The Entire Tanakh Points to the Messiah—Jesus:
Jesus said, “These are the very Scriptures that testify about Me” (John 5:39).
Here are just a few Christological prophecies in the Jewish Bible:
Isaiah 7:14
“The virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
הִנֵּה הָעַלְמָה הָרָה וְיֹלֶדֶת בֵּן וְקָרָאת שְׁמוֹ עִמָּנוּ אֵל
⸻
Isaiah 9:6-7
“For to us a child is born… and his name shall be called… Mighty God…”
כִּי יֶלֶד יֻלַּד לָנוּ… וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ… אֵל גִּבּוֹר
⸻
Isaiah 53:8
A suffering servant who bears our sins and is “cut off from the land of the living.”
מִנֶּאֶרֶץ חַיִּים נִגְזַר לְפִשְׁעִי עַמִּי נֶגַע לָמוֹ
⸻
Micah 5:2
“Out of Bethlehem… shall come forth one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from ancient days.”
וְאַתָּה בֵּית לֶחֶם אֶפְרָתָה… מִמְּךָ לִי יֵצֵא לִהְיוֹת מוֹשֵׁל בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וּמוֹצָאֹתָיו מִקֶּדֶם מִימֵי עוֹלָם
⸻
Psalm 22:16,18
“They pierced my hands and feet… they cast lots for my garment.”
כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָי
עַל לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל
⸻
Daniel 9:26
“The Messiah shall be cut off, and shall have nothing.”
וְיִכָּרֵת מָשִׁיחַ וְאֵין לוֹ
⸻
Even the Rabbinic Writings Once Saw Messiah in These Passages:
• Rashi originally applied Isaiah 53 to the Messiah (before it became controversial).
• The Targums (early Aramaic translations) render Isaiah 9 and Micah 5 messianically.

Yeshua Fulfilled Over 300 Prophecies from the Tanakh.
The probability of one man fulfilling even 8 of these is mathematically near-impossible—unless it’s true.
