Signs that Jesus is the Christ who was to come into the world:
John the Baptist: a preacher telling the one with two coats to give to him who had none, who fulfilled the prophecy that a voice would be heard in the wilderness lifting up valleys (those with no coat receiving a coat) and bringing low mountains (those with two coats giving one away) so there is a level ground for the Lord to be revealed, and who is that Lord who came after John? Jesus. He came after John the Baptist but was before Him in time. (Isaiah 40 )
The times are controlled by God, the Ancient of Days, but one goes into this Ancient of Days’ presence who is like a son of man. So Daniel foretold the exact time of the crucifixion by describing seven years at a foretold time in history and in the middle of those seven dies the Christ being cut off and having nothing. And so Jesus was crucified at that exact time in history and was in the ground (in the underworld) half of a week, before rising again. This time was linked to the command for the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem seventy sevens earlier and the time of the crucifixion was followed by resurrection in which after three days Jesus rebuilt the temple of His body and started the building of His church. Only God the Father can bring about such exact timings foretold centuries in advance because only God has enough dominion over time. So Jesus is shown to come from God, foretold as Christ. (Daniel 9 )
The name of Jesus is really best translated similar to the name of Isaiah but withou the -iah. This is how Aramaic spells it as Isa (Arabic too) which is the language of Jesus’ people and time. Isaiah foretold this similarity and foretold the significance of it since Isa means Salvation. So the angel who gave Jesus that name foretold Jesus saving His people from their sins. Isaiah linked this aspect of Jesus with the followers of Jesus given Him by God. These He saves. (Isaiah 8 ).
So here are three proofs from prophecy that Jesus is the Christ, i.e. the Son of God who was to come into the world.
