A Christian marvels at the unwillingness of the vast majority of Jews to recognize their true Messiah. The Old Testament is brimming over with prophesies foretelling the arrival of the Anointed One. According to one count 333 prophesies altogether, all come true.

Zechariah 9
9 " 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.
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim
And the horse from Jerusalem;
The battle bow shall be cut off.
He shall speak peace to the nations;
(New King James)
