The foreshadowing of the Messiah can be seen in Isaiah 42: 1, when Isaiah says: 'Here is my servant whom I support, my chosen one with whom I am thankful. Upon him I have put my spirit; he shall bring forth justice to the nations.' This prophecy of God calling for the Messiah to be His chosen servant is fulfilled in Mark 1: 11, when Mark says: 'And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”' The foreshadowing of the Messiah can be found in Isaiah 53: 3, when Isaiah speaks: 'He was refused and avoided by men, a man of suffering, knowing pain, like one from whom you turn your face, rejected, and we held him in no respect.' This fulfillment of the prophecy of the Messiah being rejected by his own people can be found in Matthew 2: 3, when Matthew says: 'When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all of Jerusalem with him.' The foreshadowing of the Messiah can be shown in the Old Testament when in Isaiah 53: 8, Isaiah says: 'He was given a grave among the wicked, a burial place with evildoers, though he had done no wrong, nor was lies found in his mouth.' This prophecy is fulfilled in 1 Peter 2: 22, when Peter says: 'He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.' Read more
