The Truth About Jesus Christ - From the Only True Source That Can Be Trusted - The Holy Bible

Concerning Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible we read in Isaiah chapters 12 and 43:

12:1 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thy anger is turned away, and thou hast comforted me. 2) Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; he also is become my salvation. 3) Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. 4) And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

12:5) Sing to the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this [is] known in all the earth. 6) Cry aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great [is] the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

43:1) But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine. 2) When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

43:3) For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Cush and Seba for thee. 4) Since thou hast been precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

43:5) Fear not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6) I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7) [Even] every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; verily, I have made him. 8) Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

43:9) Let all the nations be collected, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth. 10) Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no god formed, neither shall there be after me.

43:11) I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and besides me [there is] no savior. 12) I have declared, and have saved, and I have shown, when [there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I [am] God. 13) Yes, before the day [was], I [am] he; and [there is] none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall hinder it?

43:14) Thus saith the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry [is] in the ships. 15) I [am] the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

These are just some of the verses that are Biblically attributable to the Person of Jesus Christ, and when correctly associated to His other prophetic references and personal statements of Who He is, it is unmistakable for those who correctly believe His witness that Jesus Christ is Yeshua HaMashiach, the Holy One of Israel, Who lives and rules the universe and is expected to return at any moment to enforce the Biblical provisions of His retaking possession of the earth.

He is expected to first remove His believers in faith and reassemble them for His descent on the Mount of Olives (not Damascus, nor some cave in Mesopotamia or wherever), and He will make His appearance like the lightning strikes from the east and flashes to the west in a way that will leave no question in anyone's mind who is left that He is indeed the King of kings and LORD of Lords. Now, could anyone who has command of the elements and the whole of the universe like this be anything less than Almighty God? Isaiah 9:6, puts it like this:

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born (in Bethlehem), to 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. 7) Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David (in Jerusalem, the object of all the battles around Israel), 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.

No other source describes the truth of this; it is found only in the Holy Bible, the true source of revelation about Jesus Christ.

Further, we have only two things that we can say about His appearance, that He came from a Jewish heritage, and the Revelation describes Him as having a bronze complexion, white hair, fire in His eyes, and the sword of His truth coming from His mouth. It would seem from that description of His visage that it would be better to be a friend of His than to meet Him in judgment. Believe in Jesus Christ and be saved Acts16:31.
