Mashiach occurs with reference to a deliverer whose appearance would be future to the Old Testament era in only a handful of places, and some of those aren’t clear as to whether the anointed is even a follower of Yahweh.4 And there is no Old Testament verse that has a dying and rising mashiach.
Jesus had to enable the disciples to understand what the Old Testament was simultaneously hiding and revealing.
