Every aspect of the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah had been prophesied in the Hebrew Scriptures long before the events ever unfolded in the timeline of human history. No wonder that Jesus the Messiah would say to the Jewish religious leaders of His day, “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me” (John 5:39).
Of the best-known prophecies in the Hebrew Scriptures concerning the death of Messiah, two in particular stand out: Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53. We examine select verses from these two chapters and compare them to New Testament texts about Jesus. We also identify the clearest and best known of the resurrection prophecies found in Psalm 16:10.
