There are literally dozens of prophecies in the Old Testament pointing towards the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. These prophecies were given to the Israelites by God so the Israelites would recognize Jesus when He came to earth. They did but the devil Jews couldn't see because they are blind to the truth.
“Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew.”
(1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).
“Jews began to call themselves Hebrews and Israelites in 1860″ —Encyclopedia Judaica 1971 Vol 10:23
“The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees.” Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 3 pg. 474
Jesus speaking to the Jewish Pharisees:
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John 8:44
