The Bible tells us much about future events.

But how can we trust the Bible?

One of the clearest evidences that the Bible is God’s word is the fact prophecies were fulfilled (came to pass) later on. There are many of these fulfilled prophecies, but we’ll confine the prophecies to those about Jesus Christ.

The Old Testament has more then 300 prophecies about His Coming, His life, and His ministry. We’ll list only 7 of these here.
