What evidence of Jesus is there in the Old Testement?

Question

A prophet is mentioned several times in the Old Testement, but how do we know the prophet has already come? Please use scripture; I need facts, not opinions.

Answer 1

Christianity is based on the unique belief that Jesus was God's Son, born of a virgin, sacrificed for the Salvation of man. In reality, as sacrificed virgin-born Savior Son of God, Jesus was not unique. Not even close. The Jesus mythos simply followed the traditional model of the ancient pagan savior-gods.
At the time of Jesus of Nazareth, as for centuries before, the Mediterranean world roiled with a happy diversity of creeds and rituals. Details varied according to location and culture, but the general outlines of these faiths were astonishingly similar. Roughly speaking the ancients' gods:


Were born on or very near our Christmas Day
Were born of a Virgin-Mother
Were born in a Cave or Underground Chamber
Led a life of toil for Mankind
Were called by the names of Light-bringer, Healer, Mediator, Savior, Deliverer
Were however vanquished by the Powers of Darkness
And descended into Hell or the Underworld
Rose again from the dead, and became the pioneers of mankind to the Heavenly world
Founded Communions of Saints, and Churches into which disciples were received by Baptism
Were commemorated by Eucharistic meals
Krishna was born of the virgin Devaki; the Savior Dionysus was born of the virgin Semele. Buddha too was born of a virgin, as were the Egyptian Horus and Osiris. The old Teutonic goddess Hertha was a virgin impregnated by the heavenly Spirit and bore a son. Scandinavian Frigga was impregnated by the All-Father Odin and bore Balder, the healer and savior of mankind.

Mithras was born in a cave, on December 25th, of a virgin mother. He came from heaven to be born as a man, to redeem men from their sin. He was know as "Savior," "Son of God," "Redeemer," and "Lamb of God." With twelve disciples he traveled far and wide as a teacher and illuminator of men. He was buried in a tomb from which he rose again from the dead -- an event celebrated yearly with much rejoicing. His followers kept the Sabbath holy, holding sacramental feasts in remembrance of Him. The sacred meal of bread and water, or bread and wine, was symbolic of the body and blood of the sacred bull.

The celebration of Christmas on December 25 was originally the pagan birthday of Mithras, the sun god, whose day of the week is still known as "Sunday." The halo of light which is usually shown surrounding the face of Jesus and Christian saints, is another concept taken from the sun god. The theme of temptation by a devil-like creature was also found in pagan mythology. In particular, the story of Jesus's temptation by Satan resembles the temptation of Osiris by the devil-god Set in Egyptian mythology.

Answer 2

solid question--You appeared to no longer quote all the verse. MT 5:17 think of no longer that i'm come to break the regulation, or the prophets: i'm no longer come to break, yet to fulfill. What does it advise? The regulation become written and could no longer be fulfilled with the help of humanity. God used the regulation as a schoolmaster. each and every Jew knew the impossible attempt to obey the regulation. The regulation became a ritualistic business enterprise. The spirit of the regulation(Gods love) have been given lost in all the guidelines.. thus Jesus got here to no longer replace the regulation yet to fulfill. What Jesus did become close the books(regulation) with the help of ending up the requirement of the regulation. He became the suited sacrifice for the regulation. In Matthew 5-7 Jesus is preaching the sermon on the mountain. In that sermon he tell what's envisioned to become a follower of the hot policies. THE regulation OF GRACE. i'm hoping your understanding has been fruitful and that i'm hoping you have a robust day.

-Ascend into heaven Ps 68:18 Acts 1:9
-Would sit down at the right hand of God Ps 110:1 Heb 1:3

It is important to know that these prophecies were written hundreds of years before Christ was born.

So this pretty much narrow down the candidates who will qualify. : )

Answer 6

gratvol is certainly right as usual.

There are passages in the Tanakh that are labeled "messianic" which evidently point to J*sus as messiah, the most popular one being Isaiah 53.

However, these "messianic" passages are usually very vague--so much so, that thousands of people have fulfilled them. For instance, one messianic prophecy is that the messiah will be born of a young woman in Israel. Everyone ever born in Israel fulfills that one. Also, those passages usually don't point to a messiah and are misinterpreted. For instance, the famous Isaiah 53 (the "suffering servant") actually is talking about the whole of Israel.

Answer 8

a whole book was written about one man,his life and his death.and in those days of time people where put to death for such a thing.and thats why a lot of the scriptures are found in caves.would you put your life on the line for writing just a piece of written scripture for a fictious person?

Answer 9

If u truly need facts then u won't find any in the bible. The bible is plagierized from the ancient writings of the Sumerians and the Egyptians. All of your biblical characters came from these cultures and the true story of Jesus is found in the story of the family of Osiris as the father, Isis as the mother & Horus as the son. Khonsu would fill as the Holy Spirit.

Answer 10

There are hundreds of prophecys in the Old Testement about the Anointed One to come that only Jesus could fulfill. To name a few He must be of the line of David, born of a virgin, made a sacrifice for our sins.
