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).

what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. (Lk.24:27)

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, Christ in Greek
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!...
"Jesus of Nazareth":
Born in Bethlehem, from the Tribe of Judah
and the house of David...
... without question, the most famous and influential person in the history of the human
race, the greatest asset of Israel...
... the "lamb of God" who takes away the sins of the world, of Isaiah 53 and
John 1...
... the long-awaited Messiah (the Christ, in Greek)... the only one God incarnated!
