Did you realize that there are dozens of prophecies about the Messiah in the Old Testament that Jesus personally fulfilled?Most people simply do not understand that Jesus fulfilled some incredibly amazing prophecies when He came to this earth. Even most Christians do not understand that these fulfilled prophecies are incredibly powerful evidence for the Christian faith, and that they should regularly be used in evangelism and for destroying the arguments of skeptics.
Why don't even most people in the Church know about these things?
Because the dead churches have never taught them.
In any event, the truth is getting out around the world, and it is time for all of us to learn about these amazing prophecies.
Jesus even used these prophecies to tell other people the truth:
Luke 24:27-
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
Luke 24:44-
He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."
John 5:46-
"If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me."
In the same way, the early disciples of Christ also used these prophecies to persuade people that Jesus was indeed the Messiah.
Acts 3:18-
But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Christ would suffer.
Acts 17:2-3-
As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. "This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ" he said.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4-
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures
If you do not know about these amazing Messianic prophecies, I would encourage you to learn.

Hello! I found your website. My name is Anders Branderud, I am 23 years and I am from Sweden.
You write about Christ; but you haven't yet realized that the historical pro-Torah Ribi Yehoshua and the post-135 C.E. anti-Torah Christ is two different persons.
So who then was the historical Jesus?
The first century pro-Torah Ribi Yehoshua – the Messiah - said:
"Don't think that I came to uproot the Torah or the Neviim [prophets], but rather I came to reconcile them with the Oral Law of emet (truth). Should the heavens and ha-aretz (the land, particularly referring to Israel) exchange places, still, not even one ' (yod) nor one ` (qeren) of the Oral Law of Mosheh shall so much as exchange places; until it shall become that it is all being fully ratified and performed non-selectively. For whoever deletes one Oral Law from the Torah, or shall teach others such, by those in the Realm of the heavens he shall be called "deleted." Both he who preserves and he who teaches them shall be called Ribi in the Realm of the heavens. For I tell you that unless your Tzedaqah (righteousness) is over and above that of the Sophrim and of the [probably 'Herodian'] Rabbinic-Perushim (corrupted to "Pharisees"), there is no way you will enter into the Realm of the heavens! “
Netzarim Reconstruction of Hebrew Matityahu 5:17-20.
For words that you don’t understand; se www.netzarim.co.il ; the link to Glossaries at the first page.
Ribi Yehoshua warned for false prophets who don’t produce good fruit = defined as don’t practise the commandments in Torah according to Halakhah (oral Torah). See Devarim (Deuteronomy) 13:1-6.
If you don’t follow Ribi Yehoshuas Torah-teachings, than you don’t follow Ribi Yehoshua.
So you need to start follow the historical Ribi Yehoshua – the Messiah – by practising Torah!!
Finding the historical Jew, who was a Pharisee Ribi and following him brings you into Torah, which gives you a rich and meaningful life here on earth and great rewards in life after death (“heaven”)!

Geir Toshav, Netzarim in Ra’anana in Israel (www.netzarim.co.il) who are followers of Ribi Yehoshua – the Messiah – in Orthodox Judaism
Hello Sweden!
Actually we do follow the Torah.
We look forward to more good comments from you.
I would also encourage you to check out prophet Tom Deckard's website:
