Jesus is the founder of Christianity. He is also known as The Messiah, which means “anointed one” in Hebrew. In the Old Testament, Jesus was referred to as Yehowah or Jehovah.

The Old Testament is a collection of books that have been preserved by the Jewish people over many centuries and are considered to be their sacred text. These books were written before the time of Jesus’ birth and contain stories about God’s interactions with the Israelites and his creation of the world.

The first five books in this collection, known as the Torah (or Pentateuch), relate how God created man in his own image, gave him dominion over all creation, and then allowed him to fall into sin. From there, God sought to restore mankind to himself through a series of covenants and laws.

The remainder of the Old Testament describes how these covenants were carried out by various prophets such as Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon and others. It also provides numerous examples of God’s mercy toward his people despite their disobedience which culminated in their exile from Israel after being conquered by Babylonians in 586 BC.

Jesus is one of the most important people in human history. He was born to a virgin, performed miracles, and taught people how to love one another. But where did he come from? How did he learn to perform miracles?

If you’re wondering about these questions, then this blog post is for you! We’ll be exploring what Jesus did before he was born into this world.

Jesus is the Messiah, or Christ. This means that he is the anointed one, who has been chosen by God to fulfill a particular role. Jesus was born to fulfill the role of the messiah in order to bring salvation to mankind. In this blog post we will look at what it means for someone to be anointed by God and how Jesus fulfills this role as well as some of his other titles.

Introduction

There is no more popular topic of debate in Christianity than whether Jesus was present in the Old Testament, and just how much he would have seen from his time on Earth. Of course, this stems from a fundamental misunderstanding that many Christians have. Let me clear it up for you: yes, Jesus was present in the Old Testament. No, he wasn’t there as a figment of God’s imagination. No, that’s not how prophets operate. No, I’m being serious: yes, Jesus is the first and only prophet who walked on this planet. If you read the Bible carefully or at least listen to conversations about it between non-Christians while at church or with friends who are Christians (and then you’ll know what I mean), you’ll see how much proof there is that Jesus was present in the Old Testament as a human being. In order for him to exist today outside of his followers’ imaginations as having been a real person sometime around 2000 years ago—as opposed to being yet another figure like Moses or Isaac who walked this earth—he had to be real before he was born! There’s no question about it: everything points us toward one conclusion: Jesus was there way before we were born and we’re all descended from him.”

Genesis 1:26 (KJV)

The Bible is the oldest written text still in existence, and it contains many stories about Jesus. The Old Testament refers to Jesus as God’s son. In Genesis 1:26 (KJV), God says that he created man “in his own image.” This means that humans are made in the image of God.

Genesis 3:15 (KJV)

Genesis 3:15 is a verse that can be found in the Bible. It reads, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

This passage of scripture tells us that Jesus Christ is the promised Seed of Eve (the woman), Abraham (her husband), David (Eve’s descendant), God Himself, and His mother Mary. It also shows how Jesus’ death on the Cross will eventually lead to Satan’s defeat.

Genesis 49:10 (KJV)

“The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to Him shall be the obedience of the people. Binding his foal to the vine, and washing in wine his robe.” (Genesis 49:10)

Judah is one of Jacob’s sons and he is known for being strong. In this verse, it says that he will be as strong as a lion in battle! It also says that he will rule over Israel forever! It’s clear that God had great plans for Judah even before he was born!

Numbers 24:17 (KJV)

The glory of kings is to search out a matter: but the glory of God is to conceal a thing.
The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

Deuteronomy 18:15 (KJV)

The prophet Moses was talking about in Deuteronomy 18:15 (KJV) was Jesus.
This prophet would come from the tribe of Judah, the family of Jesse, and Bethlehem.
He would be a Nazarene or Nazarite (a word that means “branch”). A Nazarene is someone who lives with God in his/her heart and mind by keeping God’s commandments and laws. This makes them different than most people who are not devoted to God because they don’t keep His commandments.
The last part about this prophet is that he would be a king—but not just any king! He would be King David’s heir on earth!

