Did Isaiah prophesy that Jesus is the most amazing thing that ever happened? ~ Cross reference of 1 Corinthians 2:9 to Isaiah 64:3

Paul is asserting in this chapter that the revelation of god's plan to send Jesus to the earth to die on the cross so that anyone who believes in him will be saved is the most amazing thing that ever happened.

He says this revelation has been made not to the wise of this time[I guess he is referring to the Jewish sages of Jesus's time], but to common people though the holy spirit. He believes his life's purpose is to spread this good news to all people.

He then says that Isaiah prophesied this 700 years before in Isaiah 64:3.

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.

1 Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him

Isaiah 64:3 And whereof no one had ever heard, had ever perceived by ear, no eye had ever seen a god besides You perform for him who hoped for him.

• If you read Isaiah 64 is starts will Isaiah describing G-d as the almighty. He talks about how mountains melt before him. He then says G-d has done amazing things for Israel even though they did not hope or expect G-d will do.
• Isaiah 64:1 As fire burns materials that melt, fire causes water to bubble, to make Your name known to Your adversaries; nations would quake from before You. 2 When You performed awesome deeds for which we did not hope; [when] You descended, mountains dripped from before You.
• Isaiah then says, that G-d did not leave any righteous leaders in Israel who could have taught them about G-d and this has cause the people to fall into sin.
• Isaiah 64:4 You smote him who rejoiced and worked righteousness, those who mentioned You in Your ways; behold, when You became wroth for we had sinned; through them, of old, we would be saved.
• Isaiah then talks about how Israel has moved away from G-d and even the most righteous deed are like rags
• Isaiah 64:5 And we all have become like one unclean, and like a discarded garment are all our righteous deeds, and we all have withered like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.
• The Isaiah asks G-d to not be angry because Israel is his chosen people.
• Isaiah 64:8 Be not wroth, O Lord, so very greatly, and remember not iniquity forever; please look, all of us are Your people.
• I just fail to see how Paul found the mystery of "salvation through Jesus" in these passages.
