In the first sample for Isaiah chapter 41, the Lord makes a connection to the 41st book of the Bible with only God being able to foretell the future.
In Isaiah chapter 41 God asks the question, “Who can declared from the beginning that we may know?” Then in the book of Mark Jesus answers the question by saying “I have foretold you all things.”
ISAIAH 41:23
Shew (show) the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods…
26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? And beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth…MARK 13:4
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
23 (Jesus answered)… I have foretold you all things.
The entire chapter of Mark 14 deals with Jesus declaring the future.
• He predicts the destruction of the temple, which happened in 70 AD.
• He predicts what will happen in the tribulation period.
• He predicts His return.
• He predicts this heaven and earth will pass away.
This is a great connection showing the deity of Christ.
In the second sample for Isaiah chapter 41, the Lord makes a connection to the 41st book of the Bible with both having miracles so “that you may see and know” it is of God.
ISAIAH 41:18 …I will make the wilderness a pool of water ,and the dry land springs of water.
20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, That the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel…MARK 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God alone?
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
11…Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way…
12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw it on this fashion.
This is also a great connection showing the deity of Christ.
