One of the favorite times for self-named “prophets,” or predictors of the future, to foretell what’s going to happen during the new year…is around the first of the new year.

Makes sense, because if you pay close attention to world events, the odds are that you’ll get close on a couple of them. But even with that low score of success, they’ll crow that they knew it all the time. One of my favorite jokes concerning fortune tellers, is the one where the guy gets his future told by the woman with the crystal ball…gets up and walks out. As he leaves, he looks back and says, “You should have known I wouldn’t pay you.”

And that’s about the size of it. Don’t waste your money on such things.

In contrast, though, the Holy Bible is full of prophecies and predictions that were many years ahead, and all came true. For example, the prophet Micah, predicting the coming of Jesus Christ back in about 744 A.D., said, (Living Bible version) “But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah,. Yet a ruler of Israel will come from you, one whose origins are from the distant past.” And of course, Jesus was born in Bethlehem 700 years later.

As a matter of fact, Jesus fulfilled 332 distinct prophecies from the Old Testament. I’ve read that the odds of such a thing happening is 840 plus 96 zeros! As for His coming again, in what Christians call the “rapture;” the time when He’ll come back for those who have believed in Him…there are 1,845 predictions in the Bible of His second coming. It will happen.

Evolutionists and atheists, you may as well believe it.
