Jesus was prophesied of in the Old Testament in great detail
1. Jesus told us that his coming was prophesied in the Old Testament(John 5:46 NIV) If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
(Luke 24:44 NIV) He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”
2. Many evidence that the Old Testament did foretell about Jesus’ comingThere are many verses in the Old Testament that foretell the coming of Jesus. His virgin birth was predicted in Isaiah 7:14. His birthplace in Bethlehem was given in Micah 5:2. Zechariah 9:9-10 describes his public entry into Jerusalem on an ass. His betrayal is described, including even the price of thirty pieces of silver, in Zechariah 11:12-13. The details of his crucifixion are portrayed in detail in Psalm 22, written by David at a time when offenders are killed by stoning and crucifixion was unheared of. The purpose of His death, and details of His trial, suffering on the cross are foretold in Isaiah 53. All in all, there are more than three hundred prophecies in the Old Testament which were fulfilled by Jesus during His first coming.
Further reference
3. It is not true that Jesus’ prophethood is only for the Jews while Muhammad’s is for all mankind. Surah 19.21 He said: “So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, ‘that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us’: It is a matter (so) decreed.”
According to the Bible, Jesus was also sent to mankind.
Matt 19.20
Notes
Other Muslims realizing the weakness of this argument, admit that the original word is “paracletos” and then claim that Muhammad was the “paracletos” that Jesus was referring to. However an examination of John 14:16‑17 rules out this possibility.
We have said earlier that Muhammad cannot be the paracletos because the verses state clearly that the Holy Spirit is the paracletos. Yet for those who wish to explore further, there are many other clues within the verses itself to tell us that Muhammad cannot be the paracletos.
