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, one of God’s prophets, Zechariah prophecies in Zechariah 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 completely unknown and centuries in the future.  So, how did Zechariah and King David know about death by crucifixion?  Well, actually, they didn’t … God did.  And God told Zechariah and King David exactly what to write because God knew the future.  And centuries later it came to pass.  Hey, only the true God knows the future!  So, what does your future look like?  This Easter would be a good time for you to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior.  You can join God’s forever family and spend eternity in heaven with Him!  The choice is up to you.
