PART II. COME AND LEARN WHY ISAIAH 9: IS NOT JESUS IN OUR BIBLES! The Fulfillment Revealed!

FULFILLMENT AND TRUE IDENTITY OF THE PROPHETIC CHILD OF ISAIAH Chapter 9:6


As we now continue in this chapter, we will search the scriptures to find out which child fulfilled the prophecies of Isaiah 9:6 and Jeremiah 23:6. As we said earlier whoever this person is, he will have to fulfill several distinctive requirements to qualify as an heir apparent to these prophecies such as:
1.   He must be a descendant of David.

2.   He must be a righteous person.

3.   He must be born during the time of the Assyrian Captivity.

4.   Assyria must be defeated during this King’s reign & life time.

5.   Judah & Israel must safely return home from their captives.

6.   Judah & Israel will remain safe during this King’s life span.

7.   He must be heralded by the people with great name attributes and accolades for his accomplishments.

8.   He must acknowledge the fact that Isaiah is prophesying specifically about Him.

Christians tell us that these prophecies are about Jesus. However, the Jews and Muslims proclaim this historical prophecy was about the reign of King Hezekiah. So who is right? 

Well let’s take each attribute and search the bible for the true king that has all of these qualities. This is the only way to see which religion is telling us the truth.
1.   He must be a Descendant of David.

a)    "Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that HEZEKIAH son of AHAZ king of Judah began to reign. 

b.) Twenty and five years old when he began to reign: and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And he did ALL that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that (DAVID) HIS FATHER did." 2ND KI. 18:1, 2

2.   He must be a Righteous person.

a)    And he did ALL that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that (DAVID) HIS FATHER did." 2ND Kings 18:2

b)    And thus did HEZEKIAH throughout all Judah and wrought that which was “GOOD” andRIGHT and “TRUTH” before the Lord “HIS GOD.” 2nd CHRONICLES 31:20, 21

3.   He must be born during the time of the Assyrian Captivity.

a)    13.  Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them. 2ND Kings 18:13

b)    Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, that Sen-nach’-er-ib king of ASSYRIA came up against all the defenced cities of JUDAH and took them.” Isaiah 36:1

 Even the original writer of the prophetic verses 6 & 7 of Isaiah chapter 9, has given us the actual fulfillment of his original prophetic verses during his lifetime as well. 

Isaiah says after the Assyrians invaded the cities of Judah, the prophetic king did something extraordinary: He decided to pray to his God for the destruction of his enemies Assyria!

·        15. And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying… 20.  Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord, even thou only. Isaiah 37:15 &20

So this king knows the power of prayer! He prays for the destruction of the Assyrian king and his armies. Let’s move on:

4.   Assyria must be defeated during this King’s reign and lifetime.

Prophetic scriptures:
                  I.    Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. ISAIAH 31:8

And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem. ISAIAH 31:9
                 
                 II.    Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria: Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. ISAIAH 37:7 


Now Isaiah says that during this king’s reign, the Assyrian armies will be defeated and the rest of the Assyrian armies shall tremble in fear at the ensign of God which is the King of Judah. Isaiah also says that the King of Assyria also die but not during this battle. God is going to cause the Assyrian king to die in his own land. 

Fulfillment Scriptures:
                   The Death of the Assyrian Army:
a)    "Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and SMOTE in the camp of the ASSYRIANS a hundred and fourscore and five thousand; and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses." Isaiah 37:36-38: 2nd KINGS 19:35-37: and 2nd Chronicles 32:20, 22

Isn’t it wonderful to know that God’s word never fails?! 

God’s prophecy was fulfilled by King Hezekiah and the other Old Testament books confirm this same prophetic fulfillment as well:

The Death of the Assyrian King:

b)    "So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead."

