our dear friend Agers, in the course of debate, in an attempt to stave off imminent
recognition of the inspiration of scripture resorted to the dastardly practice of
claiming a conspiracy amongst the Bible writers, that they somehow managed to
engineer the events about which they prophesied, despite the fact, that in many
cases, it was with regard to whole nations and in one instance against a person that
had nails through his hands and feet and was therefore unable to engineer anything
which transpired after such. He asked for a basis that the Christ was the messiah,
well, ok that is fine, for there are almost 400 messianic prophesies which point
towards the Christ as the Messiah, his objection of course that this would be
applicable to anyone, another vain and scurrilous attempt to stave off the
realisation, that yes indeed, the scriptures are inspired of God. So we provide one
or two notable examples of messianic prophecy for his continuing education. The
first reference being the initial prophecy, the latter its fulfilment, with the event in
between.
1. Isaiah 7:14 - Christ born of a virgin - Matthew 1:18-23
2. Jeremiah 31:15 - Babes killed after Christ's birth - Matthew 2:16-18
3. Micah 5:2 - Born in Bethlehem - Luke 2:1-7
4. Psalm 132:11 - David's descendent - Matthew 1:1-16
5. Psalm 41:9; 109:8 - One unfaithful apostle - Acts 1:15-20
6. Zechariah 11:12 - Betrayed for thirty pieces of silver - Matthew 26:14, 15
7. Psalm 27:12- false witness given against - Matthew 26:59-61
8. Psalm 22:18 - Lots cast for his garments - John 19:23, 24
9. Isaiah 53:12 - Numbered with sinners - Matthew 27:38
10. Psalm 22:7, 8 - Reviled while dying - Mark 15:29-32
11. Psalm 69:21 - Given vinegar - Mark 15:23, 36
12. Zechariah 12:10 - pierced - John 19:34, 37
13. Isaiah 53:9 - Buried with the rich - Matthew 27:57-60
thirteen notable events over which Christ could have had no part in either
engineering nor of conspiring with others.
