OUR PROPHETIC NUMBER “ Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:20, 21.) “ And he said unto them. These are the words which 1 spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.” (Luke 24:44.) “ Andi I fell at his feet to worship him.

THE PROPHETIC PROGRAM The Bible is God’s prophetic Blue Print. From the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, you will find God’s plans and purposes concerning the children of men worked out in the most minute detail.

The specifications include Heaven and earth, countries, cities, races, in dividuals, morals, blessings and cursings. Times and seasons are named. Individuals are named and described centuries before they are born, and their work assigned to them. There has never been found a single error in the working plans of the Blue Print. Neither pen, pencil nor eraser has ever marred it. Men have scoffed and have sought to make light of it, but it has not been changed. It was all settled in Heaven before it was given to earth. The details regarding His !Son who was to be born of a Virgin, the prophet who was to announce Him, the attitude of the king who was to seek to kill Him, the religious rulers who were to hate and crucify Him — are all there.
