The Apostle Peter affirmed that prophecy (Acts 2:17-21)
will exist through the last days. Knowing Prophecy is
vital to our understanding of what is happening to us
now and what will happen in the future. Because of the
precision of Prophecy, it is clear that GOD does not want
us to live in the dark. GOD knows the future, the end
from the beginning (Isaiah 46:9-10). Prophecy is HIS way
of letting us know that we are not alone; for HE is always
with us. Whether we realize it or not, the ongoing
fulfillment of prophecy is having a dramatic impact on
every person alive today. Let us consider seven reasons
why it is important to respect Prophecy?
1. The precision of Prophecy proves that GOD is
Sovereign and in Control! As we learn the precision
with which Bible prophecies were fulfilled in prior
ages, and as we witness major prophecies being
fulfilled in our times, we have solid proof that GOD is
real. HE is the true Creator. He is the author of
beauty. CHRIST fulfilled each of the nearly 300
prophecies foretold hundreds of years before HIS
coming. The probability that one man could fulfill all
of the prophecies as foretold is astronomical. Only
GOD incarnate could do this.

The precision of CHRIST’s fulfillments alone gives us
absolute certainty of the existence of GOD and HIS
Son. In addition, the Table above lists three examples
of major prophecies that were fulfilled that will
