How do we know that Christ was the prophesied Messiah?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's crucifixion fulfilled numerous Old Testament prophecies, confirming Him as the Messiah.

The fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies during Christ's crucifixion stands as a profound testament to His identity as the Messiah. For instance, the manner of His death—crucifixion—was foretold in Psalm 22:16, where it states that the hands and feet of the Messiah would be pierced. Additionally, Isaiah 53:12 predicted that He would be numbered with the transgressors, which came to pass when He was crucified between two thieves (Isaiah 53:9). The Son of God’s sacrifice epitomizes the fulfillment of each prophecy, revealing God's sovereignty and unwavering plan for redemption through Jesus Christ, as reiterated throughout the New Testament.
