Messianic Prophecies: Book of Isaiah
Straight from the book of Isaiah. Jesus Christ is the true Messiah. The Son of God. The Savior of the world.
Read it for yourself.
Isaiah contains numerous prophecies about Jesus, foretelling His miraculous birth (virgin birth as Immanuel, Isaiah 7:14), divine titles (Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Isaiah 9:6), suffering and atonement (Isaiah 53), and ultimate peaceful reign, often referred to as the "fifth gospel" for its detailed messianic predictions fulfilled in Jesus Christ's life, death, and future return.
