  1. list and explain 3 prophecies in the old testament. what is the prophecy? how is it fulfilled in jesus christ? (6 points)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Prophecy 1: Virgin Birth

The Old Testament prophecy from Isaiah 7:14 states that a virgin will conceive and bear a son, named Immanuel (meaning "God with us"). This is fulfilled in the New Testament (Matthew 1:20-25, Luke 1:26-38) through the birth of Jesus Christ, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the virgin Mary, making him both fully human and fully divine, embodying "God with us".

  1. Prophecy 2: Birth in Bethlehem

Micah 5:2 prophesies that the ruler of Israel will be born in Bethlehem Ephrathah, a small town in Judah. This is fulfilled in Matthew 2:1 and Luke 2:4-7, as Jesus was born in Bethlehem when Mary and Joseph traveled there for a census, aligning with the specific geographic detail of the prophecy.

  1. Prophecy 3: Suffering Servant (Crucifixion Details)

Isaiah 53 describes a suffering servant who is wounded for the sins of others, is silent before his accusers, is crucified with criminals, and is buried in a rich man's tomb. This is fulfilled in Jesus' crucifixion: he was beaten and crucified to atone for humanity's sins (Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John 19), remained silent before his trial, was crucified between two thieves, and was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy disciple.

  1. Birth in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2)
  • Prophecy: Israel's ruler will be born in Bethlehem.
  • Fulfillment: Jesus is born in Bethlehem during a Roman census (Matthew 2:1, Luke 2:4-7).
  1. Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53)
  • Prophecy: A servant will suffer, die for others' sins, be buried in a rich man's tomb.
  • Fulfillment: Jesus is crucified for humanity's sins, silent before accusers, crucified with criminals, buried in Joseph of Arimathea's tomb (Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).
