Of course, many of these are trivial (the messiah will be a great prophet!) or have no evidence of actually being true - the completely contradictory accounts of Jesus' birth in Luke and Matthew shows us that these aren't based in truth; they're post-hoc fictions to make the figure of Jesus fit messianic prophecies after the fact.
Some of what you've listed doesn't even seem to be prophecies. I was intrigued by the 'hung up on a tree', so I looked up the reference. Here's Deuteronomy 21:22-23
22And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:23His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
It's from Deuteronomy - a book of laws. It's instructions about the proper way to deal with executed criminals. How is this a prophecy of anything?
