Foretold – Part 3

Impossibility = All religions are true  

The coming of Jesus was accurately prophesied hundreds of years before he was born. 

“Before man reaches the moon, your mail will be delivered within hours from New York to Australia by guided missiles. We stand on the threshold of rocket mail.” —Arthur Summerfield, U.S. Postmaster General under Eisenhower, 1959 

It is difficult to make predictions of any kind let alone, one person’s life hundreds of years in the future  

The Old Testament clearly prophecies about Jesus hundreds of years before he is born  

There will be a person who will crush evil will be Jewish and every nation blessed by him. He will be a descendant of King David and be born in Bethlehem. He will be born of a virgin and be seen as God-with-us. This person will be silent at his trial, cursed through dying by crucifixion, be buried in a rich man’s tomb then rise again  

Isaiah 9: 6, 7 child will be born to us. A son will be given to us. He will rule over us. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor and Mighty God. He will also be called Eternal Father, and Prince Who Brings Peace. The authority of his rule will continue to grow. The peace he brings will never end. He will rule on David’s throne and over his kingdom.  

Ps. 22:1, 14-18 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me. My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet. All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment. 

Matthew 27:35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. 

Pontius Pilate “And after he was crucified they cast lots upon his vesture, and they that crucified Him parted it among them.” 

There will be a person who will crush evil will be Jewish and every nation blessed by him. He will be a descendant of King David and be born in Bethlehem. He will be born of a virgin and be seen as God-with-us. This person will be silent at his trial, cursed through dying by crucifixion. His clothes will be gambled over and eventually he will be buried in a rich man’s tomb then rise again  

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 

Jesus is our only King  

Jesus is our only God
