Messianic Prophecies Fulfilled in Jesus
The Prophecies of the Messiah, and How Strong Each One Is
Long before Jesus was born, the Hebrew Scriptures spoke of one who would come: born in Bethlehem, entering as a king on a donkey, pierced, buried with the rich, and not abandoned to the grave. Each page below sets the Old Testament promise beside its fulfillment in Jesus, gives you the real words of both, and tells you honestly how strong the connection is, from a direct New Testament quotation to a reading the church has long recognized. We would rather be trusted than impressive, so nothing here is overclaimed.
