The Bible. Undoubtedly one of the most controversial books history. People were persecuted for imprisoned and executed that they were trying to make it accessible in their current language to the general public, or is that they tried to practice his views and teachings in innovative ways, as their pursuers, the alleged sending you the source of their authority have taken to the same source.
The current war against the Bible is not, as in the Middle Ages, led by Inquisitors, but by media moguls who spray daily in a pseudo-science programs and articles misinformation about how the Bible through the centuries had been falsified.
We want our Contributions help to provide a clearer picture of our view of the Bible, and give people the opportunity to hear the other side of the story that the media - and, unfortunately, part of the religious institutions themselves - concealed or completely ignored is.
Is the Bible just another book that announces its ideologies shaped by people? Or is this actually the call as many as "religious fanatics" abgestemptelte believers, "the word of God"?
And if in fact inspired by the Creator, what are the evidence or arguments for this belief?
A tangible argument the evidence suggesting that the Bible is inspired in fact, and is based not only on human thought, is the variety of prophecies and predictions, which are included in their ancient writings, which have several already met, and sending you others are just unfold before our eyes.
written in the Bible consists of 66 individual documents, from about 40 different authors over a period of about 1500 years ago, and was in the 4th century by church leaders as "The Holy Scriptures" together.
The most important prophecies of the Old Testament come from the Jewish prophets Jermias, Isaiah, Ezekiel and Daniel, who lived in part before and during the Babylonian conquest of Judea her home, and refer in part to events of their imminent future, while others look much further forward.
We would like to open this series with some of the prophecies, which, we believe, without doubt, have met in Jesus Christ. The title "Christ" comes from the Hebrew word "Messiah", which means "The Anointed One". Although the majority of the Jewish people does not recognize Jesus or Yashua far as the ancient Jewish writings in the promised Messiah, so it is left to the reader of these writings to to form his own opinion about it.
Who is Jesus?
The historical Jesus is also undeniable we Julius Caesar. Dozens ...
One of the surprising aspects of His life, however, are the prophecies of the centuries before His birth by the prophets of the Old Testament were made about him.
around 750 BC, the Jewish prophet Isaiah wrote: "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel hot" ( Jes.7 : 14 ).
According to the 1 from the -Century record incoming the Greek physician Luke, and the Jewish, the former tax collector for the Roman conquerors of Palestine called Matthew, fulfilled this prophecy in the visit of the angel Gabriel to Nazareth in a teenager named Miriam, also called (after the Greek translation), Maria.
Gabriel announced to the girls: (Lk 1:26-35 , mt.1 :21-23 )
Miriam protested at first, because they had never been intimate with a man, but there was the will of God out to allow that to happen probably the most celebrated event of Christianity.
is an equally fascinating prophecy of Isaiah: "For a Child is born to us, a son given to us, and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name is called Wonderful, consultants, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace "( Jes.9: 6 )
The Prophet. Isaiah announced here at the birth of an apparently very special child, that a man's son, who is also God. This passage also confirms other passages in the Old Testament tell us that God has a son. Proverbs 30:4 such as: "Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who bound the waters in a blanket? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what the name of his son, if you know it? "
Ca. 800 before Christ's birth predicted the prophet Micah: "And you, Bethlehem Ephrata, too small to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall come forth, is to be ruler over Israel, and its outputs are of the prehistoric times, her from the days of eternity. "(Micah 5:2)
Matthew reported as 8 centuries later, Joseph, her fiance and then husband of Miriam result of an imperial decree 150 km from his hometown, Nazareth, with his wife to his birthplace had to travel to register there by the Romans: the small town of Bethlehem. We all know the rest of the story, as the king of kings held there in a palace in a stall was born. ( mt.2: 1 )
here that a child should be born, but whose mind was older than the oldest man, can perhaps begin to understand ourselves what Jesus meant when he, in a debate with the Jewish authority, pursuing him , said, "Before Abraham was I am." (John 8:58)
He meant that He was the one who had the burning bush spoke to Moses centuries earlier and he said he intended to in slavery people kept saying the God of Israel with the name "I am who am" I sent him the importance of the Hebrew name "Yahweh" or "Jehovah."
In the Gospels we read how Jesus as a grown man in the congregation of the synagogue of Nazareth, the following lines from the scroll of Isaiah read, and to the dismay of his audience, said those words had come true before their eyes:
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me because He has anointed Me to bring glad tidings to the meek, for He has sent Me to to combine, the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison-bound; to proclaim the year of acceptance of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God to comfort all who mourn "(Jes.61: 1.2)
" The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, and he sent me to proclaim release prisoners and to end the face blind, oppressed go free, to proclaim the pleasant pleasing O. {} year of the Lord. " (Lk.4: 18, 19)
Since it was inconceivable to both the residents of his city who knew him from childhood, and for the religious leaders in Jerusalem, that this seemingly insignificant man without the usual pomp and lust for power of positioned members of society could be the Son of God, It did not take too long until they were planning his death, in order to meet not only the true purpose of His coming, namely as a sacrificial lamb to allow for the sins of all his life, but also to meet the most important prophecies about Him.
Around 450 BC Zechariah Prophesied in the Old Testament: "Rejoice aloud, O daughter Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king shall come to thee, just and having salvation is he, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey "(Sach.9: 9).
