Prophecy Actually Fulfilled

Hundreds of predictive prophecies in the Law, the Prophets and the Gospel of Jesus Christ – actually fulfilled in the flow of history and, during the writing of the Scriptures themselves, over 1500 years of human history – proclaim the clear hand of GOD in the biblical narrative. No single human being or any organization was responsible for the writing of the manuscripts of Scripture or the message of the Scriptures. Israel and the Church were used by GOD to compile and preserve the Scriptures.

Individuals were moved by GOD to dedicate their lives to writing, copying and preserving thousands of manuscripts in spite of countless attempts to destroy the writings in the course of human history. The Bible in our hands is in itself a miracle.

Untold thousands have given their lives for the preservation and communication of the Scriptures. The Scriptures stand as the exclusive narrative of GOD’s Testimony of love to mankind. It also stands as a warning that GOD will ultimately destroy evil in all of its forms.

Today, Biblical prophecy is continuing to speak of events unfolding in our time. The signs of our times, described generically, as the period of the last days, are dramatically described in the pages of Scripture in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Jesus Christ himself emphasized and clarified what the Old Testament prophets had written. Jesus, in describing the events in history that would unfold the time of the great tribulation, prophesied by the prophet Daniel (circa 550 BC), declared that His second coming to earth would come about only after the events of the great tribulation [Matthew 24:29-31; Mark 13:24-27]. The great tribulation is described in detail in the book of Revelation.

We are presently in the last days of this age.
