These prophecies, written centuries before His birth, are seen as divine revelations pointing to the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The fulfillment of these prophecies is considered evidence of the divine inspiration of Scripture and the authenticity of Jesus as the Christ.<br><br><b>Birth and Lineage</b><br><br>1. <b>Virgin Birth</b>: <a href="/isaiah/7-14.htm">Isaiah 7:14</a> prophesies, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel." This prophecy is fulfilled in <a href="/matthew/1-22.htm">Matthew 1:22-23</a>, where the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary is described.<br><br>2. <b>Born in Bethlehem</b>: <a href="/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a> states, "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come forth for Me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times." This is fulfilled in <a href="/matthew/2.htm">Matthew 2:1</a>, which records Jesus' birth in Bethlehem.<br><br>3. <b>Lineage of David</b>: <a href="/jeremiah/23-5.htm">Jeremiah 23:5</a> proclaims, "Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and He will reign wisely as king and will administer justice and righteousness in the land." Jesus' lineage is traced to David in <a href="/matthew/1.htm">Matthew 1:1-16</a> and <a href="/luke/3-23.htm">Luke 3:23-38</a>.<br><br><b>Ministry</b><br><br>1. <b>Preceded by a Messenger</b>: <a href="/isaiah/40-3.htm">Isaiah 40:3</a> foretells, "A voice of one calling: 'Prepare the way for the LORD in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert.'" This is fulfilled by John the Baptist, as described in <a href="/matthew/3.htm">Matthew 3:1-3</a>.<br><br>2. <b>Ministry in Galilee</b>: <a href="/isaiah/9.htm">Isaiah 9:1-2</a> predicts, "Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress... the people walking in darkness have seen a great light." Jesus' ministry in Galilee fulfills this prophecy, as noted in <a href="/matthew/4-13.htm">Matthew 4:13-16</a>.<br><br>3. <b>Miracles and Healing</b>: <a href="/isaiah/35-5.htm">Isaiah 35:5-6</a> describes the Messiah's miraculous works: "Then the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then the lame will leap like a deer, and the mute tongue will shout for joy." The Gospels, such as <a href="/matthew/11-4.htm">Matthew 11:4-5</a>, recount Jesus performing these miracles.<br><br><b>Suffering and Death</b><br><br>1. <b>Betrayed for Thirty Pieces of Silver</b>: <a href="/zechariah/11-12.htm">Zechariah 11:12-13</a> predicts, "So they paid me thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said to me, 'Throw it to the potter—the magnificent price at which they valued me!'" This is fulfilled in <a href="/matthew/26-14.htm">Matthew 26:14-16 and 27</a>:3-10, where Judas betrays Jesus.<br><br>2. <b>Crucifixion</b>: <a href="/psalms/22-16.htm">Psalm 22:16-18</a> vividly describes the Messiah's suffering: "They have pierced my hands and feet... They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing." This prophecy is fulfilled in the crucifixion accounts, such as <a href="/john/19-23.htm">John 19:23-24</a>.<br><br>3. <b>Silent Before Accusers</b>: <a href="/isaiah/53-7.htm">Isaiah 53:7</a> states, "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth." This is fulfilled in <a href="/matthew/27-12.htm">Matthew 27:12-14</a>, where Jesus remains silent before His accusers.<br><br><b>Resurrection and Ascension</b><br><br>1. <b>Resurrection</b>: <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm">Psalm 16:10</a> prophesies, "For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay." This is fulfilled in the resurrection of Jesus, as proclaimed in <a href="/acts/2-31.htm">Acts 2:31-32</a>.<br><br>2. <b>Ascension</b>: <a href="/psalms/68-18.htm">Psalm 68:18</a> declares, "When You ascended on high, You led captives away; You received gifts from men." This is fulfilled in Jesus' ascension, as described in <a href="/acts/1-9.htm">Acts 1:9-11</a>.<br><br>The fulfillment of these and many other prophecies underscores the belief in Jesus as the Messiah, the anointed one sent by God to redeem humanity. These prophecies, meticulously recorded and fulfilled, form a cornerstone of Christian faith, demonstrating the continuity and divine orchestration of God's redemptive plan through history.</div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><a name="sub" id="sub"></a><div class="vheading2">Subtopics</div><p class="pspc"><a href="/topical/m/messianic.htm">Messianic</a></p><a name="rel" id="rel"></a><div class="vheading2">Related Terms</div><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/m/messiah.htm">Messiah (9 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/f/finds.htm">Finds (71 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/f/findeth.htm">Findeth (66 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/m/messianic.htm">Messianic</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/m/met.htm">Met (118 Occurrences)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/topical/m/messianic_prophecies.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Messianic Prophecies"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Messianic Prophecies" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/topical/m/messianic_prophecy.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Messianic Prophecy"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Messianic Prophecy" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div> <div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"><script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script></div></td></tr></table></div></div></div> <br /><br /> <div align="center"> <div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
