The LAW AND THE PROPHETS? 

11/13 DAILY EXHORTATION (Heb.3:13;10:25;Matt.6:11;Luke 11:3)

Ready to glean this 11/13 from this 11:13?

Matthew 11:13 (KJB)  For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

So, Jesus gave you a dissection/dividing of the scriptures there. See, John the Baptist is said to be a “friend” of the Bridegroom. There are Baptist Briders that trace their lineage to John the Baptist (ahem) and you talk about SELF-DEFEATING. 

John 3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

John the Baptist would not be the Bride of Christ simply because HE DIED THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BRIDE. Jesus died in 31 AD for His Proverbs 31 Bride. John the Baptist was not a born again Christian, but an Old Testament (pre-cross) saint. 

1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…

Okay, let’s talk about what we call THE ISAIAH PHENOMENA… It is amazing. Isaiah is my favorite book (next to James) as it is a Panoramic View of the Bible. It is made up of 66 chapters WHICH CORRESPOND BY DIVINE DESIGN WITH THE 66 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE!!!!!

You see, Isaiah chapter one speaks of the heavens and earth (Gen. 1) and Adam, God’s children in rebellion, Sodom, etc. This relates to the 1st book which is Genesis. 

Isaiah is called both a “law” (1 Cor. 14:21) and a “prophet” (Matt.3:3). Our focus passage says the law and the prophets prophesied until John. So, in chapter 39 of Isaiah, the very last verse contains the last mention of the name “Isaiah” but no more thereafter!!! 39 relates to Malachi (39th book) which prophesies of John the Baptist coming (Malachi 3). In chapter 40 of Isaiah, John the Baptist’s prophecies show up (corresponding to Matthew when it is fulfilled!): 

Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

So, the prophets and law are unto John in the Isaiah Phenomena. There is such a clear distinction between chapter 39 and 40 that liberal scholars think Isaiah did not write both!!!! 

Chapter 66 of Isaiah speaks of God creating NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH (corresponding to the 66th Book which is Revelation). Also, the millennium shows up, end times delusions, and the lake of fire. 

So, the end of the OLD TESTAMENT prophets was John the Baptist. The reason Jesus took 39 stripes was one for EVERY BOOK OF THE O.T. LAW!!!! And John came in the “spirit and power of” Elijah. See, Elijah wore camel’s leather and so did John the Baptist. See, Rebekah (type of the Bride of Christ) came to Isaac (type of the Bridegroom, Jesus) and came RIDING ON A CAMEL. John the Baptist prepares the way for the CHURCH, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST!!!! WELL, THANK YOU, JESUS!!!!!

Ah, what a MASTERPIECE OF WOVEN TAPESTRY FOUND IN A BIBLE. 

Hope you are enjoying it and are edified by a RIGHT DIVIDE (2 Tim.2:15), -r <3
