About the Messiah

I did a quick search on GPT for what is considered by many scholars, the top 10 list of Messianic Prophecies…  Our goal is to see if we can find enough proof in the Tanak (Old Testament), that would understand the top 10 more fully, and to see if that would have been convincing to 1st century jews.

This may end up being a Potential  series in order to dig more into each one.
