The Messiah Revealed
There are some people today who don’t believe in the Messiah (Jesus Christ). There are also some religious groups and people who only refer to the Old Testament sections of the Holy Bible. However, there are many prophecies concerning Christ written in the Old Testament which were fulfilled in many cases within the pages of the New Testament. The prophecies are chronicled below:

Remember what the Messiah said:
Matthew 3:13-17 “Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. ” verse 14 ” But John tried to prevent Him, saying, I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” verse 15 ” But Jesus answering said to him, permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he permitted Him.” verse 16 ” After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him,” verse 17 ” and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.”
John 19:33 “but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.”
Acts 12:1-2 “Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them.” verse 2 ” And he had James the brother of John put to death with a sword.”
Revelation 6:11 “And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also.”
Final thought: It is unfortunate that in the days of our final captivity in America and abroad, many Israelites who reject Christ are still waiting for the fulfillment of these scriptures. In order to be saved, it is imperative to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (read Acts 16:31) and rehearse the righteous acts.
SHALOM.
