Who foretold jesus' glory?

Answer 1

The first Messianic Prophecy was in Genesis chapter 3, verse 15, when Our Heavenly Father Warned the Serpent that he would make an Enmity between the Serpent & the Woman (Mary) & her Seed (Christ).

Answer 2

A:In Matthew's Gospel, the angel told Joseph that Jesus would be born and save his people from their sins. In Luke's Gospel, the angel told Mary that Jesus would be born and reign over the house of Jacob (Israel) forever.

Also, in Matthew's Gospel, and in Luke's Gospel by inference, there is a suggestion that the prophet Isaiah predicted the birth of Jesus from a virgin. Each of the Gospel authors used the Septuagint, an early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, which contained a large number of careless translation errors from Hebrew to Greek. One of these translation errors was to replace 'the young woman' by 'a virgin' in Isaiah 7:14. This provided the opportunity to write of the birth of Jesus having been predicted, but this was not really the case.

Finally, some pious Christians see the birth of Jesus in the following (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." Is this really about Jesus? After all, it does not mention his name, nor does it identify him in any way. At 5:5, Micah tells us more about the man who 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.

Answer 3

No one, at least in the Old Testament, could be said to have predicted the coming of Jesus. The first prediction traditionally claimed to be of Jesus is at Genesis 3:15:
"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. "

However, this is in no way a prophecy of Jesus: it is simply a promise to Adam and Eve about their future relationship, and Jesus is not mentioned. Jesus hopefully is not seen as the source of enmity between men and women, and the idea that Jesus by his coming would bruise the heel of Satan is far-fetched in the extreme.
