How do we know Jesus' birth was foretold in the Old Testament?
Answered in 1 source
Several Old Testament scriptures explicitly predict the birth of Jesus and his role as Messiah.
The foretelling of Jesus' birth is deeply embedded in the Old Testament. From the very beginning in Genesis 3:15, God promises victory through the seed of the woman, which points to Jesus. Job expresses his faith in a coming Redeemer in Job 19:25, underlining the hope for salvation. The prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 9:6 provides a vivid prophecy of a child born to bring hope and peace, calling attention to the miraculous nature of his birth as he is born of a virgin. These prophecies converge to affirm that the coming of Christ was not a random event but a divinely orchestrated plan revealed progressively throughout Scripture.
