Prophesies concerning Jesus were given many years before He walked the earth. No man can predict the future exactly the way it happened.
There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that God exists, and that Jesus is the Messiah.
LET'S GO TO THE WORD.
THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the LORD Himself shall give you a sign ; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (God with us, in the Hebrew).
THE PROPHECY OF CHRIST'S BIRTH WAS WRITTEN 650 YEARS BEFORE THE FACT.
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS : for He shall save His People from their sins.
THIS IS WHEN THE ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED TO JOSEPH IN A DREAM, TELLING HIM TO GO AHEAD AND MARRY MARY, BECAUSE THIS CONCEPTION WAS FROM GOD.
1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the LORD by the prophet, saying,
1:23 "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
GOD ALWAYS FORTELLS THINGS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN.
Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth ; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him.
AMONG THEIR BRETHREN = CHRIST CAME FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH (THE KINGLINE), AND THE TRIBE OF LEVI (THE PRIESTLINE).
HIS GENEALOGY IS IN LUKE 3, NOT MATTHEW 1 ; IN MATTHEW 1, IS JOSEPH'S GENEALOGY (JOSEPH WAS CHRIST'S STEP-DAD, NOT HIS FATHER), NOT CHRIST'S.
MAKE A NOTE OF GENESIS 49:10, LUKE 3:23, 33.
PROPHESY CONCERNING THE PLACE OF HIS BIRTH.
Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me That is to be ruler in Israel ; Whose goings forth have been from of old (ancient), from everlasting.
BETHLEHEM EPHRATAH IS THE FULL NAME OF THE TOWN CHRIST WAS BORN.
Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem (house of bread in the Hebrew) of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.
THERE WERE FOUR HERODS IN THE BIBLE.
2:2 Saying, "Where is He That is born King of the Jews ? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him."
2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
HE THOUGHT JESUS CAME TO TAKE OVER HIS KINGDOM.
2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the People together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND SCRIBES (SCRIPTURE LAWYERS) WERE KENITES (SATAN'S OFFSPRING), NOT TRUE JEWS (THEY CLAIMED TO BE JEWS BECAUSE THEY LIVED IN THAT AREA).
2:5 And they said unto him, "In Bethlehem of Judea : for thus it is written by the prophet.
THE PLACE OF CHRIST'S BIRTH WAS WRITTEN BY THE PROPHET MICAH.
2:6 'And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda : for out of thee shall come a Governor, That shall rule My People Israel.' "
PROPHESIED IN MICAH 5:2.
TEACHING IN PARABLES WAS PROPHESIED IN PSALMS 78:1-3.
Psalms 78:1 Give ear, O my People, to my law : Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable : I will utter dark sayings of old :
78:3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.
Matthew 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables ; and without a parable spake He not unto them :
13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables ; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."
PROPHESIED BY DAVID IN PSALMS 78.
THE WAY OF THE LORD PROCEEDED BY A MESSENGER (John the Baptist).
Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, "Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
THIS PROPHESY CONCERNING JOHN THE BAPTIST PREPARING THE WAY OF THE LORD, WAS WRITTEN 600 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST.
Malachi 3:1 "Behold, I will send My messenger (John the Baptist), and he shall prepare the way before Me : and the Lord, Whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in : behold, He shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
Matthew 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
3:2 And saying, "Repent ye : for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias (Isaiah), saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make His paths straight.' "
PROPHESY ABOUT CHRIST ENTERING JERUSALEM ON A COLT.
Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion ; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem : behold, thy King cometh unto thee : He is just, and having salvation ; lowly (humble), and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Luke 19:35 And they brought him to Jesus : and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
FULFILLING PROPHESY.
19:36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
19:37 And when He was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen ;
19:38 Saying, "Blessed be the King That cometh in the name of the LORD : peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
QUOTED PSALMS 118:26.
PROPHESY ABOUT CHRIST'S BETRAYAL FOR 30 PIECES OF SILVER.
Zechariah 11:12 And I said unto them, "If ye think good, give me my price ; and if not, forbear." So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
11:13 And the LORD said unto me, "Cast it unto the potter : a goodly price that I was priced at of them." And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
HE WAS BETRAYED FOR 30 PIECES OF SILVER.
MONEY WAS THROWN IN THE TEMPLE AND USED TO BUY THE POTTER'S FIELD (IT WAS PURCHASED FOR BURIAL).
Matthew 26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
26:15 And said unto them, "What will ye give me, and I will believe Him unto you ?" And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
THIS WAS ARRANGED MANY YEARS BEFORE.
