One of the Most Powerful Bible Prophesies of all Time... Jesus Clearly Foreshadowed in the OT

In Zechariah 12:10 Yahweh Himself declares:

 

“They will look on Me whom they have pierced…”

 

Pause and let that sink in.

 

When was Yahweh ever pierced?

 

This is one of the most powerful prophecies in the OT written hundreds of years before the cross. 

 

Yahweh speaking in the first person, saying He would be pierced by His own people and then mourned for.

 

The only fulfillment in history of such an event is Jesus of Nazareth on the cross.

 

Same God. 

 

Same pierced hands and side. 

 

Same promise of redemption.

 

The OT doesnt just hint at the Messiah….it reveals the shocking truth that the Son of God himself would enter our suffering and be pierced for our transgressions.

 

Who else but Jesus fulfilled this? Nothing in history comes close. Jesus is Yahweh the Son…..who came in the flesh and dwelt among us.
