APPENDIX Jesus Christ—The Promised Messiah TO HELP us identify the Messiah, Jehovah God inspired many Bible prophets to provide details about the birth, the ministry, and the death of this promised Deliverer. All these Bible prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus Christ. They are amazingly accurate and detailed. To illustrate this, let us consider a few prophecies that foretold events related to the Messiah’s birth and childhood. The prophet Isaiah foretold that the Messiah would be a descendant of King David. (Isaiah 9:7) Jesus was indeed born in David’s line. Micah, another prophet of God, foretold that this child would eventually become a ruler and that he would be born in “Bethlehem Ephrathah.” (Micah 5:2) At the time of Jesus’ birth, there were two towns in Israel that were named Bethlehem. One was situated near Nazareth in the northern region of the country, and the other, near Jerusalem in Judah. Bethlehem near Jerusalem was formerly called Ephrathah. Jesus was born in that town, exactly as the prophecy foretold! Another Bible prophecy foretold that the Son of God would be called “out of Egypt.” The child Jesus was taken into Egypt. He was brought back after the death of Herod, thus fulfilling the prophecy. In the chart on page 200, the scriptures listed under the heading “Prophecy” contain details concerning the Messiah. Please compare these with the scriptures listed under the heading “Fulfillment.” Doing so will further strengthen your faith in the truthfulness of God’s Word. While you examine these scriptures, keep in mind that those of a prophetic nature were written down hundreds of years before Jesus’ birth. Jesus stated: “All the things written in the law of Moses and in the Prophets and Psalms about me must be fulfilled.” (Luke 24:44) As you can verify in your own copy of the Bible, fulfilled they were

DODATAK Isus Krist – obećani Mesija DA BI nam pomogao utvrditi tko je Mesija, Jehova Bog nadahnuo je mnoge biblijske proroke da zapišu pojedinosti o rođenju, službi i smrti tog obećanog Osloboditelja. Sva su se ta biblijska proročanstva ispunila na Isusu Kristu. Nevjerojatno je koliko su točna i detaljna! Potvrdit ćemo to pomoću nekoliko proročanstava o događajima vezanim uz rođenje i djetinjstvo Mesije. Prorok Izaija prorekao je da će Mesija biti potomak kralja Davida (Izaija 9:7). Isus je doista došao iz Davidove loze (Matej 1:1, 6-17). Mihej, još jedan Božji prorok, prorekao je da će se to dijete roditi u ‘Betlehemu Efrati’ i na koncu postati vladar (Mihej 5:2). U vrijeme Isusovog rođenja u Izraelu su postojala dva Betlehema. Jedan je bio smješten blizu Nazareta u sjevernom dijelu zemlje, a drugi blizu Jeruzalema u Judi. Betlehem koji je bio u blizini Jeruzalema nekad se zvao Efrata. Isus je rođen u tom gradu, baš kao što je rečeno u proročanstvu! Jedno drugo biblijsko proročanstvo navelo je da će Božji Sin biti dozvan “iz Egipta”. Isus je kao dijete bio odveden u Egipat. Tamo je ostao do smrti Heroda, čime je ispunjeno ovo proročanstvo (Hošea 11:1; Matej 2:15). U tabeli na 200. stranici u stupcu “Proročanstvo” navedeni su biblijski reci koji sadrže određene pojedinosti u vezi s Mesijom. Usporedi ih s biblijskim recima u stupcu “Ispunjenje”. Tako ćeš još više ojačati svoju vjeru u istinitost Božje Riječi. Dok budeš čitao ove retke, ne zaboravi da su ta proročanstva zapisana stotinama godina prije Isusovog rođenja. Isus je rekao: ‘Sve što je o meni napisano u Mojsijevom zakonu, u Prorocima i Psalmima mora se ispuniti’ (Luka 24:44). Kao što možeš provjeriti u svojoj Bibliji, zaista se i ispunilo — i to do u najsitnije detalje!
