Harpazo!

Biblical scholars that have spent years studying the Bible come up with different numbers of prophecies in the Old Testament that were fulfilled by Jesus. Some say over 500, some over 400...conservatively we can say at least 300 prophesies were fulfilled by Jesus. Here is a list my Bible study teacher Cecilia made: Messianic-Prophecies.pdf Here are other good lists: https://www.gotquestions.org/prophecies-of-Jesus.html https://jewsforjesus.org/answers/top-40-most-helpful-messianic-prophecies
God told us his plan for the redemption of mankind.. He also told us when the Savior would come in the book of Daniel, but he said it in a cryptic way that only earnest readers of the Bible would decipher. Part of the challenge is understanding ancient Hebrew. Another is that some prophecies refer to the first Advent when Jesus would come in earthly flesh, and other prophecies refer to His second coming in full divine glory. This is the complication that was a stumbling block for many first century Jews. They knew that the Messiah (Christ is Anglicized from the Greek Cristos) was to reign in triumph over a kingdom that would last forever. To them, Yeshua (we know as Jesus, the Anglicised version of Greek "Ieosous" pronounced "e-yay-sous") could not be the Savior because He died an ignominius death on a Roman cross. Yeshua is Hebrew for "Yahweh saves." The Anglicized version is Joshua.
Daniel was one of the exiles that King Nebuchadnezzar the 2nd took to Babylon when he conquered Jerusalem. There were a couple different times that captives were taken, but the main date is 586 B.C. Daniel is famous for the lion's den incident, but his greatest attributes are his tremendous faith in God and the wisdom that came as a result of that faith. He became an important court official for the Babylonians and stayed on to serve the next empire as well. Atheists claim that the book of Daniel is fiction written hundreds of years later than it actually was, because visions that God gave Daniel that are written in the book predict the change of empires from the Babylonian to the Medo-Persian to the Greek (Alexander the Great) and to the Roman empire, and if they admit that those political prophecies came true they would have to admit that there is a sovereign God who knows the past, present and future. They are uncomfortable with that idea. It is thought that Daniel completed writing his book about 530 B.C. after Cyrus the Great of the Medo-Persiaa empire conquered Babylon. You can read about the Cyrus prophecy in the book of Isaiah: https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah+45&version=NIV Cyrus allowed the Jews to rebuild Jerusalem, just like Isaiah said it some 200 years before it happened. http://www.evidenceunseen.com/bible-difficulties-2/ot-difficulties/isaiah-ezekiel/isa-4428-451-how-could-isaiah-predict-king-cyrus/ Know that the Hebrew word for week is "shabua" and literally means "a seven, or a period of sevens." Here is the scripture given to Daniel by the Archangel Gabriel concerning Messiah's coming to earth: https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+9%3A24-27&version=NIV Jesus quoted Daniel in Matthew 24:15 regarding the End of the Age.
And here is the tricky calculation that shows the Messiah arriving on Palm Sunday in 32 A.D. https://christian.net/resources/a-jewish-calculation-about-the-70-weeks-of-daniel/ Others calculate it slightly differently and say that it should be 31 A.D. or 33 A.D. https://www.endtimes-bibleprophecy.com/page7.htm Dating Jesus' Death
