22. December, 2016UncategorizedProphecy Project The goal of this project is to examine some of the many Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah, and see if these prophecies have come true. Our premise is that if there are legitimate prophecies in the Old Testament of future events which the human author could not possibly have known on his own, then there must have been supernatural intervention in giving these prophecies. If this is true, this would indicate that the Old Testament must be reliable, because God was involved in its writing. General dating of the Biblical books: Isaiah: written in the 8th century B.C. Micah: a contemporary of Isaiah Jeremiah: written in the 7th century B.C. Zechariah: written in the 6th century B.C. Job: written as early as 2000 B.C., as late as 6th century B.C. Psalm 22: written by King David
