At a time of the death of pope Benedict xvi, on new years eve 2022. This most highly esteemed personality on earth along with his predessessor the late saint pope John Paul 2 the great. Of which did fulfil many words of the prophets of old, but i want to bring to mind a tittle of a precious thing done by the pair. Noting that Benedict whose name means branch, and did visit Jerusalem in may 2009, in a year he officially called to celebrate the apostle Paul, by in depth studies of his gospel message in the world.
Pauls work as a servant of Jesus Christ/Yeshua, is rich with prophecies of which it can surely be assumed that Pauls writings known as his gospel, was and were truly as he claims in them, that is of heavenly revelation, not of flesh and blood.
In a nutshell ISAIAH 53 the arm of the Lord is the man Paul/Saul of Tarsus, even though the man Christ Jesus is the only name whereby all must be saved, ie He who was crucified on a tree, but it remains with much controversy between jew and gentile, but Psalms 22 is i am sure is Jesus and Paul is his servant...................who also is that prophet promised since Moses time ( re Deuteronomy 18).
I can see many eyebrows being raised if you reading this for first time, but consider, is not as you were ever told. Of which are words found in the previous chapter Isaiah 52............Paul is as one who surnamed himself by the name of Israel, and found in many places in the book of Isaiah in re words of the servant Israel.
My understanding is the arm of the LORD revealed was for Israel and Jesus came for the lost sheep of Israel Matt. 15:24 and fulfill the law and the prophets, Matt. 26:54.
John 12:37-41 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed 39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
Also, there is Matthew 8:14-17Luke 22:35-38Acts 8:26-35Romans 10:11-21.
