The Prophesy

The Holy Bible is the Prophesy of Jesus the Christ, the son of God, the God of creation, the true living God and his gospel or good news of God’s salvation for mankind to live with God for eternity in everlasting life.

The Holy Bible starts with the creation of the universe or heavens and the earth and all creation of all creatures living in the sea, air and land including all plants, trees and vegetation. God also created mankind in the first human beings, Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve lived in a Garden of Eden God created and they fellowshipped with God in perfect peace and harmony.

The Holy Bible records that God commanded man not to eat of a certain tree in middle of the garden, the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Despite this command by God, man was deceived by the Devil, or a sinfully prideful archangel of God who sought to destroy God’s fellowship with man. The Devil in the form of a serpent deceived Eve into eating of the tree God forbid and lied to the woman who gave the forbidden fruit to her husband Adam.

This caused the first sin, or transgression of God’s law, by man against God. God cursed man and the woman and the serpent. God forced man out of the Garden of Eden and away from the holy presence of God. Thus, man had disobeyed God and was cast away from the presence of God into the larger world.

Because the Devil had destroyed God’s perfect harmony with man, God had to set in motion a plan to redeem mankind from the curse of sin, being physical and spiritual death.

The Holy Bible is the story, history, testimony, and prophesy of God and his glorious plan to make right the wrong done by the Devil in God’s Garden of Eden and redeem mankind back to God and to new state of righteous fellowship with Almighty God in his holy kingdom forever, so man can live once again in God’s holy presence and glorify God forever. In the end God will live in presence of his people and he will be their God and be glorified by his people in perfect harmony and peace.

In time, God would again appear to man. God appeared to a man named Abram, who would listen to God and Obey his commandments. God blessed Abram and changed his name to Abraham. Abraham even obeys God’s commandment to sacrifice his own son Isaac who Abraham prepared to kill with a knife following God’s command. But God stopped Abraham at the last second and prevented him from killing his own son. Therefore, God blessed Abraham greatly for his faith in God and his obedience. God blessed Abraham saying “in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.” God prophesied and promised Abraham that his seed would be as the sand of shore or stars of heavens. The promise of God would extend to Abraham’s son’s future children and their children and their children’s children, for all eternity.

Abraham begat Isaac and Isaac had sons, one named Jacob who God blessed. God later changed Jacob’s name to Israel and Israel would have twelve children. These twelve children of Israel became in time twelve tribes of people whom God would choose or show his salvation and mighty works to, and appear to, make a covenant with giving his Law and commandments to live a holy righteous life within the presence of God. The people of Israel by obeying God, and maintaining holiness, would be a light to the other nations and the hope was that Israel would cause other nations to also worship and glorify God.

The Holy Bible recorded that Israel failed to obey God and repeatedly sinned breaking God’s commandments. When Israel sinned against God, God required a sacrificial offering for the sin by the people of Israel to make an atonement for the sin the people committed against God.
If Israel sinned there were Judgements and God would impose punishments on the people of Israel, and if they turned from their wickedness and sought God, he would deliver or restore them to safety from their circumstances.

The overall history of Israel is unfortunate in that the twelve tribes of Israel repeatedly rebelled and sinned against God and his commandment, breaking his covenant God made with the children of Israel. God would send from each generation holy men of God who would remind the people of Israel to return back to following God and his commandments, his law. The holy men of God were known as prophets of God. The prophets not only warned Israel to return back to God, but would also prophesy of the great plan God had for restoring Israel and its people back to God.

God, after dividing Israel, and punishing Israel, and casting Israel off their land into the nations, would again have mercy and shed his grace upon Israel and promise to restore Israel, to redeem Israel from her many sins against God.

This overall Prophesy by God’s many prophets were of the chosen one of God, and the anointed of God, a Chosen Seed of Abraham from among his seed. Out of Israel was to come a deliverer, and a redeemer, a savior, a messiah, or anointed one, the Christ of God.

This Prophesy concerned the coming savior, Israel’s redeemer, the Christ, Jesus the Son of God, born out from among mankind, the Adamic race and out of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob’s seed, out of the people of Israel, out of the Israelite tribe of Judah.

This is the story, testimony, and prophesy concerning the Son of man, the Son of God, Jesus, God’s salvation to Israel and all of mankind.

It’s through the testimony, ministry, and the work of Jesus the Christ that God will redeem mankind back to a healthy holy righteous relationship with Almighty God, so that man can commune with and glorify God for all eternity.
