PROPHECIES CONCERNING JESUS CHRIST AND THEIR FULFILMENT (PART 2)

  By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

The Jews are gifted with being custodians of most of the historical evidence of both the Christian and Judaism faiths especially those concerning the prophetic records. They were better positioned to authenticate prophetic records through their critique mechanism.

    It was based on this that a  foremost Jewish scholar and high priest predicted that Jesus Christ was the Messiah in John 18:14 'Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.'

  It was prophesied in Isaiah 7:14 that Jesus Christ shall be born of a virgin and this was confirmed in Matthew 1:18 "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost." It was also prophesied in Jeremiah 31:15 that his birth shall result in the massacre of infants . This was fulfilled in

Matthew 2:16  "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men." This indeed was  a very sad day in Israel. 

  It was also prophesied that Jesus Christ would be taken to Egypt by his foster parents .This was fulfilled in  Matthew 2:14, "When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:'

 It was also prophesied by the prophet Isaiah in chapter 9:1-2 that Jesus Christ would have his ministry in Galilee and this was fulfilled in 

 Matthew 4:12,14-16 "Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up."

  It was prophesied by Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15 that he would be called a prophet and this was confirmed in John 6:14 "Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world."

  It was prophesied in Psalm 110:4 that he come as a priest like Melchizedek and this was fulfilled in Hebrews 6:20 " Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec."

  His rejection by the Jews was prophesied in Isaiah 53:3 and this was confirmed in John 1:11 "He came unto his own, and his own received him not.'

  His triumphal entry into Jerusalem was prophesied in Zech 9:9 .This was fulfilled in John 12:14-15 "And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,  

Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt'."

 These prophesies and others confirmed that Jesus Christ was who he said he was 

Prayer : Heavenly father forgive me of my sins against you I believe that Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to heal the broken hearted .
