Duration: 365 days

Prophecy Thread of Week 3

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary Definition of Truth:
Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be. The truth of history constitutes its whole value. We rely on the truth of the scriptural prophecies.

MESSIAH IS THE WORD OF GOD, THE SAME FOREVER

This prophecy thread identifies Jesus Christ as the Messiah the Son of God. From before all things, Jesus known as the Word of God spoke all things into existence through the power of God the Father (1Co 8:6). He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Soon He will reign supremely on the earth throughout eternity.
