What are the Messianic Prophecies?

The Messianic prophecies were written over the span of a millennium by several Old Testament prophets. They spoke of a Messiah who would one day come to earth and walk among mankind. These prophecies mentioned specific names, locations, and even the timing surrounding His appearance. The known date of completion for the Old Testament writings is 430 B.C., so these prophecies were in circulation at least 430 years before the time of Christ.

The outline we will be following for this discussion is as follows:

1) Introduction: What are the Messianic Prophecies?

2) The Messianic Lineage

3) The Messianic Geography

4) The Messianic Ministry

5) The Messianic Betrayal

5) The Messianic Suffering

5) The Messianic Death

6) The Messianic Triumph

7) The Messianic Timing

8) Answering Common Skeptic Questions

9) Conclusion

********************************

The Jews of antiquity were very familiar with the Messianic prophecies, though there was some confusion at the seemingly conflicting prophecies: one interpretation told of a suffering servant while another told of a triumphant and glorious king. Today we know the Bible speaks of two separate appearances. We know His first appearance was one of peace, sacrifice, and humility whereas His second coming in the end times will be one of glory, judgment, and reconciliation. The prophecies and fulfillments we will be discussing in this article are those that were completed in the life of Jesus Christ.

Excellent! I’ve been doing my own and I will compare. John the Baptist was confused for a bit, too. I also think it is time for us to be balanced in our studies, servant as example by which we are to live and King to keep us full of joy and strength to endure the coming persecution.
