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
Too Amazing to be
True
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? He tells us in advance not to scare us, but prepare us that we might know His works.
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. the Sure Word of God.
