- God’s pledge to send the Messiah:
- One of the central themes in the Old Testament is the promise of the coming Messiah. There are more than 3000 verses dedicated to this wonderful pledge. The faithful of the Jewish nation longed for this event.
- The word ‘Messiah’ means ‘Anointed One’ (in Greek ‘Christ’). It comes from the Jewish practice of anointing their priests and kings. It points forward to a future King who would be sent from God to save the human race. Here’s some texts:
- The Messiah would be the born of a woman and would crush the head of Satan. Genesis 3:15.

- He would be born of a virgin. Isaiah 7:14.
- He would be pierced for our transgression and crushed for our iniquities. Isaiah 53:5.
- He would die among the wicked ones but be buried with the rich. Isaiah 53:9.
- He would be resurrected from the grave, for God would not allow His Holy One to suffer decay. Psalm 16:10.
