Sure word of prophecy

While reading Isaiah today, and pondering the crucifixion, something sparked that I hadn't thought about for a long time.

Who says Jesus is who he says He is? and if He is, what does that mean?

I suppose these are two very simple questions.

I would reply by saying, "Look in the Prophets"

Consider Isaiah 52 (bear with the funny chapter divisions) it says

Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

In my eyes, this has to attest to Jesus perfectly. One of the claims He made while He was on earth was "I am the Son of God" - either He was a lunatic, or He is who he says He is. I find it very ingenius that it says "he shall deal prudently" because this actually claims how he thought, we have access into His very thought life.

I cannot specifically mention all the times that Jesus has fulfilled the prophetic word. There is a particularly incredible set of prophecies related to Him, that prove that it could not be anyone else (This is what the Prophet is making clear, and this is what the writer of the gospels is making clear by referencing them)

Consider when Jesus came into Jerusalem. It says

All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: "Tell the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.' " So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. (Matt 21:4-6)

Before you say anything, this is not saying "prophecy fixing" - looking into the words and trying to fulfill them. Consider that he came up to Jerusalem as they were chanting a messianic anthem: "Come, Son of David, Save us! Come, Son of David, Save us!"

In all of this, I am wanting to show you, that what Matthew is saying, and what the Prophet is attesting to in Zechariah:

"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He [is] just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey. (Zech 9:9)

Both are saying "Look! I see Him coming! and Look, He rides on a donkey" This means that He is to come back on a warhorse, because the donkey was a sign of peace, but the horse, it is the sign of war. (Rev 19:11)
This is just one, there are others, attesting to the fact that Jesus is who He says He is. It is written:

They said therefore among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things.(John 19:24)
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!" (John 19:28)
For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not [one] of His bones shall be broken." (John 19:36)

But what would we know? Without looking too deeply, I would have to owe atleast a great debt of regard to Him, it makes perfect sense to be avid students of prophecy, because of that regard. But the thing is, I don't just owe a great debt of regard, but I owe Him my life. It's not enough just to understand these things, it is right to give your life to them. He the word, who created everything became a man, to fulfill His own word. This means when we are studying prophecy, we are studying Jesus himself, and when we know the true word of prophecy, we are rightly giving ourselves to what matters the most important. My friends, there are still many prophecies to be fulfilled, and one man is still worth it all.
