Who is Jesus Christ, the son of God?


Below are some prophecies behind the coming of Jesus.

The seed will be of a woman(Genesis 3:15 ) This was later fulfilled in Matthew 1:20 "But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost"

The Prophecy that a virgin will give birth to him was given by Isaiah in Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
"  which was fulfilled in Matthew 1:18


The line of genealogy was also foretold, Jesus was to come from the tribe of Judah Genesis 49:10 "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." The New testament confirms this in Luke 3:23-33
[It should be worthy to note that no more written genealogy record is still being kept as of today, meaning there is no way to track another messiah as some Jews are still waiting for another messiah]

Even the birth place of Jesus was foretold in Micah 5:2 "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." Matthew 2:1 confirms Jesus birth place.


The visit of the wise men had been foretold in the Old Testament (Psalm 72:10 confirmed in Matthew 2:1-11).

Herod massacre of children as foretold in Jeremiah 31:15 fulfiled in Matthew 2:16

He was to be known as Emmanuel, this had been prophesied by the prophet Isaiah (7:14), that he will be called "Emmanuel (God with us)" and was fulfilled as seen in Matthew 1:23

There was to be a messenger or forerunner to come before him as foretold in Isaiah 40:3 which was fulfilled in Matthew 3:1-2  It was no coincidence that when Mary visited Elizabeth in Luke 1:39 as you read all the way down to end of the chapter you will see that Elizabeth prophesied when she saw Mary and after Elizabeth had given birth to John, her husband Zachariah also gave a prophecy about the coming of the Son of God.

voice from heaven declaring the son of God in

Luke 3:22 "And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased."


Matthew 17:5 "While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him."



Jesus ministry came with miracles too as foretold in Isaiah 35:5-6 which we saw in matthew 9:35-36 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people" and many other scriptures, even to this day miracles are still happening in the name of Jesus as he gave power to those who believe in him.

Jesus entered into Jerusalem on a donkey as foretold in Zechariah 9:9 which we saw in Luke 19:35-37

Jesus was to be betrayed by a friend in Psalm 41:9 "Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me." which came to pass in John 13:21. He was even to be sold for 30 Pieces of Silver in Zechariah 11:12 and the money to be thrown down in Zechariah 11:13 which came to pass in Matthew 26:15 and matthew 27:5 respectively.

Jesus was also forsaken by his disciples in Matthew 26:56 as foretold in Zechariah 13:7, accused by false witness in Matthew 26:59-60 as foretold in Psalm 35:11

Many unbelievers as of this present age ask why didn't Jesus save himself, it was written in Isaiah 53:7 "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth." That's what he did because he is an everlasting sacrifice for the whole world which we saw in Matthew 27:12 "And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing."


Isaiah 53 also foretold the bruising and wounding of the Messiah, in verse 5. The fulfillment is recorded in Matthew 27:26.

Isaiah 50:6 had recorded a prediction of the smiting of the Messiah, and even the plucking of the hair from his cheeks, and spitting in His face. Luke 22:63 tells of the smiting of Jesus.

Psalm 22:7-8 describes the mocking that was done at the Messiah; the actual event is seen in Matthew 27:31.

The piercing of the Messiah's hands and feet was foretold in both Psalm 22:16 and Zechariah 12:10. John 20:25 records the fulfillment.

Isaiah 53:12, the great predictive passage, said the Messiah would be "numbered with the transgressors." This came to pass as He was crucified with thieves (Matthew 27:38).

Psalm 22, is another chapter which deals specifically with the crucifixion of the Messiah. Verse 18 foretold that His garments would be parted and lots cast for His robe. This was brought to pass by the actions of the Roman soldiers as Jesus hung on the cross (John 19:23-24).

What about his forsaken cry "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" in Matthew 27:46 which was foretold in Psalm 22:1. He cried out because this is first time God, the father turned his back on him because of the sin of the whole world he decided to bear upon himself as he was being sacrified(crucified).

His bone was not to be broken as foretold in John 19:33 and his body was pierced in John 19:34 as foretold in Numbers 9:12 and Zechariah 12:10 respectively

There was darkness over the land as Jesus hung on the cross, in Matthew 27:45 Amos foretold the darkness in Amos 8:9. This is what we may call solar eclipse but we've been told that solar eclipse does not last long
[The maximum, theoretical duration for the totality of a solar eclipse is 7 minutes, 40 seconds (some believe 7 minutes, 31 seconds); but in any case, the maximum duration can only occur at the equator.
According to scientist, The rate of occurrence for total eclipses of 7 minutes or longer, is 10 per millennium, or an average of one for every 100 years. The last occurred 6/20/1955 (7 minutes, 8 seconds). The next, 231 years from the last, will occur 7/16/2186 and have a duration of (7 minutes, 29 seconds). This will be the longest, stationary observation of a total solar eclipse.]

It should be worthy to note that the solar eclipse that occurred when Jesus was hung on the cross lasted for 3 hours.(Matthew 27:45 "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour." This was more than a solar eclipse, the forces of nature were responding to the saviour of the world.






Jesus was buried in a rich man's tomb in Matthew 27:57-60 as foretold in Isaiah 53:9

Psalm 16:10 foretold about his resurrection as Peter applied it in his first sermon in Acts 2:31

David gave a prophecy about the ascension of the Christ (Psalm 68:18). This is recorded in Acts 1:9. The Apostle Paul, years later, applied Psalm 68:18 to the ascension of the Lord (Ephesians 4:8-10).


This is just a scratch of what happened, books can hardly contain of what can be written of Jesus Christ.

Jesus was not just a human being, he was God that came in human form to be made as a perfect and everlasting sacrifice for the whole world. Whoever that believes in him will not perish but have an everlasting life.

Jesus is God, he is our messiah. He is coming back (Acts 1:9-11) for judgement.(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 , Revelation 20:11-15)

Thomas, the ever-skeptical disciple, was unconvinced that Jesus had risen from the dead and wanted to see direct proof. However, when the Lord Jesus appeared to him, his only reaction was "My Lord and my God!"

Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed." (John 20:28-29)
