The Messiah will be rejected (Psalm 118:22-23). Fulfillment: Matthew 21:42; Acts 4:10-11…. This Psalm describes David, who was the youngest of his brothers and rejected or thought lowly of several times before becoming the cornerstone of the kingdom of Israel. It also describes his descendant many generations later. Jesus was rejected by His people, but He is the cornerstone of our salvation. 

The Messiah will be betrayed for thirty pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12-13). Fulfillment: Matthew 26:14-15; 27:3-10…. Zechariah tried to teach and correct Israel as they were turning from the Lord, but they didn't listen and they paid him what he considered an insulting amount. So he threw it down. Judas was paid the same amount to betray Jesus then had second thoughts afterward and threw the money down. 

The Messiah will be betrayed by a close friend who eats bread with him (Psalm 41:9). Fulfillment: John 13:18-19, 25-27…. David was betrayed a few times. Jesus was betrayed by one of His disciples, one of His closest friends. 

The Messiah’s followers will leave him (Zechariah 13:7). Fulfillment: Matthew 26:31…. It was said that the Messiah’s followers would scatter. When Jesus told this to His disciples, Peter said he wouldn't leave Jesus, but he would end up scattering too and even deny knowing Jesus three times. 

The Messiah will come 483 years after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem. Then he will be killed.

(Daniel 9:24-26).... Daniel was an old man in Babylon when he wrote this prophecy. The 70 years of exile were almost over. He prays to God about letting His people return home. The exile lasted that long because the Israelites neglected to give the land its sabbath for 490 years. The sabbath is supposed to be every seventh year, a year of rest for the land. 490 years has 70 of those sabbath years. That’s why the exile lasted that long. That’s 70 weeks of years. Daniel had a vision from God that in the 490 years from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, God would accomplish His plan for salvation. Then He specifies that 483 years from that decree, the Messiah would come. When did that decree come? There’s two candidates. Ezra received the decree in 458 BC. The other was Nehemiah in 445 BC. If you take Ezra’s date and add 483 years you get 26 AD, which most Bible scholars would agree is the year Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Taking Nehemiah’s date, it comes to 38 AD (or 33 AD if they used a lunar calendar). That’s a bit long, but either way, the range of 26-38 AD is pretty specific and accurate. The prophecy goes on to say that the Messiah will die and the city and temple be destroyed. That’s exactly what happened.
