	[No title]
		Inasmuch as there is much that is likely to be messianic prophecy in Daniel, it is worth our while to give that data within the framework of a survey of the book.
		We conclude: the prophecy of the seventy weeks works out rather well - with allowance for some approximation - in reference to the times leading up to Antiochus, yet verse 24 refers entirely to the time of Christ, and there may be vague allusions to that same time in verse 26.
		We have already seen at least a glimpse of the truth: the OT prophecies could easily give the impression, not that gentiles would be accepted into the Church as gentiles, but that they would all become proselytes.

	Messianic prophecy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Abrahamic religions, messianic prophecies describe the coming, acts, authority, personality, nature, etc., of the messiah, along with a number of future events or conditions, which are seen as signs of the coming messiah.
		The source of messianic prophecies is the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Tanakh or the Old Testament.
		Messianic scholar Russell Resnick (2004) presented the interesting view that the passage refers to both Jesus and Israel and that, therefore, neither interpretation is completely right and neither interpretation is completely wrong.

	Messianic Prophecies (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
		Not long after Creation, God prophecied to the serpent Satan, "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel" (Genesis 3:15).
		This prophecy was fulfilled in the first instance at the cross, but will culminate when the triumphant Christ casts Satan into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10).
		This primeval prophecy made such a profound impression on Adam's descendants that it was incorporated, with varying degrees of distortion and embellishment, in all the legends, mythologies and astrologies of the ancients since they are filled with tales of mighty heroes engaged in life-and-death struggles with dragons and other monsters.

		They fully understood the glory of the Messianic age and the proper response to it; when they saw the Son of God in His brilliant glory on the Mount of Transfiguration, they thought the end of the age had come, that the Great Feast of Tabernacles should be celebrated (Mt. 17:4).
		Prophecy is explicitly stated in linear history, but typology looks back to the events and discerns that the New was already in the Old implicitly.

	Messianic prophecies

		Their prophecies were recorded in the Old Testament, which was written between the time of Moses, about 3400 years ago, up through about the time of Malachi, which was about 2400 years.
		For example, in Micah 5:2, there is a prophecy that said the Messiah would be born in the town of Bethlehem, in the province of Judah.

	Debunking "Proof Texts" from the Psalms - Part 7
		The set of "messianic prophecies" identified by Christians in the Christian "Old Testament" is not congruent with the set of "messianic agenda items" that was developed by the Jewish prophets in the Hebrew Bible.
		The Jewish messianic vision is an original concept at the heart of traditional Judaism, and the dream of an eventual redemption is one of its foundations.
		The "messianic agenda", which consists of the "action items" (the "messianic prophecies" of Judaism) expected to be executed and completed for the messianic era to be a reality.

	A Ready Defense - Messianic prophecies fulfilled in Jesus
		In the Old Testament there are sixty major messianic prophecies and approximately 270 ramifications that were fulfilled in one person, Jesus Christ.
		Stoner says that by using the modern science of probability in reference to just eight prophecies, "we find that the chance that any man might have lived down to the present time and fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 in 1017." That would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000.
		This means that the fulfillment of these eight prophecies alone proves that God inspired the writing of those prophecies to a definiteness which lacks only one chance in 1017 of being absolute.

	The Messianic prophecies List
		A popular interpretation of the seventy week prophecy known as the "Gap Theory" is based on the assumption that Christ did not fulfill all of these points at His first Coming.
		This prophecy of the cleansing of the woman gives us an indication of the year of His birth because it indicates His age at death.
		We know from the prophecy of Daniel 9 that Jesus died on Passover in 31 A.D. (Nisan 14) We know from the prophecy of the unclean woman that he must be thirty three years old at His death.

	Rejection of Pascal's Wager: Messianic Prophecies
		Many details of the nativity (which no one claims were messianic) such as Mary's song of praise and the annunciation can be shown to be constructed from Old Testament passages.
		Thus Isaiah 7:14 is not a messianic prophecy at all but simply a mistranslated passage taken out of context by the early Christians.
		Finally, as is the case with the prophecy of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem above, we note that many of the details in the story were probably constructed from Old Testament sources.

	The Old Testament Messianic Hope
		These prophecies complete the Old Testament portrait of the coming Messiah, but it is important to remember that the Messianic prophecies were not given like the pieces of a puzzle that, when filled in, give an entire picture of Jesus Christ and His life, death and resurrection.
		The Messianic texts continually point beyond the limits of the merely human, and demand, as it were, their fulfillment by more than natural events.
		The last factor in the Messianic hope that I wish to discuss is also one that could not have successfully marked the lives of the kings of Judah but not because they were not strong enough in war.

	Critique of Josh McDowell's Non-Messianic Prophecies
		The Bible admits itself that a true prophecy is no proof at all that the God claimed to be responsible for the prophecy does actually exist.
		Prophecies of upheaval and a new kingship were most dramatic to this particular person at this moment, but their dating has long been a puzzle.
		The second prophecy, a mere three weeks later, either assumes that the revolts will continue, or is already aware of another upheaval which was to preoccupy Darius in the next year around Susa itself.

	Messianic Prophecies
		Messianic prophecies comprise the collection of over 300 predictions in the Jewish Scriptures about the future Messiah (Savior) of the Jewish people and the world.
		Although I was now viewing the Bible as a credible source, and I was stunned by some of the historical prophecies I examined in the Old Testament, I just couldn't get over the gap dividing the Old Testament predictions from the New Testament Jesus.
		Although some of the other predictions I looked at could be called "generalized," taken as a whole, these "Messianic prophecies were remarkable to me! I couldn't get over the odds of just one man fulfilling each and every one of these predictions!

		The prophecies of Daniel are special because they pinpoint the exact dates of some of the activity of the Messiah.
		Because of a prophecy about the age of His death, we believe that the year of His birth is 4 B.C. After I finished the calculation, it appears that Jesus was conceived around the time of Channukah.

		Of the prophecies written in the Bible about events that were to have taken place by now, every one was fulfilled with 100% accuracy.

		Matthew 2:1-6 describes the birth of Jesus as the fulfillment of Micah's prophecy.
		In that verse, the prophet establishes that he is speaking of Bethlehem the town, not Bethlehem the person, by setting up a context in which he is contrasting the city of Jerusalem with the town of Bethlehem.
		A second problem with the claim is that there is also evidence outside of the Bible that shows that Micah 5:2 was regarded as a Messianic prophecy involving the town of Bethlehem.

		The period of messianic prophecies encompassed many millennia — beginning with the foreparents Adam and Eve and extending to times close to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the beginning of our era.
		Setting these prophecies, for the most part, in chronological order, we shall see how they gradually revealed to the Jews newer and newer facts about the coming Messiah: about His God-person nature, about His character and course of action, about many details of His life.
