Messiah /anointed in the Old Testament

Psalms 2v2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

Psalms 45v7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Psalms 89v20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

Isaiah 61v1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
61v2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
61v3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Daniel 9v24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
9v25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
9v26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

The Suffering Messiah

Psalms 22v1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
22v2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
22v3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
22v4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
22v5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
22v6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
22v7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
22v8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
22v9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
22v10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
22v11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
22v12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
22v13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
22v14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
22v15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
22v16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
22v17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
22v18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
22v19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
22v20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
22v21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

Isaiah 53v1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
53v2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
53v3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
53v4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
53v5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
53v6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
53v7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
53v8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
53v9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
53v10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
53v11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
53v12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Daniel 9v26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

Zechariah 12v10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

72v14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
72v15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

72v17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

22v43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

1 Peter 1v18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
1v19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1v20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1v21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

5v7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
5v8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
5v9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
5v10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
5v11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
5v12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
