How did people know Jesus was coming?

In the discussion of “How did people know Jesus was coming?”, we again turn to the Old Testament. A look at the Scriptures written hundreds of years before God came to Earth as Jesus. We looked at 25 reasons why Jesus should have been expected.

Of the 25 reasons my favorite passage comes from Psalm 22 where specific imagery of Jesus’ crucifixion is portrayed 1000 years beforehand and couple years before death by crucifixion was invented by the Persians. After this horrific display, Ps 22 continues in rejoicing in verses 25-31.

25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you will I fulfill my vows.
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the LORD will praise him— may your hearts live forever!
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him,
28 for dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations.
29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him— those who cannot keep themselves alive.
30 Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord.
31 They will proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn— for he has done it.