27:3 Then Judas, which had betrayed Him, when he saw that He was condemned, repented Himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
27:4 Saying, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us ? see thou to that."
27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the Temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
HE WAS ACTUALLY MURDERED ; HE WAS CUT OPENED, AND HIS BOWELS GUSHED OUT (ACTS 1:16-18). THE KENITE PRIESTS WERE AFRAID HE WOULD REVEAL THE TRUTH TO THE PEOPLE.
JUDAS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS MAN TO THE CHIEF PRIESTS, BECAUSE HE REPENTED. THEREFORE, THEY HAD TO SILENCE HIM.
27:6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, "It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury (it was against the law), because it is the price of blood."
27:7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
27:8 Wherefore that field was called, "The field of blood", unto this day.
27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy (Jeremiah) the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, (the price of Him That was valued, Whom they of the children of Israel did value) ;
NOT WRITTEN BY JEREMIAH, BUT SPOKEN BY HIM.
IT WAS WRITTEN BY ZECHARIAH 11:12.
27:10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me."
CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION WAS PROPHESIED ONE THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE THE FACT.
Psalms 22:1 My GOD, my GOD, why hast thou forsaken me ? Why art Thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring (sad song) ?
THESE WERE CHRIST'S WORDS ON THE CROSS (Matthew 27:46).
CHRIST ALWAYS CALLED GOD FATHER.
WHY DID HE SAY THESE WORDS ? BECAUSE, HE WANTED YOU TO GO TO PSALMS 22, TO WITNESS TO YOU THAT HE IS THE MESSIAH. HE WAS ALSO WITNESSING TO THE MALEFACTOR (HE WAS ALSO CRUCIFIED) ; THE MALEFACTOR LISTENED AND BELIEVED.
HE WAS STILL TEACHING, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS.
22:2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but Thou hearest not ; And in the night season, and am not silent (get no rest).
22:3 But Thou art holy, O Thou That inhabitest the praises of Israel (received the word of praise).
22:4 Our fathers trusted in Thee : They trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.
22:5 They cried unto Thee, and were delivered : They trusted in Thee, and were not confounded (they were not let down).
22:6 But I am a worm, and no man ; A reproach of men, and despised of the People.
A WORM = NOT THE ORDINARY WORD FOR "WORM", BUT THE CRIMSON COCCUS FROM WHICH THE SCARLET DYE WAS OBTAINED. CHRIST THUS TOOK THE LOWEST PLACE OF HIS PEOPLE.
DESPISED = PROPHESIED IN ISAIAH 53:3.
22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn : They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
THEY WERE MOCKING HIM.
22:8 "He trusted on the LORD that He would deliver Him : Let Him deliver him, seeing He delighted in him."
THESE ARE THE WORDS THAT CAME OUT OF THE CHIEF PRIESTS' MOUTH ; PROPHESIED ONE THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE THE FACT.
Matthew 27:43 He trusted in God ; let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him : for He said, 'I am the Son of God.
BACK TO PSALMS 22.
Psalms 22:9 But Thou art he That took me out of the womb : Thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
22:10 I was cast upon Thee from the womb : Thou art my GOD from my mother's belly.
GOD WATCHED OVER HIM THROUGH JOSEPH (HIS STEP-DAD).
22:11 Be not far from me ; for trouble is near ; For there is none to help.
HE WAS ALONE IN THIS WONDROUS WORK (Psalms 69:20).
22:12 Many bulls have compassed me : Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
22:13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, As ravening and a roaring lion.
THEY TALKED AGAINST ME.
22:14 I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint : My heart is like wax ; It is melted in the midst of my bowels.
HIS BONES WERE OUT OF JOINT BECAUSE OF THE OUTSTRETCHED ARMS.
22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd ; And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws ; And Thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
22:16 For dogs (enemies) have compassed me : The assembly of the wicked have enclosed me : They pierced my hands and my feet.
HE WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS.
22:17 I may tell all my bones : They look and stare upon me.
22:18 They part my garments among them, And cast lots upon my vesture.
THE ROMAN SOLDIERS CASTING LOTS UPON HIS CLOTHING.
QUOTED IN MATTHEW 27:35, MARK 15:24, LUKE 23:34, JOHN 19:24.
THEY GAVE ME VINEGAR TO DRINK.
Psalms 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat ; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
GALL = DOPE.
VINEGAR = POOR MAN'S WINE.
Matthew 27:34 They gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall : and when He had tasted thereof, He would not drink.
NOTE: No man can see the future ; God throughout His Word, proves to you that He exists. If people took the time to read His word with understanding, there will be no doubt in anyone's mind that He is real.
GOD BLESS
