Does the book of Isaiah say anything about Jesus of Nazareth?

[SarahM32]

43. Thanks. And ...

I’m impressed. I have great respect for the Jesus Seminar, though I am really only familiar with the works of Karen Armstrong, Marcus Borg, and John Dominic Crossan. I believe their work will not only continue, but grow more and more important in the coming Reformation.

I take take their work seriously, and also know that even among them there are a variety of opinions.

But I also take the book of Isaiah seriously and I believe it does indeed speak of a time when God's chosen servant delivers judgment by sending his work before him. But as "Isaiah" and Jesus both knew, that servant or son of man would be rejected by his generation --- rejected so long that he fears all his work has been in vain and for naught. And both Isaiah and Jesus were making a specific prediction about a specific event.

Also, that event is not just predicted in Judeo-Christian prophecies about the end of this passing age. It's also about what happens at the end of the Hindu Kali Yuga, the end of the Mayan age, and the end of the tribulation that the Native American prophet Black Elk spoke of. All the greatest prophets "foresaw" and foretold it.
