Messianic Prophecies

Is Jesus really back there, in the Old Testament? Have the predictions about Jesus been fulfilled by His coming, by His life? Is there any way of showing that Jesus is truly back there?

Jesus as the Messiah, as predicted in the Old Testament, is fundamental to the Christian faith. Believers are convinced that Jesus spoke Truth when He said: John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. [KJV]

The Jews believe the Messiah would be a Deliverer who would rescue Israel from her enemies and establish Jerusalem as the capital of a world government. Since Jesus did not do this at His first coming, they refuse to believe He is the Messiah, and keep looking for Him to come.

Christians Believe Prophecy About Christ

• He will be despised and rejected (Is.53:3).
• He will die for our sin (Is.53:6).
• He will be “cut off” (die) before the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple (Dan.9:24-27).
• He will live, after He dies (Is.53:10).
• He will justify many (Is.53:11).
• He will be a light to the Gentiles (Is.49:6).

Christians believe that these prophecies show the Messiah as suffering, dying and rising from death to provide salvation from sin’s penalty before restoring Israel and ruling the Earth from Jerusalem (the millennium).

I think the following prophecies and their fulfillment should be proof that Jesus is indeed back there in the Old Testament.
