预言的应验

The realization of divine predictions, demonstrating God's sovereignty over history. Matthew repeatedly notes fulfillment: 'This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet' (1:22, 2:15, 2:17, 2:23, 4:14). Jesus himself declared, 'Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms' (Luke 24:44). Over 300 Old Testament prophecies are identified as fulfilled in Christ — his birth in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), triumphal entry (Zechariah 9:9), betrayal for thirty silver pieces (Zechariah 11:12-13), crucifixion details (Psalm 22), and resurrection (Psalm 16:10). Fulfilled prophecy validates Scripture's divine origin.
