Prophecies Fulfilled

April 10, 2016

Brian Kocourek, Pastor

 

22 Now, the Lord bless you. And now, before we turn over in the Bible... To pray for the sick... We ask this morning, how many was prayed for last Sunday night that had got healed, was healed already this week, and practically everybody here raised up their hand. That was at the meeting last Sunday night. Now, it's something... You understand. It's something that's... I'm catching this for myself.


23 There was a little boy, that was just told, come down from Chicago, a little Mrs. Peckenpaugh from... She was a very fine Christian sister. And she brought somebody, a kid, the way I understand it, a little boy or something, that the doctors didn't even know what was the matter with him. His lungs was so bad or something, that they couldn't put him in school or something. It was very, very bad. And said, the Holy Spirit right after the message, spoke to that little boy, and called him, told him his conditions and so forth, and pronounced his healing. And this week he went, the mother, or parents, or whoever it was, taken him back to the doctor; and the doctor said he had a new set of lungs (See?), new set of lungs. And the way I understand that parents or somebody called a long distance call or some way to let it be known to the congregation. See?


24 Now, God, the Creator, can make a set of lungs. I truly believe that we're on the verge of one of the most mightiest things that ever struck the earth since the days...?... See? But now, we can only be known as... It'll be so humble. See? See, what man calls mighty, God calls abomination. But what man calls foolish, God calls mighty. See? But now watch it (See?); it'll be so humble that you'll miss, that you'll miss it if you've not got the Token there to examine it. You see? See?


25 Who would ever thought that the mountains was skipping like little rams and the leaves were clapping their hands, when a prophet came forth from the wilderness, that was spoken by Isaiah 712 years before, with whiskers all over his face, and a piece of sheepskin, not even a pulpit to preach in, excommunicated from all the churches, and standing on the bank of the Jordan screaming, "Repent!" And called the people a bunch of vipers, snakes. But that's what God said, that when He come the mountains would skip like little rams. See? The humble saw it and was glad. How could they understand that great Messiah, that was prophesied from the very beginning of the Book, in Genesis, that He would come, a Saviour... All sacrifices, and all prophets, and everything had pointed to Him. And then, when He come, supposingly to be a illegitimate birth... A father that was not even married to His mother, supposingly... See? And the woman was found pregnant with the Baby before they was even married. And come up in such... And born in a--a little... Well, it says a stable in the Bible. But a stable in them days was a cave back in the--back in the wall. I met such a place out in Arizona one time hunting. There was a stable back under a cliff of rocks. And that's the way Jesus was born, back in this little cliff stable on a manger of hay and straw, in a cow barn (See?) where stock was.

This morning I would like to look at the statement brother Branham made in our reading where he said, All sacrifices, and all prophets, and everything had pointed to Him. It is this statement that tells us basically that God through the witness of His Word which we call the Bible, has been vindicated by God Himself through His supernatural ways to prove the authorship of the Bible is His and no other.

 

The Bible is the Word of God and we know so, not because men preach it as so, but because God has vindicated His word as His own for not only centuries, but for over 1,600 years. And in God's Word He placed over 2,500 prophecies which He did so that we might "prove all things, and hold fast to that which is good". 1 Thessalonians 5:21.

 

There have been over 2,000 of the 2,500 prophecies which have already come to pass in such detail that the odds are 1 to the  2,000 power. 

 

Christ revealed in His own Word 65-0822M P:38 Now, notice this Bible. Some of them said, "Oh, well, It's done this; It's done that." But let me tell you something; let's just go into the history of the Bible just a minute and see where It come from. It was written by forty different writers. Forty men wrote the Bible over a space of sixteen hundred years apart and at different times, predicting the most important events that ever happened in world's history, and many times hundreds of years before it happened. And there is not one error in the entire sixty-six Books. Oh, my. No author but God Himself could be so accurate. Not one word contradicts the other. Remember, sixteen hundred years apart, the Bible was wrote, from Moses to the death of John,  on the Isle of Patmos: sixteen hundred years. And was wrote by forty different authors. One didn't even know the other one, and they never had It as the Word. Some of them never even seen the Word. But when they wrote It, and was understood to be prophets, then when they put their prophecies together, each one of them dovetailed one to the other.

