Here are 8 of those 300 prophecies:

Amen on all 300! I find these fascinating, some 600 years before Christ was born, yet he is the speaker in these Zechariah passages:

I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price...So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver, 11:12. Thirty pieces of silver, exactly Judas' "price," Matt. 26:14, 15.

And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, 12:10. "Me" he said, they shall look upon "me," and who was it that was pierced but Jesus Christ? John 19:34 quotes this passage as a prophecy of Christ's crucifixion.

And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends, 13:6.

Amazing, simply amazing. Proof positive for Christianity.

Can you or somebody tell me why the Jews are not convinced that Jesus fulfills these prophecies?

What are their alternative explanations?

Add to that ... Every place in your English Bible where it says LORD in capital letters in the Old Testament it is the translation for יהוה in Hebrew.That is God's name in the Bible.

At first glance it doesn't look like much since as Americans most of can't read Hebrew

So lets look at it as it would have been written before letters actually formed and people wrote in pictographs.

The image below is Hebrew as it was first written in pictures. Hebrew is read right to left instead of left to right .

first letter is a yod - find the Y and then look at the picture farthest to the left ... arm/hand
second letter is a hey - find the H and look at the picture farthest to the left - man with his arms raised it means look (also means breath and to reveal )
third letter is a vav(modern) or waw(ancient) - find the W and look at the picture - it's a nail
fourth letter is a hey - H - man with his arms raised and means look


So now to put it together as one would have seen it in the original picture --- God's name pictured ---> hand --> look ---> nail ----> look .... even the NAME points to Messiah Image and video hosting by TinyPic
