PROPHESIES CONCERNING CHRIST'S DEATH FULFILLED
Luke 24:25-27
Calvary marks such a wonderful climax and crisis in the Divine Plan for
this earth that many prophecies of centuries were fulfilled in the space of
one single week. There are at least 24 Old Testament prophecies bearing on
our Lord Jesus Christ, which were uttered by several different Prophets at
different times during the five centuries from about 1000 to 500 B.C., which
were all literally fulfilled within the week of His crucifixion.
