Acts 8:34

1. Several questions are in his mind.

1. Is Isaiah talking about himself as this suffering servant?

2. Is some other person in the past being discussed? Maybe Moses or Jeremiah.

3. Is this speaking of a person in the past or a future event?

2. Many Old Testament prophecies were written about future events, but written as if they had already occurred. "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter." Written in the past tense, as if this has already taken place.
