Is Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew) the Messiah?

The idea that a man named Jesus did not fulfill the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament is a misconception predominately held by Jewish People. Their argument stems from several key Scriptures: Isaiah 11:1-9, Isaiah 2:3-4, and Micah 4:2-3. We clearly see prophecies in Isaiah 11:1-9 about the coming Messiah, some which were fulfilled in Yeshua, and some have not been fulfilled yet. We don’t yet see wolves lying down with lambs, nursing children playing at the cobra’s hole, or the earth full of the knowledge of the LORD. The verses in Micah are also clear prophecies about the coming Messiah, and they tell of a universal peace that has not yet manifested. The argument then is: if Jesus was the Messiah, why isn’t there world peace? Many Jewish People who are still waiting expectantly for the Messiah are expecting a Messiah who will bring world peace.

Yet there are many Messianic prophecies that paint a different picture of the Messiah. Isaiah 53 speaks of the Messiah coming as a suffering servant, One who is led as lamb to the slaughter and who takes our sorrows, infirmities, and punishment on Himself. This suffering Messiah is prophesied to be pierced for our transgression. This is a clear depiction of Yeshua’s (Jesus's) crucifixion. With warmth and transparency, Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Bernis shares a compelling case for Jesus as the Messiah and presents overwhelming evidence that can be traced to the Torah (Old Testament) itself.

A significant Messianic prophecy often overlooked by those still waiting for the Messiah is Daniel 9:24-27. This Old Testament prophecy says that Messiah, the Anointed One, will be “cut off,” or killed, before the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, which happened in 70 A.D. Clearly, Yeshua’s death fits as fulfilling this prophecy, and no Messiah yet to come could. Bible prophecy contains portraits of both a suffering Messiah and a victorious Messiah. The suffering servant is pictured as a lamb, wounded, and cut off, but not for Himself. The triumphant Messiah comes to establish His rule of peace and righteousness over the earth.

These two seemingly contradictory prophetic descriptions are difficult to understand for Jewish People. To reconcile these two very different portrayals of the Messiah, there grew a belief among the rabbis that they were waiting for two Messiahs. One they called Mashiach ben David, and He would be the Son of King David who would rule and reign. The other they called Mashiach ben Joseph, the Son of Joseph. This Messiah ben Joseph would suffer and be rejected by his own like Joseph was rejected by his brothers. At the time of Yeshua’s coming, Israel longed for the conquering Messiah. Because of Rome’s oppression and their expectation that God would send the Deliverer, they were looking for Messiah ben David.

The truth is, it is not two Messiahs, it is one Messiah coming twice—first as the Lamb of God, the suffering servant of Isaiah 53, and then as the reigning King Messiah when Yeshua returns. Yeshua’s first coming fulfilled the prophecies of the suffering servant. With His Second Coming, we will see the fulfillment of the victorious, reigning Messiah of Isaiah 11:1-9!

Mathematics & Astronomy Professor Peter W. Stoner calculated the chances of just 8 prophecies (like these) coming true, by sheer chance, is 1 in 1,017 (100,000,000,000,000,000). That would be equivalent to covering the whole state of Texas with silver dollars two feet deep and then expecting a blindfolded man to walk across the state and on the very first try find the ONE coin you marked (roughly equivalent to the Province of Ontario being 1.5 feet deep). Here is an example of just 8:

And if we were to add only 8 more similar prophecies, for a total of 16, the odds would be 1 x 1028 x 1017 or 1 in 1045 (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).

There are over 300 prophecies listed below pointing directly to the Messiah in the Old Testament and being fulfilled by our Lord and Savior, Yeshua (Jesus) in the New Testament. No wonder Jesus was a Jew, for only His Chosen people would have a chance to recognized God's son by the prophetic word. They are listed in no particular order.
