One example is Emmanuel,
the focal point
of history. Many Old
Testament prophecies point to this and can easily be verified. The
fact that He lived, died and rose from the
dead to become our
Lord and brother is incredible!
He brought the key to being
saved:.1Corinthians
1:21.
Paul
talks of this in:.1Corinthians
15:1-8 "Moreover brethren, I declare unto you the
gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received and
wherein you stand,
by which also you are saved.(saved
from
what?),
if
you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you believed
in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins.according
to the scriptures and that He rose again on the third day according
to the scriptures and that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve and
after that He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once...and after
that He was seen of James, then all of the apostles and last of all, He
was seen of me also..."
2Timothy
3:16 "All scripture given by inspiration of God is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof.(original
Greek is 'to prove'), for correction,
for instruction in righteousness."
2Peter
1:20 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any
private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will
of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost."
John
10:35 ".....the scripture.(original
Greek is 'writing'; re word 'scripture' from Barne's
Notes: the word 'scripture' is used to denote
either the book itself or its contents; can also mean a certain portion
or section of Holy
Scripture).cannot
be broken."
There are many online studies
on prophecies proving the Bible was inspired by this
Great Infinite ever living being.
Typing 'prophecy' or 'fulfilled
prophecy'
in a search engine like GoodGopher.com, Bing or Google will help you. The
chances that all these and so many more specific prophecies could have
been fulfilled by 'happenstance'
is ludicrous.
Written over 1600 years by
forty authors using three languages.(Hebrew,
Aramaic {Old
Testament} and Greek {New
Testament}).comprising
hundreds of subjects, each perfectly integrated,
consistent and non contradictory throughout.(once
one overstands
it with the original words),
the
Bible
has one overall theme, that of, God loves you and will, is or has redeemed
you and made His universal laws of life known and comprehendible
for those who are seeking answers:.Matthew
7:7-11 "Ask and it is be given you. Seek and you find. Knock and it
is opened unto you. For every one that asks receives and he that seeks
finds and to him that knocks it is opened. Or what man is there of you,
whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish,
will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much more will your Father which is in heaven
give good things to them that ask him?"
