The Grands Letter (late edition) (GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on September 22, 2016 8:52 am (CST)Dear Grands,
John 19:24, “So they said to one another, ‘Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it,
to decide whose it shall be’; this was to fulfill the Scripture: ‘THEY DIVIDED MY
OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS.’”
The latter chapters of John’s Gospel are loaded with prophecies! McDowell has
compiled them in his book, Evidence That Demands a Verdict. The Jewish method
of determining whether a prophecy were true was to test a long-term prediction
by a short-term prediction. If the short-term prediction came true, they then
believed the long-term one. If the short-term prophecy did not come true, they
then would not believe the long-term one. The attachment above (three pages)
show both some long-term and short-term prophecies concerning Jesus. This is
a valuable tool for proving the Bible and Jesus to be true.
May the LORD give you a glorious day!
