Old Testament Messianic Prophecies – Introduction

Recently I have considered the faith we have in the Messiah, and how some may call it “blind faith” or that we have “faith in faith”, or that “it doesn’t matter what you believe, as long as you have faith in something”.

What rot!

Our faith is a faith based in fact. Historical occurrences, where God has not done His work “in a corner” (Acts 26:26).

When I first believed, I received a book that spoke of the prophecies of the Old Testament and the fulfillment of these prophecies in the person of Christ. My faith was repositioning itself from a fear/feeling faith to a friendship/fact faith. (alliteration is somewhat difficult!)

Nevertheless, the prophecies of the Christ (as all of the Word) are provided to us so that we may have encouragement and endurance for the race ahead.

Romans 15:4

For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

With this introduction, I would like to offer a document providing over 350 prophecies found in the Old Testament, that the New Testament claims has found fulfillment in the Lord Jesus.

I make no claim to be able to comment on every one of these amazing prophecies in the future, but will occasionally bring one to the readers attention for their edification.
