Old Testament witnesses of Christ
Prophets of the Old Testament knew of Christ centuries before His birth. Some had visions of His birth, life, ministry, and Second Coming. They taught the people to look forward to the coming of the Saviour. Jacob blessed his son Judah that his descendants would rule until Christ (Shiloh) would come (Genesis 49:10). Moses prophesied of Christ’s coming and commanded Israel to follow Him (Deuteronomy 18:15). Isaiah foretold the birth and mission of the Saviour and also prophesied of His Second Coming (Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 53:4–5; Isaiah 40:5). Jeremiah taught that Christ would come through the line of David (Jeremiah 23:5). Ezekiel taught Israel of the resurrection that would come about because of Jesus Christ (Ezekiel 37:11–14).
