How do we know the prophecies about Christ are true?
Answered in 1 source
The accurate fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in Christ's life and suffering provides assurance of their truth.
The truth of the prophecies concerning Christ is substantiated by their precise fulfillment in His life, ministry, and especially in His suffering and death. For example, Psalm 22 not only reflects the mockery He endured but also the details of His crucifixion, such as the piercing of His hands and feet. Such fulfillments, predicted centuries before His coming, affirm the sovereignty and providential design of God in salvation history. The unwavering consistency between prophetic declarations and their emergence in the New Testament establishes a firm foundation for faith. Additionally, testimonies from the Gospels concerning the nature of His miracles and His death serve as corroborative evidence of His messianic identity.
