Predestination exists, and when we talk about prophecies, we enter into the field of this spiritual mystery, Jesus is the best example of what it means to be a predestined person since the beginning of time. The mandates of the Lord are invisible and eternal.
According to the Christian faith, and even by the very testimony of our Lord, in Jesus many prophecies of the old testament are fulfilled, because our Lord Jesus came to give humanity a new message of hope and faith; Jesus is the personification of the divine providence, the "Son of Man". Jesus is the new Adam who came to redeem mankind from their sins.
And faced with the persecution of his enemies, the high priests and especially the Sadducees and Pharisees, who considered him a false prophet and a blasphemer, Jesus explained to them that his arrival had been announced by most of the prophets, even Moses spoke of him:
"But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?" John 5:45-47.
The prophecy to which Jesus referred is in the book of Deuteronomy, let us remember that the first receptors of the gospel and doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven were the Jews:
"The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen—just as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly" Deuteronomy 18:15-16.
Jesus with this is explaining the origin of his authority, because he is the one sent by the Father to make a new covenant with mankind and deliver the eternal life to those who believe in him.
