Jesus fulfilled many Old Testament prophecies that perfectly predicted key events in the life of Jesus the Messiah, centuries before He came into the world by taking on human form as a baby. Prophetically so, He had to be born at a certain time, in a certain place, and with a certain lineage, so as to be able to also fulfill very precise prophecies. And, as the prophecies are so detailed, the mathematical probability that any one person could credibly be claimed to have fulfilled them would be impossible - that is, UNLESS the prophecies came from God Himself! And yet, the astounding recorded history of Jesus' life, ministry, death, and Resurrection are each recorded in great detail in the New Testament Gospels, per the eyewitnesses and testimonies included within it. Watch as Hugh Ross explains some of the major prophecies and how they were perfectly fulfilled by Jesus - see the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGmd0SV1Wo0
The great Old Testament prophet Isaiah prophesied seven centuries before the birth of Jesus into the world. And in Isaiah 9 he prophesied about a human child who would also be God, with a Kingdom that would last FOREVER!
A Child Who would also be God was predicted seven centuries before Jesus' birth fulfilled it!
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty GOD,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
And in the New Testament Gospel of Luke, Chapter 2, we read of the fulfillment of Isaiah's great prophecy!
8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
