Prophecies About Jesus In The Old Testament
When it comes to the Bible, there are some whom believe it is the Word of God, there are also others whom believe it to be nothing more than fiction. In either case, the early books host a number of prophecies about Jesus. While later books, including the gospels seem to confirm many have been fulfilled.
Like with palm and card readers, there still remains a great deal of disbelief, especially when it comes to the Bible. For, first an individual must believe the writings in the Old Testament are true and correct based on an actual timeline of events. Whereas, Christians often believe by faith alone that the New Testament gospels relay the actual actions and messages of Jesus Christ.
Over time, there have been professors, scholars and theologians whom have attempted to prove the odds that Christ could have fulfilled over four hundred prophecies, those odds being over 1.5 million has caused a great deal of disbelief and skepticism even among the most scholarly individuals. As such, while there have been approximately fifty five which most Christian theologians believe to have come to pass, that number is far less than the four hundred others believe to be the case.
In retrospect, there are also a number of Christians and reformed Jews whom believe that most Old Testament prophecies have been fulfilled by the Messiah, or the man known as Christ. At the same time, it should be noted that anyone whom states to confirm such findings is most likely doing so as an act of faith rather than scientific proof. For, the individual must also believe the prophecies as relayed in the earliest books of the Bible have also been fulfilled.
There appears to be a connection with regards to some predictions which appear to have been fulfilled, this is not always the case. For, there are are only a few people whom have been able to prove that any earlier prophecies have come to pass. With the first being, that the Messiah would come from the tribe of Judah as portrayed in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, Chapter 49, Verse 10.
Amazingly, a thousand five hundred years later in New Testament writings, there appears to be proof that the mortal Jesus came from the tribe of Judah as had been predicted in Genesis. Whereas, one of the most important predictions which Christians believe is that the Messiah would be a descendant of King David as provided in Jeremiah 23:5 and Psalms 132:11.
In either case, each prophecy tends to lead to another to the point it is hard to believe that so many could ever be fulfilled. In addition, as the Jewish religion believes in the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament, it is unlikely that orthodox Jews would believe any teachings of the New Testament as related to Christ being the Messiah. For, while Christians see the Messiah and Jesus as one in the same, orthodox Jews see the two as being separate and apart.
To better understand Biblical time and associated prophecies, it is often recommended that individuals seek out knowledge in a number of publications related to the history of the time. In doing so, individuals can then determine whether predictions in the Old Testament have been fulfilled based on an actual timeline of history along with, if and when necessary, faith.
