John 1:14 tells us,
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…”
Isaiah 55:11, “so
shall my Word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me
empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and prosper in the thing
for which I sent it.”
Isaiah 55:10
indicates that the Word of God will descend from Heaven and give seed to the
sower and bread to the eater. Jesus fulfilled these by coming down from Heaven
and giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater.
Jesus descended
from Heaven (John 3:13-17)
Jesus preached the
words of the kingdom which according to the explanation of the parable of the sower
is the seed. (See - Matthew 13:01-09, Mark 04:01-09, Luke 08:04-08 and Matthew
13:18-23, Mark 04:13-20, Luke 08:11-15).
Jesus gave bread to
the eater at the feeding of the five thousand (Matthew 14:13b-33, Mark
06:33-52, Luke 09:11-17, John 06:02, 04-21);
the feeding of the four thousand (Matthew 15:32-39, Mark 08:01-10); the last
supper (Matthew 26:20-29, Mark 14:17-25, Luke 22:14-23, 1Corinthians 11:24-25).
Isaiah 55:12 indicates the following about
the word, "For you shall go out in joy, and be led forth in peace…” This
was fulfilled according to Luke 2:10-14, “Then the angel said to them, “Do not
be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all
the people. 11 For to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who
is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: you will find a babe
wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was
with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is
pleased!”
When you read or hear the account of the Son
of man descending from heaven…
When you read or hear the account of the
angels bringing the shepherds news of great joy…
When you read or hear the account of the
angels saying, “on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!”
When you read or hear the account of the
Parable of the Sower…
When you read or hear the account of the
Feeding of the Five Thousand…
When you read or hear the account of the
Feeding of the Four Thousand…
When you partake of the breaking of bread at
a remembrance of the Last Supper…
Remember that Isaiah prophesied that when
the Word descended from Heaven all of these things would happen!
