  5. Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none like me. Isaiah 46:9  Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done…I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass. Isaiah 46:10-11 

  6. Seven reasons why we believe that Bible Prophecy is still relevant

  7. 1: Prophecy proves the Bible

  8. Jesus Christ Prophecy: I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and thou shalt bruise his heel.Genesis 3:15 He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquitiesIsaiah 53:5 Fulfilment: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs … and foreknowledge of God … have crucified and slain Acts 2:22-24

  10. Josiah Fulfilment (about 629 BC) Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, Josiah brake down and stamped it small to powder. And Josiah … took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar. 2 Kings 23:15-16

  11. 2: Builds our faith Prophecy: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. Isaiah 28:11-12 Confirmation of prophecy: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. Mark 16:17

  12. 2: Builds our faith Fulfilment: And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues. Acts 2:1-4 Confirmation of fulfilment: I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than you all. 1 Cor 14:18,21 

  13. 3: The foundation of Christianity Prophecy: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isa 7:14 For unto us a child is born … and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 But thou, Bethlehem, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth that is to be ruler in Israel. Micah 5:2

  14. 3: The foundation of Christianity Fulfilment: And Joseph also went … unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord Luke 2:4,7,11

  15. 4: An added tool for witnessing

  16. National promises Thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. Genesis 17:5-6

  17. National promises God brought him forth out of Egypt; he has as it were the strength of an unicorn He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Numbers 24:8-9
