Jesus Is Still NOT Mentioned in Isaiah

[00:00:01][music] >> Greetings. This is brother Eli. [music] Welcome to Bible Truth Revealed. This channel is dedicated to exposing the lies of Christianity and revealing biblical truth. On this channel, we worship and serve the most high God of Israel only.

[00:00:27]This teaching is entitled "Is Jesus in Isaiah chapter 48 verse 16?"

[00:00:36]That is, "Is Jesus in Isaiah chapter 48 verse 16?"

[00:00:44]For over 2,000 years, Christians have desperately attempted to read their false God and idol into the holy scriptures, which they call the Old Testament. They have even written their own Bibles, such as the 1611 KJV, to convince the world that their idol is in every book of the holy scriptures.

[00:01:15]However, those of us who serve only the most high God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob can easily see through the lies and deceptions of the slave masters religion.

[00:01:31]And we know for a fact that there is no mention of the Christian God man in the holy scriptures.

[00:01:41]For irrefutable evidence that supports this fact, please listen to my teaching entitled "The Truth About the King James Bible." That is, "The Truth About the King James Bible.

[00:01:59]On this channel, we have already examined most of the biblical passages often cited by Christians as evidence of Jesus in the Holy Scriptures. And it is clear that when read in context, they have absolutely nothing to do with the false god and idol of Christianity.

[00:02:27]These passages famously include Genesis chapter 3, Daniel chapter 7, Daniel chapter 9, Micah chapter 5, Isaiah chapter 9, Isaiah 42, Isaiah 49, Isaiah 53, Zechariah 9, Zechariah 12, and so much more.

[00:02:54]In today's teaching, we will examine Isaiah 48:16, which some Christians claim is undeniable evidence of Jesus in the Holy Scriptures. And we will discover that this could not be further from the truth.

[00:03:15]Listen closely.

[00:03:17]>> This verse is one of the clearest verse or passages that demonstrate the triune nature of God, which then would point to Jesus being amongst that triune nature.

[00:03:25]>> Christians [snorts] have already failed miserably to prove that Jesus is in any of the passages we have examined so far.

[00:03:37]But this lady believes that Isaiah 48:16 is one of the clearest examples of Jesus in the Holy Scriptures. Let's hear how she came to this erroneous conclusion.

[00:03:53]>> It's Isaiah 48 verses 12 through 16.

[00:03:56]That passage you said was Isaiah, but it's actually a person that identifies himself as such. Verse 12 starts off by saying, "I am he. I am the first. I am also the last." It says, "I have laid the foundations of the earth with my hand and I have stretched the heavens with my right hand." Notice this person doesn't even need two hands to lay the foundation of the earth. He says, "From the beginning I was there and now the Lord God and his spirit have sent me."

[00:04:19]That's Isaiah 48 verses 12 through 16 where the speaker identifies himself as the first and the last. He gives you his spiritual resume, how he created the heavens and the earth with the one hand each, and then he goes on to say, "The Lord God" Wait, I thought this was the Lord God. I thought the first and last would be the Lord God. "And now his spirit", which the Christian would say is the Holy Spirit, "has sent me." And that's one of my favorite verses because I think it's one of the clearest passages that demonstrate the triune nature of God.

[00:04:40]>> We will soon discover that this sister has been deceived and that Isaiah chapter 48 verses 12 to 16 is not about the Christian idol.

[00:04:55]In the meantime, for those who wonder why it is impossible to find Jesus in the Holy Scriptures, it is because he never existed. He is a fictitious character which was created by the children of Lucifer, also known as the so-called white man, to lead the children of Israel into idolatry. To discover for yourself that the so-called historical evidence for the existence of Jesus is all fraudulent, please listen to my teaching entitled Jesus never existed. That is, Jesus never existed.

[00:05:47]Before personally demonstrating that Isaiah chapter 48 verse 16 is misunderstood and misused by many Christians, I will appeal to other Christian sources to demonstrate that they do not all agree that Jesus can be found in Isaiah 48 verse 16.

[00:06:14]This is important because if this passage were about Jesus, all Christians would agree on it and we would definitely expect it to be quoted in the Christian New Testament.

