Hundreds of Prophecies Fulfilled in Jesus Christ



Jesus said, the Scriptures "testify of me" (John 5:39) and "all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms (Old Testament), concerning me" (Luke 24:44). What things? Where? "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself" (Luke 24:27) because "to him give all the prophets witness" (Acts 10:43). Old Testament scripture is a "shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the thing" (Heb. 10:1). 1. The serpent would bruise Messiah's heel (through crucifixion) (Gen. 3:15). To heal us, he was lifted up on a pole and became sin (a brazen serpent) for us (Num. 21:9). 2. He was the Passover Lamb (Ex. 12:6), silent before his accusers (Isa. 53:7), selected "four days" (4000 years) before being killed (Ex. 12:3-6), "according to the scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:1-4) with no bones broken (Ex. 12:46; Ps. 34:20; John 19:36). They "pierced" his "hands and feet" (Ps. 22:16; Zech. 12:10). 3. He carried the wooden crossbeam to Mount Moriah like Isaac carried the firewood there (Gen. 22:6). Both were tied to it. By a miracle from God, Sarah gave birth to Isaac when she was "past age" (Heb.11:11) just as by a miracle Mary gave birth while still a virgin (Isa. 7:14). 4. He was hated (Isa. 53:3) and rejected by his brothers (Luke 19:14) and sold for thirty pieces of silver (Ex. 21:32; Zech. 11:12) just as Joseph was hated and rejected by his brothers and sold for twenty pieces of silver (Gen. 37:28) -- the price of a slave in both cases. All eventually will bow the knee to Christ as they did to Joseph (Gen. 41:43) who was separated, Nazir (Gen. 49:26; Deut. 33:16) from his brethren. 5. Samson was a Nazirite (Judges 13:3-5) just as Jesus was called a Nazarene "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets" (Matt. 2:22-23). Both Samson and Jesus spoke in parables (Ps. 78:1-2; Matt. 13:34-35). Samson was arrested by a mob of his own people of Judah and ultimately voluntarily gave his life for them while in Philistine captivity (Judges 15:6-13). Likewise, Jesus was arrested by a mob of His own people of Judah (Mark 14:43-50) and died voluntarily for them while in Roman captivity. He was a suffering servant (Isa. 53). 6. Moses came out of Egypt just as Jesus did (Hos. 11:1) and picked twelve men to search out the Promised Land (Number 13) just as Yeshua, "a prophet like me" (Deut. 18:15), picked twelve men to search for Bible followers to enter the kingdom of heaven (Mark 3:13). Moses brought the letter of the law, which reveals sin (Deut.). Yeshua brought the spirit and intent of the law, which reveals sinful intent. He "will magnify the law, and make it honourable" (Isa. 42:21). Moses' face shone at his second coming down the mountain (Ex. 34:29) just as Christ's face will shine at his second coming down the mount (Rev. 1:16). "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me." (John 5:46). 7. Six steps led to Solomon's throne (2 Chr. 9:17-19) just as 6000 years lead to the Messiah's Millenium of wealth (1 Ki. 3:13), wisdom (4:29) and peace (1 Chr. 22:9). 8. Joshua (Yeshua) will cause Israel (Bible-followers) to inherit the Promised Land (Eternal Life) (Deuteronomy 1-4). The 42 encampments before Joshua's bloody conquest (Num. 33) parallel 42 generations from Abraham to Yeshua's bloody conquest (Matt. 1). 9. With a stone, David smote Goliath, a bronze and iron giant, after killing a lion and bear (1 Sam. 17). In the same way, Jesus is the Stone (1 Pet. 2:8) that smites the gold (lion), silver (bear), bronze and iron image of man (Daniel 2:34). Both David and Jesus were kings over all Israel for thirty-three years (2 Sam. 5:4-5; 1 Ki. 2:11). Herod died in 4 BC. which is when Jesus was born. Jesus began his ministry at about thirty years of age (Luke 3:23). So did David. Priests must be 30 years old (Num. 4:30-31). Three Passovers are recorded for Jesus ministry. Then he died in 31 AD making 33 1/2 year ministry. Both David (1 Sam. 16:1-4) and our Lord Jesus (Micah 5:2) were born in Bethlehem. Jesus was David's seed (2 Sam. 7:12; Jer. 23:5-6). 10. Elijah was forty days without food in desert (1 Ki. 19:8) and Jesus was forty days without food in the desert (Matt. 4:1-2). Elijah was "three years and six months” in the wilderness, and during that time there was no rain and a great famine was in the land (James. 