So far King Hezekiah has fulfilled all of Isaiah’s prophecies perfectly don’t you agree? Let’s continue…

5.   Judah and Israel must safely return home from their captives.

a.)    Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin.

b.)  Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities. 2.  And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service… 2nd Chronicles 31:1, 2 KJV

c.)    "And for this cause HEZEKIAH the king and the PROPHET ISAIAH the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven. 2nd Chronicles 32:20

d.) THUS the LORD SAVED HEZEKIAH and the inhabitants of JERUSALEM from the hand of Sennacherib the king of ASSYRIA, and from the hand of ALL OTHER, and guided them on every side." 2nd CHRONICLES 32:20&22


So during King Hezekiah’s reign on David’s throne, the prophecy of Isaiah chapter 9:6 were accomplished and/or fulfilled. Israel did return home to Jerusalem and their other provinces.

6.   Judah and Israel will remain safe during the king’s lifetime.

a.)    20 And the LORD HEARKENED to HEZEKIAH, and HEALED the people." 2nd CHRON. 30:10-13, 20

b.)    "And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, REJOICED2nd CHRONICLES 30:25-26

c.)    So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the SON of DAVID king of Israel there was NOT THE LIKE in Jerusalem2nd CHRONICLES 30:27

Wow! Israel is now safe under the rule of King Hezekiah.

The bible even goes as far as saying that this miraculous event was: 

                     I.    Pre-told by the Prophet Isaiah.
                
                 II.   It happened “suddenly,”
                                  
                 III.  All of Israel and Judah rejoiced because of the   
                       victorious human king.
                        
                 IV.  Since the reign of Solomon no other human king  
                       had performed such a miracle in Jerusalem.

7.   He must be worshiped and celebrated by the people with adoration gifts and great name attributes for his accomplishments and accolades.

a)    "He trusted in the Lord God of Israel: so that AFTER HIM was NONE like HIM among all the kings of Judah nor ANY that were BEFORE HIM 

for he clave to the Lord, and departed NOT from following him but KEPT his commandments which the LORD commanded Moses  

And the Lord was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.." 2nd KINGS 18:5, 6, 7. 

b)    "And thus did HEZEKIAH throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was “GOOD” and “RIGHT” and “TRUTH” before the LORD HIS GOD.  

And in every work that (HE) began in the service of the HOUSE of God, and in the LAW, and in the COMMANDMENTS, to seek HIS GOD, he did it with all his heart, and “PROSPERED." 2nd CHRONICLES 31:20, 21

c)    23.  And many brought gifts unto the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.

So here we have the proof in writing that King Hezekiah is the one who fulfilled the prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah. Now we have one more criteria to answer: 

8.   He must acknowledge the fact that Isaiah is prophesying specifically about him.

a)    "Now the rest of the acts of HEZEKIAH and HIS GOODNESS, behold, they are WRITTEN in the VISION of “ISAIAH” the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the BOOK of the KINGS of JUDAH and ISRAEL." 2ND CHRONICLES 32:32

b)    "Then said HEZEKIAH unto ISAIAH, Good is the WORD of the LORD which THOU hast SPOKEN, and HE SAID, is it not GOOD, if (PEACE) and (TRUTH) be in MY DAYS." 2nd KINGS 20:19

Here we have two different writers who claim the vision or “prophecies” of Isaiah are about King Hezekiah! Is that true? What does Isaiah have to say about such claims?

c)    "Then said HEZEKIAH to ISAIAH, Good is the WORD of the Lord “THOU” has spoken  He said moreover, for there shall be (PEACE) and (TRUTH) in MY DAYS" ISAIAH 39:8

Wow! FOLKS! Did you get that? Hezekiah clearly speaks to Isaiah and says, good is the PROPHECY that you Isaiah has spoken about me Hezekiah the King! That was the nail in the proverbial coffin don’t you think? What prophecy do you think they are speaking of hmm?

Well Rome and the false Paul version of Christianity never wanted you to read anything but what they wrote in the Greek language. That way the Popes could remain in power and Satan would continue to deceive the chosen Elect of God.

