Buddha apparently prophesied about Jesus

Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) was born on the edge of the Persian empire, in northeast India in 563 B.C. In 534 B.C.

At the age of 29, he left the protection of his father's castle to explore the world and seek truth. 

In 531 B.C. Siddhartha Gautama, Buddha, began his own ministry. Buddha always claimed to be a mere man and recognized that sin offered a significant problem for himself and other mortalmen.

Near his death in Buddha (The Enlightened One) told his followers, "Regardless of how many laws you have kept, or even if you pray 5 times a day, you cannot be free from your sin. Even though you burn yourself, even though I become a hermit, or am reborn another 10 times, I also shall not be saved."

Buddha taught that he was not a god, but only a man, a truth seeker. But on his death bed Buddha taught that there would be a future Messiah, Lord of Mercies, who would be able to free men of their sins. He said, "...He is the Lord of Mercies. His name shall be called the King of kings, the Lord of lords. He is all knowing, all wise. He knows all that is in the human heart. He is Lord of all the angels and of all humans. No one is greater than He."

Buddha continued to teach of the Lord of Mercies, that "...His side has a wound where he was pierced, and his forehead has many scars. He will carry you to heaven where you will find the triune God. Thus give up following the old way. A spirit from heaven will come and dwell in your heart." 

Jesus later fulfilled all of these prophesies. The awesomeness of the revealed Christ should call all peoples to submit to his rule. He is the only one under heaven through whom we can be saved.
