That’s right.

Several years ago (in 2012) I placed here on the Website a much more detailed study of Isaiah 53, verse by verse in fact. If you’re interested … just visit our “Bible Study Pages Archive.” Then search for “Isaiah 53.”

Meanwhile today … I’d like to share with you a line from verse 9 of that great Prophecy. “And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death.”

Jesus, associated with “the wicked” … how so? The two “thieves” or “malefactors” between whom He was crucified!

Luke 23:33 … “And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the MALEFACTORS, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.”

And linked somehow to “the rich” … as well? Yes, the man who buried Him was indeed wealthy!

Matthew 27:57-58 … “When the even was come, there came a RICH MAN of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple. He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.”

Wow!

Details … being fulfilled in Jesus’ Death!

Details written 700 years prior to the Event!

“Truly this man was the Son of God.” Mark 15:39

In fact, He still is!
