Prophecies of the OT Fulfilled in Jesus
Christ:
There have been
described in the Old Testament 300 prophecies of the first coming of the
Messiah and 500 of the second coming, all of then made hundreds of years
before the birth of Jesus and fulfilled to the letter in Jesus Christ, the
Messiah.
George Heron, a French
mathematician, calculated that the odds of one man fulfilling only 40 of
those prophecies are 1 in 10 to the power of 157. That is a 1
followed by 157 zeros. Compare it to this; your odds on winning the state
lottery are 14 followed by 6 zeros.
Another mathematician,
Dr. Peter S. Ruckman, claims the odds of being fulfilled only 60 of them by the only person who claimed to be the Son
of God, and who died on a "tree" on Calvary, and who rose the 3rd day are
astronomical!... not just one in one trillion, but one out of ten
to the 895th power. That is a one over a one followed by 895 zeros.
And still
more, because every page of the Old Testament talks and
prophecies and characterizes the coming of the Messiah, the Christ in
Greek... so, there are actually thousands of prophecies on the coming
of the Messiah, all of them fulfilled to the letter in Jesus Christ and His Church as they are shown in this
site.
Philip found Nathanael and
told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about
whom the prophets also wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
(Jn.1:45)
If you
believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me
(Jn.5:46).
And beginning with Moses and all the
Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures
concerning himself. (Lk.24:27)
He said to
them, This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must
be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets
and the Psalms. (Lk.24:44).
He told them, This is
what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the
third day, (Lk.24:46).

The Jewish
Mystery:
It is puzzling to consider why some Jews
do not recognize Jesus as the long promised and awaited Messiah, with so
many prophecies of the Scriptures fulfilled to the letter in Jesus of
Nazareth...
... One reason is that the
Scriptures make 300 prophecies of the "First Coming of the Messiah", as
the suffering servant of Is.53, but make 500 prophecies about the "Second
Coming of the Messiah", the triumphal King of Zach.14... to the point that
some rabbis talk about two Messiah, and for most Jews, the "triumphant
one" is the Messiah they were expecting...
... The Jews did not kill Jesus, the
Roman soldiers did, under the command of a Roman Governor, Pontius
Pilate... however the "real killers" of Jesus are you and I, because each
time we sin, "we crucify the Son of God for ourselves holding him up to
mockery" (Hebrews 6:6)...
... The Jews, and you
and I, were expecting a Messiah to bring us the kingdom of this world, but
Jesus offers us something infinitely bigger, the Kingdom of Heaven... and
for it we shout "crucify him"!... we expected a boss, and Jesus is only a
God. We wanted swords, and Jesus gives us palms. We were longing to be
bosses, but Jesus orders us to love. We were expecting to be victorious,
with honors, and Jesus commands us to forgive and to be humble... and for
it, as a criminal of high treason, we shout "crucify him"!...
The "Messiah" is an idea and hope that
runs through every page of the Holy Scriptures... with 300 prophecies
about his "First Coming", and 500 about his "Second Coming"... announcing
his character, his time of coming, the type and details of his church...
and the Messiah is the core of the heart of every Jew... He was promised
to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David... he shall save Israel and the
whole world!...
There have been many who claimed
to be the Messiah... the one who "will establish the throne of God's
Kingdom for ever" (Psa.12).
"Jesus of Nazareth", was
one of those who claimed to be the Messiah... racially and religiously
Jesus was born, lived, and died a loyal Jew. He at all times observed the
Jewish religious ceremonies rigorously. His first commandment was a direct
quotation of the "Schema", in Debt.6: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is
one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and
with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength"
(Mar.12:29-30).
Without any question, Jesus is
the most famous and influential person in the history of the human race...
He never wrote a book, but millions of books have been written on him...
He owned no property, won no medals, never held any political or religious
office, commanded no army... Yet no person in history has had such an
influence on the human race. Even the present year is dated from his
birth.
He said that he had come not to destroy,
but to fulfill the Jewish Laws. He announced his purpose in Luk.4 with the
words of Is.61:1-2: "The Lord anointed me to preach good tidings to the
poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom to the captives and recovering of
sight to the blind.
Jesus' reception, During
his life was a stormy one: The multitudes flocked to him, and many of them
acknowledge him as the Son of God and the long-awaited Messiah (Christ).
But the powerful forces in the Jewish congregation, Pharisees and
Sadducees, jealous of his popularity, incensed by his denunciation of some
of them, and bitterly critical of his disregard for formalism, his
willingness to violate some of the minor laws, and very specially for his
heretical claim that he was the Son of God, the Messiah, repudiated him,
and conspired to kill him... their final conspiracy was not after doing
something bad, but after resurrecting a 4 days death, Lazarus! (Jn.12)...
they were blind!, they could not see that he was really God... and
eventually they saw him crucified, fulfilling the scriptures, as he had
announced 3 times before... and after learning of his resurrection, they
persecuted his followers!...
