7. He would be born of a virgin.
   (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:20-23; Galatians 4:4; Genesis 3:15)

10. His name would be the Messiah. The word Christ in English comes from the Greek word Christos, which means "The Anointed One." Christos in Greek is the word Mashiach in Hebrew, which also means "The Anointed One." The word Mashiach means "Messiah," who is Yeshua. (John 1:41)
