2. This Weekend: Is the Jesus of the
New Testament the Jesus of history?
3. Acts Chapter Two:
· Jesus fulfilled the messianic prophecies, therefore he is Messiah
· Jesus worked miracles, therefore he is Lord
· Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead, therefore he is savior
· Repent and be baptized.
Our Outline:
Messianic Prophecies
Types, Prefigures and Foreshadows
4. He said to them,“This is what I told you while I
was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled
that is written about me in the Law of Moses,
the Prophets and the Psalms. Luke 24:44
Messianic Prophecies
5. Question #1: How do I know these prophecies really
were written down hundreds of years before the events?
Septuagint translation of the Old Testament into Greek
220-150 BC
Dead Sea Scrolls.250-50 BC
8. Josephus: “When Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men
among us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him
at the first did not forsake him… And the tribe of Christians so
named from him are not extinct to this day.”
Cornelius Tacitus: “Hence, to suppress the rumor, [Nero] falsely
charged with the guilt and punished with the most exquisite
tortures, the persons commonly called Christians, who were hated
for their enormities. Christus, the founder of the name, was put to
death by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea in the reign of
Tiberius…
Jewish Talmud “On the eve of the Passover they hangedYeshu and
the herald went before him for forty days sayingYeshu… has
practiced sorcery and beguiled and led astray Israel.
10. Question #3 Are these, in fact, prophecies of
the Messiah? (or are we taking them out of
context)
Hint: If the Jews themselves acknowledged
them to be messianic, that is very strong
evidence.
11. Question #4 Could Jesus, planning on
deceiving the people into believing he
was the Messiah, have read the Old
Testament and tried to fulfill all the
prophecies?
15. Isaiah 53:1-13:
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of
sorrows, familiar with suffering. (v. 3)
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was
crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought
us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are
healed. (v. 5) (John 19:31-37)
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open
his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter and
as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not
open his mouth. (v. 7)
16.
17. Micah 5:2
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small
among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one
who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from old,
from ancient times.
Isaiah 9:1,6
In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of
Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the
Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan…. For
to us a child is born… And he will be called Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of
Peace.

20. Psalm 22:16-18
Dogs have surrounded me;
a band of evil men have encircled me,
they have pierced my hands and my feet.
I can count all my bones; (John 19:31-37)
people stare and gloat over me.
They divide my garments among them
and cast lots for my clothing. (John 19:23,24)
21.
22. Zechariah 11:12,13
I told them, “If you think it best, give me my pay; but
if not, keep it.” so they paid me thirty pieces of silver.
(Matthew 26:14-16)
And the Lord said to me,
“Throw it to the potter”—
the handsome price at
which they priced me! So
I took the thirty pieces of
silver and threw them into
the house of the Lord, to
the potter. (Matthew
27:3-8)
23. Daniel 9:24-26
Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your
holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone
for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal
up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.
Know and understand this: From the issuing of the
decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until the Anointed
One, the ruler comes, there will be seven ‘sevens’ and sixty
two ‘sevens’
Decree of Artaxerxes (Ezra 7:12-26) 458 BC
458 BC - 490 years = -32
No zero BC = 33 AD when Messiah will come to Jerusalem
24. Be born in Bethlehem
Be raised in Galilee near Nazareth
Be despised and rejected by men
Be meek and silent before his accusers
Be “pierced”
Be crucified
Have his garments divided and gambled over
Be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver
Come to Jerusalem to make atonement for sin in about AD 33
And many more….
Was all this an accident, or did God plan all along for the Passion of
the Christ for forgiveness of sins? What do you think?
Jesus: Man, Myth or Messiah?
