The Old Testament is filled with prophecies about Jesus as the coming Messiah, the King who would come to save his people.
Just to mention a few, we can read how he would be born by a virgin in Bethlehem (Isa 7:17; Mic 5:2), come from the lineage of David and reign forever (2 Sam 7:13, 16; Isa 9:6-7), that he would be identified as God’s Son (2 Sam 7; Ps 2, cp. Luk 9:35) and heal the sick (Isa 35).
We can also read how the promised Messiah would be betrayed (Ps 41; 109), hated and must suffer (Ps 69). Psalm 22 describes in detail 1000 years before Jesus’ death his crucifixion (cp. Zech 12:10). In a similar way Isaiah 53 gives a captivating description about how the Messiah, the Suffering Servant, must suffer and die and Psalms 16 speaks about his resurrection. In the four Gospels it becomes clear that Jesus is the fulfillment of the many prophecies about the promised Messiah.
