Prophecy


Nearly 75 percent of the population belongs to one of five main religions in the world: Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Christianity.  But of all of the holy books of the world religions, only Judaism and Christianity contain prophecy.  That’s because not everyone can predict the future.  Only God can do that.  More than 500 years before Christ, Zechariah prophecies in 12:10 “…and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.”  More than 1,000 years before Christ, King David prophecies in Psalm 22:16 “… the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.”  When Zechariah and King David lived, execution was done by stoning, not by crucifixion.  The Romans and Crucifixion were centuries away.  How did Zechariah and King David know that?  Well, actually, they didn’t - but God did.  And God told Zechariah and King David what to write and centuries later it came to pass.  So, what does your future look like?  Are you going to spend eternity in heaven with God?  The choice is up to you.
