352.0. "OT passages that prophesy Christ" by CNTROL::JENNISON (Unto us, a Child is given) Mon Dec 20 1993 08:06

    
    	
    	I'm trying to put together a scripture reading for Jamie
    	and I to read on Christmas (as a new family tradition).
    
    	I'd like to include OT passages that prophesy the coming
    	of Christ, and plan to finish with readings from the
    	first two chapters of Luke.
    
    	Anyone care to point out OT passages that I can include ?
    	I'll be starting with Genesis 3:15.
    
    	Thanks,
    	Karen

A directory of 326.* gives the following replies with the following

352.3The Office?KALI::EWANCOEric James EwancoMon Dec 20 1993 09:207
John,

did you get those from the Liturgy of the Hours and the Divine Office? There
are many good references in there; unfortunately my Office is at home, and I
am not going to have time to type them in before I go home for Christmas.

Genesis 12:1-3		All people on earth will be blessed through Abram's
			descendants
Genesis 49:8-12		Jacob's blessing of Judah, proclaiming that the king
			will come from Judah's line.
Isaiah 11		From Jesse's line - Spirit of the Lord will rest on him.
1 Chron 22:10		King to be of Solomon's line - "He will be my son, and
			I will be his father."  And I will establish the throne
			of his kingdom over Israel forever."
Psalm 22		Crucifiction.  "My God, My God, why have you forsaken
			me?"  "They have pierced my hands and feet."
			(crucifiction not invented as a means of torture for
			nearly 1000 years after this was written.)
Isaiah 61		Year of the Lord's favor (claimed by Christ in Nazereth
			temple)
Isaiah 53		Through HIS stripes we are healed.
Daniel 2		Nebuchanezzar's dream - in the time of the Iron kingdom 
			(Rome), God will set up a kingdome that will never be
			destroyed.

That's a start, anyway.

    This is a neat idea! I think I'll try it with my kids. I'll have one
    look up the prophecy and read it, and the other look up the fulfillment
    and read it. When we're done with that I'll read the familiar Luke 2
    account. Thanks, Karen for the idea.
    
    I spent some time over the last couple of days looking up prophecies
    that are directly related to Christmas, i.e. fulfilled in the birth
    narratives. Here's what I've come up with:
    
	Seed of a woman		Gen. 3:15	Matt 1:18
	Immanuel		Isa. 7:14	Matt 1:23
	Virgin birth		Isa. 7:14	Luke 1:26-27
	Born in Bethlehem	Mic. 5:2	Luke 2:4-7
	Line of David		Isa. 9:7	Luke 3:31
	Line of Jesse		Isa. 11:1	Luke 3:32
	Line of Judah		Gen. 49:10	Luke 3:33
	Line of Jacob		Num. 24:17	Luke 3:34
	Son of God		Psa. 2:7	Luke 1:32,35
    
    If anyone can find some that I've missed (n.b. I'm limiting the scope
    just to those prophecies that are *clearly* related to Jesus *and* that
    are fulfilled in the birth narratives) I'd like to hear from you.
    Thanks.

    There are 332 total Messianic OT prophecies.  I know I've entered a
    list of 64 somewhere in here before.
