How do we know that Jesus is the fulfillment of Jacob's prophecies?

The fulfillment of Jacob's prophecies is clearly seen in the New Testament, particularly in the genealogies of Jesus found in Matthew 1 and Luke 3, which trace His lineage back to Judah. Judah is referred to as the lion from whom kings would arise, ultimately leading to Christ, the King of Kings. The sovereignty of God is evident in orchestrating these events to manifest His divine purpose, as Jesus' life, death, and resurrection are the culmination of the prophetic shadows seen in the Old Testament. Furthermore, Christ’s role in satisfying God’s justice for sin aligns with Jacob's prophetic foresight of a coming Savior, who brings salvation to His people, demonstrating both God's grace and justice.
