Moshe (Moses) brought to the Israelites G-d’s promise of the coming Messiah with this prophecy:

Over 80 prophecies have been listed here. All these prophecies could not have been fulfilled by Yeshua unless He was the Messiah. How could He control His birth? What false Messiah would submit to Yeshua’s death and burial? What chance is there of one person fulfilling these and more? It’s an impossibility unless you are the real Messiah!
Yeshua has fulfilled every prophecy relating to His first coming.
Now we must prepare ourselves for what the Bible says about His second coming at the conclusion of the last generation. Are you prepared to accept Yeshua as Your Messiah – as the Messiah of G-d?
