I know Him. He is the Messiah.
1. He will be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; see Matthew 1:23).
2. He would live in Nazareth of Galilee (Isaiah 9:1,2; see Matthew 2:23; 4:15,16).
3. His birth would occasion the massacre of Bethlehem’s children (Jeremiah 31:15; see Matthew 2:18).
4. His mission would include the Gentiles (Isaiah 42:1-3,6; see Matthew 12:18-21).
5. His ministry would include physical relief (Isaiah 61:1,2; see Luke 4:16-21).
6. He would be the Shepherd struck with the sword, resulting in the sheep being scattered (Zechariah 13:7; see Matthew 26:31,56; Mark 14:27,49,50).
7. He would be betrayed by a friend for 30 pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12,13; see Matthew 27:9,10).
8. He would be given vinegar and gall to drink (Psalm 69:21; see Matthew 27:34).
9. He would be presented with all dominion over all peoples, nations, and men of every language (Daniel 7:13,14; see Revelation 11:15).
10. He would be hated without a cause (Psalm 69:4; Isaiah 49:7; see John 15:25).
11. He would be rejected by the rulers (Psalm 118:22; see Matthew 21:42; John 7:48).
The point should be obvious. Who is the only person who has fulfilled all of these prophecies and more? Only Jesus Christ the Messiah. There is simply no way to avoid this fact.
