Last year, I wrote a short post concerning my fascination with the relationship of Presuppositional Apologetics and Messianic Prophecies which you can read about HERE. I do believe that it’s important for the apologist to be conscious of worldview and philosophical undercurrents behind those who might rule out Messianic prophecies that attests to the Christian faith as true, and would love to see more Presuppositionalists engage with Messianic prophecies, while those apologists who engage with the exegetical and historical work of Messianic prophecies be more equipped with Presuppositional apologetics as the framework of going about defending the faith! To that end, I think this post might be appropriate for readers to be better equipped with knowledge of the amazing Messianic prophecy of Isaiah 53.
Earlier this year (2012), John MacArthur had a mini-series going through Isaiah 53, focusing on it as Messianic Prophecy of Jesus Christ. They are made available by Grace to You ministries, and below, you can download each individual messages.

Nice!
Thank you.
You’re welcome Z!
Just downloaded the first message – I’ll have a listen on the way home from work.
I’m pleased there is a lot we can agree on. So thanks for sorting that out earlier.
I wanted to send you a book until I saw how much it was! If I can find it at a good price I’ll ask you where to send it. I’m going to put some excerpts on my blog. ‘Preaching: Pure & Simple’ by Stuart Olyott.
Thanks Mike. No hard feelings from our side. We are brothers.
Also, if you ever have any questions pertaining to the topic of preaching, please feel free to ask us.
Wow…Amazon sells it for an over inflated price, I’m going to have to try to look for that book through some Christian used book stores in Southern California, seeing that libraries aren’t carrying it
Yes I was shocked at the price. I’m going to quote from it but it means typing it all out. 😦
No problems here either bro – have always appreciated the fellowship.
Just heard (tonight) Dr MacArthur preach on Isaiah 53 at Pastor Begg’s Parkside Church. He’s writing a new book covering this topic in one of the chapters.
Wow Alf do you attend Pastor Begg’s church?
