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

64. Why it's important that the book of Isaiah is not about Jesus

For one thing, it would help reconcile Christians with Jews and Muslims, and help all three of the Abrahamic religions understand each other. And a first step toward that reconciliation could be knowing that the messianic prophecies in the books of Isaiah and other Jewish prophets is not about Jesus.

That would open the door to understanding how and why much of the doctrines and dogma in the “New Testament” of the Christian Bible (as we know it) are the stuff of legend and myth, despite the fact that the actual words of Jesus of Nazareth were basically the truth.

It would also open the door to understanding who today is telling the real truth that the world needs to hear, and why this message is so crucial to the survival of humanity and the planet.

The message is so important because in order for the humble, gentle, kind, peaceful and “meek” majority of people to inherit the earth and enjoy our birthright, an authentic, truly righteous Judgment is needed to correct the political and religious leaders of the world who have brought us to this terrible state of inequity, conflict, division, and tribulation.

Fortunately, since there is as much conflict over religion as there is about government, a divine intervention and judgment was prophesied by the prophets who foresaw and foretold it. But, it is not as many religious people expected — mainly because the fulfillment of real prophecies has nothing to do with magic, and there is nothing supernatural about it.

The messenger who fulfills prophecies does not claim divinity nor royalty. He does not try to play God or conquering hero, but is merely a fellow servant and Messenger of God, and only human. And by prophetic mandate, he is prohibited from exalting himself as an orator from behind and podium or pulpit.

Consequently, because he is not what people expected, or what they think they need, the messenger is rejected. So, while he and his message are rejected, he and most people in the world suffer many terrible things, the wealthiest few who hold all the wealth and power live luxuriously and palatially, believing that is the natural order of things — even believing that they are blessed by God, and that the poor masses deserve their lot.

That’s the way it is in America and most other places in the world where money rules, and consequently aristocracy, oligarchy and the various forms of monarchy continue to grow stronger, and the wealthiest few continue to rule and get even richer at the expense of everyone else.

Nevertheless, truth will prevail, and when the judgment is recognized and acted upon it will put an end to the rule of money. It will render Theocracy, Oligarchy, Aristocracy and Monarchy obsolete (including the presidential form of monarchy), and instead it will establish actual Liberty, Democracy, Justice, and Freedom of Religion for all Humanity.

Unlike the governments we have now, governments of the future will be of, by, and for the people. They will use the common wealth for the common good, promote the general welfare, and ensure domestic tranquility, pluralism and freedom of religions, equal rights and opportunities, and justice for all the people.

That is what the comprehensive message and judgment is all about, and it is designed not to condemn, but to educate; not to punish, but to correct; and not to destroy, but to save.

It says that the greatest refuge of a scoundrel is patriotism, and the greatest refuge of a hypocrite is religiosity. And the proud and militant who have claimed that their religion or nation or race or culture is superior to all others, or that their wealth entitles them to rule, are spiritually blind, and wrong.

However, even though the message reflects the truth, it is not perfect or written in stone, and it is tinged with the author’s personal opinions, as are the writings of all authors. No human being has ever been or ever will be God, and even God’s chosen servants are only human. At the core of the message, however, is the divinely inspired truth, which is deep in the heart and soul of all of us.

The messenger, the modern son of man, is only human and very aware that as he judges so he is judged. But who he has been and who he is has little to do with the message, and he was sent not to rule over you, but to provide true counsel and liberate and empower us all.
