How do we know that Christ's coming was prophesied?

The prophecies regarding the coming of Christ are affirmed throughout the Old Testament. For instance, Micah 5:2 specifies that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, which was fulfilled as recorded in Luke 2:6-7. Additionally, Genesis 49:10 indicates that the scepter shall not depart from Judah until the coming of Shiloh, illustrating God's hand in directing the lineage and birth of the Messiah. Each of these prophecies demonstrates God’s sovereignty and meticulous planning, as He orchestrated historical events and circumstances to bring about the birth of His Son at the precise time and place foretold by the prophets.
