Prophecy Fulfilled

Prophecy is the for telling events before they happen.

Matthew 26:55–56 KJV 1900

55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. 56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. 20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

What was the Purpose of Christ Rising:

The Commentary of Dr. Zacharias Ursinus on the Heidelberg Catechism III. For What Purpose Did Christ Rise?

Christ rose: 1. For his own glory and for that of his Father. “Declared to be the Son of God, by the resurrection from the dead.” “Father, glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee.” (Rom. 1:4. John 17:1.) The glory of the Son is the glory of the Father.

The Commentary of Dr. Zacharias Ursinus on the Heidelberg Catechism III. For What Purpose Did Christ Rise?

2. On account of the prophecies which had been uttered in relation to the death, and resurrection of Christ. “Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy holy One to see corruption.” “When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed; he shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied.”

The Commentary of Dr. Zacharias Ursinus on the Heidelberg Catechism III. For What Purpose Did Christ Rise?

3. On account of the dignity, and power of the person that rose. It was in view of this, that the Apostle Peter declares that it was not possible that Christ should be held under the power of death: 1. Because he was the beloved, and only begotton Son of God. “The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hands.” “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son.” (John 3:35, 16.) 2. Because Christ is true God, the author and fountain of life. “I am the Resurrection, and the Life.”

The Commentary of Dr. Zacharias Ursinus on the Heidelberg Catechism III. For What Purpose Did Christ Rise?

4. Christ arose that he might carry on the office of mediator, which he could not have done had he remained under death. 1. It became the mediator, who was true God and man, to reign eternally. “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.” “I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I will be his Father, and he shall be my Son.” “Once have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever,

The Commentary of Dr. Zacharias Ursinus on the Heidelberg Catechism III. For What Purpose Did Christ Rise?

5. Christ rose for our salvation, and that in three respects: 1. For our justification. “Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” (Rom. 4:25.)

The Commentary of Dr. Zacharias Ursinus on the Heidelberg Catechism III. For What Purpose Did Christ Rise?

2. Christ rose for our regeneration. Justification or the remission of sin is not sufficient without regeneration, and a new life. 3. Christ rose for the preservation of the benefits which he had purchased for us by his death, and that he might secure our resurrection and glorification.
