There are hundreds of prophetic verses in the Old Testament that foretold future events about Jesus and world affairs. Thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls and other historical artifacts, we have certainty that these prophetic writings were recorded before their fulfillment. In the Prophetical Articles, we’ll explore when these prophecies were written, the historical evidence surrounding them, and how they were ultimately fulfilled—validating the credibility and reliability of Scripture.
Many of these prophecies are remarkably detailed—naming places, events, and even specific timelines long before they occurred. The level of precision found within these prophecies isn't found in generic predictions, but rather in divinely inspired revelation. As we examine these prophetic texts, we’ll also look at their context within history, how early Jewish and Christian communities understood them, and the impact on how we can trust that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
