Jesus: The Testimony of Prophecy & History

Among the predictions found in the Old Testament, those concerning Israel's promised Messiah are especially important. The Messiah, according to the Bible, will one day come and rescue his people from their oppressors. He will bring in a golden age. Israel will become the chief nation and Jerusalem the world's capital. Mankind will be ruled with justice, and oppression will cease. All will live in safety on their own property and enjoy the fruits of their own labors. Here we examine a number of these prophecies. We suggest that the evidence of the prophecies themselves and of subsequent history so far indicate (1) If the Messiah has come, he is Jesus; and (2) The Messiah has come.
