We realize that many may scoff at our revelation from the LORD, but there is more proof than the Book of the Messiah to prove John was the Christ:-
The prophesies that John the Baptist fulfilled, showing he was the Messiah.1. Psalm 16:10 - He was not abandoned in the grave
2. Psalm 34:20 - No bones of his were broken in his execution
3. Psalm 41:9 - He was betrayed by his friend
4. Isaiah 7:14 - The son of a virgin - Elizabeth had no other children.
5. Isaiah 11:1 - A descendant of David
6. Isaiah 32:16 - Justice from the desert
7. Isaiah 35:5-10 - Showed the Way of Holiness the afflicted healed in spirit
8. Isaiah 40:3 - A voice in the desert
9. Isaiah 42:1-4 - To bring justice
10. Isaiah 50:4-7 - Obiedient, he did not hide from mockery or the pulling out of his beard
11. Isaiah 52:13-53 - He had no beauty. He was beaten. He was pierced. He was innocent of wrongdoing. He was killed with the wicked. Buried with the rich. He was a guilt offering.
12. Isaiah 57:1 - The righteous have perished to escape evil
13. Daniel 9:25-27 - The "sevens" are periods of seven years each. So the Anointed One is to die in 32CE.
14. Micah 5:2 - Born in Bethlehem
15. Zechariah 9:9 - Rode into Jerusalem on a donkey
16. Malachi 3:1 - Messenger before the LORD's coming. Went to the Temple.
17. Malachi 4:5 - Came as Elijah before the Day of the LORD.
This proves that John must have been the Messiah. Who else could have fulfilled all of these prophecies?
