Question: Did Jesus arrange His life to pretend to fulfill prophecy, as some have alleged? Some say Jesus really lived, but that He knew about the prophecies and simply deliberately arranged to fulfill them all to proclaim Himself Messiah. Indeed, we see in several cases that Jesus knew He was fulfilling prophecy, or the Gospel writer indicates that something Jesus did fulfilled a specific messianic prophecy. But there are two main problems with this theory. One is that it makes Jesus into a deceiver, pretending to be someone He wasn’t. Imagine Him trying to hoodwink people with sleight-of-hand...

Question: What evidence is there for the resurrection of Christ? Answer: The evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ turns out to be among the most solid evidence for any fact of history. There are many good reference books on this subject. One very scholarly treatment is The Historical Jesus by Gary Habermas. He outlines certain facts concerning Jesus that are believed by the majority of scholars, even those who are the most critical. Here are some of the facts listed: The death of Jesus by crucifixion.The disciples’ experiences which they believed to be of the risen Christ.The transformation...

An amazing biblical anticipation of scientific discovery, seen in the book of Job, is the description of the process of rainfall. The process of rainfall from clouds, the coalescing of small drops of water vapor into larger drops of liquid water to eventually fall as rain was not understood in ancient times as it is today. Yet Job 36:27-28 says, “For he maketh small the drops of water; they pour down rain according to the vapor thereof; which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.” Henry Morris[1] describes how drops of rain are “made small” as they start off within the clouds...

Question: What did ancient cultures believe about the number of stars? What did the Bible teach about this? Answer: When the Bible was written only three thousand to four thousand stars were visible to the naked eye, and no telescopes had been invented yet. But listen to this verse in Jeremiah 33:22: “As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.” God was saying that David’s spiritual descendants through Christ would be very numerous, and He used the figure of speech...

So did the universe spring into existence from nothing, without a creator, according to the scientific evidence? For most of history, people thought the universe was past eternal and uncreated, with matter and time and space already there. It’s a lot easier for us today to think of a finite universe with a beginning, since the big bang theory is currently the most widely accepted theory. But a big bang without a creator has some major difficulties. Without a creator the big bang theory is essentially: “Nothing went ‘bang!’ and out came the universe.” The atheist, like the theist,...

The Bible is everywhere! And this makes sense if it is indeed God's Word to us.The Bible has reached more places and peoples than any other book on this planet. In terms of total circulation no book even approaches the Bible, which has sold not millions, but billions of copies! Now if a book were actually inspired by God you would expect it to be powerful. Why would the Bible sell so much? Perhaps because it meets a need of mankind that only God could know about and provide, being our Creator. And people are inspired to give it out, even for free. Personally, one example of the ubiquitous...

Did you know that many of the heroes of the Old Testament foreshadow the life of Jesus Christ in some fascinating ways? There are many prophetic types and shadows in the Scripture. Joseph, the one with the “coat of many colors,” is the son of Jacob who was sold by his brothers as a slave and ended up becoming a prince in Egypt. The following are a small sample of over 100 ways that Joseph is a prophetic type of Jesus Christ. In Genesis 37:4-5, 8, he is hated by his brethren because of his words. The antitype is fulfilled in John 5:18, 7:7, 8:40, and many other places where Jesus is hated...

Did you know that Noah's Ark points to Jesus' resurrection? And that the date the Ark landed in the mountains of Ararat is prophetic? The ark of Noah is referenced in the New Testament as a type of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and salvation through Him (1 Peter 3:18-22). In the Genesis account we see that God specified the exact day the ark came to rest: the seventeenth day of the seventh month, which represented a new beginning on the earth (Genesis 8:4). Why are we given this date in the story of the Ark? The Jewish New Year is celebrated in the fall, on the first day of the month...

When we read the Bible, many of us often find wading through some of the genealogies in the Old Testament to be boring and tedious. But believe it or not, there are some amazing discoveries in them that await the careful reader. In Genesis 5 a genealogy of ten names begins with Adam and goes to Noah. Each name in the Bible of course has a specific meaning, as names do today. As Chuck Missler points out, to get to the proper meaning, a study of the original roots making up the name is needed, and sometimes this is not provided by a standard lexicon or concordance.[1] When these...

Many of us have heard of the mysterious "Bible Codes". What exactly is all the fuss about? With the invention of high-speed computers a phenomenon has reportedly been discovered in the Bible involving what is called Equidistant Letter Sequences, or ELS, also popularly know as the "Bible Codes." Basically a "code" is a word or words found in the text spelled out over regular intervals, such as every 7th letter, or every 20th letter. How do we prove these words found encoded in the text are not just there by chance, which is the charge of skeptics of the Bible Codes? One of many...
