We learned last week that anyone can claim to have prophetic abilities, but those who do fall short when it comes to accuracy in their predictions and specific details of the fulfillments. This is not the case with prophets in the Bible. The difference we find in the prophecies of the Bible is that they… Continue Reading

A Case for the Old Testament and the New Testament: Prophecy Fulfillment Part I
This week and next we are segueing into our next series by making a connection between the Old and New Testaments based on prophecy and its fulfillment. The evidence in this category is so overwhelming that even ardent atheists have been swayed. Nothing is more profound than Biblical prophecy and its fulfillment! There are many… Continue Reading
A Case for the Old Testament: The books of the Old Testament are historically reliable! Now what?
As we near the close of our “Case for the Old Testament” series it is important to walk away with the understanding that the 39 books of the Christian Old Testament are not only historically reliable with verifiable facts but these books are inspired by God. The connection between the books themselves is undeniable (which… Continue Reading
A Case for the Old Testament: Do numbers in the Bible have meaning?
I have never been great at math, nor has it ever been a favored subject, but as I have gotten older I have gained an appreciation for it.

A Case For The Old Testament: Who Wrote The Torah and When?
Over the past several posts we have been looking at the importance of the foreshadowing of Jesus in the Old Testament. We looked at a few examples of the way God used people and events to foretell us about His Son. As we study through the Old Testament foreshadowing is a key focus point, but… Continue Reading
A Case for the Old Testament: Does the Role of High Priest Foreshadow Jesus?
Since we have been looking at the foreshadowing of Jesus in the Old Testament I have found that the more you explore, the deeper you can go on this subject. God’s grace in giving His people a picture of what was to come is immeasurable! I think this is why skeptics and others have no… Continue Reading
A Case for the Old Testament: Does the Tabernacle Foreshadow Jesus?
We have been looking at foreshadows of Jesus in the Old Testament over the past several posts. This week we are not looking at a person, but a structure that pictures Jesus. God’s directions for the Tabernacle, and all of the items therein, foreshadow Jesus in who He is and what He would do in… Continue Reading