 

Listen to what brother Branham is telling us. The Bible was written over 1,600 years apart by some 40 writers who never knew each other and of which many had never read what the others wrote, and yet because there was only one author, this book is so accurate that it foretold very specific future events in such detail more than hundreds and sometimes more than a thousand years before those events took place.

 

And of the approximate 2,500 prophecies written in the Bible, there has been some 2,000 of those prophecies which have already been fulfilled. Not like the so called writings of Nostradamus, who spoke in allegories and mystical foggy language that men think these were predictions, but the Bible speaks in details that are so microscopic in detail, and the fulfillments of these prophecies are also so very detailed that the odds of this happening are so astronomic that we can say God interprets His own Word by bringing it to pass. And there is no error in the fulfillment.

 

There are about 500 prophecies which remain unfulfilled to date, perhaps less by now, because there is such a staggering amount of fulfillment taking place almost on a daily basis today. But as we have put together a study called the end-time scenes, and in it we are regularly recording Bible fulfillment as we did last week when we showed you that God said Damascus would one day be destroyed, and a pile of rubble, and we have seen the fulfillment of that in the news just lately.

Isaiah 27:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Syria,...

 

 

 

Since the probability for any one of these prophecies being fulfilled individually by chance is a very high number and since the prophecies are for the most part independent of one another, the odds for all these prophecies having been fulfilled by chance without error is less than one in 102000 (That is 10 to the 2,000 power)! In other words you would have to right 10 followed by 2,000   zeroes 0's. The odds of becoming a lightning victim any where throughout the world in your lifetime is 1 in 3,000. That is 1 in 3 followed by three zeroes. 

 

But the odds that these Bible prophecies will be fulfilled in such accuracy in 1 followed by 2,000 zeroes. It is staggering. Yet God in His supernatural way brings to pass His Word just as He said it.

 

And God gave us a way to test His prophets to make sure the Man was sent by God and not just someone claiming to be a prophet of God. In Deuteronomy 18:21-22 we read, 21  "And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 22  When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shall not be afraid of him."

 

According to this Scripture and other Scriptures such as Deuteronomy 13 and many others, God's prophets are 100 percent accurate in their predictions or they were not sent by Him.

 

There is no room for error with God. In fact when brother Vayle first met brother Branham he told brother Branham that he had a word of knowledge that was pretty accurate, and brother Branham asked him if it was 100%. He said no it is not, then brother Branham responded, "then leave it alone", and this he did.

We don't have enough time this morning to go into all the prophecies which have been fulfilled, because we could most likely take one sermon per prophecy and it would take us 2,000 sermons to do so. At the end of this sermon, I will post 353 prophecies that spoke of Jesus when he was here on earth. many were written more than a sixteen hundred years before his birth, and many others 700 years before etc.

Therefore, we will bring out just a few examples to show you  the high degree of accuracy, and also showing you the supernatural way in which each event that was prophesied was fulfilled.

I would like to use some information I found on the internet and give credit where credit is due. The author of the following material is Dr. Hugh Ross written in 2003 in an article called: Fulfilled Prophecy: Evidence for the Reliability of the Bible.  I will place all his material in italicized black font.

"(1) Some time before 500 BC, the prophet Daniel proclaimed that Israel's long-awaited Messiah would begin his public ministry 483 years after the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem (Daniel 9:25-26). He further predicted that the Messiah would be "cut off," killed, and that this event would take place prior to a second destruction of Jerusalem. Abundant documentation shows that these prophecies were perfectly fulfilled in the life (and crucifixion) of Jesus Christ. The decree regarding the restoration of Jerusalem was issued by Persia's King Artaxerxes to the Hebrew priest Ezra in 458 BC, 483 years later the ministry of Jesus Christ began in Galilee. (Remember that due to calendar changes, the date for the start of Christ's ministry is set by most historians at about AD 26. Also note that from 1 BC to AD 1 is just one year.) Jesus' crucifixion occurred only a few years later, and about four decades later, in AD 70 came the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus. (Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 105.)*


(2) In approximately 700 BC, the prophet Micah named the tiny village of Bethlehem as the birthplace of Israel's Messiah (Micah 5:2). The fulfillment of this prophecy in the birth of Christ is one of the most widely known and widely celebrated facts in history.

