Death entered the garden when Adam and Eve disobeyed God
(Genesis chapter 3) because the wages of sin is death. God covered them in animal skins (Genesis 3:21) resulting in the first animal to be killed.
God foretold he would provide a way for man to be redeemed
of his transgression (Genesis 3:15).
Until the Seed appeared people had to make an animal
sacrifice to cover their sin with blood. But an animal sacrifice could never
wash away the sin, it was only covered for a time (Hebrews 10:4).
God provided His own flesh to be the sacrifice on the altar
(Hebrews 10:10).
Here are a few prophecies from the Old Testament about the
Messiah and the New Testament fulfillment.

1:26-31
Heir to King David’s throne: Prophesied in Isaiah

Be a sacrifice for sin: Prophesied in Isaiah

There are many more scriptures to verify Jesus fulfilled all
the Old Testament prophecies, but because
“In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved
us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10 NKJV).
Rejoice in Resurrection Day because your sin has been done
away with.The payment has been made, but you must accept the gift for the
benefit of life to be yours. If you haven’t accepted this payment into your own
life, now is the time to make that decision.
