The Messiah and the Old Testament

The subject of a coming Messiah is woven into every part of the Old Testament. The Bible traces the blood lineage of the Messiah beginning with Adam and Eve, and then all the way to Noah and his son Shem. Then the Bible reveals that the Messiah would come through the line of Abraham, and then Isaac, and then Jacob, and then from Jacobs 12 sons Judah would be the one that the Messiah would descend from. Finally the lineage passes on to a man named Boaz who had a grandson named Jesse who lived in Bethlehem, and one of his sons was David who would be of the promised seed and became king of Israel. The book of Matthew in the New Testament traces the entire lineage of the Messiah from King David all the way to Jesus Christ, the son of Joseph and Mary who was born in a manger, a donkeys stable, in Bethlehem the city of David. The Prophet Daniel around 550 BC predicted the exact date that the Messiah would die and be "cut off" which would take place 483 years after the decree of the king of Persia to allow the Jews to restore and rebuild Jerusalem.

Jesus the Messiah

Jesus fulfilled the prophecies about the Jewish Messiah in every way. He was born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). He was meek and humble (Isaiah 42:1-3) and did the miracles that only God can do (Isaiah 61:1-2). He finally died on a Roman cross in fulfillment of the words of David (Psalm 22:16). He rose triumphantly from the dead (Isaiah 25:8), and will return again to set up the kingdom that he promised.
