IV. Christ And The Phases Of Prophecy Are Explained Below<br />
From Adam to Moses: references to <strong>the</strong> Redeemer were made, besides specification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
person and tribe <strong>of</strong> which Christ will come.<br />
From Moses to Christ: in this phase <strong>the</strong> rituals and rites were set down <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> Psalms and<br />
<strong>the</strong> redemption. The time and conditions in which Christ would come are defined<br />
accompanied by accurate calculations and specific testimonials.<br />
Christ and <strong>the</strong> Church: in this phase <strong>the</strong> prophecies indicate <strong>the</strong> growth <strong>of</strong> faith and <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Church, <strong>the</strong> destruction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> temple, and finally <strong>the</strong> new earth and heaven.<br />
V. The Testimony <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Books for Christ<br />
His redeeming work: ―Shall bruise <strong>the</strong> head <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> serpent‖ (Genesis 3:15).<br />
Christ‘s origin: from <strong>the</strong> line <strong>of</strong> Abraham (Genesis 23:18), and from <strong>the</strong> tribe <strong>of</strong> Judah<br />
(Genesis 49:10), and from <strong>the</strong> stem <strong>of</strong> Jesse (Isaiah 11:1).<br />
A man <strong>of</strong> sufferings: acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3). He was beaten, lashed and spit upon<br />
(Isaiah 50:6). His cry on <strong>the</strong> Cross: ―My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?‖ (Psalm<br />
22:1).<br />
He will also arise: He rose victorious over death (Psalm 16:10). Just as <strong>the</strong> prophecies<br />
concerning <strong>the</strong> past have been fulfilled, so will those concerning <strong>the</strong> future. ―Surely, I am<br />
coming quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus‖ (Revelation 22:20).<br />
