One Heritage United by Messiah

Prophecies fulfilled by Yeshua

Throughout the Torah and Prophets, God has proclaimed the coming of the Messiah.  This presentation offers in table form, God's promises and fulfillment of His promises as provided in His Word.

Life of the Messiah

The Messiah would be preceded by a forerunner
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the Lord of host.  Malachi 3:1

The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.  Isaiah 40:3

 

 

 

 

 

As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah, the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.  Luke 3:4

And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see?  A reed shaken with the wind?  But what went ye out for to see?  A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings courts.  But what went ye out for to see?  A prophet?  Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.  This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.  For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist:  but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.  Luke 7:24 - 28

 

 The Messiah would be anointed by the Holy Spirit
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.  Isaiah 11:2 And Yeshua, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and lo, the heavens opened unto him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him.  Matthew 3:16

 

 The Messiah would be declared the Son of God
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.  I will declare the decree:  the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.  Psalm 2:6 - 7  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.  Matthew 3:17

 

The Messiah would preach in Galilee 
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
Nevertheless, the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.  The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.  Isaiah 9:1 - 2

 

Now, when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon (Zebulun) and Nephthalim (Naphtali):  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet saying, "The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; the people which sit in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up."  Matthew 3:12 - 16

 

 The Messiah would be a prophet
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall harken.  Deuteronomy 18:15

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him, of whom Moses and the Prophets did write - Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."  John 1:45

Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said "This is of truth that prophet that should come into the world."  John 6:14

And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:  Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.  For Moses truly said unto the fathers, "A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unot me:  him shall you hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you."  And it shall come to pass, that every soul whiich will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.   Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.  You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, and in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.  Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Yeshua, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.  Acts 3:20 - 26 

 

 The Messiah would preach in parables
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
Give ear, O my people, to my law:  incline your ears to the word of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old.  Psalm 78:1 - 2

 

All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto them:  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.  Matthew 13:34 - 35 

 

 The Messiah would perform miracles
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
Strengthen you the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.  Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.  Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.  Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing:  for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.  And a parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water:  in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.  Isaiah 35:3 - 7 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Messiah, he sent two of his disciples, and said unto him, "Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?"  Jesus answered and said unto them, "Go and show John again those things which you do hear and see:  The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.  And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me."  Matthew 11:2 - 6 

 

 

 The Messiah would be compassionate
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn. Isaiah 61:1 - 2

 

 

 

 

 

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.  And there was delivered unto Him the book of the prophet Isaiah.  And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written,  The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn.  And He closed the book, and He gave it again to the minister, and sat down.  And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue sere fastened to him.  And He began to say to them, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."  Luke 4:16 - 21

 
 The Messiah would preach and heal but His ministry would not be understood
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
And he said, Go and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.  Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and convert, and be healed.  Isaiah 6:9 - 10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?  He answered and said unto them, "Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.  For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever has not, from him shall be taken away even that he has.  Therefore, speak I to them in parables, because they seeing, see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.  And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says by hearing you shall hear and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and not perceive.  For this people's heart is waxed gross and their ears are dull of hearing, and eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted and I should heal them.  But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears for they hear.  For surely I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them. Matthew 13:10 - 17

 
 The Messiah would have zeal for the Temple
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
For the zeal of thine house has eaten me up;  and the reproaches of them reproached thee are fallen upon me.  Psalm 69:9

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:  And when He had made a scourage of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money and overthrew the tables; and said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.  And the disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house has eaten me up.  John 2:13 - 17

Also found in Matthew 21:12 - 17

and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves" (v13)

Also found in Luke 19:45 - 48 and Mark 11:15 - 19

 
 The Messiah would be hated without cause
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head:  they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, and mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.  Psalm 69:4

 

He that hates Me hates my Father also.  If I had not done among them the works which none other mad did, they had not had sin:  but now have they both seen and hated both Me and my Father.  But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in the law, They hated me without cause.  John 15:23 - 25

 
 The Messiah would be rejected
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.  Isaiah 53:3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world.  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.  He came unto his own, and his own received him not.  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.  John 1:9 - 13

Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me.  And you will not come to me, that you might have life.  I receive not honor from men.  But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.  I am come in my Father's name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.  How can you believe, which receive honor one of another and seek not the honor that comes from God only?  Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father:  there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust/  For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me for he wrote of Me. But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe My words?  John 5:39 - 47 

And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things were filled with wrath, And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.  Luke 4:28 - 29

And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man and release unto us Barabbas.  Luke 23:18 

 
 The Messiah would be rejected by His brethren
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.  Psalm 69:8 After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee: for He would not walk in Judea, because the authorities  sought to kill him.  Now the  Feast of Tabernacles was at hand.  His brethren therefore said to him, "Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that you do.  For there is no man that does any thing in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly.  If you do these things, show yourself to the world."  For neither did is brethren believe in him.  John 7:1 - 5

 
 The Messiah would be a priest after the order or Melchizedek
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.  Psalm 110:4 So also, Messiah glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.  As he said also in another place, Thou art a high priest fore ever after the order of Melchizdek.  Hebrews 5:5 - 6

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Yeshua, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.  Hebrews 6:20

For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.  And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there arises another priest, who is made not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.  For he testifies, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.  Hebrews 7:14 - 17

 
The Messiah would enter Jerusalem triumphantly on the colt of an ass 
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem:  behold thy King comes unto thee:  he is just, and having salvation, lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.  Zechariah 9:9 And when they drew near unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples.  Saying unto them, "Go into the village over against you, and straightway you shall find an ass tied , and a colt with her:  loose them and bring them unto me.  And if any man say ought unto you, you shall say, The Lord has need of them; and straightway he will send them.  All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet saying,  

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem:  behold thy King comes unto thee:  he is just, and having salvation, lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, And brought the ass, and the colt, and put them their clothes, and they set him thereon.  And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.  And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying Hosanna to the son of David:  Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord;  Hosanna in the highest.  And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved saying, Who is this?  And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth, of Galilee.  Matthew 21:1 - 11

Also recounted in Mark 11:1 - 11 and John 12:12 - 19

 
 God set a time for Messiah to present Himself
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
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.  Daniel 9:25 On the next day many people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him and cried Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord.  John 12:12 - 13
