F - MESSIANIC PROPHECIES FULFILLED IN CHRIST THE LORD

GENESIS 3:15, GALATIANS 4:4

MATTHEW 1:2O-21
The messianic prophecies refer to those established in the Old Testament in which attested/attest
to the coming of the Messiah (the promised savior). Every man who proclaimed himself the Messiah of
Israel was to be examined if so, based on these prophecies. In Jesus Christ all these prophecies are
fulfilled and this is a powerful argument that can be used to evangelize the Jews, in showing evidence
that he is the one that Israel awaits.
These are the prophecies first written in the times of Genesis (6,000 years ago) and continued to
be reaffirmed until the year 450 B.C. (in other words until 450 years before the lord Christ comes to earth
in human flesh).
Below are 72 prophecies from the Old Testament complimented by the New Testament,
confirming that Jesus is The Messiah.
