In these days of uncertainty, many people are seeking to know what the future will bring. Many are dipping into such books as Nostradamus and The Celestine Prophecies for their answers, and yet there is only one ancient book that has a track record of 100% accuracy – the Bible.In this amazing book there are over 8,000 predictions, many of which have already been fulfilled. Some are being fulfilled today, and some will be fulfilled in the near future.
Hundreds of these prophecies concern the appearance of the Messiah, the Divine Saviour of the world. Here are a few of these prophecies that speak of His First Coming:
Before Jesus the Messiah returns to judge the world, a number of things must occur:
The Jewish people, who have been scattered throughout the world since AD70, will return to Israel and their nation will be born in a day, (Ezekiel 36; Isaiah 66:7-9).
This took place in 1948 when the UN voted that the Jewish people return home and be a nation.
The nations which once practiced a Christian belief will turn away from it and follow a Pagan belief instead (2 Thessalonians 2).
This is happening today as the West turns to New Age practice. Famines, plagues, environmental disasters and catastrophes will occur with greater frequency as the Messiah’s return draws near (Luke 21).
Scientists have been noting this trend. As the Christian message goes to the world, there will be a terrible persecution against the True Church (Jesus real followers) (Matthew 24).
With the rise of modern technology, the message of Jesus is spreading rapidly across the world. At the same time more people are being killed for Him than since the first centuries of the Church.
Many people will rise up and claim to be G-d or Christ and will lead multitudes into error. This movement will be accompanied by psychic activity (Matthew 24).
This is happening now in the New Age Movement:
Israel will be hated by the world and will be surrounded and invaded by an alliance from the Middle East, North Africa and Asia, which will lead to a world war. The Jewish Nation will realise that Jesus is the Messiah. G-d will supernaturally rescue the Jewish people (Ezekiel 38&39; Zechariah 12).
The United Nations will produce a very popular global leader who will bring a superficial peace, but he is the Antichrist, Satan’s President. The world will become a police state (2 Thessalonians 2; Revelation 13).
Jesus the Messiah will return in person to judge the world, because He is the Eternal Son of G-d and the only Saviour for humanity (2 Thessalonians 2; 1 Thessalonians 4; 5).
Hundreds of these prophecies concern the appearance of the Messiah, the Divine Saviour of the world. Here are a few of these prophecies that speak of His First Coming:
- He would be born of a virgin in Bethlehem (Isaiah 7:14; Micah 5:2)
- He would be of the line of King David (Jeremiah 23:5)
- He would be the Son of G-d, (G-d Incarnate)(Psalm 27 2:7; Isaiah 9:6)
- He would be betrayed by a close friend for 30 pieces of silver (Psalm 41:9; Zechariah 11:12)
- He would be rejected by the Jewish nation (Isaiah 53)
- He would die by crucifixion (Psalm 22:16; Zechariah 12:10)
- At this time, people would divide His garments and cast lots for his clothing. He would be offered gall and vinegar and He would be flogged, mocked, humiliated and abused (Psalm 22:18; Psalm 69:21; Isaiah 53:5; Psalm22:7-8; Isaiah 50:6)
- At this time darkness would be at midday and there would be an earthquake in Israel (Amos 8:7-10)
- After death He would rise again and return to heaven (Psalm 16:10; Daniel 7:13-14)
