Behold My servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put My spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street... A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench” (Is 42:1-3).
“Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert” (Is. 35:5-6).

Thast is a stretch.
These messianic criteria are and have always been universally accepted by the Jewish People. Jesus did not qualify as the Jewish Messiah ben David for the simple reason that he did not fulfill any of these criteria. The Messiah ben David must:
1. have the correct genealogy by being descended from King David and King Solomon,
2. be anointed King of Israel,
3. return the Jewish People to Israel,
4. rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem,
5. bring peace to the world and end all war,
6. bring knowledge of God to the world.

Way before that, back in the book of Genesis, is the story of a man named Joseph (made famous by his many-colored coat). This story is just a thinly veiled telling of Jesus' life story, with the names changed to protect the innocent...or the guilty. Go read it again sometime, note some of the more obvious allusions to Christ (like being betrayed for a few pieces of silver, being accused and punished for a crime he didn't commit, etc.) and then go back and study the specifics. The entire life, death, resurrection, and risen glory of Christ is described through the life of Joseph.
Have a great day!

Neither refers to Jesus, at least based on the gospels.
As to the first, Jesus did not bring judgment to the gentiles (render unto Caesar) only to the jews. He did cry out (on the cross) and he caused his voice to be heard in the street (he did all his preaching in public).
As to the second, while Jesus is alleged to have cured people, there is no record of him causing waters to break out or streams to form in the desert.
Sorry, either the prophecies were wrong or Jesus was not the one they were talking about. Getting some of the numbers right doesn't win the lottery.

Have you ever studied the history of the bible and how the books were put together from older more ancient religions? Religions the believers now like to call myths.

Yes.
Benny Hinn has a book out titled 'Lamb of God' and it has 332 prophecies of Jesus that Jesus fulfilled.

At least 365 of them. Prophesies that Christ fulfilled.

Thank you for answering your own question.
There are many many many. The whole Book points back to Christ.

If there was a verse that said, "The messiah will have a birthmark on his left @$$ cheek"
And
We also had proof that Jesus had said birthmark, ONLY then would I find this remarkable.

you can continue to take things out of context, but there is nothing in the OT that has anything to do with jesus.