[00:06:31]On the contrary, we find that there are Christian Bible commentaries and Christian apologists who openly admit that this passage has nothing to do with Jesus. Furthermore, the writers of the Christian New Testament did not even bother to mention it because even they did not find it to be a sufficiently convincing argument.

[00:07:07]Let's start with a well-known Christian Bible commentary.

[00:07:12]Here is what it says about Isaiah chapter 48 verse 16 in Barnes' Notes on the Bible.

[00:07:21]Quote one.

[00:07:23]Many of the reformers and others since their time have supposed that this refers to the Messiah and have endeavored to derive a demonstration from this verse of the doctrine of the Trinity.

[00:07:40]The argument which it has been supposed these words furnish on that subject is that three persons are here spoken of.

[00:07:51]The person who sends, that is God the Father, the person who is sent, that is the Messiah, and the spirit who concurs in sending him, or by whom he is endowed.

[00:08:09]This is the same argument we heard earlier. Let's hear it again before I continue reading this quote.

[00:08:16]>> That's Isaiah 48:12-16, where the speaker identifies himself as the first and the last. He gives you his spiritual resume, how he created the heavens and the earth with one hand each, and then he goes on to say, "The Lord God." Wait, I thought this was the Lord God. I thought the first and last would be the Lord God. And now his spirit, which the Christian would say is the Holy Spirit, has sent me." And that's one of my favorite verses, because I think it's one of the clearest passages that demonstrate the triune nature of God.

[00:08:38]>> The quote continues.

[00:08:40]But, but, but, the evidence that this refers to the Messiah is too slight to lay the foundation for such an argument. And nothing is gained to the cause of truth by such forced interpretations.

[00:09:03]So, what we've just heard from this sister is a forced interpretation.

[00:09:10]It completely disregards the context of Isaiah chapter 48 and the rest of the book of Isaiah, and it attempts to force the Christian idol into the Holy Scriptures.

[00:09:27]When even a Christian Bible commentary exposes Christians who try to force their idol into Isaiah 48 verse 16, it becomes clear that the verse cannot possibly be evidence of Jesus in the holy scriptures.

[00:09:52]Quote two says this, Many refer it to Christ, BUT BUT BUT THE prophet designs no such thing. In other words, stop lying on the prophet Isaiah because he wrote nothing about anybody called Jesus Christ. Such forced and violent interpretations are to be avoided.

[00:10:27]This is saying that although many Christians insist that Isaiah 48 verse 16 is about Jesus, this is not what the prophet Isaiah intended when he wrote the passage. Christians must avoid such forced and violent attempts at reading the abominable god man into the holy scriptures. When they try to sneak Jesus into every page of the holy scriptures and they get exposed by their own Christian Bible commentaries, they lose all credibility and end up alienating the very people they're trying to convert to Christianity.

[00:11:19]For those who genuinely desire to understand the message intended by the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah chapter 48 verse 16, instead of trying to force the Christian idol into the passage, the key is to recognize that there are two different speakers in Isaiah 48:16.

[00:11:47]Again, there are two different speakers in Isaiah 48:16.

[00:11:57]The verse starts with the Most High as the speaker and it ends with the prophet Isaiah himself as the speaker.

[00:12:06]Here is an example of a Christian apologist explaining this fact and that it is also documented in many Christian Bible translations.

[00:12:22]>> If you follow a translation, many translations will tell you, "This last line, 'And now the Lord God and His Spirit has sent me,' that's not God speaking cuz God's words end previously.

[00:12:32]There I am. There am I." God's words end and now Isaiah comes to the forefront and says, "See, Jehovah sent me with His Spirit."

[00:12:38]>> It's really that simple.

[00:12:41]Abruptly switching speakers without introducing the next speaker is a common practice in the Holy Scriptures, which Christians call the Old Testament. This is why those of us who serve the Most High only and keep His commandments choose to rely on context to understand who is speaking in each passage.

[00:13:11]On the other hand, Christians who believe in the Trinity and are desperate to force their idol into Isaiah 48:16 simply assume that there is only one speaker in this passage. And naturally, they assume that this must be evidence of Jesus in the holy scriptures.

