JESUS AND THE GENTILES

In Isaiah 42:1–6, there is a prophecy about Jesus. It is known to be a prophecy of Jesus because Matthew, in his Gospel, quotes it, “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,” … (Matthew 12:17).

There are plenty of prophecies in the Old Testament which were pointing to Christ’s first coming. “And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.” (Luke 24:44).

Ac 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

The first step in God’s restitution, before Jesus comes (read the passage in Acts 3) is that obvious His Word needs to be restored, and that included the idea of having knowledge of the exact words (the text), the the exact sense (the translation), etc., and that we are bereft of options (the modernists are against this idea) leaving the only contender fitting in on every level and in every way being the King James Bible.
