do not mention the time.
When the Messiah is spoken of as great and glorious, it is as the judge of
the world, and not its Redeemer.
He is to be the victim for the sins of the world. Is. 39:53. etc.
He is to be the precious corner-stone. Is. 28:16.
He is to be a stone of stumbling and offence. Is. viii. Jerusalem is to dash
against this stone.
The builders are to reject this stone. Ps. 117:22.
God is to make this stone the chief corner-stone.
And this stone is to grow into a huge mountain and fill the whole earth.
Dan. 2.
So He is to be rejected, despised, betrayed (Ps. 108:8), sold (Zech. 11:12),
spit upon, buffeted, mocked, afflicted in innumerable ways, given gall to
drink (Ps. 68), pierced (Zech. 12), His feet and His hands pierced, slain,
and lots cast for His raiment.
He will rise again (Ps. 15) the third day (Hosea 6:3).
He will ascend to heaven to sit on the right hand. Ps. 110.
The kings will arm themselves against Him. Ps. 2.
Being on the right hand of the Father, He will be victorious over His
enemies.
The kings of the earth and all nations will worship Him. Is. lx.