2 Samuel 7:12-13 (NIV)

The Lord declares that He will establish a house for David and his descendants. A son is to be born to David and his descendants who will build the temple. The son will be called Immanuel and will be known as a “God-with-us.”

Job 19:25-27 (NIV)

25 For I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. 26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; 27 whom I myself shall behold, and whom my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!

Psalms 2:7 (KJV)

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

This prophecy of Psalm 2:7 finds its fulfillment in John 3:16 where Jesus Christ says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Psalms 16:8-11 (KJV)

In Psalms 16:8-11, the author writes of a person who has no sin and no fear. In fact, he says that this person is “forever.” He also says that this person has no shame and no sadness. He also says this person has no tears!

Jesus is not just a man; he is God in human flesh (John 1:1). When you believe in Jesus as your savior, God makes you a new creation because of what Jesus did at the cross (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Psalms 22 (NIV)

We have carefully considered the Psalms and believe that they are Messianic. The following is a list of Psalms that we believe contain Messianic prophecies about Jesus, who was the son of David:

42:1 (NIV) My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me…?
42:4 (NRSV) You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

Psalms 45 (KJV)

1 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall teach you terrible things. 5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. 6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.. 7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, aloes, and cassia out of ivory palaces whereby they have made thee glad.[/column]

Psalms 45 (NKJ)

Psalm 45 is a messianic psalm. The Messiah is described as a king and husband, with his bride being the church. He is also called the Lion of Judah and the Son of God.

Isaiah 7 (NIV)

This is the story of the prophet Isaiah as told in his own words:

“In days to come,” declares the Lord, “the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations shall stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to [the place where he lives] that God has made for us a resting place for our souls.” And he will make for all people a feast lasting seven days…..On this mountain he will destroy death forever….

Isaiah 9 (NIV)

The child born will be called Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

The child born will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

The child born will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God (of hosts), Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

Isaiah 11 (NIV)

Isaiah 11:1-9 (NIV)

A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from its roots will bear fruit. The spirit of the Lord shall rest on him—the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. He will delight in the fear of the Lord and not judge by what his eyes see. He will judge fairly, show no partiality to either side; he will make decisions based on truth; he will execute justice for all who are oppressed. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel live in safety. This is your name: “The LORD Who Rules Over All.”

Isaiah 42 (NIV)

In Isaiah 42, God addresses the people of Israel, telling them that he is sending them a messenger to prepare the way for him. He tells them not to fear or be dismayed, because his salvation will come with peace and justice.

The first four verses (1-4) are an introduction from God to Israel. The next three verses (5-7) describe this person who will come as a messenger from God wearing a robe dipped in blood with a name on it that no one knows but God himself. This person is described as mighty and glorious in appearance, riding on a donkey colt with no sign of weariness or fear. The message is that this person will bring light into their darkness through his words and deeds as he presents himself before them as though he were a king worthy of respect due only to kings like David or Solomon who ruled over Israel during its peak years. He also presents himself as being greater than any other king ever known before by Israelites; he claims they should listen carefully whenever they hear what he says because his words are true and will change their lives forever if they follow them willingly without hesitation or doubt

Jesus was present in the old testament

You might be surprised to learn that Jesus was present in the old testament. In fact, he was present before and during his own birth! You can find Jesus in many places throughout scripture, but here are some of them:

The word “Jesus” appears as one of God’s names (Psalm 68:4)
“Savior,” which means “one who saves,” is used for God himself (Isaiah 12:2)
The temple and tabernacle were examples of Jesus’ body (John 2:19-21)

Conclusion

As you can see, Jesus is in the old testament. He had a hand in creating the world and everything it contains. He has given us His law to follow that will keep us from sinning against God. And he has promised us eternal life if we obey Him.

The apostle John said “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life” (1 John 5:11-12).
