How do we know that Christ fulfills Old Testament prophecies?

Answered in 3 sources

Christ fulfills Old Testament prophecies as He embodies the types and shadows presented in scripture, representing the culmination of God's redemptive plan.

The fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in Christ is evidenced through various types and foreshadows found in the Scripture. From the beginning in Genesis with the promise of a Savior to the traditions and sacrifices that pointed to Jesus, all highlight His role in salvation. For instance, figures like Noah's Ark and Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac serve as monumental types that signify Christ’s ultimate sacrifice. This is corroborated by Scriptures which declare that all things written about Him in the law, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled. Understanding these connections provides assurance that Jesus is indeed the promised Messiah and the fulfillment of God's plan for redemption.
