Answer 1

Hello,

Do you really think that the early disciples of Jesus were so stupid as to take their Master's teachings on face-value? They were Hebrews, instructed in the law, prophets etc. They knew that Jesus was telling truths in harmony with the sacred inspired writings (Mat. 4:4, Rom. 15:4; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17). Many of the people 'were in expectation of him' (the Messiah) at that time, why? Because Daniel was given sufficient information for anyone to calculate the time period of his arrival. By the time Jesus was killed, he had fulfilled over 300 prophecies about himself, some of which he had no control over. One was the place of his birth (Micah 5:2), another the method of his betrayal, execution and resurrection. All witnessed by up to 500 reliable witnesses. Would you like to inform yourself, and question these men? Then read/study the account in the Gospels. These individuals were honest, trustworthy men who would rather die than tell a single lie!

Apart from this, have a look at Mat. 24:14 where Jesus said, in part, that 'this good news of the kingdom will be preached FOR A WITNESS' to all the nations, and then THE END will come'.

Jehovah's (Christian) Witnesses are doing this work willingly, having spent over 1.5 BILLION hours last year in this preaching and teaching, without charge. Are you listening, before it is too late?

Kind regards, Günter

Matthew 24:2, Mark 13:2, Luke 21:6 In those passages Jesus states that the temple would be destroyed, and not one stone would be left on yet another. Jesephus, "Jewish Wars", Bk VII, Ch.a million describes the finished destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. under Emperor Vespasian. In 132 advert, Emperor Hadrian attacked Jerusalem lower back so as to place down a insurrection, and dug the temple up from its foundations. So there you have the prophecy of Christ, and the historic supplies proving the way it got here to pass, and not shown to have handed off "in a while interior the Bible" as you asked. God bless you.

Answer 3

2Pe 3:3-4 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming?



It makes no difference to you, does it, that fulfilled prophecy is one of the greatest evidences for the veracity of both the Bible and Jesus Christ? The fact that there's hundreds and hundreds of fulfilled prophecies in the Bible is wasted on you, because you'll never see any of it as evidence, you've always got a reason why it's not true.



The simple fact is, you have no willingness to examine these prophecies, because if you did, you would find you are confronted with the existence of the God who is behind them all, and that would take you away from what you want to do with your life. Yes, you prefer to 'walk after your own lusts' rather than give a proper examination of these things, to see if they are really true. It is not expedient for you to find any credibility in these prophecies, is it, because that would affect your own life and your own self-assumed right to do what you wish.



Here, I have another prophecy for you, which fits very, very well, the attitude of so many Christ-rejectors of these days:



Ps 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

Ps 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

Ps 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.



See what the word says - it's a 'vain thing'? They are wasting their time, and their lives, because God will win in the end, and they will have all eternity to repent of it.



But, they reject the Lord, not because they can't believe, not because the truth is hard to see, but because they aren't prepared to give up anything of their own ways and their own pleasures as a consequence. That is why they say he doesn't exist, and that Jesus never existed, because they don't like the idea of having any responsibility towards him.

Answer 4

I like the one about Cyrus defeating Babylon by diverting the river and finding the city gates open. Lets see. I think that was given about 200 years before the fact. Certainly before Cyrus was born.



I also like the one at Matthew 24:14.

Answer 5

Have you ever heard of Christmas? At the time the Babylonian philosopher/astrologers were so convinved that the very specific Bible prophesy would be born in Bethlehem was true that they came all the way, following the star. Work down from that...

Answer 6

When Christ as Lord Maitreya Buddha came to London he flew by aeroplane from Pakistan in 1977AD, therby fufilling an ancient prophesy of Coming in the clouds etc. Amen.

Answer 7

No prophecy was ever "fulfilled"...they suffer the "sharpshooter's fallacy"...they shoot at the side of a barn, then draw the target around the bullet hole after the shot and claim they hit a bull's eye...

Answer 8

antichrist is pale with red eyes and wears gloves just like jigsaw from saw movie. but antichrist makes fire come down from the sky and moves at the speed of light 'cause demons (who appear as angels of light) carry him. mark of the beast is similar to the in time movie tattoo. when people stretch hands to receive small grey world passport, this 666 tattoo is given by lasers. chips and electronic tattoos are ways to track people to laser them. food stores will be set up to laser people. police will laser people on highways. those who go to be healed in ufo ships by demons will become spiritual zombies.

Answer 9

The "prophets" used the "shotgun" approach to prophesy. The were bound to hit something!

Answer 10

Not one.
