Bible Prophecy: The Written Word
The first fulfilled Bible prophecy that should
come to everyone's mind is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the
temple that was destroyed upon his initial passing.
Mark 13:2 "Do you see all these great buildings?"
replied Jesus. "Not one
stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."
Jesus was specifically referring to the temple,
which crumbled upon his death.
Matthew 27:51 And behold, the veil of the
temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks
were split.
Jesus was resurrected 3 days after his death, as
foreshadowed by many places in the bible; the first of which, came 1000 years
previous.
Psalm 16:10-11
because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see
decay. You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in
your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
And after the predictions, came the verification:
Matthew 28:5-8 The angel said to the
women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was
crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place
where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the
dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have
told you." So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy,
and ran to tell his disciples.
