What does it mean that Christ fulfilled the prophets?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's fulfillment of the prophets signifies that He is the culmination of all divine revelation and prophecy (Matthew 5:17).

The fulfillment of the prophets by Christ indicates that He embodies the messages and promises of the Old Testament prophecies. When Jesus announces that He has come to fulfill the law and the prophets, He signals that He is the ultimate fulfillment of all the prophetic writings, emphasizing that the entire Scripture bears witness to Him. Every sacrificial system, every prophetic forecast leads to Christ; thus, He is the focal point of divine revelation. Through His life, death, and resurrection, He brings to completion the redemptive narrative outlined in the Scriptures.
