The fulfillment of Old Testament (OT) prophecy in the New Testament (NT) is a central theme in Christian theology, demonstrating continuity between the two testaments and affirming Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah. The NT presents Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection as the culmination of divine promises made centuries earlier.
Over 350 Old Testament prophecies are believed by many scholars to have been fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus Christ. These include predictions about His birthplace, lineage, miracles, suffering, death, and resurrection. The fulfillment of these prophecies serves both as evidence of divine inspiration and as a means of identifying the true Messiah.
