Jesus in the Old Testament: Shadows, Prophecies and Revelations

Abstract

Despite the coming of Jesus and the existence of the Gospels, Orthodox Judaism still awaits the coming Of the great Per-SOD Who will bear the titles, the Messiah, the Prophet, the King, the Son of God, the Son of Man, the Servant of Lord and the High Priest. Christianity however proclaims that these shadows, prophecies and revelations about the Messiah, the Prophet, the King, the Son of God, the Son of Man, the Servant of the Lord and the High Priest already have their full manifestations in the person of Jesus Christ. Using biblical theology method with thorough application of the word studies, this work surveys Jesus in the Old Testament with special concentration on his shadows, prophecies and revelations and how such frameworks witnessed fulfillment in the Gospels and the entire New Testament. Jesus came and lived as a fulfillment of the Old Testament shadows, prophecies and revelations with perfect rendition on his dominant teaching on the Kingdom, the priesthood, and the office of the prophet in the entire Jewish framework. Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the High Priest, the Servant, Son of man and the Son of God predicted in the Old Testament.