However, the above verse from the book of Isaiah openly proves the other writers were correct when they proclaim the prophecies in Isaiah were about their King Hezekiah and never about a futuristic Jesus prophecy Hallelu-YHWH! 

Notice how Hezekiah clearly tells Isaiah that the words of YHWH are true which Isaiah prophesied about him. 

Hezekiah then repeats the words of the prophecy which says: There shall be                

PEACE” and “TRUTH” in “MY DAYS.” 

Now what prophecy do you think that could be?

·        "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, Counselor, the Mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of (PEACE)." Isaiah 9:6 KJV

·        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 this.” Isaiah 9:7 KJV

PEACE & JUSTICE shall last throughout all of His “HIS DAYS.” 

Amazing isn’t it? Now ask yourself this question:

“WHY didn’t Isaiah correct King Hezekiah if the prophecies were NOT about him?”

Notice how Isaiah never corrected Hezekiah!

As you can see they both tell us that our interpretations of Isaiah 9:6-7 have been false all along. 

Hezekiah cannot make it clearer to us that the Prophecies that Isaiah spoke of in Chapter 9 were about HIM

My Brothers and Sisters "HEZEKIAH" knew that the Prophecies from the Prophets were all written concerning him and his reign.

Isaiah's words tell us point blank that it is King Hezekiah and you and I together have read the prophetic fulfillment also written by Isaiah's own hand. 

How can you argue with the very writer of the gospel? 

Should we continue to follow Rome or read God's word on our own and see past the liars who want to keep us in satanic darkness?

The false writers of the New Testament did not want you to study the Old Testament and learn the truth. 

The Greco-Roman false writers of Luke and Matthew invented a bloodline for Jesus just to fool the masses. 

There is no other explanation or excuse for this heresy... 

I have one more point to give you before we end this chapter.

As concerning the original prophecy of Isaiah:

·        "For unto us, a “CHILD” is born, unto us SON is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace 

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 forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." Isaiah 9:6 & 7KJV


Now Isaiah is doing the speaking in this verse as we can see. 

According to Isaiah a child has just been birthed by someone within the group of captives that he is speaking to. 

Now did Isaiah give us clues to this child?

 WHO is this son that God has given to this captive people? 

We don’t have to guess because Isaiah tells us in a prophecy clearly not only who the father of the son is but also the era the child will actually sit on the throne:

  • This is the message that came to (ME) the year KING AHAZ died, don’t rejoice, Philistines, that the “KING” that smote you is dead. That ROD is broken, yes, but “HIS SON” will be a “GREATER” scourge to you than his father EVER WAS.”  
  •  From the snake WILL BE BORN an adder, a fiery serpent to destroy you.” ISAIAH 14:28-29


There is not one person with reasonable intelligence on the planet who can twist this scripture into a Jesus prophecy. Isaiah just said this prophecy came to him:

1.    The year King Ahaz died so this is during Isaiah’s own lifetime.

2.     Isaiah is warning the Philistines i.e. the ASSYRIANS not to rejoice just because the King Ahaz is dead. Which means this prophecy will be fulfilled during the Assyrian dynasty.

3.    Isaiah warns the Assyrians saying: The Old “ROD” is dead but King Ahaz’ own son the prophesied “ROD” from Ahaz, and Jesse will be a greater King than all of them.”

4.    From the Snake i.e. Ahaz, a fiery serpent will destroy Assyria.

Now who is Ahaz’ son that took his place after his death? 

You are correct if you said King Hezekiah. 

The Philistines/Assyrians were not a threat during Jesus’ time, but they were a threat during Hezekiah’s reign. 

so here once again Jesus is eliminated from the prophetic equation. 

Lastly, Isaiah speaks directly to the Philistines and other enemies of that era and says this new King, the SON of Ahaz and Jesse, will destroy them.

As you can see, all of the prophecies concerning the King from the seed of Jesse and David all came true in the bible long before the enemies of Israel could twist the words and write a new false gospel and attempt to deceive us.

