There are numerous verses throughout the Old Testament that are interpreted by Christians as messianic prophecies or hints about the coming Messiah. These prophecies are seen as fulfilled in the New Testament by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Here are some notable ones, including their references and a brief description of each:

1. Genesis 3:15 - The first prophecy of a Redeemer who would crush the serpent’s head, indicating victory over sin and Satan.

2. Genesis 12:3 - God’s promise to Abraham: “In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” This is seen as an early indication that the Messiah would come from Abraham’s lineage and would be a blessing to all nations.

3. Genesis 49:10 - The scepter not departing from Judah: “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.” This is interpreted as a reference to the lineage of the Messiah coming from the tribe of Judah.

4. Numbers 24:17 - “I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near: a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel…” Refers to a future leader arising from Israel.

7. Psalm 22 - Contains detailed descriptions of suffering and death that Christians see paralleling the crucifixion of Jesus.

8. Psalm 110:1 - “The Lord says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.’” Here David speaks of the Lord to his Lord, interpreted as God speaking to the Messiah.

9. Isaiah 7:14 - “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Highlighted as a key prophecy about the Messiah’s miraculous birth.

10. Isaiah 9:6-7 - Describes a child being born who will have the government on his shoulders and shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

11. Isaiah 53 - A detailed description of the Suffering Servant, whose life and death would bear the iniquities of others and bring about healing through his suffering.

12. Micah 5:2 - “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” Foretells the birthplace of the Messiah.

13. Zechariah 9:9 - Predicts the triumphant yet humble entry of the King, “riding on a donkey.”
