Answer 3

Daniel 9:24 says that the Jews only have 70 (7 + 62 + 1) prophetic weeks (1 prophetic day = 1 literal year - Ezekiel 4:6) until they will be cut off. That equals 490 literal years. Daniel 9:25 says that the prophecy begins at the command by Artaxerxes to rebuild Jerusalem (Ezra 7:12,13, 21) which was given in 457 BC (This is also corroborated by a secular document by Artaxerxes). If we go forward 483 years from 457 BC, we come to AD 27 (don't forget that there is no year "0", so subtract 1 year).

What happened in AD 27? Jesus began his ministry in AD 27, when He was actually 30. That is because our calendar is off by 4 years, and you don't count the year "0", so there is a 3-year difference.

Luke 3:1, 21 tells us that Jesus was baptized in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, which was AD 27. How many "Messiahs" can there be that fulfilled this prophecy? Only one. Not Shiva, not Krishna, not Buddha, not Muhammed.

Then Daniel 9:26 says that in the 70th week (a 7-year period) "halfway through the week (3-1/2 years) Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself". Three-and-a-half years after AD 27 is the Spring of AD 30, when Christ was crucified, but not for His own sins (He had none). At that time, He caused the "sacrifice and oblation to cease" (the sacrificial system came to and end - and, just to make His point clear, the veil in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.)

The 70th week ends at AD 34. What happened in AD 34? Right after Christ rose from the dead in AD 30, He commanded his disciples to "go first to the lost children of Israel (the Jews)." In AD 34, the Jews stoned Stephen to death, who became the first Christian martyr, and probation finally came to a close for the Jews, as they finally rejected the Gospel. The stoning of Stephen then caused the Christians to spread out into the rest of the world, carrying the Gospel to the Gentiles. This is the end of Daniel's 70-week prophecy.

In summary, NONE of the "gods/goddesses" of history fulfilled any part of this prophecy, even if they were claimed to experience similar events, none of them would have been in the correct time frame as the prophecy spelled out, so they are easily seen as fakes. Only one person in history fulfilled this prophecy written 483 years before its fulfillment, and that was Jesus Christ, Yeshua ha Messhiach, Immanuel.

Answer 4

Psalm 22 - Written by David about 1043-973 BC There are actually 11 prophecies included in this one chapter describing the crucifixion of the Messiah in heartbreaking detail. Those include, but aren't limited to the following:

The Messiah will be despised of the people. (Mat 27:20-23)

The Messiah will be sneered at and mocked (Luke 23:11,35-39)

The Messiah will be pierced through hands and feet (Luke 23:33 and 24:36-39; John 19:18 and 20:19-20,24-27)

The Messiah’s bones will not be broken (John 19:31-33,36)

Men Will Gamble for the Messiah’s clothing (Matthew 27:35; Mark 15:24; Luke 23:34; John 19:23,24)

"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Mat 27:46 and Mar 15:34)

The Messiah will thirst but will not drink. (Matt 27:34)

His critics will challenge him to "deliver himself" (Matt 27:43)

Answer 5

"But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death."