5:17; 1 Kings 17:7; 18:2). After that, Elijah exposed the errors of Jezebel's priests and put an end to their sacrificing, the true God was honored, and copious rains followed (1 Kings 18: 41-45). Then Elijah "went up ... into heaven" (2 Kings 2:11).  In the same way, commencing in the middle of the seven years, Jesus will "put an end to sacrifice and offering" (Dan. 9:27) indicating a "three years and six months" ministry to a spiritually-starving earth (27-31 AD) fulfilling Daniel's 70-weeks prophecy. The pharisees were exposed. Yeshua was then "taken up ... into heaven" (1:11) and gave his Holy Spirit (former and latter rain). 11. When our Lord returns with "his face ... like the sun, and his clothes ... dazzling white" (Matt. 17:2) on Yom Kippur, the whole world will repent. Jonah typified this glorious second coming by having his skin bleached white inside the belly of a fish. Just as the Ninevites worshipped the fish god and so repented at the preaching of a man who came out of a fish after three days, so also the world now worships a living resurrected God and so will repent at the preaching of our Lord Yeshua who came out of the grave after three days, when he returns from heaven. Yes "he was buried, and ... rose again the third day according to the scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). The beached fish vomited Jonah onto dry land, and then probably died, pointing forward to how the grave was destroyed by our Lord’s resurrection. "The (sea) weeds were wrapped about my head" (Jonah 2:5) just as Jesus had a crown of thorns on his head. On the first day in the city, Jonah told them that in 40 days God would destroy Nineveh (Jonah 3:4), just as Jesus told the Jews that in 40 years God would destroy Jerusalem (Matt. 16:4). 12. "About 2000 cubits" (Josh. 3:4) separated the ark from Israel just as about 2000 years separate the first coming of our Lord (26-27 AD) from the resurrection of Christians (2026 AD). "Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me" (Psalm 40:7).

The test for a prophet was 100% accuracy (Deuteronomy 18:20-22). The penalty for failing the test was death. Yet, in marked contrast to any other religious writings, about 30% of the Bible is prophecy! Let’s just consider one of the many types of prophecies contained in the Bible: those regarding the Messiah. McDowell presents 61 specific prophecies that were clearly fulfilled in Christ. These include: His birthplace, the flight to Egypt, His ancestry, the slaughter of the innocents, His being preceded by a messenger, the ministry starting in Galilee, His teaching with parables, His entry into Jerusalem on a colt, His betrayal by a friend, the 30 pieces of silver, His death upon a tree, the garments parted and lots cast, the gall and vinegar offered, His side pierced but no bones broken, the darkness over the land, and His burial with the rich, and His resurrection. Even if an impostor sought to pawn himself off as meeting some of these, there are a great many (like the events of one’s birth) beyond his control. In his book Science Speaks, Peter Stoner has calculated the odds of just eight of the most remarkable prophecies coming true in the life of any man in human history as a mind-boggling 1 in 10 to the 17th power. These are not common predictions that have decent odds of happening. No other religion in the world even makes a pretense that its founder is still alive, yet the prophets predicted the resurrection (Psalm 16:10). Remarkably, the exact timing of the Messiah’s arrival was given in Daniel 9:24-27. Many of the Old Testament prophecies (like Malachi 3:1) demand that the temple be standing when the Messiah came. It was destroyed in A.D. 70 in fulfillment of Christ’s prophecy (Matthew 24:2). Indeed, there was a narrow historical window in which the Messiah could come. For it was determined in Genesis 49:10 that he would be born before Israel lost the governmental scepter (the rabbis lost the right of capital punishment so important to their law in AD 7). That is why they had to appeal to Pilate in John 18:31. But Messiah had to be condemned after the Jews lost that right because it was predicted that he was to die by crucifixion (Psalm 22:16), rather that the Jewish method of stoning.
