Hundreds Of Fulfilled Prophecies…

The one thing the Bible has that no other book possesses is hundreds of fulfilled prophecies. You can read throughout both New and Old Testament and see how things written about beforehand, took place after it was written. That’s how God sets Himself apart from all other false gods. Here in Isaiah 44 we read about God predicting Cyrus commanding Jerusalem to be rebuilt. Cyrus wasn’t even a twinkle in his grandpa’s eye yet, he didn’t even exist at this time. The Persian empire wasn’t even in power yet. When People say there is no God, or command you to prove His existence, don’t even bother to pursue the conversation. Chances are those people wouldn’t believe you when you tell them about all the fulfilled prophecies in scripture, because they don’t want to believe (for that would make them have to be accountable). God is multi-faceted. So much so we can’t fully comprehend Him. He’s revealed enough about Himself to leave us without excuse for not trying to know Him. And His fulfilled prophecies are a sure-fire way to know He’s real and in control.

24 This is what the Lord says–your Redeemer and Creator:“I am the Lord, who made all things.I alone stretched out the heavens.Who was with Me when I made the earth?25 I expose the false prophets as liars and make fools of fortune-tellers.I cause the wise to give bad advice, thus proving them to be fools.26 But I carry out the predictions of My prophets! By them I say to Jerusalem, ‘People will live here again,’and to the towns of Judah, ‘You will be rebuilt;I will restore all your ruins!’27 When I speak to the rivers and say, ‘Dry up!’they will be dry.28 When I say of Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd,’he will certainly do as I say.He will command, ‘Rebuild Jerusalem’;he will say, ‘Restore the Temple.’ ” Isaiah 44:24-28
