In
the 8th century B.C.
-Isaiah 49-"6
And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to
raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel:
I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest
be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
7
Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One,
to
him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a
servant
of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship,
because
of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and
he
shall choose thee.
8
Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee,
and
in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee,
and
give thee for a
covenant of the people,
to establish the earth, to
cause
to inherit the desolate heritages;
Isaiah
Chapter 9- "6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government
shall be upon his shoulder: and
his name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counsellor, The
mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The
Prince
of Peace.
7
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no
end,
upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and
to
establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for
ever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform thishing out of his wings
shall
fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel."

1000 B.C.-2nd
Samuel: "Chapter
7
1
And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the
LORD
had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
2
That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an
house
of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
3
And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for
the
LORD
is with thee.
4
¶ And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came
unto
Nathan, saying,
5
Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou
build
me an house for me to dwell in?
6
Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I
brought
up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but
have
walked in a tent and in a tabernacle."
When
the Lord appeared in person, God's local residence was no longer in
an ark in a Temple. The Temple in effect was the Lord himself.
circa
30 A.D.-Matthew
Chapter 8 "20
And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and
the birds of the air have
nests; but the Son of man hath
not
where to lay his head."
circa
30 A.D.-Mark 8
"31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man
must
suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief
priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise
again."
circa
30 A.D.-John 2
"18 ¶ Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign
shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 19 Jesus
answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I
will raise it up. 20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this
temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21 But he
spake of the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was risen from
the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them;
and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said."
Like
an empty obsolete building, the Temple of Herod was not where God
dwelt after
the Lord's ministry. When Jesus was crucified and died, the veil of
the Temple was torn asunder. The old covenant was ended finally and
the new covenant begun.
Matthew
27 "50
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the
ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from
the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;"
CHAPTER 53
1 Who hath believed our report?
and to whom is the arm of the
LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before
him as a tender plant, and as a root
out of a dry ground: he hath no
form nor comeliness; and when we
shall see him, there is no
beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of
men; a man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief: and we
hid as it were our faces from him; he
was despised, and we esteemed
him not.
4 ¶ Surely he hath borne our
griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we
did esteem him stricken, smitten
of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised for
our iniquities: the chastisement
of our peace was upon him; and with
his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to
his own way; and the LORD hath
laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was
afflicted, yet he opened not his
mouth: he is brought as a lamb
to the slaughter, and as a sheep
before her shearers is dumb, so
he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and
from judgment: and who shall
declare his generation? for he
was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my
people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the
wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no
violence, neither was any deceit in his
mouth.
10
¶ Yet it pleased
the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief:
when
thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his
seed,
he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall
prosper
in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail
of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by
his knowledge shall my righteous
servant justify many; for he shall
bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a
portion with the great, and he shall
divide the spoil with the
strong; because he hath poured out his soul
unto death: and he was numbered
with the transgressors; and he bare
the sin of many, and made
intercession for the transgressors."
