Is Yeshua the Meschiach of the OT?

How can we prove that Jesus/Yeshua is the Messiah/Meschiach of the Old Testament?

Jesus himself used the OT Messiah prophesies to prove from the Scriptures that He is the Christ.

(Luke 24:27). “And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, [Jesus] expounded
unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself” The Bible also says that Apollos showed “from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ” (Acts 18:28 NKJV).

Yes! Old Testament predictions of the coming Messiah are so specific and so clearly fulfilled by Jesus of Nazareth that both Jesus and the apostles successfully used these prophecies to prove He was, indeed, the Messiah. The Old Testament holds more than 300 of these prophecies. Here are just 12 of them:
