The Messiah will be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14-16). Fulfillment: Isaiah 8:3-4; 9:6-7; Matthew 1:18-23… This is a dual fulfillment prophecy. Yes, Jesus would fulfill it, but so would Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. Maher only partly fulfilled the prophecy though, and Jesus would later fulfill the prophecy to its fullest. Maher was conceived by a virgin in a more conventional way, being conceived by a virgin on her first night of intimacy. Jesus was born of a virgin before she ever experienced that intimacy. 


The Messiah will be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2-4). Fulfillment: Luke 2:1-7; Matthew 2:1-6… But, isn't Mary from Galilee? Yes, Joseph and Mary were living in Nazareth of Galilee but a census sent them Bethlehem and Jesus was born there. 


The Messiah will come out of Egypt (Matthew 2:13-15, quoting Hosea 11:1).... But, he was born in Bethlehem, right? And his parents lived in Galilee, right? Yes, but when Jesus was young, his parents took him and fled to Egypt to avoid Herod who was killing babies that might be Jesus. 


The Messiah’s light will shine from Galilee (Isaiah 9:1). Fulfillment: Matthew 2:19-23; John 7:41-43… But they fled to Egypt, right? Mmhmm. When Herod finally died, they returned to Galilee. So, now Jesus could come of age in Galilee and eventually start His ministry there.
