Fullfilled Prophecies of Jesus Christ

What could be more amazing than to read precise predictions of the events of a person's life hundreds of years before his birth? Surely that would be a mark of divine knowledge and involvement, wouldn't it?

The Old Testament is filled with just such prophecies—giving minute details of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, providing overwhelming evidence that there is a mind and power at work that far transcends the human mind. The accuracy of such prophecies shows us why we can—and should—believe in Bible prophecy.

Psalm 89:3-4 prophesies that Jesus would be a descendant of King David: "I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David: Your seed I will establish forever, and build up your throne to all generations." Isaiah 11:1 similarly prophesies that "there shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse (David's father), and a Branch shall grow out of his roots." Jesus' genealogies in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 verify that these prophecies were fulfilled.

God inspired Isaiah to tell us that Jesus would be born of a virgin: "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14; confirmed in Matthew 1:18-23).