This prophecy was fulfilled Jesus only a few as a day before his death, he with his disciples to Jerusalem for Passover came and told them where they would find a young donkey for him, on which he was riding in his celebrated entry into Jerusalem would like to tell us the Evangelist ( Mt.21 :2-10 )
Zechariah tells us at what price the Son of God, four and a half centuries would be revealed later: "And I said unto them, If it is good in your eyes, so I asked my salary, but if not, it will let, and they weighed for my wages. thirty pieces of silver" (Sach.11: 12) Matthew
later reported, "Then came one of the twelve, Judas Iscariot was called to the chief priests and said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver it to you? And they gave him thirty pieces of silver. "(Mt.26: 14.15)
Zechariah further prophesied," And the Lord said to me, "Throw it to the potter, the wonderful price that I am worthy of their attention! And I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord, the potter's go. "(Zechariah 11:13) And again
Matthew reported on the fulfillment of this prophecy also:
" Then Judas, who had handed him saw that he was condemned, repented him, and he brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders and said, "I have sinned, as I innocent blood have survived. But they said: What is that to us? To see you. And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple and went away and went and hanged himself. The chief priests took the silver pieces and said: It is not allowed to throw them into the treasury, seeing that it is blood money. And they took counsel, and bought for the potter's field to bury the stranger. "(Mt.27 :3-9)
In one of the most accurate descriptions of the most prophetic of the coming Messiah, the 53rd Chapter of the book of Isaiah, the 750 years was gescrhrieben BC, we find more detailed predictions about the life and death of Yashua the Messiah, Jesus Christ known:
"Surely He has borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows, he has loaded up. And we, we considered him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted, but for our transgressions, He was wounded for our iniquities to destroy. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed.
He was mistreated, but he bent down, put his mouth does not, like the lamb that is led to slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, and He opened not his mouth. - He has been taken away from prison and court. He was cut off from the land of the living: For the transgression of my People met him punishment. And you his grave is determined at the wicked, but with the rich he was in his death because he has committed no wrong and there is no deceit in His mouth "( Isaiah 53 )
Some of the most amazing prophecies. about the death of the Messiah come from a period around 1000 BC, had by the indisputable most remarkable king to the nation of Israel ever: the former shepherd boy David, who had made as a teenager by his triumph over the giant Goliath Jewish history.
David wrote most of the located in the Old Testament Psalms, which were really spiritual songs, in their Texts, however, we find a wealth of prophetic predictions. King David himself died a natural death, as in the first Book of Kings reported, so he did not speak of himself as he wrote:
"Dogs have surrounded me, a band of evildoers has encircled me. You have my hands and my feet pierced, and all my bones I could count. They look and stare at me;. They part my garments among them, and upon my vesture they cast lots "(Ps.22 :16-18)
Consider also that the execution method of the crucifixion to King David's lifetime, not even existed, but only with the Auftstieg of the Roman Empire was practiced.
The psalmist David prophesied that: "suffering of the righteous, the Lord keepeth all his bones, not one of them is broken." (Ps.34: 19, 20)
Since Jesus was crucified on the eve of the Passover , the highest holiday of the Jewish tradition at that time, accelerated the Roman soldiers to the death of two thieves who were crucified with Jesus by breaking their legs. When they came to Jesus, however, he was already dead and thus fulfilled the prophecy that none of the remains would be the just broken.
To be sure, he drilled a soldier with a javelin in the side, fulfilling another prophecy:
"The House of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will look on Me whom they have pierced, and they will mourn for him, and bitterly sorry who just suffering with bitterness for his firstborn. "(Sach.12: 10)
The prophet Daniel, from the we will hear in the coming episodes of this series more, even nearly 500 years, said before the exact year of the crucifixion ahead
"From the word go out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah, are seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. After the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off. And the people of the coming prince shall destroy the city and the sanctuary is "(Dan.9: 25, 26).
The original The word translated here as "week" is "Shabua" and means buschstäblich "seven." 49x7 = 483, the exact number of years of the adoption by the Persian king Artaxerxes Longiman in 353 BC to the crucifixion in the year 30 our time.
It took 49 years until the Babylonians destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem was built, and another 434 to the "Messiah put away" was. Another 40 years later met the rest of Daniel's prophecy, as the Romans, "the people of the coming prince," the "city and the sanctuary" destroyed again. Finally, predicts David
the resurrection of the Messiah: "For my soul will not let you Sheol will not allow that your just to see corruption." (Ps.16: 10)
"Sheol" is the Hebrew word for "hell" and "grave." As King David was buried after his death, we know that did not apply these words to himself, but to the other, the "righteous" who rose from the dead, according to the testimony of His followers three days after his execution.
The discovery of the Qumran scrolls in Palestine from 1947 show that all these prophecies were made long before Christ.
There are also prophecies fulfilled until long after Christ were such that one can not say the Gospels were manipulated so that they match the predictions.
For example, does the prophet Ezekiel in 572 BC, a prophecy, which only later than 2000 years, should meet in 1542,:
"And He brought me back the way to the outer gates of the sanctuary which looked to the east, and it was locked. And the Lord said to me: This gate shall be closed and it should not be opened, and no one should go through him, because the Lord God of Israel, is fed through the same thing, so shall it be sealed "(Hes.44. : 1.2)
In 70 AD Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. 1542 was built by the Muslim Sultan Sulieman the walls again and left the eastern gate walled up because the Jews are still expected that their Messiah would enter through this gate.
Or is it something like this, that He has already done? can
