Remember
the former age, for I am God, and there is no God beside, neither is
there like to Me: Who shew [show] from the beginning the things that
shall be at last, and from ancient times the things that are yet not
done, saying: My counsel shall stand, and all MY will shall be done:
Isaiah 46:9,10
Prophecy is telling the future before it happens. Did
you know 1/3 of the Bible is prophetic with over 300 prophecies
regarding the Jewish Messiah? Jesus fulfilled 356 Old Testament
prophecies in His lifetime on earth.
It is sad that only about 2% of churches today teach
biblical prophecy. Prophecy was so important to Jesus He took time
to explain to His curious disciples things that were to come (Matthew
24-25, Luke 21). When He prophesied He said, “I have told you in
advance that you may believe when it shall come to pass (Matthew
24:25, John 14:29). The hundreds of prophecies fulfilled by Yeshua
(Jesus) corroborate Him to be the Jewish Messiah of Israel.
God has told us in advance so we have hope in Him. If
He didn't want us to know He wouldn't have told us, so shouldn't we
want to investigate these words of the LORD? We don't need fortune
tellers, mediums, spiritualists, or psychics to do that. Those
practices are an abomination to the LORD for they are counterfeited
by Satan and will never be as 100% accurate as His Jewish prophets.
All prophecies are God-breathed (2nd Timothy
3:16, 2nd Peter 1:21). He reveals the beginning and the
end with total accuracy, so we will know when it comes to pass. His
promises are spoken beforehand and are as sure as the sunrise. Take
hope in that, Beloved. It sounds too amazing to be true. But there it
is.
