Fulfilled Prophecies |
|
A. THE NATURE OF THIS ARGUMENT... 1. The prophecies foretold |
|
events in detail that were beyond the scope of human speculation |
|
2. How did the writers or speakers do it? a. They attributed it |
|
to God! b. And God declared that such evidence was a proof of |
|
His existence and superiority over men and all heathen gods - |
|
Isaish 41:21-24; 42:8-9; 46:8-11 |
|
B. A FEW EXAMPLES... 1. The fall of Babylon, written two hundred |
|
years before it occurred- Isaish 13:17-22 2. The fall of Egypt, |
|
that it would be destroyed more by civil war than by outside |
|
forces - Isaish 19:1-4 3. The fall of Nineveh, with its utter |
|
desolation- Zeph. 2:13-15 4. The fall of Tyre, with its becoming |
|
a place for the spreading of nests - Ezekiel 26:1-5 5. There are |
|
prophecies concerning Christ- Luke 24:44-45 a. It has been |
|
stated there 332 prophecies fulfilled in Christ - Henry Liddon |
|
b. The mathematical probability that all could be fulfilled in |
|
one person by chance alone has been calculated as one in 84 |
|
times ten to the 123rd power (84 followed by 123 zeroes) -- Cf. |
|
Intro To Christian Evidences, Jenkins, pp. 87-107 6. Prophecies |
|
by Christ, such as the destruction of Jerusalem a. Foretold in |
|
Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 b. Fulfilled in A.D. 70, when Rome |
|
destroyed Jerusalem |
