WRITTEN ABOUT ME”
Old Testament Prophecies of Easter


His teaching on the cross and resurrection


He said to them, “How foolish you are, and
how slow of heart to believe all that the
prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have
to suffer these things and then enter his
glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the
Prophets, he explained to them what was said
in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
He said to them, “This is what I told you
while I was still with you: Everything must be
fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of
Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” Then he
opened their minds so they could understand
the Scriptures.
The coming Messiah



God said to the serpent “I will put enmity between you
and the woman, and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
(Genesis 3:7)
Moses said “The Lord your God will raise up for you a
prophet like me from among your own brothers. You
must listen to him.” (Deuteronomy 18:15)
Your house and your kingdom will endure forever
before me; your throne will be established forever. (2
Samuel 7:16)

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a
sign: The virgin will be with child and will
give birth to a son, and will call him
Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14)
For to us a child is born, to us a son is
given, and the government will be on his
shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
The suffering Messiah


I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my
face. I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my
own mother’s sons; for zeal for your house consumes
me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.
See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the
way before me. (Psalm 69:7-9)
Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has
encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet.
I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over
me. They divide my garments among them and cast
lots for my clothing. (Psalm 22:16-18)
The risen Messiah


my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body
also will rest secure, because you will not
abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your
Holy One see decay. You have made known to me
the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your
presence, with eternal pleasures at your right
hand. (Psalm 16:9-11)
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in
the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be
three days and three nights in the heart of the
earth. (Matthew 12:40)
The saving Messiah


Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole.
Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked
at the bronze snake, he lived. (Numbers 21:9)
“Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and
your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to
sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting
righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to
anoint the most holy…After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’
the Anointed One will be cut off and will have
nothing.” (Daniel 9:24, 26)
Suffering, rising, saving

Yet it was the Lord‘s will to crush him and cause
him to suffer,and though the Lord makes his life a
guilt offering,he will see his offspring and
prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will
prosper in his hand. After the suffering of his
soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will
justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
(Isaiah 53:10-11)
The reigning Messiah


In my vision at night I looked, and there before me
was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds
of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and
was led into his presence. He was given authority,
glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and
men of every language worshiped him. His
dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not
pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never
be destroyed. (Daniel 7:13-14)
I will place over them one shepherd, my servant
David, and he will tend them; he will tend them and
be their shepherd. (Ezekiel 34:23)


I will proclaim the decree of the Lord: He said to
me, “You are my Son; today I have become your
Father. Ask of me, and I will make the nations
your inheritance, the ends of the earth your
possession. You will rule them with an iron
scepter; you will dash them to pieces like
pottery.” (Psalm 2:7-9)
Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will
come to his temple; the messenger of the
covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the
Lord Almighty. But who can endure the day of
his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For
he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s
soap. (Malachi 3:1-2)
The Messiah’s mission


Abraham will surely become a great and
powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be
blessed through him. (Genesis 18:18)
It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to
restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of
Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for
the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to
the ends of the earth. (Isaiah 49:6)
