Jesus says He is the long awaited Messiah in John 5:39 and Hebrews 10:7 529-1 - 1 - 1

John 5:39, "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." 
Hebrews 10:7, "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God."
Many who denigrate the Bible claim that Jesus never said He was the long-awaited Messiah. John 5:39 is the actual words of Jesus and in Hebrews 10:7 Paul is quoting Jesus.
There are many verses in the Old Testament that testify of Jesus starting in Genesis through John the Baptist, the end of the Old Testament. John 1:29. “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” The following is just a few more verses.
Genesis 3:15, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Jesus was the seed of Mary descended from King David through the untainted blood of his son Nathan’s line.
Genesis 22, the offering of Isaac and the substitution of a ram. This was a foretelling of Jesus as the Lamb of God, however, there was no substitution. Exodus 12 deals with the Passover lamb, the Lamb of God and Unleavened Bread, Jesus in the tomb. Then joy in Leviticus 23 First Fruits, the Resurrection of Jesus.
Leviticus 1:3, "If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord." Jesus was the ultimate blood sacrifice and quoted scripture while on the cross finally stating, “It is finished.”
A mystery in Numbers 21:8, “And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live” is explained in John 3:14, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.” Again Jesus, a propitiation for sins.
Numbers 20:11, “And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.” Numbers 20:8 Moses was told to speak to the rock but he "smote the rock twice," and out poured the water of Meribah. The rock was a type of Christ, foreshadowing Calvary.
The Book of Psalm has many of glimpses of Jesus. Psalm 22 is written like a first hand account of a victim suffering Crucifixion.