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 105.)


(3) In the fifth century BC, a prophet named Zechariah declared that the Messiah would be betrayed for the price of a slave—thirty pieces of silver, according to Jewish law-and also that this money would be used to buy a burial ground for Jerusalem's poor foreigners (Zechariah 11:12-13). Bible writers and secular historians both record thirty pieces of silver as the sum paid to Judas Iscariot for betraying Jesus, and they indicate that the money went to purchase a "potter's field," used—just as predicted—for the burial of poor aliens (Matthew 27:3-10).

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 1011.)


(4) Some 400 years before crucifixion was even invented, both Israel's King David and the prophet Zechariah described the Messiah's death in words that perfectly depict that mode of execution. Further, they said that the body would be pierced and that none of the bones would be broken, contrary to customary procedure in cases of crucifixion (Psalm 22 and 34:20; Zechariah 12:10). Again, historians and New Testament writers confirm the fulfillment: Jesus of Nazareth died on a Roman cross, and his extraordinarily quick death eliminated the need for the usual breaking of bones. A spear was thrust into his side to verify that he was, indeed, dead.

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 1013.)


(5) The prophet Isaiah foretold that a conqueror named Cyrus would destroy seemingly impregnable Babylon and subdue Egypt along with most of the rest of the known world. This same man, said Isaiah, would decide to let the Jewish exiles in his territory go free without any payment of ransom (Isaiah 44:28; 45:1; and 45:13). Isaiah made this prophecy 150 years before Cyrus was born, 180 years before Cyrus performed any of these feats (and he did, eventually, perform them all), and 80 years before the Jews were taken into exile.

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 1015.)


(6) Mighty Babylon, 196 miles square, was enclosed not only by a moat, but also by a double wall 330 feet high, each part 90 feet thick. It was said by unanimous popular opinion to be indestructible, yet two Bible prophets declared its doom. These prophets further claimed that the ruins would be avoided by travelers, that the city would never again be inhabited, and that its stones would not even be moved for use as building material (Isaiah 13:17-22 and Jeremiah 51:26, 43). Their description is, in fact, the well-documented history of the famous citadel.

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 109.)


(7) The exact location and construction sequence of Jerusalem's nine suburbs was predicted by Jeremiah about 2600 years ago. He referred to the time of this building project as "the last days," that is, the time period of Israel's second rebirth as a nation in the land of Palestine (Jeremiah 31:38-40). This rebirth became history in 1948, and the construction of the nine suburbs has gone forward precisely in the locations and in the sequence predicted.

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 1018.)


(8) The prophet Moses foretold (with some additions by Jeremiah and Jesus) that the ancient Jewish nation would be conquered twice and that the people would be carried off as slaves each time, first by the Babylonians (for a period of 70 years), and then by a fourth world kingdom (which we know as Rome). The second conqueror, Moses said, would take the Jews captive to Egypt in ships, selling them or giving them away as slaves to all parts of the world. Both of these predictions were fulfilled to the letter, the first in 607 BC and the second in AD 70. God's spokesmen said, further, that the Jews would remain scattered throughout the entire world for many generations, but without becoming assimilated by the peoples or of other nations, and that the Jews would one day return to the land of Palestine to re-establish for a second time their nation (Deuteronomy 29; Isaiah 11:11-13; Jeremiah 25:11; Hosea 3:4-5 and Luke 21:23-24).

This prophetic statement sweeps across 3,500 years of history to its complete fulfillment—in our lifetime.

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 1020.)


