How do we know that Jesus fulfills the prophecies about His coming?

The fulfillment of prophecies about Jesus’ coming is evidenced through scriptural testimonies and the acknowledgment of John the Baptist as the preparer of the way. Malachi 3:1 predicts the sending of a messenger to prepare the way for the Lord, which is directly quoted in the New Testament regarding John the Baptist's ministry (Matthew 11:10, Mark 1:2). This correlation emphasizes the truth that Jesus is the Lord who came to His temple, fulfilling the prophetic expectations of His arrival. The consistency of Old Testament prophecies with New Testament revelations affirms the sovereign plan of God throughout biblical history.
