( and 270 ramifications) fulfilled by the life of Christ. Here are just a few:

There are over 300 prophecies in the Bible, 61 relate to the coming of Messiah( Jesus)
Probability of one man fulfilling just 8 is 1 in 1017( 1 in 1000,000,000,000,000,000)
The real Jesus, born of a virgin, suffered under Pontius Pilate and was crucified. Though dead and buried, on the third day He rose again defeating hell, death and the grave giving us the hope of resurrection. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16.
The real Jesus is alive, risen from the dead; The gospel of John tells of Thomas, a disciple who doubted that He had risen, who He invites to put his hand into His side and to see His nail pierced hands. John’ s gospel states,“ Jesus did many other things as well; If every one of them were written down I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” John 21:25
The one book that really does give all the information needed is the Bible itself. This book really is the Word of God to mankind steering us towards our need of this Jesus.
Jesus performed wonderful miracles when He walked the earth. He is alive now and still performing miracles in people’ s lives. He has in my life. Jesus is not a fictitious person He is real.
The Jehovah’ s Witnesses believe in a fictional Jesus who started as the Archangel Michael( stage 1) then became Jesus the man( stage 2) and then Michael again after his spiritual resurrection,( stage 3) but they do not believe He rose from the dead. They believe in 2 Gods, the greater Jehovah who created the lesser, Jesus.
The Mormons believi that Jesus is the brother of Lucifer and is a created being without any divinity.
In Islam Jesus is the prophet Isa, again without divinity as they do not believe He is the Son of God.
Catholics believe that sinners need the Virgin Mary and the Roman Catholic Church to give salvation. They don’ t believe that Jesus’ work on the cross was enough. They depend on Mary,( believing her to be sinless) and in doing sacraments in the Church, including confession to the priest who absolves sins.
Only the real Jesus can take your sin away and live in your heart. Only the real Jesus died and rose again with extraordinary evidence in the chronicles of history. None other showed love for you and me like the real Jesus.
“‘ I Am the Alpha and Omega’; says the Lord,‘ who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.’” Revelation 1:8 He is coming again very soon so make sure that you are not deceived by the craftiness of men. Get to know the real Jesus.“ If you declare with your mouth,‘ Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9..
Joel says,“ In the last days I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. Your old men shall dream dreams and your young men shall see visions.“ Joel 2:28
Never more so than now, there is an unprecedented move of God especially among the Muslims.
CBN News Quote:“ There is an endtime phenomenon that is happening through dreams and visions,” said Christine Darg, author of The Jesus Visions: Signs and Wonders in the Muslim World.“ He is going into the Muslim world and revealing, particularly, the last 24 hours of His life- how He died on the cross, which Islam does not teach- how He was raised from the dead, which Islam also does not teach – and how He is the Son of God, risen in power.”
The real Jesus is alive and He is revealing Himself not just to Christians but to Jews and Muslims as well. The times of prophetic fulfilment are at hand! p
