Isaiah 40:3 "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the L-RD, make straight in the desert a highway for our G-d."
Compare with
Matthew 3:1-3 "In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the L-RD, make his paths straight."
Have you noticed the Tenach and the New Covenant interact with each other and give the same witness concerning the Messiah.

Isaiah 53:4
Isaiah 53:4 "Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of G-d, and afflicted."
Compare with
Matthew 8: 16-17 "When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils; and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."
Yeshua is the one being talked about in the Tenach(Old Covenant) and in the New Covenant. He is the one sent from G-d, wrapped in human flesh to be born of a virgin, anointed of G-d to bear our sins on the tree of Golgotha, to pay for our sins with his blood poured out, to be buried and rise bodily in three days, to ascend up into heaven after many days and coming again to set up his thousand year kingdom. What a holy G-d we serve.

The Lowly King - Comparing The Tenach and The New Covenant
In the Tenach Zechariah 9:9 says "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass."
compare with
Matthew 21:1 "And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then s
ent Yeshua(Jesus) two disciples, Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them , and bring them unto me . And if any man say ought unto you,, ye shall say, The L-rd hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, Thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass."

Two Messiah's?
As a whole, people understand that Messiah comes from the line of David and is from Bethlehem . Tenach prophecies of this. "Behold, the days come saith the L-RD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgement and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE L-RD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." Jeremiah 23:5,6.
These verses speak of the thousand year kingdom when Messiah shall reign. This event is yet to happen. Micah 5:2 speaks of the birth place of Messiah when he came the first time and is one of the ways a person can recognize who the Messiah is. "But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." Not only do these verses prophecy The Messiah's birth but also it states Messiah has always been and his reign as king is to be, which means The Messiah's reign is in the future, not at the same time as his first coming.
The tenach tells of different purposes for The Messiah's two comings, the first time to be the suffering lamb of G-d which taketh away the sins of the world( Isaiah chapter 53) and the second time to rule and reign in Jerusalem. Because of two separate comings of the one Messiah some people mistakenly think there are two Messiah's and use the prophecy of Joseph in Genesis 49: 22-24 as proof that there are two Messiahs and the second Messiah comes from the tribe of Joseph . Verse 24 says"But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty G-d of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)" People think the phrase "From thence is the shepherd" is speaking of a Messiah, the second one that will come from the tribe of Joseph. You will notice before the phrase, from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel, the verse is speaking of G-d and the phrase is clarifying where the shepherd is coming from, not from Jacob but from G-d. Once again this verse is speaking of Messiah's deity, he is from G-d and not from the tribe of Joseph.

Babes, Guns, and The Bible
People are reasoning that Bible believing people are hypocritical because they are against abortion but are for guns. I would like to attempt to explain the difference to anyone that is sincere in wanting to understand.
"Lo, children are an heritage of the L-RD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward." We can not have children without having babies first. They are directly linked to the blessing of God, his heritage to us. We can not continue to exist without babies. They are the future. Without babies there is no next generation. To kill an unborn child is to kill the future, to kill a living life itself
Guns have never killed one single person. Guns are not immoral or moral. Guns have no purpose for good or for evil.Guns are no different than a car that kills a pedestrian or runs head first into an oncoming car in the next lane killing all passengers. The action behind the gun or car comes from people's actions just as a murdered baby comes from a person(s)actions. The person is responsible for the action, killing, not the object whether a knife in an abortion murder or a gun in a murder. If people were consistent they would want knife banned so there would be no more abortions. Of course this is absurd. It is the people behind the knifes that kill, not the knife just as the people behind the guns do the killing, not the guns.
The Bible sums it up "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the L-RD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings." Jeremiah 17: 9-10
We will reap what we sow. If anyone repents toward G-d and has faith toward our L-rd Yeshua(Jesus) G-d will forgive and give us new hearts. "Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statues, and ye shall keep my judgements, and do them." Ezekiel 36: 25-27
