    Which OT prophecies actually matched Jesus as the Messiah?

    Without fudging or having to write pages of explanations, which Old Testament prophecies (that is, CLEAR prophecies of a coming messiah) actually match Jesus?

    Again, I'm talking about clear, one-for-one matches that any lay person can see.

    I would really love to help you out on this but I don't read the Old Testament.

    But I can say that in the New Testament you will find: 'we have a more sure word of the prophesy, whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light shining in a dark place, till the day dawn and the morning star riseth in your hearts...' This was in reference to those who doubted that Jesus was the Messiah.

    messianic prophecies fulfilled by jesus christ
    http://truthsaves.org/prophecy/

    No other person of history has numerous fulfilled prophecies like Jesus of Nazareth. His birth, life, ministry, death & resurrection are foretold in astonishing detail. They provide undeniable proof for the existence of God & proof the Bible can be completely trusted as God’s word.
    The prophet Micah precisely identified Bethlehem – 600 years before – as the earthly birthplace of this Ruler coming from eternity. Isaiah, also hundreds of years beforehand, foretold this Prince of Peace would first be a humble, miracle-working servant who through His sufferings would fully satisfy the righteous demands of God the Father’s justice, making the way for sins to be forgiven. Daniel prophesied the time of this Messiah’s appearing, to the day. Zechariah & other prophets provide a multitude of other details, again, hundreds of years earlier; all fulfilled. King David, more than a thousand years earlier, said this Holy One would not decay in the grave.
    No other religious leader, teacher or prophet comes close. The only prophecies remaining unfulfilled concern Jesus’ return. His own statement, “everything written about me … must be fulfilled” awaits only His soon-approaching return for completion. This time, He will return as the conquering King to judge & rule over the nations. Are you watching & waiting diligently for That Day?
    Your opportunity is right now. Confess to Him now the many ways you have offended His love proven on the cross. Turn from your sins, trusting Jesus went to the cross in your place & took the punishment your sins deserved. When you do, you can have full assurance of complete forgiveness now, eternal life & have the empowerment of His Spirit to obey Him, until That Day.

    Read a few of the prophecies yourself ~ Micah 5:2; Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 35:5; Isaiah 53:11; Hebrews 12:2; Daniel 9:25-26; Zechariah 9:9; Psalm 16:10; Luke 24:44; Revelation 3:10; Revelation 2:26

    "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined. You have multiplied the nation and increased its joy; they rejoice before you according to the joy of harvest as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For you have broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. For every warrior's sandal from the noisy battle, and garments rolled in blood, will be used for burning and fuel of fire. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." Isaiah 9:2-7

    "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel." Isaiah 7:14

    "There shall come forth a rod from the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. His delight is in the fear of the Lord, and he shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears; but with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, and faithfulness the belt of His waist." Isaiah 11:1-5

    "And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people; for the Gentiles shall seek Him and his resting place shall be glorious." Isiah 11:10

    Also read chapter 12 of Isaiah

    answer: None. There are only a small number of prophecies about the Jewish Messiah. Jesus fit none of them.

    The actual prophecies about the Jewish Messiah
    * The Sanhedrin will be re-established (Isaiah 1:26)
    * Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance. (Isaiah 2:4)
    * The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah 2:17)
    * He will be descended from King David (Isaiah 11:1) via King Solomon (1 Chron. 22:8-10)
    * The Moshiach will be a man of this world, an observant Jew with "fear of God" (Isaiah 11:2)
    *****In other words - this must all be accomplished in a human lifetime*****
    * Evil and tyranny will not be able to stand before his leadership (Isaiah 11:4)
    * Knowledge of God will fill the world (Isaiah 11:9)
    * He will include and attract people from all cultures and nations (Isaiah 11:10)
    * All Israelites will be returned to their homeland (Isaiah 11:12)
    * Death will be swallowed up forever (Isaiah 25:8)
    * There will be no more hunger or illness, and death will cease (Isaiah 25:8)
    * All of the dead will rise again (Isaiah 26:19)
    * The Jewish people will experience eternal joy and gladness (Isaiah 51:11)
    * He will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah 52:7)
    * Nations will end up recognizing the wrongs they did to Israel (Isaiah 52:13-53:5)
    * The peoples of the world will turn to the Jews for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23)
    * The ruined cities of Israel will be restored (Ezekiel 16:55)
    * Weapons of war will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9)
    * The Temple will be rebuilt (Ezekiel 40) resuming many of the suspended mitzvot
    * He will then perfect the entire world to serve God together (Zephaniah 3:9)
    * Jews will know the Torah without Study (Jeremiah 31:33)
    * He will give you all the desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4)
    * He will take the barren land and make it abundant and fruitful (Isaiah 51:3, Amos 9:13-15, Ezekiel 36:29-30, Isaiah 11:6-9).
