(John 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. …It was foretold long ago by the prophets beginning in Genesis 49:10 Jacob said that the Messiah would come from the tribe of Judah. …(Isaiah 7:14) Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. …In Micah 5:2 the prophet tells us this child will be born in Bethlehem. …(Malachi 3:1) "See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me”, which we know was John the Baptist. …Isaiah 61:1-2 foretells the ministry of Jesus Christ: …”The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives… ,and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn” … Isaiah 53:9 tells us that Jesus would be without sin. … Psalms 118:22 tells us that He will be rejected by his own people. …Psalms 41:9 predicts the betrayal by Judas. …Zechariah 11:13 confirms the price that Judas would be paid to sell out Jesus …was in fact thirty pieces of silver. …After Jesus was arrested Isaiah 50:6 illustrates how he would be mocked, beaten, spit on, and his beard would be literally pulled out. …Psalm 22 not only predicts Jesus' death on a cross, but tells us how he would feel, …& even exactly what he would say beginning in verse one, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” …Verse 7 All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads. He trusts in the Lord; let the Lord rescue him. …Verse 14-18 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint, My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death, Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me they have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing. …Hosea 6:2 on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. Psalm 22:30-31 it says, “Posterity will serve him, future generations will be told about the Lord. They will proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn -for he has done it.
