What prophecies of the Old testament were fulfilled by the life of Jesus?
114261
Schneb's answer is right on. Yes, anyone could ride a donkey to Jerusalem, etc, but no one could control their own birthplace or parents! Jesus fulfilled every aspect of the Old Testament predictions about the Messiah, especially the ones that no human could have brought about on their own.

The only "end times" prophesied in the bible occurred in the 1st Century:\n\n"This generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place" (Matthew 24:34, Luke 21:32)\n\n\n"Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who shall not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom" (Matthew 16:28, Mark 9:1, Luke 9:27)\n\nEither they came and went, or the bible is wrong.

Actually the Bible(of Christ)is provable.  Even 'scientists' admit that the Old Testament is 3000-4000 years old.  The Old Testament fortells of the Christs coming.  When Jesus came he satisfied every prediction of the OT(hundreds)when he was born.  Christ did in fact come which can be harmonized from religious sources and non religious.  Even people/kings that arent Christaian talk of Jesus and Christians at that time and can be found in writings.  Even today, artifacts are dug up in the Holy Land that reinforce that Jesus and the NT people of the Bible actually existed.  All of this comes from non Christian/non religious sources.   A coffin was dug up recently in the Holy Land that said in script;  Here lies James, brother of Jesus.\n  And the Bible fortells the end of the earth and the events that precede that.  Including the jews return to thier home(1945 Israel) and the nature of people in the last days.\n\nMat24 [6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.\n[7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.\n[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.

You don't need math, just any Bible, plus an Interlinear Greek Translation of the New Testament, bought at any book store.  Now, ask any religion if the signs of the last days and the second coming of Christ are being fulfilled?  They will most all say yes, they are.\n\nThen, take the IGT and look up the scripture in the original Greek and note the spelling of the word, COMING.  Now, check any other scripture with the word PRESENCE in it.  You will note that Greek spelling of BOTH words match.  So, are all the other scriptures wrong in using the word Presence, or are the signs really the signs of Christ Second Presence?\n\nIf they are, and the signs are being fulfilled, than are today's Christians repeating the mistakes of the ancient Jews in not believing the signs meant Christ had come?  Or, is all of Christendom been lying in that we are not really in the last days?

It won't be easy understanding Revelations without taking account of the rest of the Bible.  There are many prophecies in the other books of the Bible that tie in to Revelations.  Isaiah has plenty.  \n\nBut the most revealing ones of all, i.e, the most direct and descriptive, are Jesus' own predictions of the end times.  He mentioned this several times in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.\n\nMany of the prophecies written in the books other than Revelations actually explain what Revelations truly meant because some prophecies in the previous books are repeated in Revelations.\n\nGo to www.biblegateway.com for a free, online bible.

Jesus was talking about His ministry while here on earth! The messiah was promised to the people of Israel and they alone were expecting Him. \nLater on Jesus told His disciples(who were all Jews by the way) to go into ALL the earth and preach the Gospel to ALL Nations. \n\nMatthew 28, 18-20

Bible prophesies are 100% accurate in telling us to watch what happens in and around Israel. This is a major prophesy on the times we live in. There are many many more.\nA new world will be coming soon..this one is seeped in evil and darkness and its almost time for things to change \nforever. There is so much more to add to this but only so much space.

There are only 3 years of His life followed, because that was the length of his ministry.  The bible is not the story of Jesus' life.  The books; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the books that are the Gospel of Jesus.  They are a narrative of His life.  Think of those books as biographies, sort of.

Prophecies to Identify the Messiah, Which Jesus Does Not Fulfill:\n\n1) Matthew 1:23 says that Jesus (the messiah) would be called Immanuel, which means "God with us."  Yet no one, not even his parents, call him Immanuel at any point in the bible.\n\n2) The Messiah must be a physical descendant of David (Romans 1:3 & Acts 2:30).  Yet, how could Jesus meet this requirement since his genealogies in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 show he descended from David through Joseph, who was not his natural father because of the Virgin Birth. Hence, this prophecy could not have been fulfilled.\n\n3) Isaiah 7:16 seems to say that before Jesus had reached the age of maturity, both of the Jewish countries would be destroyed.  Yet there is no mention of this prophecy being fulfilled in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus, hence this is another Messiah prophecy not fulfilled.

I don't believe the bible is foretelling the future.  Rather, it tells us that we are invited to be with God eternally in the future and shows us how.

Theres this really cool book called the BIBLE...it tells exactly what will happen! The Book of Revelation tells all.\nRevelation 21:1\n[ The New Jerusalem ] Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

There are many things that Jesus did where the Tanach (OT) fulfillment is hard to find such as Jesus walking on water. Then we find an obscure little passage in Job where we read that God "treads on the sea". In the case of the "I AM" statement knocking the sense out of the arresting officers, I do not think there is any prophecy related to it other than what would have happened to Moses if he didn't take the shoes off his feet. We do know one thing, and that is that Jesus was not just saying "I AM", He showed that there was power and authority behind it.
