1 Cor. 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Messianic Prophecies Fulfilled by Jesus – Day 32

Prophecy of Messiah:

Psalm 16:10  For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Good morning, reader! Are you enjoying this series? Is it strengthening your spiritual foundation? I hope and pray it is! It definitely has added to my arsenal of Scriptures about Christ fulfilling all prophecies about His first and His fulfilling upcoming prophecies of His second coming!

Today’s verse is the same as the previous post because it is fulfilled in multiple ways. Let’s take a look. If you recall on the last post, I stated that if Christ had not risen from the dead our faith would be pointless – it would be in vain.

Prophecy of Messiah Fulfilled:

John 20:9  For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

Luke 24:6  He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

This is the crux of the entire Christian faith, amen? You may doubt that any of this happened, but that is the whole point of this series. It is my desire to help you to see that there were many witnesses who saw Jesus after His crucifixion (1 Corinthians 15:4-9). In a court of law today, two witnesses are usually enough to confirm a crime has been committed. It was required back in Christ’s time as well. Not only does the Bible speak of these witnesses, but there were historians who spoke and wrote about it. According to Wikipedia, the Apostle John lived until 100 AD. In that time, John’s disciples, Ignatius (35-117 AD) and Polycarp (69-155 AD), were hearing first hand from someone who had actually been with Jesus every day in Christ’s last three years. To top it off, they witnessed His resurrection. These two taught Iranaeus (120-202 AD) and he wrote about Polycarp’s conversations with John regarding Jesus’ bodily resurrection. In turn, Iranaeus told Hippolytus (170-236 AD). It is historians such as these that passed along the accounts until the Scriptures were put together for all of us to have the blessed opportunity to read! It is exactly the same as your family members passing down stories from their parents, who got it from their parents, and they got it from their parents! And on it goes. How can a person take these family stories as positive truth and not take the historians’ accounts of Christ? Christ’s history had well over 500 witnesses; your stories from your family may have 20 at best!

Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we would be lost. But the Good News is that He did rise again and all who believe in Him will be saved (Acts 16:31). Do you know Him personally or do you only know of Him? I was raised as a Catholic and I knew of Jesus Christ, but I did not know Him personally. Once the light of the Gospel was shed on my heart, I immediately went from knowing about Him to knowing Him personally. I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.

Messianic Prophecies Fulfilled by Jesus – Day 31

Prophecy of Messiah:

Psalm 16:10  For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Good morning, dear Reader! The sunrise is beautiful and the peace and quiet in the house is so welcomed. I realize this has nothing to do with today’s topic but it’s good to remember the days when I was raising my children. It was difficult trying to find a peaceful moment where I could spend time with the Lord. As soon as the light from where I did my devotions gave its glow from the bottom of the kids’ bedroom doors, they would be up! 😂 And when I kept my time with Him after they went to bed, I would fall asleep while reading. Just as there are different phases to our lives, there are different phases to our spiritual lives as well. Some do their devotions outside where they can experience nature all around them. The Lord Jesus created all these things for mankind to enjoy and it is no wonder that we can find Him through His creation! (John 1:10) What phase are you in right now, Reader?

Let’s get back on track, LOL! Today’s prophecy reveals to us that after Jesus’ death on the cross, He went to Abraham’s bosom to show those who died in their faith that He was their long-awaited Messiah (Luke 16:22). Jesus’ body did not decay as all those people who died before Him. David wrote about this in today’s Psalm 16:10.

Prophecy of Messiah Fulfilled:

Act 2:31  He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

Now we see in Acts 2:31, that Peter spoke of David’s prophecy and showed all who were listening how Jesus fulfilled it. This may not excite some readers but it is surely the very foundation of all born-again believers. If Christ had not risen from the dead, our faith would be for nothing! Jesus would be just another prophet and people would still be trying to get to Heaven by trying to live by the Law (Galatians 2:21). However, Jesus did rise from the dead and revealed God’s grace to mankind. All we have to do is believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (John 3:16). In fact, He IS God (John 1:1).

Do you know Him personally or do you only know of Him? Knowing Jesus personally happens the moment you accept Him as your Saviour, friend! Your heart changes and your sinful nature is replaced by a desire to live for Him. I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.
