There are over 120 Messianic prophecies referenced in the Old Testament. Far too many to list here. They range from the Messiah being from the seed of woman (Gen. 3:15), of the tribe of Judah (Gen/ 49:10), declared to be the Son of God (Ps. 2:1-12), healing for the needy (Isa. 35:4-10), rejected by His people (Isa. 52:13-53:12), the Good Shepherd (Ezek. 34:23-24), scourged and spat upon (Isa. 50:6), Crucified with transgressors (Isa. 53:12), to His resurrection (Ps. 16:8-10). Most of these prophecies have an immediate application to their own situation and are also applicable to another context. An example of this would be the prediction that Christ is born of a virgin (Matt. 1:23) also had a fulfillment in Isaiah's day (Isa. 8:3). Some prophecies had only partial fulfilment that also foreshadow a final fulfillment. Typological interpretation shows how Old Testament events, persons, or things foreshadow the later Christian story.

Where did the Messianic concept originate and how did it affect Judaism and Christianity?
While the Messianic idea was originally a Persian idea, the materials used in the formation of the Christian Messiah were drawn largely from the Jewish Scriptures. There are passages in the Old Testament, as we have seen, which predict the coming of a Messiah. These furnished a portion of the materials out of which this Messianic deity, Christ, was formed. There are many more which have no reference whatever to a Messiah, which have been made to serve as Messianic prophecies. The Old Testament, as we have it, is alleged to be a Jewish work. It is, rather, a Christian work. It is a Christian version of ancient Jewish writings, every book of which has been more or less Christianized. Much of it is scarcely recognizable to a Jewish scholar. This is especially true of so-called Messianic prophecies. The Christian Messiah was, on the one hand, modeled, to a considerable extent, after the Jewish ideal, while the Jewish materials, on the other hand, were freely altered to fit the new conception. Referring to the work of the Evangelists, M. Renan says: "Sometimes they reasoned thus: 'The Messiah ought to do such a thing, now Jesus is the Messiah, therefore Jesus has done such a thing.' At other times, by an inverse process, it was said: 'Such a thing has happened to Jesus; now Jesus is the Messiah; therefore such a thing was to happen to the Messiah.'" (Jesus, p. 27). That the so-called Messianic prophecies of the Jewish Scriptures were the immediate source of the Christ is apparent. That he was, however, merely a borrowed idea and not a historical realization of these prophecies is equally apparent. The Jews were expecting a Messiah. Had Jesus realized these expectations they would have accepted him. But he did not realize them. These prophecies were not fulfilled in him. He was not a son of David; he did not deliver his race from bondage; he did not become a king, the important events that were to attend and follow Messiah's advent form no part even of his alleged history. His rejection by the Jews proves him to be either a false Messiah, or an imaginary being -- a historical myth or a pure myth -- in either case a myth."

Were there messianic hopes after Jesus?
According to the New Testament of Christian Scripture, Jewish believers of Jesus considered him the promised Messiah without question. Even Paul (an influential Pharisee and Rabbi of the day) converted to faith in Jesus - along with countless other Jews who retained a Jewish understanding of God. In turn, no indication was given that "another Messiah" was expected. Understandably, Christians acknowledge Jesus as Messiah. They also believe that the full completion of Jewish Messianic Prophecies will be culminated at His inevitable return. So in this regard, Christians still have a further "Messianic hope" for the second coming of Jesus.
