Most propecies about THE Messiah are built around Daniel. The term Messiah is used loosely in the Old Testament to refer to several kings, priests, and prophets who were anointed by God. But Daniel is where Christians derive their view that the Old Testament predicts Jesus as the Messiah.

The problem is that Daniel's passages are hard to interpret. Many Jews feel that Cyrus the Great, the Persian king who restored Israel as a nation, fulfilled Daniel's prophecy. Others believe it wasn't actually a prophecy at all, but merely a commentary on events that had already happened, and what Daniel felt they would bring.

You should also know that in the Tanakh, there is no specific prophecy that a Messiah would be born of a virgin. The ambiguous passage of Isaiah 7:14-16 seems to be more of a reference to contemporary events. Besides, the term almah can be interpreted loosely since it is used in a few Bible passages over several centuries, and it's not clear that the term ever refers specifically to a woman who has never had sexual intercourse, much less that THE Messiah would be born of such a woman.

So to sum it all up, Daniel never makes a specific reference to one Messiah, much less that this person would be Jesus, nor do we find a clear reference to Jesus anywhere in the Old Testament that isn't based on mistranslation or misinterpretation.

The evidence just isn't there.

To me the answer is simple: He lives in my heart - He saved my soul - I have been bought with a price.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for, now I can finish my research.

...uhm gee, certainly tori, you must realize that the writers of the NT had the Jewish scriptures available to them, right?

That said, most of your list is not even in the OT. For example, Born of a virgin is a mistranslation of born of a young woman, and He will die by crucifixion is not even a mistranslation. It simply exists in no form at all in the OT.
