There are no real references in the Old Testament to the birth of Christ.
However, it is commonly accepted by Christians that the Book of Isaiah prophesied the birth of Jesus. A reference to a prophecy in the Book of Isaiah can be found in the Gospel According to St Matthew at 1:22-23. Matthew was looking for a biblical reference he could use to prove that Jesus was prophesied to be born of a virgin. However, he relied on the Septuagint, an early, flawed Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. The Septuagint incorrectly translated Isaiah 7:14 to say that a virgin would conceive and bear a child. The correct translation would have been "the young woman", and the young woman in question did have a child a few verses later in Isaiah. The author of the Gospel of Matthew relied on this mistranslation to show that it was prophesied that Jesus would be born of a virgin.
Others see references to the birth of Jesus in Micah 5:2: "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." However, this does not mention Jesus and it is hard to even identify a description of Jesus anywhere in the passage. In any case, Micah 5:5 tells us more about the man who Micah said will come out of Bethlehem: "And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. " Jesus was centuries too late to fit this profile.
We can be sure that there is no reference to the birth of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament, but pious Christians will continue to 'find' them. And in each case, close scrutiny shows that the Old Testament was merely writing about events in his own time.
there are a lot but the first one i found was luke chapter 2

In the Old Testament, there are prophecies that point to the coming of a divine Messiah who would be God in human form. For example, in Isaiah 9:6 it says, "For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." This verse suggests that the Messiah would be seen as God himself.
Egyptian King Tut lived in the circa of the Exodus. Jesus did not mention him directly but spoke about Pharaoh in the Old Testament.
Jesus was the turning point in the Bible where God basically became less militant. In the old testament, God was violent, destructive, and hateful. A majority of the 2 million people God killed in the Bible, were in the Old testament. So once, Jesus came and asked God to forgive us, He became the loving God we think of today.
Jesus never mentioned Purim in the New Testament.
Jesus says 'hell' 15 times in the gospels. As the rest of the Bible is inspired by his Holy Spirit, we may say that he said 'hell' also, 27 times in the remainder of the New Testament, and about 42 times in the Old Testament.
