Fulfilled Prophecies
A. THE NATURE OF THIS ARGUMENT... 1. The prophecies foretold
events in detail that were beyond the scope of human speculation
2. How did the writers or speakers do it? a. They attributed it
to God! b. And God declared that such evidence was a proof of
His existence and superiority over men and all heathen gods -
Isaish 41:21-24; 42:8-9; 46:8-11
B. A FEW EXAMPLES... 1. The fall of Babylon, written two hundred
years before it occurred- Isaish 13:17-22 2. The fall of Egypt,
that it would be destroyed more by civil war than by outside
forces - Isaish 19:1-4 3. The fall of Nineveh, with its utter
desolation- Zeph. 2:13-15 4. The fall of Tyre, with its becoming
a place for the spreading of nests - Ezekiel 26:1-5 5. There are
prophecies concerning Christ- Luke 24:44-45 a. It has been
stated there 332 prophecies fulfilled in Christ - Henry Liddon
b. The mathematical probability that all could be fulfilled in
one person by chance alone has been calculated as one in 84
times ten to the 123rd power (84 followed by 123 zeroes) -- Cf.
Intro To Christian Evidences, Jenkins, pp. 87-107 6. Prophecies
by Christ, such as the destruction of Jerusalem a. Foretold in
Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 b. Fulfilled in A.D. 70, when Rome
destroyed Jerusalem
