Did god tell John the dipper that Jesus is the chosen servant of god? ~ Cross reference of John 1:32 to Isaiah 42:1


You find this cross reference in Matthew 12:15 but in John's gospel, John the dipper bears this witness about Jesus. 

If you read the post on Matthew you will see that Jesus heals and preaches and tells the people not to tell anyone and thereby fulfills Isaiah 42:1 

In John's gospel he makes a stronger claim that John the dipper got this message from god directly.

This post is not intended to offend anyone's faith but for those people who are Seeking the truth of THE ONE TRUE G-D of the universe to who we owe all our love, gratitude & devotion.

My encouragement to you is that you read the whole chapter of Tanakh that the Greek text quotes so you get the context and understand what G-d actually said.

G-d Bless and Seek THE Truth.

John 1:32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. 33 And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.”[f]

Isaiah 42:1 Behold My servant, I will support him, My chosen one, whom My soul desires; I have placed My spirit upon him, he shall promulgate justice to the nations. 2 He shall neither cry nor shall he raise [his voice]; and he shall not make his voice heard outside. 3 A breaking reed he shall not break; and a flickering flaxen wick he shall not quench; with truth shall he execute justice. 4 Neither shall he weaken nor shall he be broken, until he establishes justice in the land, and for his instruction, islands shall long.

Exodus 32:32  But now, if you will only forgive their sin - but if not, blot me out of the book that you have written. 33 But the L-rd said to Moses, " Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book." Deuteronomy 24:16 Parents are not to be put to death for their children , nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin. 2 Kings 14:6 Yet he did not put the children of the assassins to death, in accordance with what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses where the Lord commanded: “ Parents are not to be put to death for their children , nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin. ” Jeremiah 31:30 Instead, everyone will die for their own sin ; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge. Ezekiel 3:20 “Again, when a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before them, they will di e .

Deuteronomy 18:14  For these nations, which you are to possess, hearken to diviners of [auspicious] times and soothsayers, but as for you, the Lord, your God, has not given you [things] like these. ~  This passage says that the nations seek witchcraft and other evil ways to find out solutions for their questions but Israel should not but follow the prophet that G-d will setup for them after Moses is not there  Deuteronomy 18:18  I will set up a prophet for them from among their brothers like you, and I will put My words into his mouth, and he will speak to them all that I command him. 19 And it will be, that whoever does not hearken to My words that he speaks in My name, I will exact [it] of him.~  This passage in context is telling the people that the prophet who is setup in place of Moses will guide them and they have to obey him else G-d will punish the offenders.  Numbers 27:14  Because you disobeyed My command in the desert of Zin when the congregation quarreled, [when you were] t

Did the "The abomination that causes desolation" happen yet? ~ Cross reference of Matthew 24:15 to Daniel 9:26

In Matthew 24 Jesus prophesies about the destruction of the temple. When his disciples ask Jesus when he will return at the end of the age, I think they were asking when he will return after being resurrected, he says he does not know and only god knows. Matthew was written around 80 CE and the temple was destroyed in 70 CE. Do we call this prophecy or history? Jesus does however share details of the things that will happen between his resurrection and his return. He talks about false prophets coming and claiming that they are Jesus, natural calamities that will occur and finally "the abomination that causes desolation" will have to occur. In verse 29 Jesus says after all these things have happened, immediately he will come and everyone on the earth will see him coming in the clouds with his angels. He does not offer a timeline when all these calamities will end but the trigger for him to return will be " The abomination that causes desolation " The only reference
