Ramifications of Messiah!!!
New Testament teaching has Old Testament Foundation.

Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted. Just as many were astonished at you, {My people,} So His appearance was marred more than any man And His form more than the sons of men. Thus He will sprinkle many nations, Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him; For what had not been told them they will see, And what they had not heard they will understand. (Isaiah 52:13-15)


" Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them," declares the LORD. "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, " I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." (Jeremiah 31:31-33)


Then Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak....Then Jacob asked him and said, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?"

"I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me (God) whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn." (Zechariah 12:10)


But He was pierced through for our  transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being {fell} upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord, "That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth." (Jeremiah 23:5)

"I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope. For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." (Psalms 16:11 NKJV)

The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of darkness, a light has dawned. (Isaiah 9;2 and Matthew 4;16)


Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son's name?

Isaiah 7:14
"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
The wording of Scripture always makes more sense when it is understood that God cannot be seen for a number of reasons. The Lord's provision for us makes possible the elimination of those reasons because it eliminates our sin. The fact that God was seen a number of times speaks to the proof of His provision for us to make an end of sin. This is all fact of Scripture that no one can deny.

Pay attention, mind, heed, Listen to the Word of the LORD...

"Hear O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! "You shall Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. "These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. "You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. (Deuteronomy 6:4-7)

"Moreover the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live. Deuteronomy 30:6

"I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.  (Ezekiel 36:27)

On that day it will be said to Jerusalem: "Do not fear;
Zion, do not let your hands grow weak. The Lord your God is among you, a warrior who saves.
He will rejoice over you with gladness.
He will bring [you] quietness with His love.
He will delight in you with shouts of joy." (Zephaniah 3:16-19)



The first to plead his case {seems} right, {Until} another comes and examines him. (Proverbs 18:17)
Y'shua is God's provision/remedy for sin. Word of that provision came when Adam first sinned. This is also the provision that Abraham spoke of when he said that the Lord will provide for Himself the Lamb. Abraham and Moses believed in that provision. Without this provision, we could have nothing to do with a Holy God and it would never be possible for us to see the Lord. As a result of the provision of "the Lamb" sacrificed, the reason for not being able to see the Lord is eliminated because our sin is eliminated. That is the remedy. God sent Y'shua to cut open the only way and to establish the only link to God by the sending of His Holy Spirit to sanctify us. That is the remedy. The only way that we will ever see God is through the sanctification that is by the Spirit and faith in the truth that He convinces us of.

I found some more today in the word study of Salvation.

"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout {in triumph,} O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

"Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, "Lo, your salvation comes; Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him."

"I looked, and there was no one to help, And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold; So My own arm brought salvation to Me, And My wrath upheld Me.

"Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation."

"Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation.

I may have some repeats.

Shalom!

Lu:24:44: And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

What about the verse in the book of Yeshayahu that says, YHWH's face is hiding in the house of Jacob? I forgot what verse is that...

It is just amazing at how many prophecies there really are!

Shalom!

In the book of Yeshayahu: I will wait for YHWH, who is hiding HIS face from the house of Yakov. I will put my trust in HIM.

There is another verse somewhat similar to this that says,

"Since the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to defeat your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy; and He must not see anything indecent among you or He will turn away from you.

I don't know what it seems like to other people but to me, it seems like the text says, "the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp".

Literally he is always near us whenever we hold events that Praise HIM. And that is always what were doing always aware of HIS presence...
