Easter Forecast

Old Testament Prophecies about Jesus
Each year you find in the business pages an analysis of the performance of various stocks that the analysts had made predictions about the previous year. And each year you discover that they were as wrong as often as they were right. Which makes you wonder why people pay analysts so much money to make their predictions. It seems they're not much better than weather forecasters.
Weather forecasts: traditionally unreliable. Hard to see into the future even with one of the world's largest super computers.
But there are some forecasts that are reliable: namely those we find in God's word; especially those to do with the coming of the Messiah.
But first, let's think about why we're looking at these forecasts today. It could just be an intellectual exercise. For those who haven't seen these connections before there may be a level of novelty to it. To others it could just be a pleasant exercise in literary exploration. But there's a much more important issue at stake.
