A List of Some Messianic References in the Old Testament

It seems like Isaiah saying “Line upon line, precept upon precept” is a prediction of the Talmudic law. It seems like the word “Sprout” there in Zechariah refers to the “Stem of Jesse”. It seems like it’s literally naming Yeshua as both King and Priest. It seems like Isaiah is saying “Virgin” in Isaiah 7, as that’s what a young woman ought to be. And saying otherwise is to imply that God’s redemption came by way of a whorish woman. It seems like Isaiah 53 is saying for us to make an offering of the Messiah’s soul. It seems like Jeremiah 31 is talking about a New Covenant. It seems like Genesis 22:18 is speaking of a Seed from Abraham that will bless all generations—it seems like that’s predicting the future. It seems like Psalm 2 is saying to “Kiss the Son” the “One Begotten by God” “Lest He be angry with you.” It seems like Psalm 22 describes crucifixion. It seems like Job 9 is saying there need be a mediator between God and Man. It seems like Song of Solomon is saying we need to forsake worldly riches for the sake of the Shepherd. It seems like Hosea is prophesying that the Gentiles would enter into God’s inheritance. It seems like Leviticus 27:29 is saying Christ must be put to death. It seems like Genesis predicts the Serpent would bite Christ’s heel is a reference to the nail being driven into His ankle, and the crushing of the Serpent’s head is Christ’s victory over death. It seems like Ezekiel 37 is talking about the resurrection. It seems like Psalm 68 says that God, Yahweh, would literally die. It seems like Isaiah 43 and 48 say that there will be a newly created thing, and that the old shall pass away, and that Christ is the LORD God. It seems like Abraham being provided a sacrifice in place of Isaac is God saying He Himself will provide the sacrifice. There’s more. Lots more.
