It is sometimes said that Jesus Christ is not spoken of in the Old Testament. That is not surprising. All Old Testament books were written before the birth of Christ. Anyone who has made it this far reading this website knows by now that the 'fingerprint' of Christ can be found everywhere in the OT. Alongside Daniel, Isaiah 53 is one of the chapters of the OT that speaks most openly about Jesus Christ. There is a reason why this happens here. This has already been described by others, but I can add a few more points to that.
The Old Testament has 39 books and the New Testament has 27 books as we know it today. Together for the entire Bible, that is 39 + 27 = 66 books. Jesus is central to the NT. This central position can be expressed by the number 14 in this case, because the center between 1 and 27 is 14. Since the NT belongs to the OT, we can express this center as 39+14=53. (Note: the number 27 is in turn the midpoint between 1 and 53.) Now, the book of Isaiah has 66 chapters and is also seen as the Bible in a nutshell. If we now look up chapter 53 in Isaiah, we find a description of the life of Christ!
Isaiah lived about 700 BC. Unfortunately there aren't found any writings of that time and you could think of a forgery from a later time. However in the caves of Qumran Isaiah scrolls are found that at least date from 100 BC. In total there are found 21 Isaiah scrolls spread over different caves (Isaiah at Qumran). There are found very little and very small differences compared to the current Hebrew text. This was for me a reason to check Isaiah 53 for codes. And indeed there happens to be a code in that text. With Equidistant Letter Sequence we can find a code of Jesus, my Name as well of Messiah. In Isaiah 53:8-10 we find Jesus and my Name with ELS -20 and in Isaiah 53:8-11 we find Messiah with ELS -42:
If
we places these three code words in a matrix of 20 letters on a row, than
we see that the word Messiah crosses the word Jesus and that the have
the letter shien in common. This letter we find in Isa.53:10
(KJV) in
the phrase: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
The first letter, the shien,
He shall see the labor of his soul, and shall be satisfied; by his knowledge did my servant justify the righteous One to the many, and did bear their iniquities.. יסבל הוא ועונתם לרבים עבדי צדיק יצדיק בדעתו ישבע יראה נפשו מעמל 102 12 572 282 86 204 214 482 382 216 436 180 3168
But why is it that the 11th verse in Isaiah 53 has the number value 3168? In the introduction of this chapter I have already described why 53 is central in the midst of the 66 books. Now is 66 the 11th triangular number. So the basis of 66 is 11. The Lord Jesus Christ (3168) is the basis on which the hole bible is build. He is the basis and the center of the bible. And for that reason: Isaiah 53:11.
The first letter of Jesus in the code is letter 508 in the 11th word of Is.53:10, which is the 49th (7x7) jod in Isa.53. The number 508=4x127. The word 'he shall lengthen', יאריך, in which we find the first letter of the Jesha code, is the 127th word of Is.53 and the jod is the 4th letter in that word. In this way the divisors 127 and 4 fixate the first letter of the Jeshua code in the text. 508 is also the number value of the word 'I have pardoned' like it is used in Num.14:20:
If we make from the same text of Isa.53 a matrix of 42 letters on a row, that's to say with the ELS -42 of the Messiah code, than we find the word Messiah in column 26: (In matrix 20 we find the first letter of Jesus in row 26) The sum of all the divisors of 26, the number 26 itself included, is: 1+2+13+26=42.
When
we look for the coordinates of the letters of the Jeshua code, that are somewhat
scattered in the matrix. We find for י And
if we count the letters of Isa.53, then we find 667 letters. The sum of
all divisors, the number 667 itself excluded, is:
By the way, the gematria in 'n' (the letter places in the alphabet) of Jesus, Jeshua, is 53:
