ALL of these prophecies were made hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years before Jesus Christ was born. Looking in the face of how He literally fulfilled them all (plus hundreds more), it is impossible that He is not Messiah, Savior of the world. The ONLY person past, present, or future who could fulfill all these prophecies is Jesus Christ. See His genealogy starting from faithful Abraham (Matthew 1:1-17).
