Did Jesus of Nazareth Fulfill Ancient Predictions?

December 5, 2012 by Nelis Ebersohn and Jason Dennett

This is another video in our series “Great Thinkers & Great Questions”, where we examine and comment on articles in the Apologetics Study Bible. Here we will be taking a short look at what is called Messianic Prophecy, in which well over 100 predictions in the ancient document of the Old Testament Scriptures, predict a specific individual that will come onto the scene.

Among dozens of other specific predictions, his place of birth, type of death, place of burial, and the price payed to betray him are all predicted with amazing accuracy, in documents that were written centuries before. Only one man in history has fulfilled these specific predictions, Jesus of Nazareth.

There are 2 very powerful aspects of this evidence:

  1. It is verifiable historically through the ancient documents that we still possess today in museums, and through the historical facts we know about the man Jesus of Nazareth.
  2. Since predicting future events cannot possibly happen with a naturalistic explanation, and therefore necessitates a supernatural explanation. It is a powerful and intriguing proof of the supernatural working behind these documents, though they were recorded by men.

If these claims seem outlandish to anyone, all one has to do is investigate the documents and the historical evidence for themselves to see if it actually happened. All of the predictions mentioned in this video were recorded over 400 years before the man Jesus of Nazareth ever lived.

Christian Apologetics Alliance is a Top 100 Christian Blog

Unity Statement

In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, in all things charity. The Christian Apologetics Alliance (CAA) is united in our Statement of Faith. The CAA does not, as an organization, have positions on many of the doctrinal or theological debates that take place within the church. Our primary concern is to promote the gracious, rational defense of the central claims of Christianity and the critique of opposing systems of thought. The CAA joyfully welcomes Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and diverse Protestant believers, and we are committed to treating all these traditions with respect in our community.
