[YTM] 12.0 Prophecy and Fulfilment: The Coming of the Messiah (Yeshua HaMashiach)

The Scriptures outline a prophetic timeline revealing the coming, suffering, and ultimate reign of the Messiah. The prophet Micah foretold that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, a humble town in Judah, declaring that His origins are “from everlasting” (Micah 5:2), affirming His divine and eternal nature. Malachi later prophesied that a messenger would prepare the way for the Lord (Malachi 3:1), a prophecy fulfilled in John the Baptist, who called people to repentance before the ministry of Yeshua (Jesus).

Daniel 9:25–27 provides a clear time frame, predicting that “Messiah the Prince” would come and be “cut off” before the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D.—a prophecy fulfilled in Yeshua’s crucifixion. His death was not for His own sins but for the redemption of humanity. After His resurrection, Zechariah 12:10 foretells that God would pour out the “Spirit of grace” upon the house of David, and the people would look upon “Him whom they have pierced,” recognizing the suffering Messiah as their Redeemer.

Looking ahead, Daniel 7:13–14 proclaims the Messiah’s return in glory as the “Son of Man,” receiving everlasting dominion and establishing a kingdom that will never be destroyed. Before this great event, Malachi 4:5 declares that Elijah will come again as a witness, preparing the way for the Lord’s next coming.

Together, these prophecies present a continuous revelation: the Messiah’s divine birth, redemptive sacrifice, outpouring of the Spirit, and ultimate reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.
