Jesus Christ the Fulfilment of Prophecy: Over 300 Promises Kept in Him

So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” – Matthew 1:22-23

Another interesting fact we need to note about Jesus is the number of prophecies that He alone fulfilled. He was an embodiment of prophecies through and through.

Scholars claim that He alone fulfilled approximately 300 prophecies made at different times in the Old Testament, some of which were made thousands and hundreds of years before He was even born.

The predictions made about Jesus dated back to the Garden of Eden when God proclaimed that the Seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent. Subsequent encounters between God and His people have also led to references to His coming or His activities on earth, even though the full extent of His mandate has been misunderstood to date by those of His earthly race and those millions of others who claim to follow Him. Notwithstanding, the number of foretells about Him alone is stupendous, and no other person in history commanded such spotlights as Him.

That is why the Scripture says, all the promises of God in Him are both ‘Yes’ and ‘Amen’ (2 Corinthians 1:20), because He fulfils them all.

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. – Habakkuk 2:14
