There are over 125 Bible prophecies concerning Christ Jesus in the Bible, and even though ALL of the prophecies
proclaiming Christ as the Messiah have been fulfilled exactly to the letter, we will just look at 4 of them
and the probability of them being fulfilled by Jesus.
PROPHECY 1 - Daniel 9:25-26 ...'Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the 
commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two
weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall
Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.'
This prophecy was given through the prophet Daniel around the year 500BC, and it states that the Messiah would be revealed
483 years (69 prophetic weeks) after the decree to restore Jerusalem. This Bible prophecy also states that the Messiah would
be "cut off", which means to be killed, after the 483 years. The command to restore Jerusalem was issued in
457BC by Artaxerxes, and if we take off the 483 years that was prophecied in Daniel, we come to AD27, which was the year Jesus was baptized.
Then, as the prophecy states, after this He would be "cut off", but not for Himself. This portrays the
crucifixion of Christ. For further detail of this prophecy, see 70
weeks of Daniel.

PROPHECY 2 - Micah 5:2 ...'But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the
thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have
been from of old, from everlasting.'
This prophecy was given around 700BC and Micah named the tiny village of Bethlehem as the birth place of the Messiah. This is
the most widely known and celebrated occasion in history. This was fulfilled exactly by Christ Jesus.

PROPHECY 3 - Zechariah 11:12-13 ...'And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price;
and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the
potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter
in the house of the LORD.'
This prophecy was given in the 5th century BC, declaring that the Messiah would be betrayed for the price of a slave, 30 pieces
of silver. And also that this money would end up being used to buy a burial ground ("cast them to the potter"). This
was fulfilled exactly, as Judas was paid 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus into the hands of the Pharisees. But Judas
ended up rejecting the money and it was used to buy the "potter's field" just as predicted.

PROPHECY 4 - Psalm 22:1,8,16,18 ...'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? ... He trusted on the
LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him ... they pierced my hands and my feet ...
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.'
Psalm 34:20 ...'He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.'
Zechariah 12:10 ...'And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace
and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced.'
This was prophesied about 400 years before crucifixion was even invented. Not only that, take a look at what they said about
what would happen. "My God, My God", this is what Jesus said as He hung on the cross. "Pierced hands and feet",
which depicted the type of death, ie, on the cross. "They cast lots for His garments", which is what the people did
with Jesus' clothes. "Not one of His bones broken", this actually went against the custom of crucifixion, but it was
perfectly fulfilled by Christ as they did not break His bones because He died so quickly, instead they pierced His side with
a sword.

Now as we said, there are over 125 Bible prophecies concerning Christ in the Old Testament, and yet look at the probability
of just the above 4 being fulfilled in one man. If you put all of the Bible prophecies together, then the probability of them
happening in just one man would be impossible. But they WERE fulfilled in Christ Jesus, because the prophecies were
inspired by God Himself, who sees the end from the beginning. Just to give you an example, the probability of Jesus Christ
fulfilling just EIGHT of the Bible prophecies concerning Him would be 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000.
And this number just keeps on growing and growing as you add more prophecies to the list. The Bible is truly the Word of God.
silver; and as
for gold, they shall not delight in it. Their bows also shall dash the young
men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children. And
Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and
Gomorrah. It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall
the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. But wild beasts of the desert
shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs
shall dance there. And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their
pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.'