Do you remember all the name attributes associated with the king in Isaiah chapter 9:6? Isaiah continues to tell us the attributes of the king again. He tells us that the king has:

THE SPIRIT OF:
1. WISDOM

2. UNDERSTANDING

3. COUNSEL

4. MIGHT

5. KNOWLEDGE

Isn’t Isaiah now repeating chapter 9 all over again? This man/child is not a deity at all as we can see.

 Isaiah says the Spirit of the Almighty God will be with this King or on this King or however you decide to say it. God will give this King

 Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Might, and Knowledge 

which my Brothers and Sisters are 5 attributes granted by God just as Isaiah said earlier in chapter 9:6&7! 

Notice in the next two verses how they eliminate any chances of them speaking prophetically about Jesus as well:
  • And shall make quick understanding in the fear of the Lord and he shall not (JUDGE) after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 
  • But with RIGHTEOUSNESS shall he judge the poor and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the EARTH with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked." ISAIAH 11:3-4

Clearly this man & King will show the world his power by trusting in God’s word. 

As ruler, he will not rule with his eyes and ears but with righteousness.

 He will not rely on might of his military armies, but it will be with his tongue and with his outcries to the Lord for help that he will slay the wicked men. Amen!

There are so many things said in the bible about King Hezekiah. Because of time restraints I’ve decided to only list the prophecies that were written exclusively about King Hezekiah. You should read these verses in context on your own to discover what has been hidden for so long by the Catholic Church. This is just for your enjoyment. The Hezekiah prophecies are:
a.   Isaiah 9:6                              d. Jeremiah 23:5, 6
b.   Isaiah 10:34                         e. 2nd Chronicles 32:32
c.   Isaiah 11:1- 4                       f.  2nd Kings 18:1, 2.



SUMMARY:

There is a song that I used to hear as a child on a children’s television show. The lyrics were: 

“One of these things is not like the other, one of these things are not the same?”

I applied these lyrics to the way theologians wanted us to view the prophecies in the Old Testament.

 Now follow me for a second.

Which thing does NOT belong?
a.) Milk. B.) Potato. C.) Eggs. D.) Racecar?

If you said answer “D” you are correct. Why? 

Because we can see that the other three are foods and you do not eat race cars. 

So use that same reasoning when you read Isaiah Chapters 52-54. The people are slaves and are seeking a Savior not to die for their sins, but to bring them out of bondage. 

Knowing the context the book of Isaiah is written in you would have to ask:

1.    If the people have nothing to eat or drink and are slaves in a land that is not their own why wouldn’t God tell them about a Messiah that would bring them out of Assyria now? That is asinine!

2.    Since the people are in so much suffering, would having knowledge about 700+ years in the future do them any good? Why would God now go to give them a prophecy of 700 years in the future?

Lastly, to recap what we have now learned. 

a.) The true prophetic interpretation of Isaiah 9:6 is the rise of King 
      Hezekiah to power and not about Jesus!

b.) The prophecy tells us that Hezekiah unlike Israel and Judah will 
      trust in the Lord to deliver him and his people from Assyria.

c.)The scriptures proclaim that he will rule his kingdom with peace 
    and  justice.
 
d.) He shall reign all of his days with peace in his kingdom. This is   
     not Jesus because Jesus was not born.  

The Book of Isaiah not only tells of things to come, but we all have seen that the prophecies are also fulfilled in Isaiah’s writings along with the writings of the other books of the Old Testament as well. 

I love it when the true Gospel writers’ said concerning David’s son King Hezekiah:

·        "He trusted in the Lord God of Israel: so that AFTER HIM was NONE like HIM among all the kings of JUDAH, NOR any that were BEFORE HIM." 2nd KINGS 18:5, 6

I love it! The Old Testament Gospel writers proclaim that there was no king greater than Hezekiah and they also proclaim that there be no king in Judah like him either and that includes Jesus!

Now you know the truth. Will you let the truth set you free? Amen…
I say again Fast, Pray, and Study.  Read on your own to find the truth…
