The Plan
Prophecy Thread of Week 39
Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary Definition of Truth:
Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be. The truth of history constitutes its whole value. We rely on the truth of the scriptural prophecies.
MESSIAH THE LIGHT OF SALVATION TO THE GENTILES
The Gentiles are the non-Hebrew people. This prophecy states that the Messiah will bring salvation not only to Israel, but for the Gentiles as well. This is true today as well as in the age to come when Jesus Christ will rule from Jerusalem on earth.

THE SERVANT OF THE LORD
