Prophecies Concerning Jesus Christ

Luke 24:44-45: Then He said to them, This is what I told you while I was still with you, that everything which is written concerning Me in the Law of Moses and the prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled. Then He (thoroughly) opened up their minds to understand the Scriptures"

John 4:19- 26: The woman said to Him, Sir, I see and understand that You are a prophet. Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you (Jews) say that Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary and proper to worship. Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither (merely) in this mountain nor (merely) in Jerusalem. You (Samaritans) do not know what you are worshipping -- you worship what you do not comprehend. We do know what we are worshipping -- we worship what we have knowledge of and understand; for (after all) salvation comes from (among) the Jews. A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshippers. God is a Spirit (a spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth (reality). The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming. He Who is called the Christ, the Anointed One, and when He arrives He will tell us everything we need to know and make it clear to us. Jesus said to her, I Who am now speaking with you am He.
