A mysterious non-existent prophesy?

I have read every word of the Scriptures from cover to cover, yet I have never found any prophesy that says “Christ died for our sins” according to the Scriptures, “that he was raised on the third day” according to the Scriptures. Perhaps someone can enlighten me. Maybe I just missed this amazing prophecy about the Christ.

    Isaiah 53:8

    = Messiah died for our sins

    Surely our griefs He Himself bore,
    And our sorrows He carried; (Isaiah 53:4)

    [ He died for our sins]

    Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
    Smitten of God, and afflicted.

    ( the Jews wrongly considered God was punishing him for his own sins)
    But He was sinless.)

    5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
    He was crushed for our iniquities;

    ( He died for our sins)

    The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
    And by His scourging we are healed.

    Isaiah 53:5

    6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,
    Each of us has turned to his own way;
    But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
    To fall on Him.

    ( the Father caused all our iniquities (sins) to encounter Him, because all of us have sinned and wandered away to our own selfish, prideful, rebellious ways)
    Isaiah 53:6

    He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
    Yet He did not open His mouth;
    Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
    And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
    So He did not open His mouth.

    Isaiah 53:7

    Yahya rightly called Him the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. (John 1:29)
    He willingly took the suffering and punishment for us.
    He was innocent like a lamb, like a sheep.

    His grave was assigned with wicked men,
    Yet He was with a rich man in His death,
    Because He had done no violence,
    Nor was there any deceit in His mouth. (Isaiah 53:9)

    (Joseph of Arimethea, a rich man, gave Jesus his tomb)

    He suffered for our sins, He was innocent.
    He did not fight back nor have an attitude of vengeance.
    Jesus never lied nor did any deception.

    10 But the Lord was pleased
    To crush Him, putting Him to grief;
    If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,

    (The Son voluntarily and willingly rendered Himself as a guilt offering)
    (The Father’s justice and wrath against sin was satisfied.)

    He will see His offspring, (He will be the first fruit, the first born from the dead, and many will believe in Him and become His followers – “children of God”)

    He will prolong His days, (be resurrected, never to die again)
    And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.

    11 As a result of the anguish of His soul,
    He will see it and be satisfied; (He satisfied the wrath of God)
    By His knowledge the Righteous One,
    My Servant, will justify the many,
    As He will bear their iniquities. (Christ died for our sins)

    12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,
    And He will divide the booty with the strong;
    Because He poured out Himself to death,
    And was numbered with the transgressors;
    Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
    And interceded for the transgressors.

    = “Christ died for our sins”

    Daniel 9:24
    24 “Seventy weeks [ Seventy periods of seven years = 490 years] have been decreed for your people and your holy city,
    to finish the transgression,
    to make an end of sin,
    to make atonement for iniquity,

    (all 3 descriptions about “Messiah died for our sins”; Messiah mentioned twice in verses 25 and 26.)

    to bring in everlasting righteousness,
    to seal up vision and prophecy (no more prophesy or Scripture after the NT is finished)
    and
    to anoint the most holy place.

    25 So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem

    [decree of Artaxerxes, King of Persia for the Jews to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem – 457 BC]

    until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks (49 years) and sixty-two weeks (49 + 434 = 483 years); it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.

    26 Then after the sixty-two weeks (483 – 457 = 26 AD – year of His baptism – time of His anointing = until Messiah the Prince) years later, (cut off = killed, is around 30 AD) the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, (same concept in Isaiah 53:8, shows the suffering servant is the Messiah, and the Messiah will die for sins.

    and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. (after crucifixion, the temple is destroyed in 70 AD)
    And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. (Jesus predicted the coming destruction in Matthew 23:36-39; 24:1-3; 24:15 – says “spoken of by the prophet Daniel”)

    27 And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”

    (destruction of the temple happens 40 years later, in 70 AD)

    One week (one period of seven) = seven years – “in the middle of the last seven years – Christ is crucified – from 26 AD to 33 AD
    or
    the seven year war with Rome – 66 AD to 73 AD – in the middle the temple is destroyed.

