He has Risen (Jesus's resurrection predicted) Psalm 16:10

For will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your godly one to rot in the grave.

Since a dead body takes about 3 days to smell Jesus had to rise from the dead at that time.

In Psalm 118:15-17

...The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things. The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph.  The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!  I will not die, but I will live to tell what the Lord has done.  The Lord has punished me severely, but he has not handed me over to death. 

Through other scriptures we know that Jesus is at the right of God the Father.  The right hand usually represents the place of authority.  Here in these verses alone "The right arm of the Lord is mentioned 3 times. Would it be a coincidence that he rose after 3 days?

You might say: "Well, Jesus did die!", but you have to read it in the context of the whole verse...He was not handed over to death...meaning that he didn't fall victim of death like most people do.  He rose before that.  Soon Christians have that comforting promise that we also will rise with him at our resurrection.  There is not one Christian out there that doesn't want our fellow men and women and children to rise with them.

www.jesusfilm.org 
is a good website to visit if you want to learn more about the different prophecies that were fulfilled in Jesus's life here on earth.  Number 47 in that list is the one about his resurrection.

The reason I especially chose the prophecy of the resurrection is that the resurrection is very important to us, Christians because it gives us a reason to live and see people live and get healed and even rise from the dead. We celebrate it at Easter usually Spring time here in Canada

Tomorrow we will look at one more prophecy about the birth of Jesus (A prophecy we rightly like to quote at Christmas time) and then we will be finished for prophecies although I encourage you all to go to that website: www.jesusfilm.org and investigate about Jesus.  There is no wrong there, he doesn't mind to be checked out and you can search your own Bible for answers.  There are online tools to help you study the Bible if you have access to the internet.  One of them is: www.biblestudytools.com
There are many others and they are mostly free as well as free apps to read the Bible.

Thank you for your interest in this blog.  Have a great day!  Here we have blue sky and sunshine

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now is my second chance to build a future filled with wisdom into my

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it difficult to act well while we wait.   We can all wait as this
