Prophecy Thread of Week 4

Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary Definition of Truth:…Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be. The truth of history constitutes its whole value. We rely on the truth of the scriptural prophecies.

MESSIAH FULFILLS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS FROM BEGINNING TO END

Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega (Beginning and the End). Scripture states this ten times. The one who knows the beginning from the end knows the truth and is the truth.
