The sacrifice and resurrection of the Messiah were foretold.
Psalm 22, written by King David a millennium before Christ, gives us the very perspective of the Lord hanging on the cross.
It describes how the people mocked Christ (Psalm 22:7-8), how they cast lots to divide up his clothes (Psalm 22:18), how his bones were out of joint (Psalm 22:14) and how the wicked pierced his hands and feet (Psalm 22:16).
The following Bible prophecies about the crucifixion and resurrection all came true.
Prophecy - "But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5).
Prophecy - "Rejoice greatly, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey - even on a donkey's colt." (Zechariah 9:9)
Prophecy - "He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not." (Isaiah 53:3)
Prophecy - "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth." (Isaiah 53:7)
Prophecy - "I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing." (Psalm 22:17-18)
Prophecy - "They have pierced my hands and feet." (Psalm 22:14-16)
Prophecy - "He had done no wrong, and he never deceived anyone. But He was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man's grave." (Isaiah 53:9)
Prophecy - "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matthew 12:40).
Prophecy - "The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit in honour at my right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet." (Psalm 110:1)
