Conclusion
This is just a short list of the many prophecies about the one we call Jesus Christ. There are about 300 prophecies concerning his first coming. There are about 500 concerning his second coming. All these prophecies were done hundreds of years, some more than a 1000 years before Christ was seen by man in flesh. One reason there are so many is that God leaves no room for excuses. What are the odds of anyone completing all 300 prophecies in their lifetime? It is a mathematical impossibility.
Every single prophecy regarding the 1st coming was fulfilled. If all prophecies on the first coming were fulfilled, then what does that say about the 500 regarding the 2nd coming? My question for you is where are you at with your walk with God? How about your relationship with God? Are you walking or are you just watching? Are you Reading? Praying? Obeying? Is God 1st in your life or has he taken a back seat? Are letting him guide you? Or are you leading the way? I ask this because it is not “if ” Jesus will come back, but “when” Jesus will come back. Are you ready? How about every single person you know and care about? Are they ready? There are only two destinations. Will you allow God to use you to bring everyone you know to Him? Do you want your family and friends saved?
