PROPHECIES THAT JESUS FULLFILLED

Prophecies Jesus Christ Fulfilled

  Prophecy Fulfilled

The crucifixion was prophesied in Scripture 1,000 years before Jesus Christ was born.

The books of the Old Testament contain many passages about the Messiah—all prophecies Jesus Christ fulfilled. For instance, the crucifixion of Jesus was foretold in Psalm 22:16-18 approximately 1,000 years before Christ was born, long before this method of execution was even practiced. Some Bible scholars suggest there are more than 300 prophetic Scriptures completed in the life of Jesus.
Although this list is not exhaustive, you'll find 44 messianic predictions clearly fulfilled in Jesus Christ, along with supporting references from the Old and New Testament.
