Christians believe that a lot of prophets in the old testament foresaw his coming. Below are some of the prophecies about Jesus.

The first one is where God said he would bless the world through the lineage of Abraham. He would bless those who bless them and curse those who cursed them. Sure enough, the heirs and offspring of the prophets and servants of the Lord who made covenants with God in the past were blessed and corrected from the error of their ways.

God blessed Abraham with a son at the age of 100 years. His son was named Isaac and through him, the whole world would be blessed. Sure enough, as the generations continued, there came up king David. He can be traced back to the lineage of Abraham. Jesus was referred to as the son of David, the son of Abraham in Matthew 1:1.

The prophet Isaiah said that the Messiah would be born of a virgin. This is recorded in the book of Isaiah 7:14. Like many other prophecies made by the prophet Isaiah, it came to pass a lot later in life. According to Like 1:35, an angel of the Lord appeared to Mary and told her that she was going to have a son through the power of the holy spirit.

According to the book of Hosea 11:1, the Messiah would at some point find himself in the land of Egypt. It never said why but surely, Son of God was taken to Egypt shortly after his birth. He fled because all the newborn baby boys were to be killed by the orders of King Herod. After the passing on of King Herod, they went back to Egypt as indicated on Matthew 2:14-15.

Christ was to be inated in Bethlehem. A prophet of the lord known as Micah prophesied that he would be given in Bethlehem of Judea. This is according to the book of Micah 5:2. It eventually came to pass as the teachers of the law supported this statement by referring to the previous prophecy. He indeed would be born in Bethlehem as indicated on Matthew 2:4-6.

After sinning, humans and the serpents were to loathe each other for eternity. God proclaimed that the serpents would always bite the humans heel and the human would always crush the head of the serpent. According to Genesis 3:15. This was at the beginning of time and sure enough, Jesus came to destroy the work of the devil according to 1st John 3:18.

People used to place all of their sins on a blemish-free animal, mostly purely white colored and then sacrifice it to God as a way of repenting. This is according to Exodus 12:5. However, Son of God came to the world to take on the sins of every human being. He was a sinless soul and was, therefore, the ultimate sacrifice. Hebrews 9:14.
