"THE ONLY 'OLD TESTAMENT' PROPHECY THAT JESUS QUOTED IN THE 'NEW TESTAMENT'"


 

THE ONLY 'OLD TESTAMENT' PROPHECY THAT JESUS QUOTED IN THE 'NEW TESTAMENT'

 

THE ONLY Old Testament prophecy that Jesus quoted in the New Testament should indicate to us how important it is to Him. Therefore it should also show us how important it should be to us !

 

Isaiah 61:1-2

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because He has anointed me to preach.......to proclaim THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD, and THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD...."  (The "Day of vengeance of our God" is also the Day of the Lord's wrath)

 

Luke 4:18-20 (Jesus speaking)

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath appointed Me to preach the gospel......and to preach THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD. And He closed the book, and he gave it back to the minister , and sat down."

 

What was inferred by Jesus, that day, is that THE DAY OF THE LORD will come in THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD which is also THE JUBILEE YEAR. The next prophecy of Isaiah states that THE DAY OF THE LORD'S VENGEANCE will also come in the SAME JUBILEE YEAR as the REDEMPTION (rapture) OF THE CHURCH:

 

Isaiah 63:4

"For THE DAY OF VENGEANCE is in mine heart, and THE YEAR OF MY REDEEMED has come."

 

Therefore we are told that THE DAY Of THE LORD will come in THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD which is THE JUBILEE YEAR , and also in which the REDEMPTION ( rapture ) OF THE CHURCH will happen.

 

The next 50th SACRED JUBILEE YEAR will begin on the New Moon of Nisan 1, 2016 which is April 8, 2016.
