What is a prophecy?

A prophecy is a message or prediction believed to be inspired by a divine source or a prophet.*

How many prophecies are there about the coming of Jesus Christ?  

Scholars estimate that the Old Testament contains between 300 and 450 prophecies regarding the first coming of Jesus Christ.*

How do we know those prophecies were real?

Because they came true at least three times.  

Just as you know something is a prediction, not guesswork, if it passes the verification test three times.

"Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern.”*

Biblical scholars agree that Jesus fulfilled at least 300 distinct predictive prophecies during His earthly life, death, and resurrection.*

Therefore, we know they were prophecies from various prophets and were verified as true and fulfilled at least 300 times.
