How do we know Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of prophecy?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus Christ fulfills Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah through His birth, life, death, and resurrection.
The fulfillment of prophecy in Jesus Christ is evident throughout the New Testament as it draws from and reveals the truths contained in the Old Testament. For example, the imagery of the woman in Revelation 12 symbolizes the Old Testament church that awaited the Messiah's arrival. Jesus' coming into the world, His perfect life, sacrificial death, and resurrection were preordained events that fulfill the promises made to Abraham and David, among others. These prophecies highlight not only His identity but also God's unwavering faithfulness to His covenantal promises.
