1 Nephi 10:5

5  And he also spake concerning the prophets, how great a number had atestified of these things, concerning this Messiah, of whom he had spoken, or this Redeemer of the world.
Old Testament Propheies/Testaments of the Messiah:

Isaiah:  Jesus’ mother will be a virgin. (Isaiah 7:14)                                             Fulfilled: Matthew 1:18–23.
Jesus will be a descendent of Isaac and Jacob. (Gen. 17:19 Num. 24:17)            Fulfilled: Matthew 1:2.
Micah:  Jesus will be born in the town Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2).                         Fulfilled: Luke 2:1–7.
Hosea:  Jesus will be called out of Egypt. (Hosea 11:1)                                       Fulfilled: Matthew 2:13–15.

ascend into heaven, and sit at the right hand of God. (Psalm 22:16;                     Luke 23:33, Acts 2:25-32
Psalm 16:10; Isaiah 53:10–11; Psalm 68:18; Psalm 110:1).                                  Acts 1:9; Hebrews 1:3.

            -one of the primary priveledges and responsibilities of a prophet is to speak (to testify) concerning the reality of the Messiah, the Redeemer, the Savior of the world.  All other messages (like repentance, getting on the ark, marking your door posts with lamb's blood, fleeing Jerusalem, Egypt or Missouri, getting out of debt, keeping the Sabbath day holy) circumnavigate  and point us to this one, all important message.
