Prophecy
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him . . . (NIV) Isaiah 11:2
 
Fulfillment
At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son . . . with him I am well pleased. Then Jesus was led by the Spirit." (NIV) Matt. 3:16-4:1
 
Comment
This prediction by the prophet Isaiah, 740-680 B.C., merely says that a unique mark of the Messiah would be that the Holy Spirit of God would rest on Him. John the Baptist and others tell us the Holy Spirit did rest on Jesus.
