19 similarities does not a prophecy fulfil.
However there are over 600 prophecies concerning Jesus Christ.
do I need to post all the prophecies so you can read them?
We were talking about the prophecies Jesus had already fulfilled and will fulfil not 1 Cor 15. Sorry you are the one who hijacked the thread in that direction I merely went down the rabbit trail with you.
Anyway, you were already given many scriptures by me and others to which without a breath rejected them all.
as I said you were given scriptures and denied all of them but you blindly follow men's teaching (the videos you linked too) over the preserved words of God.
Origen, a prominent and influential church father, conceded in the year 248 CE ... that the consensus among the Jews in his time was that Isaiah 53 “bore reference to the whole [Jewish] people, regarded as one individual, and as being in a state of dispersion and suffering, in order that many proselytes might be gained, on account of the dispersion of the Jews among numerous heathen nations.”3
The broad consensus among Jewish, and even some Christian commentators, that the “servant” in Isaiah 52-53 refers to the nation of Israel is understandable. Isaiah 53, which is the fourth of four renowned Servant Songs, is umbilically connected to its preceding chapters. The “servant” in each of the three previous Servant Songs is plainly and repeatedly identified as the nation of Israel.

The Old Testament prophecies are NOT fulfilled through the biblical character of Jesus of Nazareth. There is no prophecy of a dying and rising messiah, whose kingdom exists, not on Earth, but in Heaven. Daniels Messiah as well as Isaiah's hero govern earthly kingdoms.
Christianity tells us to be patient and wait, Jesus will return to finish the job and fulfill the prophecies.
the Kingdom exists only in Heaven
1 Samuel 8:5
They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. And the LORD told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.
8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”
...................
19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.”
2 Samuel 7
And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee.
4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,
5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
1 Kings 6:11 Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying, 12 “If you obey My Laws and keep My Word, then I will keep My promise with you, which I spoke to your father David about this house you are building. 13 I will live among the sons of Israel. And I will not leave My people Israel alone.”
14 So Solomon built the house and finished it.

However there are over 600 prophecies concerning Jesus Christ. At his first visitation 353 have already been FULFILLED (not just similar but fulfilled), and another 300 plus await fulfilment at his second visitation at which time he will established the promised earthly Kingdom with Israel.
353 Prophecies Fulfilled
Thank you. It was a fairly lengthy post, so I may have missed the part that specified God's Kingdom had to be an Earthly Kingdom

Sorry to disappoint but not very many Christians believe what I just presented above. Very few indeed believe this as I do.

Don't confuse the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of heaven.
We all know the kingdom of God is a spiritual Kingdom and it is with in.
We equally know the Heaven is a created place, the Kingdom of Heaven is the earthly Kingdom established by Christ when he comes, with the first thousand years being from the earthly Jerusalem.
After the Judgement and execution it upon Satan and Unbelieving man Rev 20, it will be established upon a new Earth, with a new heaven and from the New Jerusalem Rev 21-22.
Sorry to disappoint but not very many Christians believe what I just presented above. Very few indeed believe this as I do.
