Abstract

The question of the content of the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament has not lost its relevance since the time of Christ Himself. In the dialogues of Jesus and the apostles with the Jews, the problem of the identity of prophetic texts and ongoing events was acute. At the same time, in apostolic, and subsequently in church preaching and polemics with heretics, the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament become the basis for the formation and development of Christian dogmatics. In many cases, the question comes to the fore: did the prophets really mean certain provisions of the faith of the Christian Church. An example of a well-founded church answer to this question is offered by the comments of the blessed. Theodoret of Cyrus.
