Jesus Came to Fulfill Prophecy
 
It seems that Jesus had a threefold purpose for making a visit to the earth. 
 
He was set to fulfill His goals. 
 
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished (Luke 12:50)! 
 
First, Jesus came to fulfill prophecy to His chosen nation, to His chosen people, descendants of Abraham. 
 
In Isaiah 53, Isaiah had plainly prophesied the coming of their humble sorrowful savior, the righteous servant to make his soul an offering for sin. 
 
He introduces this passage with two profound questions, Who hath believed our report? 
 
and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 
 
The Nation of Israel did not receive the One that fit this lowly description, but looked for the dynamic authority figure that would take them out from under Roman authority and immediately set up their kingdom.
 
When He came to offer them their earthly Kingdom and to take back full control of the earth from the adversary, the Devil, the leaders of the Sanhedrin and the Nation as a whole did not receive Him, remained in unbelief; the Nation as a whole did not believe Isaiah’s report. 
 
Even though God’s chosen people, the little flock (Luke 12:32), 
 
the remnant (Romans 9:27), 
 
did receive Jesus, the King of the Kingdom, their Messiah, they did not understand the report that Jesus had come as a suffering servant and they too had limited belief of Isaiah’s report. 
 
Because the Nation as a whole, like in Times Past, remained in unbelief and unrepentant and continued their history of resisting the Holy Spirit, the Nation of Israel would now have to wait for their kingdom until after the completion of the BUT NOW mystery program for the Body of Christ. 
 
Salvation is now offered to all, Jew and Gentile alike, by Grace through faith in the finished work on the cross and the sealing by the Holy Spirit. 
 
Not until after the rapture, the closing event in this mystery dispensation as revealed by Paul, will God resume the promises of the prophetic program: 
 
the Great Tribulation, the second coming of Jesus Christ, and the Millennial Kingdom in the Dispensation of the AGES TOo COME.

Introduction: Page 10

[ LISTEN ] This BUT NOW Mystery Dispensation will comes to a close with the Rapture of the Grace Church, the next event on God’s calendar; when the dead and alive in Christ will meet the Lord in the air, be clothed upon with their glorified bodies, and then go to the Bema Seat, the Judgment Seat of Christ, to be judged according to Paul’s Gospel.    All the sin debt and punishment has already been paid for by the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. At that judgment, everyone will receive praise of God.    The work that an individual does in this life while walking in the Spirit, co-laboring with the Lord, will be rewarded by the position of authority they will receive in the heavenly places at a set time, at a time after Satan and his angels are thrown out of heaven.    The members of the Body of Christ will be rewarded for their good works and placed in seats in heavenly places, having administrative positions over the faithful angelic re...
