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

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament confirms that many prophecies about Jesus in the Old Testament were fulfilled in His life, death, and resurrection.

The fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding Jesus provides substantial evidence for His Messiahship. As Paul mentions in Acts 26, Jesus' life fulfills numerous Messianic prophecies including His birth, suffering, death, and rise. For instance, prophecies such as His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14) and His resurrection (Psalm 16:10) were not just coincidental but part of God's sovereign plan, which assures believers of the truth in the Scriptures. There are at least 44 such prophecies pointing to Christ that were realized in the New Testament, which helps confirm the reliability of both the Old and New Testaments.
