Revelation of the Jewish Messiah

Who is the Jewish Messiah?

Prophets in the Tanakh prophesied about the Messianic era. Through these prophecies, our God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has revealed the identification of our Jewish Messiah to mankind. These prophets explain to us how we can identify Him – the Jewish Messiah. If we want to know who the Jewish Messiah is, we have to go back to God’s Word – the Tanakh.

The chance that the Messiah fulfilled just eight prophecies in the Tanakh is 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000 (10 to the 17th power)*. Therefore, it is extraordinarily unlikely that these Messianic prophecies occurred coincidentally.  And our Jewish Messiah, who has come, has fulfilled more than thirty prophecies in the Tanakh. Here are only some of them:
