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

Answered in 7 sources

Jesus is confirmed as the fulfillment of prophecy through New Testament writings, especially in Acts where Peter points to Him as the prophet mentioned by Moses.

The New Testament authors frequently identify Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. For instance, in Acts 3:22, Peter explicitly quotes Moses, linking Jesus to the prophet that God promised to raise. Moreover, Jesus’ ministry reflects the very nature of the prophetic role – He speaks with authority and reveals the will of God to humanity. This consistent fulfillment of prophecy demonstrates that Jesus is indeed the awaited Messiah and prophet.
