What major Old Testament prophecies did Jesus fulfill? 

I discovered Reasons to Believe through Hugh Ross's astrophysics teachings. Reason's to Believe has to be my number one source of information other than the Bible in all matters concerning Christ. I highly recommend it!

Thank you Hugh! Blessings from the Lord and Savior whom you serve!

I love and respect you Hugh, for the Truth you speak, and write, on my Lord’s behalf!

Thank you!

Zechariah 12:10 and 13:6 written 500 years before Jesus! The messiah would be pierced in his hands! Isaiah 9:6 written 700 years before Jesus! God would be born!

Im not the best bible scholar at all... so when I was reading. Pslams an ran into Psalm 22 I leapt out of my chair! like holy crap! LOL.. was very cool.. also talks about you can count all my bones, pierced my hands an feet... was wild! fun when you find it yourself! BOOM!!!!! moment.

Jesus was foretold by prophets 500yrs before his birth. Amen. Praise jesus the lord our god

The story of Jesus saturates the metanarrative of the Bible, and prophecies of His first advent are found throughout the Old Testament. Allusions to Him also come up in micro ways, as many people and events hint at the work He would accomplish. One scholar, J. Barton Payne, has found as many as 574 verses in the Old Testament that somehow point to or describe or reference the coming Messiah. Alfred Edersheim found 456 Old Testament verses referring to the Messiah or His times. Conservatively, Jesus fulfilled at least 300 prophecies in His earthly ministry.

I have several of your books. I greatly respect your work Thank you Question: several mention that Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies, even David Jeremiah in a sermon of his. I’ve heard that number (300) several times. But what’s the list? I’d like to study for personal use and potential evangelism or apologetics

Revelation 19:10b says…” worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. “ And Peter after seeing Jesus transfigured and hearing the voice out of the cloud “this is my beloved Son…” says in 2 Peter 1:19 “And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts…” For Jesus The Messiah to fulfill hundreds of prophecies given thousands and hundreds of years before he ever came is beyond probability. It is the word made more sure , He is certainty and we can have total confidence in that testimony. He is the Rock we are to stand on. ‭ We Christians have certainty it’s up to us to believe in that certainty. And boldly proclaim with confidence the gospel as we have received it…

I do love how they connect but sometimes I feel like the new testament God is somehow different than the original Jewish God worshipped in the old testament. When Jesus is tempted by the devil in the beginning of the new testament and the devil says he has the power to give him all his Dominion being earth, wouldn't the Old testament have that power and not Satan unless the Old testament God is just good and bad and plays both roles. I know the first ever new testament writer believed similar ideas is this crazy and horrible to think.

the prophecies he "fulfilled" were simply events that were easily expected to happen, and with insight and manipulation they can be more or less perceived as an ancient to do list that got popularity over the world
