Bible End Times Prophecy – Week 51 (Continued)
God himself proclaimed the first recorded prophecy in the Bible
in the Book of Genesis, and it heralded his plan of redemption for humanity.
The message about the promised Messiah who was to save the world appears in Isaiah and in Matthew. There are more Bible prophecies about the Messiah, however, these are some examples.
Genesis 3:15 – “I will put hostility between you and
the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your
head, and you will strike his heel.”
Isaiah 7:14 – “Therefore, the Lord himself will give you
a sign: See, the virgin will conceive, have a son, and name him Immanuel.”
Matthew 1:22-23 – “Now all this took place to fulfill what
was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: 23 See,
the virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him
Immanuel, which is translated “God is with us.”
Prophecies in the Bible prove that Jesus Christ is the
Messiah, and they prove that the Bible is a true and a trustworthy text. The Bible
contains important prophecies with at least three significant messages: Messiah
will redeem humanity (God’s rescue plan), Messiah has come, and he is Jesus
Christ, and Messiah Jesus is coming back.
Jesus Christ is the central figure of the Bible. If we
maintain this view, we should not become easily confused or detoured by conflicting
messages. Everything in the Bible points to the Lord.
