I pulled this out because it has 3 concise statements and one is empirical..

The messiah had come...unverifiable to the skeptic.
raised by God...unverifiable to a skeptic

had been hung on a tree as prophesized...Exactly where in ancient biblical writings, predating Christ, does it say exactly this about a coming messiah?
A Roman crucifix is not a tree. It was a state instrument used for killing in a purposefully drawn out agonizing way, but wooden for sure...so tree will ring the bell.

Book, verse , passage...please. And any other EXACT passages concerning pinpointing Christ not yet arrived, would be enthusiastically appreciated.

Thank you.
