Many Christians believe that Jesus is foretold in the Old Testament through various prophecies and types. For example, passages such as Isaiah 53, which speaks of a suffering servant, and Micah 5:2, which predicts the Messiah's birthplace in Bethlehem, are often interpreted as references to Jesus. Additionally, the concept of a coming Messiah is woven throughout the texts, particularly in the prophetic books. However, interpretations vary, and Jewish tradition does not see these texts as referring to Jesus.
