Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.’ ”Īcts 13:29-30 “Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. Psalms 2:7-8 “I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. John 14:19 Promise One: The Messiah Will Be Killed And Resurrected It is by the resurrection of the Messiah that Jesus said we could have confidence in our own future resurrection. These ten prophecies from the Old Testament Bible were written well in advance of their fulfillment: the prophecies from the Psalms, one thousand years Jonah, nearly eight hundred years the prophet Jeremiah, six hundred years.

One of the promises that God made to the world, in the ancient Hebrew scriptures, is the guarantee of a resurrection by the Messiah. This Chapter Continues With The Presentation Of Ten Promises By Prophecy Of Resurrection That Jesus Fulfilled: If we believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God and our Savior, then we should have no problem believing that the story of Jonah-in the belly of the whale-actually happened because Jesus said that it did. It also validates for us the story of Jonah as an actual event that took place, and not a myth or allegory. What this reveals to us is that Jesus has a depth of knowledge of the Old Testament scriptures that no one else in the history of the world possesses. Matthew 12:40 (Jesus speaking) For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. This question is easily answered, as Jesus Himself told us that Jonah’s three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish was a prophecy of His future resurrection.

I received a note from an atheist a few years ago, in which he claimed that scholars have not been able to find any prophecy from the Old Testament that predicts the resurrection of the Messiah in three days. One of the objections that many critics of the Bible have, concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ and His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, is in the subject of the three days between His death and resurrection.