  13. A prophecy that was used by the apostles when they first began proclaiming Christ’s resurrection is found in Psalm 16 (see Psalm 16 quoted in Acts 2:25-28; 13:35-37). The first eight verses of this fascinating psalm are best understood as coming from the lips of Christ as He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane just before His arrest and crucifixion. But then He prays:

    “My flesh also shall rest in hope. For You will not leave my soul in hades; neither will you allow your Holy One to see corruption. You will show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalm 16:9-11).

    These verses speak poetically first of His burial, then His descent in the spirit into Hades, followed by His return into His body resting in the tomb before decay could begin, then His resurrection and ascension into heaven to be seated at the Father’s right hand. This verse, incidentally, contains the first of 21 references in the Bible to His present position at the right hand of God the Father.

    Just after Peter made his great confession of the deity of Christ (Matthew 16:16), we read that “from that time forth began Jesus to show unto His disciples, how that He must . . . be killed, and be raised again the third day” (Matthew 16:21; see also John 2:19; Matthew 17:22,23; 20:17-19; 26:32;parallels in Mark; John 10:17,18; etc.).

    32 But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.

    Mark 9:30-32

    32 They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him. 33 “We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said, “and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.

  45. Walter Brueggemann Ph.D., Isaiah 40 – 66 (Louisville: Kentucky, 1998), p. 143, states:

    “There is no doubt that Isaiah 53 is to be understood in the context of the Isaiah tradition. Insofar as the servant is Israel – a common assumption of Jewish interpretation – we see that the theme of humiliation and exaltation serves the Isaiah rendering of Israel, for Israel in this literature is exactly the humiliated (exiled) people who by the powerful intervention of Yahweh is about to become the exalted (restored) people of Zion. Thus the drama is the drama of Israel and more specifically of Jerusalem, the characteristic subject of this poetry. Second, although it is clear that this poetry does not have Jesus in any first instance on its horizon, it is equally clear that the church, from the outset, has found the poetry a poignant and generative way to consider Jesus, wherein humiliation equals crucifixion and exaltation equals resurrection and ascension.”

  46. Dr. Walter Kaiser, Phd, Professor of Old Testament and Semitic languages at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois, and at Gordon Conwell Seminary for many years;
    has correctly pointed out that according to the text, “men would reject the Servant’s message (53:1), His person (verse 2), and His mission (verse 3). But His vicarious suffering would effect an atonement between God and man (verses 4-6); and though He would submit to suffering (verse 7), death (verse 8), and burial (verse 9), He would subsequently be raised to life, exalted and richly rewarded (verses 10-12).”

    Who could Isaiah’s Servant be? Who else but Jesus Christ ever 1) claimed He was the Messiah (Matt. 26:63-65; John 4:25,26); 2) claimed His blood was poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins (Matt. 26:28, cf. Isa. 53:12); and 3) as He predicted, rose again from the grave (Matt. 17:22,23; Luke 24:45,46, cf. Isa. 53:10,11 to validate His claims?

    First, the biblical text itself teaches us the suffering Servant could not be Isaiah or the nation of Israel. The reason for this is found in verse 9 where we are told the Servant “had done no violence, nor was any deceit found in his mouth.” This couldn’t be Isaiah or the nation of Israel. Isaiah himself clearly states, “I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips” (Isa. 6:5, NIV, emphasis added).

    In another place Isaiah confesses, “Our offenses are many in your sight, and our sins testify against us” (Isa. 59:12, NIV). So the biblical text itself proves neither Isaiah nor Israel fits the description of the suffering Servant who had “done no violence, nor was any deceit found in his mouth” (verse 9).

    There is another reason why this passage must be a description of the coming Messiah and cannot be referring to either Isaiah or the nation of Israel. That reason is found in verse 10. There we learn that the suffering Servant gives his life as a “guilt offering,” a “trespass offering.”

    According to the Hebrew Scriptures, a trespass offering must be a lamb without blemish; it must be perfect (Lev. 6:6-7). The life that’s given in atonement for others must be a perfect life. Here again, Isaiah the prophet admits neither he nor the nation of Israel qualifies.

