What does 'it is finished' signify in the context of Old Testament prophecies?

Answered in 1 source

'It is finished' confirms the fulfillment of all Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah.

'It is finished' signifies the culmination of all Old Testament prophetic declarations concerning the Messiah. These include His betrayal, suffering, and sacrificial death, all of which were foretold and then fulfilled in the New Testament events surrounding Christ's crucifixion. By proclaiming this phrase, Jesus indicates that He is the prophesied Savior who has completed the payment for sin and established the means for our reconciliation with God.
