Is the name Jesus mentioned in the Old Testament as The Messiah?
Gabby3
There is no specific reference to Jesus in the Old Testament, as this was composed between the 8th and 3rd century BC, 300 years before the birth of Jesus according to Christian doctrine.
The word "messiah" in the Old Testament means "anointed" and can refer to any saviour or liberator of a group of people. For example, Cyrus the Great, King of Persia is explicitly referred to as a Messiah in the Tanakh.

Where can you find Old Testament scriptures to prove Jesus is not the Jewish messiah?
A:Perhaps the best proof that Jesus is not the Jewish messiah is that none of the Old Testament scriptures ever refers to Jesus, either by name or in any way that unambiguously identifies him. Christians, from the gospel authors onwards, have sought to link Jesus with various passages in the Hebrew scriptures, but it requires strong faith or willing acceptance to see the parallels. We will not find any Old Testament passages that assert positively that Jesus is not the messiah, simply because the Old Testament was written before Jesus was born; also the notion of a Jewish messiah is largely external to the Old Testament. Of course, if Jesus is the son of God, as Christians assert, then it matters not whether he was the longed-for messiah. However, even this claim must be taken on faith, and faith alone.If you wish to read a Jewish rebuttal for the claim that Jesus is the Messiah, please see the Related Questions linked to below.

What is the most mentioned name in the old testament?
God, is what i suggest! As Jesus in mentioned in the new testament instead of the old! hope i helped!Actually Jesus is mentioned many times in the old testament, the problem is Jesus is the greek name used for the hebrew name Joshua. Also Christ is mentioned many times in the old testament too, as Christ is the greek word used for the hebrew word Messiah.Remember none of the bible was written in English (or Latin). The old testament was written in a mixture of hebrew, chaldean (babylonian), and aramaic; while the new testament was written in common greek. Words from each of these languages are typically transliterated to english rather than translated, sometimes resulting in 2 or more english words for the same thing depending on the part of the bible the words appear in.For what it is worth, the Joshua for whom a book in the bible is named is considered in jewish tradition to be a Messiah; so in greek he could justifiably be referred to as Jesus Christ!
