EXAMPLES OF OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECIES THAT CHRIST FULFILLED
•A Deliverer who will crush our great enemy, Satan (Genesis 3:15). The arrival of this Deliverer, Jesus, is confirmed in Luke 2:4-11 and Galatians 4:4. From the time of Adam, the first man, to Christ, 4,000 years went by, so you can see that this prophecy didn’t come to fruition overnight!
•He was a descendant of Abraham (Genesis 12:3, 7; 22:18) and of the tribe of Judah (Genesis 49:10). Matthew 1:1 confirms that Jesus fulfilled these prophecies.
•He was of the house of David and would have a throne, a kingdom, and a dynasty that would start with King David and last forever (2 Samuel 7:12-13, 16; Jeremiah 23:5). The New Testament fulfillment is found in Matthew 1:1, 6, Luke 1:32-33; and Revelation 22:16.
•He would be born of a virgin and called Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14). We read about the fulfillment of the virgin birth in Matthew 1:22-23.
•He would be born and called “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,” and “the government will be on his shoulders” (Isaiah 9:6-7). This prophecy was given 700 years before the birth of Jesus, and we are still waiting for the fulfillment of the prophecy in its entirety. The first part of the prophecy has been fulfilled: a child has been born; a Son has been given. But the government is not yet on the shoulders of Jesus. He isn’t on the throne of David, upholding justice and righteousness over a kingdom of peace. We are still waiting for that part of the prophecy to be fulfilled. It is in this sense that we see prophecy continuing to unfold.
•He would be born in the specific location of Bethlehem Ephrathah (Micah 5:2) in Judea, so as not to be confused with Bethlehem near the Sea of Galilee. Fulfilled in Luke 2:4.
•Infants would be slaughtered in His birthplace (Jeremiah 31:15). This was fulfilled in Matthew 2:16-18.
•He was forsaken by His disciples (Zechariah 13:7). Fulfilled in Matthew 26:56 and Mark 14:50.
•A friend would betray Him (Psalm 41:9). Judas fulfilled this in Matthew 26:47-50, Luke 22:47-48, and John 18:1-6.
•He was treated like a criminal (Isaiah 53:12), and lots were thrown for His clothes (Psalm 22:18). Fulfilled in Matthew 26:47-48, Mark 14:53-65, Luke 23, and John 18-19.
•His sacrificial death would pay the price for the sins of mankind (Isaiah 53). Fulfilled in passages like Matthew 20:28, Romans 5:8, Galatians 2:20, and Hebrews 9:22.
•He would have a forerunner (Isaiah 40:3-5 and Malachi 3:1). John the Baptist fulfilled this in John 1:23, Matthew 3:1-3 and 11:14.
•He was in Egypt for a time (Hosea 11:1). Fulfilled in Matthew 2:14-15.