(9) Jeremiah predicted that despite its fertility and despite the accessibility of its water supply, the land of Edom (today a part of Jordan) would become a barren, uninhabited wasteland (Jeremiah 49:15-20; Ezekiel 25:12-14). His description accurately tells the history of that now bleak region.

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 105.)


(10) Joshua prophesied that Jericho would be rebuilt by one man. He also said that the man's eldest son would die when the reconstruction began and that his youngest son would die when the work reached completion (Joshua 6:26). About five centuries later this prophecy found its fulfillment in the life and family of a man named Hiel (1 Kings 16:33-34).

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 107).


(11) The day of Elijah's supernatural departure from Earth was predicted unanimously—and accurately, according to the eye-witness account—by a group of fifty prophets (2 Kings 2:3-11).

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 109).


(12) Jahaziel prophesied that King Jehoshaphat and a tiny band of men would defeat an enormous, well-equipped, well-trained army without even having to fight. Just as predicted, the King and his troops stood looking on as their foes were supernaturally destroyed to the last man (2 Chronicles 20).

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 108).


(13) One prophet of God (unnamed, but probably Shemiah) said that a future king of Judah, named Josiah, would take the bones of all the occultic priests (priests of the "high places") of Israel's King Jeroboam and burn them on Jeroboam's altar (1 Kings 13:2 and 2 Kings 23:15-18). This event occurred approximately 300 years after it was foretold.

(Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 1013).


Since these thirteen prophecies cover mostly separate and independent events, the probability of chance occurrence for all thirteen is about 1 in 10138 (138 equals the sum of all the exponents of 10 in the probability estimates above). For the sake of putting the figure into perspective, this probability can be compared to the statistical chance that the second law of thermodynamics will be reversed in a given situation (for example, that a gasoline engine will refrigerate itself during its combustion cycle or that heat will flow from a cold body to a hot body)—that chance = 1 in 1080. Stating it simply, based on these thirteen prophecies alone, the Bible record may be said to be vastly more reliable than the second law of thermodynamics. Each reader should feel free to make his own reasonable estimates of probability for the chance fulfillment of the prophecies cited here. In any case, the probabilities deduced still will be absurdly remote.

 

Given that the Bible proves so reliable a document, there is every reason to expect that the remaining 500 prophecies, those slated for the "time of the end," also will be fulfilled to the last letterWho can afford to ignore these coming events, much less miss out on the immeasurable blessings offered to anyone and everyone who submits to the control of the Bible's author, Jesus Christ? Would a reasonable person take lightly God's warning of judgment for those who reject what they know to be true about Jesus Christ and the Bible, or who reject Jesus' claim on their lives?

*The estimates of probability included herein come from a group of secular research scientists. As an example of their method of estimation, consider their calculations for this first prophecy cited:

A) Since the Messiah's ministry could conceivably begin in any one of about 5000 years, there is, then, one chance in about 5,000 that his ministry could begin in AD 26.

B) Since the Messiah is God in human form, the possibility of his being killed  is considerably low, say less than one chance in 10.

C) Relative to the second destruction of Jerusalem, this execution has roughly an even chance of occurring before or after that event, that is, one chance in 2.

Hence, the probability of chance fulfillment for this prophecy is 1 in 5,000 x 10 x 2, which is 1 in 100,000, or 1 in 105.

 

I have also posted on the next page a list of the 353 prophesies which were fulfilled in the life of Jesus Christ on earth. This I also found on the internet, and it saved me a life time of work in tracking these down. I have spent literally months doing the studies on the end time prophecies, so to research all 2,000 to date would take a lifetime to do. The website that posted these is http://www.accordingtothescriptures.org.

There are 353 Prophecies Fulfilled in Jesus Christ as the Bible declares...

 

"Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me" (Psalm 40:7). 

"The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" (Revelation 19:10). 

"...all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me" (Jesus Christ spoke this in Luke 24:44). 

"For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me." (Jesus Christ spoke this in John 5:46). 

"To Him give all the prophets witness" (Acts 10:43).