    Finally, proof that Isaiah is speaking of the coming Messiah and not the nation of Israel is found in Isaiah 53:8 where the text states, “For the transgression of my people he was stricken” (NIV). Who are the “my people” spoken about? This must be Israel. But if the “Servant” is stricken for the transgression of “my people,” then the Servant can’t be Israel. This must be the Messiah who will suffer.

    Finally, throughout this passage, the Servant is portrayed as an individual. It speaks of what he has done; how he was despised; how he was rejected, and how the Lord laid on him the iniquity of us all. All of this the Servant did on behalf of “my people.”

    Dr. Michael Brown, Phd. also in Hebrew and OT, agrees.
    see a whole book, “Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus”, volume 3, Messianic Prophesies.

    you are LYING and making things up
    NO RITUAL SACRIFICE

    NO RITUAL SACRIFICE

    10 But the Lord was pleased
    To crush Him, putting Him to grief;
    If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,

    (The Son voluntarily and willingly rendered Himself as a guilt offering)
    (The Father’s justice and wrath against sin was satisfied.)

    THE TEXT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT TEMPLE SACRIFICE YOU JOKER

    THIS INDICATES THE “lord” WAS PUNISHING his sons GUILT

    meaning the suffering servant was himself SINNER

    the suffering servant had to ACKNOWLEDGE his own guilt

    “He will see His offspring, (He will be the first fruit, the first born from the dead, and many will believe in Him and become His followers – “children of God”)”

    so much read into text . why not just interpret it to mean that he would see his biological children?

    “He will prolong His days, (be resurrected, never to die again)
    And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.”

    how LONG did adam LIVE FOR?
    “prolong” does not mean “never to die again”

    11 As a result of the anguish of His soul,
    He will see it and be satisfied; (He satisfied the wrath of God)
    By His knowledge the Righteous One,
    My Servant, will justify the many,
    As He will bear their iniquities. (Christ died for our sins)

    12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,
    And He will divide the booty with the strong;
    Because He poured out Himself to death,
    And was numbered with the transgressors;
    Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
    And interceded for the transgressors.

    = “Christ died for our sins”

    silly. jesus himself says “my soul is deeply troubled even unto death”

    does that mean HE PHYSICALLY died?

    “12Therefore, I will allot him a portion in public, and with the strong he shall share plunder, because he poured out his soul to death, and with transgressors he was counted; and he bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors. ”

    vicarious SUFFERING , NOT atonement

    “poured out his soul to death” does not mean DEATH

    “poured out his soul to death” does not MEAN “died for OUR sins”

  48. “Behold, My servant will prosper,
    He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.

    Isaiah 52:13

    high = resurrection
    lifted up = ascension into heaven
    greatly exalted = seated in glory at the right hand of the Father”

    lol christian. you look at english dictionary create english ideas into your head and then think hebrew IDEAS are corresponding to your english thought

    lol

    this is why it is DANGEROUS to use english dictionary.

  51. 4Indeed, he bore our illnesses, and our pains-he carried them, yet we accounted him as plagued, smitten by God and oppressed.

    5But he was pained because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his wound we were healed.

    6We all went astray like sheep, we have turned, each one on his way, and the Lord accepted his prayers for the iniquity of all of us.

    just went back and read thiscarefully

    notice it didn’t say that the servant who is PERSECUTED saw himself as vicariously suffering “willingly” for OTHERS OR that he is vicariously SUFFERING leave ALONE VICARIOUS RITUAL TEMPLE STYLE ATONEMENT for sins

    jesus, christians and others are TWISTING the text

    it is the PERSECUTORS who are seeing this as vicarious suffering

    i mean think about it this way

    women who get beaten by their husbands for years are bearing their punishment/iniquities, but it isn’t vicarious in any way.

    From the toil of his soul he would see, he would be satisfied; with his knowledge My servant would vindicate the just for many, and their iniquities he would bear.

    well he is getting persecuted so he is bearing them similar to how wife bears her husbands iniquities.

    but it doesn’t seem VICARIOUS in the sense

    “hey, let me willingly take on your sins and SUFFER for them”
    “punish me all you like”
