The following table is a list of the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah and their fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
This table only includes Old Testament prophecy that is applied directly to Christ in the New Testament. This table may also feature prophecies that are clearly about a future Messiah that are not applied directly to Christ (a distinction should be made in those cases). This table does not include typological pointers, passages not applied directly to Christ, or passages that are not a clear messianic portrayal. As a guideline, this table should utilize a christotelic hermeneutic.
This table is incomplete. You can help by adding appropriate entries per the above rules
