How many messianic prophecies are found in Scripture, and how do they point to Jesus? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Catholic Answers apologists explore the Old Testament foundations of the Messiah and how Jesus fulfills them. They discuss the most important messianic texts and passages, address whether people in Jesus’ time were sincerely seeking the Messiah, and examine common objections—such as why Jesus didn’t immediately bring universal peace. The conversation also explains why the apostles expected a conquering king, the difference between “Messiah” and “Lord,” and whether Jesus’ miracles would have been recognized as messianic signs. A clear and compelling look at how Scripture reveals Jesus as the promised Messiah.
