Name a major prophet who spoke about a coming Messiah in the Old Testament.

• A. Ezekiel
• B. Daniel
• C. Isaiah
• D. Jeremiah

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is recognizing messianic prophecy—that is, predictions about a coming savior. The prophet Isaiah is the best-known for this because his writings repeatedly describe an Anointed One who would bring salvation. He includes clear details such as a virgin birth sign, a future king who brings peace and justice, and a suffering servant who bears the sins of many. These vivid images in Isaiah’s prophecies give a strong, consistent picture of the Messiah, making him the major prophet most closely tied to predictions about the coming Savior. While other prophets contribute important messages, Isaiah’s prophecies stand out for their explicit and abundant messianic content.
