How do we know that Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies?

Answered in 15 sources

Jesus' life and mission fulfill the Old Testament prophecies, particularly through His lineage from Judah and the title 'Lion of the tribe of Judah' as seen in Revelation 5:5.

The identity of Jesus as the Messiah is affirmed through the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. The prophecy in Genesis 49 points directly to the tribe of Judah, from which the lineage of Christ comes. Revelation 5:5 refers to Jesus as the 'Lion of the tribe of Judah,' linking His fulfillment to this significant lineage. Throughout the New Testament, various references highlight how Jesus embodies the promises made in the Old Testament, confirming His role as the Redeemer and the hope of salvation anticipated by the Abrahamic and Davidic covenants. The consistent narrative of Scripture points to Jesus as the singular fulfillment of these prophetic declarations.
