough, and this is exactly what happened. Because of 'fear of man', Peter DID disavow any knowledge of Jesus, and then, was SO sorry for his actions, that he wept bitterly(Matthew 26:31-35, 69-75) . Later, as Jesus had instructed, Peter soon returned with renewed faith, to 'strengthen his brothers'.(Luke 22:32)
