    Micah 5:2 -- prophesied that he would be born in Bethlehem (and even specified which Bethlehem, since there was more than one)

    Zechariah 11:12 -- prophesied that he would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver

    Psalms 22:18 -- that they would cast lots for his garments after his death

    Psalms 41:9 -- that he would be betrayed by a friend with whom he had eaten

    Psalms 34:20 -- that his bones would not be broken at death (unusual, because normally they were to ensure that the person had truly died)

    Zechariah 12:10 -- that he would be pierced through (speared when he died)

    Psalms 69:21 -- that he would be given gall and vinegar to drink

    Zechariah 9:9 -- that he would enter Jerusalem on a donkey

    Psalms 132:11 -- that he would come through the lineage of David

    As you said, there are hundreds. Hope this helps.

    Since the old testament was written about 600 BC, it has nothing to do with Jesus. (How would anyone writing a book know what was going to happen 600 years in the future?)

    Isaiah doesn't count because "his name will be called" means "his literal name will be", and Jesus' name was Yeshua, not Immanuel. "his name will be called" doesn't mean "his name will be interpreted to mean", that's just a Christian distortion to bolster the claim that Jesus was born of a virgin - a claim that wasn't made until 300 years after his supposed death.

    There's *NO* biblical prophesy that's both fulfilled and not so vague as to be meaningless.

    Micah 5:2 - that's backwards. The claim that Jesus was born in Bethlehem is based on Micah, not the other way around.

    Zechariah 11:12 - isn't about Jesus.

    Psalms 22:18 - also not about Jesus.

    Psalms 41:9 - refers to ANYONE who "considereth the poor".

    Psalms 34:20 - refers to ANY righteous person.

    Zechariah 12:10 - refers to God, not Jesus.

    Etc., etc. Anyone can quote out of context, but Yeshua, Son of God, isn't mentioned in the OT - not even one time. You'd think a god who knew everything that was going to happen would name Yeshua, the way he named Moses.

    In Isaiah- A virgin will conceive and they would call his name "Immanuel" then in Matthew (different language) His name shall be called, Emmanuel being interpreted "God with us." The crucifixion was prophesied 1,000 years before it happened in Psalms 22. He even recited it on the cross!