[00:13:40]Thankfully, some of them are still willing to avoid such forced and violent interpretations because they realize that they cannot prove that there is only one speaker in Isaiah 48:16.

[00:13:59]Here is an admission of this truth from the same Christian apologist.

[00:14:05]>> To be honest, it is difficult to conclusively prove there isn't a change in speaker. So, if you are not convinced of the Trinity, this is not a passage that's going to convince you. But, if you are a Trinitarian, any passage is going to convince you. You see, it comes to assumption. So, do I use this to prove the Trinity? No, because I would have to prove that the same speaker throughout is speaking till the end, and that's Jehovah.

[00:14:26]>> For irrefutable evidence that the most high God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is not part of any Trinity, please listen to my teaching entitled Is the Christian Trinity false?

[00:14:45]That is, is the Christian Trinity false?

[00:14:50]And the answer is yes. We can find another example of the abrupt switching of speakers without an introduction of the second speaker in Deuteronomy chapter 29:2-6.

[00:15:05]This is Deuteronomy chapter 29:2-6, and I will be reading from the Brenton Septuagint translation.

[00:15:17]It says, And the Moses called all the sons of Israel and said to them. So Moses is the speaker and he's about to say something to the children of Israel. He says, "Ye have seen all things that the Most High did in the land of Egypt before you to Pharaoh and his servants and all his land. The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs and those great wonders. Yet the Most High has not given you a heart to know and eyes to see and ears to hear until this day. And he, that's the Most High, led you 40 years in the wilderness. Your garments did not grow old and your sandals were not worn away off your feet."

[00:16:21]It should be very clear that these are the words of Moses. Yet the speaker abruptly switches in the very next verse. It says, "Ye did not eat bread.

[00:16:36]Ye did not drink wine or strong drink that ye might know that I am the Most High, your God."

[00:16:46]This is the Most High speaking.

[00:16:49]If we were to assume that there's only one speaker in this passage, it would lead to the false conclusion that Moses himself is the Most High. Again, verse six says, "Ye did not eat bread. Ye did not drink wine or strong drink that ye might know that I I'm the Most High."

[00:17:13]I'm the Most High.

[00:17:16]Your God.

[00:17:18]The context of the chapter and of the Holy Scriptures in general makes it clear that Moses is not the Most High. Therefore, it should also be clear that there is a second speaker and that this second speaker is the Most High himself.

[00:17:42]If we apply the same honesty to the book of Isaiah, we will come to the natural conclusion that the end of Isaiah 48:16 must also be an abrupt switch of speakers. This is because if the question Trinitarian interpretation of Isaiah 48:16 were correct, it would require us to disregard all the passages in the book of Isaiah where the Most High makes it clear that he is not part of a Trinity.

[00:18:21]Let's examine the passage in context so I can demonstrate that there are indeed two separate speakers and not one like the Christian lady suggested earlier in this video.

[00:18:38]The first speaker is the Most High himself and the second speaker is a prophet Isaiah.

[00:18:46]Isaiah chapter 48. I will read verses 12 to 18. That's Isaiah chapter 48:12-18 and it reads thus, "Hear me, O Jacob and Israel, whom I call. I am the singular, the first and I, NOT WE, but I, endure forever.

[00:19:17]My hand also has founded the earth, and my right hand has fixed the sky.

[00:19:27]I will call them, and they shall stand together, and all shall be gathered, and shall hear. Who has told them these things? Out of love to thee, I, not we, but I, have fulfilled thy desire on Babylon, to abolish the seed of the Chaldeans.

[00:19:53]I, this is the Most High, have spoken.

[00:19:58]I have called. I have brought him, and made his way prosperous. If the Most High wanted us to believe that he was part of a trinity of three persons, he would have said, "We have spoken. We have called. We have brought him, and made his way prosperous." But he says, "I," because there is none beside him.

[00:20:35]Verse 16.

[00:20:37]Draw nigh to me, singular, and hear ye these words. I, singular, have not spoken in secret from the beginning.

[00:20:51]When it took place, there was I, singular.

[00:20:57]So far, the Most High have been speaking to the children of Israel.

[00:21:04]But from this point onwards, the speaker abruptly switches to the prophet Isaiah.

[00:21:11]It says, "And now the Most High, even the Most High and his spirit, has sent me."

[00:21:21]This is the prophet Isaiah speaking, and this is not my personal interpretation.

[00:21:29]Many Christian Bible translations openly admit that these last words are spoken by the prophet Isaiah, and not by the Most High, because there has been a switch of speakers.

[00:21:49]>> If you follow a translation, many translations will tell you this last line, "And now the Lord God and his spirit has sent me." That's not God speaking, cuz God's words end previously. "There I am." "There am I."

[00:22:01]God's words end, and now Isaiah comes to the forefront and says, "See, Jehovah sent me with his spirit."

[00:22:05]>> As the prophet Isaiah is indeed the speaker at the end of verse 16, we should expect him to be delivering a message from the Most High in the very next verse, verse 17. And this is exactly what we find. Let's keep reading.

[00:22:26]Thus saith the Most High that delivered thee. So, this is a message that the Most High and his spirit sent with Isaiah the prophet. Thus saith the Most High that delivered thee, the Holy One of Israel. I am, singular, thy God.

[00:22:55]I have shown thee how thou shouldest find the way wherein thou shouldest walk. And if thou hadst hearkened to my commandments, then would thy peace have been like a river, and thy righteousness as a wave of the sea.

[00:23:14]It is useful to bear in mind that when the Holy Scriptures were written, they were not divided into chapters and verses.

[00:23:23]So, the idea of isolating verse 16 and assuming that it must be only one speaker did not exist until much later.

[00:23:34]The entire passage was written without divisions. And our forefathers understood that the Most High is our only God. It would have never occurred to them that this is evidence of a trinity.

[00:23:53]The repeated use of the first-person pronouns I, me, and my make it clear that the Most High is the only creator of the heavens and the earth, and that he is the one, not three in one, but one, that the children of Israel must draw nigh to. It is precisely because he is not part of any trinity that he is called the Holy One of Israel and not the Holy Three in One of Israel.

[00:24:37]In summary, just like there are two different speakers in Deuteronomy chapter 29, there are also two different speakers in Isaiah chapter 48.

[00:24:51]In Deuteronomy 29, the speakers are the Most High and the prophet Moses. And in Isaiah 48, the speakers are the Most High and the prophet Isaiah.

[00:25:07]Yet die-hard Trinitarians desperately try to violently force the abominable god man into Isaiah 48:16 because they believe that this verse is one of the clearest passages which demonstrates that the Most High is part of a trinity and that he shares his glory with the false god and idol of Christianity.

[00:25:38]Interestingly enough, this is the same chapter in which the Most High said that he would not share his glory with another.

[00:25:48]But Christians do not read in context, so they will never know this.

[00:25:55]>> This verse is one of the clearest verse or passages that demonstrate the triune nature of God, which then would point to Jesus being amongst that triune nature.

[00:26:03]>> If you are a Trinitarian, any passage is going to convince you. You see, it comes to assumption.

[00:26:07]>> If Christians stop making ridiculous assumptions and instead focus on studying the Holy Scriptures in context, they will discover for themselves that there is no mention of the Christian god man in the Holy Scriptures, not even once. And that's a fact.

[00:26:33]In conclusion, Isaiah 48:16 is not an example of Jesus in the Holy Scriptures, which Christians call the Old Testament. It is impossible to find the Christian god man in the Holy Scriptures because he never existed.

[00:26:58]Even some Christian Bible commentaries and Christian apologists know better than to try to violently force the Christian idol into Isaiah 48:16.

[00:27:15]Furthermore, there are Christian Bible translations which clearly state that the second speaker in Isaiah 48:16 is the prophet Isaiah himself.

[00:27:32]So, when Christians ignorantly claim that they have found Jesus in Isaiah 48:16, they are only embarrassing themselves.

[00:27:46]The time has come for the children of Israel to repent. Let go of the abominable Christian idol. Return to the Most High only and keep his commandments. And with that, I say, salaam.
