Here are some verses that were prophesied about Christ's first coming and what was said in the Old Testament and the corresponding verses
in the New Testament. One thing you need to realize is that there are over 300 prophecies regarding the first coming of Christ. For one
person to even fulfill 48 of these prophecies, the odds are 1 in 10^157. That is a number greater than anyone can imagine. It is just
staggering. So how can you not believe that Christ Jesus is the
Messiah.
