Christians? Is there anywhere in the old testament a prophecy that Jesus is coming?

Question

Because i didn't find his name in any of the chapters of the old testament when i read the bible? How can you know it is Jesus?

One prophecy
Deutoronomy 18:15 The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him.
Jesus is NOT like Moses
Look:
Moses have a father and mother, Jesus only had a mother? Jesus was raised to God, Moses died... Jesus wasn't succesfull with his own people (the Jews), Moses saved the Jews from the Pharao... Jesus died for mankind?! (Why would Moses mention... a prophet like me?)

Deutoronomy 18
17 The LORD said to me: "What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.

Who are the Jews brothers? isaac and ismael were brothers... which became the the arabs and the Jews...

Who is this prohecy about?

Answer 1

Psalm 110.....Isaiah 7....
There's plenty

Answer 2

Ok. You asked for O.T. reference to Jesus. Isaian 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." I know that isn't the name Jesus, but, Luke 1: 27-31 This is the scripture of when Gabriel, the angel sent from God, appeared to Mary, the virgin. In verse 31 Gabriel tells Mary, "And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS." That is just one of the many references that will lead you to the N.T. for the name of Jesus. And, your question about Deuteronomy is about Jesus. Jesus had mother and Father, Father being God. The phrase about him being like Moses is that he would be a prophet that would lead them in God's way. Jesus only did and said what he got from the Father. By the way, if you continue reading in Luke, you will learn that Mary questioned the angel Gabriel. Questions are good! Also, who was Moses' dad? That's how Jesus is like Moses. Moses earthly dad was never mentioned. Moses mother helped raise him with Pharoah's daughter. The reason was because the king had ordered all males under 2 or 3 to be killed to weaken the Isrealites. Same happened to Jesus.

Answer 3

Jesus is the promised prophet Moses spoke of. They are alike in that they brought salvation to the people: Moses through the Law and Jesus through His death and resurrection which fulfilled the Law. Stop listening to Muslims who try to interpret the Bible.

Answer 4

Not only was it prophecied, but when Christ was on the cross, and said "God, why hast thou forsaken me?" - some folks think Jesus was being left alone by God, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Jesus never called the Father "God", He called Him "Father".
What Jesus was doing when he said that, was reciting Psalm 22, which prophecied of not only His coming, but also of the crucifiction right down to what the Roman soldiers would be doing at the foot of the cross.
Jesus was telling us that prophecy was being fulfilled. Psalms 22 was written more than one thousand years before the event.

Answer 5

Mal 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Mal 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
Mal 4:4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Mal 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Answer 6

In Luke 4:17, Jesus Himself quotes Isaiah in reference to His Mission, saying: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has annointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

He stopped in the middle of the reading because the last half wouldn't take place for a few thousand years.

Answer 7

Jesus had a father and a mother! God was his Father!
and he raised alot of prohets up. read the Bible and you will see them. ohh yea and check out isaiah chapter 53. it is my favorite refferral to Jesus in the Old Testament!

Answer 8

Are you a Jehovah's Witness?

Trying to disprove Jesus Christ??

Jesus' life BEGAN in Matthew in the Bible.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John tell His story--His birth, His carpentry, His preaching to the people, His going to the cross, His Resurrection, and His ascention into Heaven to be be with the Father.
The WHOLE New Testament IS HIS story-get it-HIS,STORY-
HISTORY.
Revelation is AWESOME to read--if you Are 'saved' by the blood
of Christ.
If you don't like reading it---something else may be leading your life,....

gen.3;15--(would be the seed of a woman)--gen18:18--(promised seed of abraham)--gen 17:19--(promised seed of isaac_--nu.24:17--(promised seed of jacob)--gen49;10--(will descend from the tribe of judah)--is.9;7--(heir to the throne of david)--micah5:2--9place of birth0--dan.9:25--9time of birth0--Is.7;14--(born of a virgin)--je:31:15--(massacre of infants)--ho.11:1--(flight into egypt)--Is.9:12--(his ministry in galilee)--de.18:15--(as a prophet)--ps.110:4--(as priest like melchizedek)--Is.53:3--(his rejection by the jews)Is.11:2--(some of his characteristics)zec.9:9 and is.62:1 (triumphal entry into jerusalem) ps.41:9--(betrayal by a friend)--zec.11:12--(sold for thirty pieces of silver.)Is 53:7--(silent when accused)--Is.50:6--(smitten and spat upon)--ps.69:4(would be hated without cause)--is:53:4-5 (would suffer for us)Is. 53:12--(would be crucified )--ps.22 :16- (hands and feet pierced)--ps.22:6-8(mocked and insulted)--Ps. 22:8(hears prophetic words recited in mockery)--zec.12:(his side is to be pierced)--ps.22:18-(soldiers cast lots for his coat)--ps.34:20-(not a bone broken)is.53:9-(to be buried withthe rich)--ps.16:10--(his resurection)--ps.68:18( his ascension into heaven). so when youre done looking these up and picking them apart if youre still intrested e-mail me and i,ll give you another list of verses in the new testament which coincide with and show the fulfillment of the old testament verses. then we,ll move on to another list of the symbolic prophecies of Jesus such as the passover /sacrificial lamb/serpent on the staff raised high so as to cure those who looked upon it and so forth and so on.oh and as to who it refers to in de.18 .17 hes talking about jesus. and the brother thing? he,s talking to the israelites following moses through the desert. remember? meaning descendants of issac and jacob.ishmael went off to form the arabs. happy reading

Answer 10

Prophecies never refer to individuals by name. They are meant to be taken symbolically and their meanings are usually only apparent to those with an open heart and mind. There are numerous prophecies regarding the advent of Jesus, Muhammad, the Bab and Baha'u'llah in the Bible.

Answer 11

Someone said that over 2000 prophecys were fulfilled in the life death and resurrection of YAHOSHUA. Anyway, there are a lot!
