“Now I Will Be Exalted”

At that time John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying,
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying:
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Yehowah; Make His paths straight.’” (Matthew 3:1–3)

As it is written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You. The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Yehowah; Make His paths straight,’”
John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance
for the remission of sins… (Mark 1:1–4)

“I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me.” (Isaiah 45:5)

The LORD says, “Now I will arise; Now I will be exalted;
Now I will lift Myself up.” (Isaiah 33:10)

This was to fulfill the word of the prophet Isaiah, who said:
“Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?”
Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.” (John 12:38–40)

All the prophets and apostles believed in the one and only God, the Yehowah.
They believed that Jesus Christ the LORD who became flesh was raised from the dead.
They believed beforehand, they believed after seeing with their own eyes,
and we believe by looking back at what has been fulfilled. Hallelujah!!
