How do we know that Jesus is the King as prophesied in the Old Testament?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament consistently affirms Jesus' fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, confirming His identity as King.

The identification of Jesus as King is consistently affirmed throughout the New Testament, which highlights various prophecies and their fulfillments. For example, during His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as noted in Matthew 21:4-5, it is stressed that these events occurred to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Zechariah. Throughout Jesus' ministry, He did not reject claims to His kingship; rather, He accepted the praises of the people who called Him the King of Israel. Moreover, Pilate's questioning during Jesus' trial, as recorded in Matthew 27:11, acknowledges His kingship when he asks if Jesus is the King of the Jews. Additionally, the titles used for Jesus throughout the Gospels reinforce His royal identity, showcasing His role as the Messiah foretold in the Law and the Prophets.
