Prophecies

The Old Testament is not just history. It is FULL of prophecy and promise of a Saviour. Many of the prophets foretold the coming of the Saviour, and in some cases His Second coming was also foretold. Our God is a just God. He punishes wrongdoing. God is also a Merciful God. He shows mercy on all those who call to Him for mercy and accept Christ as their Saviour. Read and see and believe.

Is.7:14 Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel. Matt.1:22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."

Micah 5:2 "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose oiripgins are from of old, from ancietn times. Matt.2:6 "But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel."

Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my Son." Matt.2:15 And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my Son."

Jer.31:15 This is what the Lord says: "A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because her children are no more." Matt.2:18 A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more."

Mal.3:1 "See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me" Is.40:3 A voice of one calling: "In the desert prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. Mark 1:2,3 It is written in Isaiah the prophet: "I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way"--"a voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'"

Is.7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel. Is.9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Luke 1:31,32 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.

Why does God tell us all of this before it happens?
John 13:19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am He.
John 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
