Prophecy is history written in advance. Its 100% accuracy rate proves that it comes from God, whose plan for man’s salvation was in place since Adam. So when ancient prophets speak, consider their words as about or from the Messiah. Their pain foreshadows His pain; their jubilation foreshadows His victory over death. |
