Foretold & Fulfilled

About this book

Can a promise made thousands of years ago really come true? Long before Jesus was born, the prophets of the Bible wrote about the little town where he would be born, the humble donkey he would ride into Jerusalem, the exact price of his betrayal and a tomb that could not hold him. Hundreds of years later, every one of those promises came true. Foretold & Fulfilled takes young readers on an unforgettable journey through 15 landmark Bible prophecies, from the very first promise in the Garden of Eden to Jesus' prediction that the great temple would fall. Each chapter places the prophecy and its fulfilment side by side, in the Bible's own words, so readers can see the evidence for themselves. Inside you'll find: - 15 prophecies from the Old and New Testaments, each followed by its fulfilment- "Setting the Scene" sections that bring ancient history to life- "The Gap" how many years passed before each promise came true- "Did You Know?" facts from history and archaeology, from the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Cyrus Cylinder- Striking pictures of biblical-era scenes in every chapter- "Think About It" questions for families, Sunday schools and youth groups- A prophecy timeline and an easy-to-use glossary The book ends at a well in Samaria, where Jesus meets a lonely woman and reveals himself as the long-awaited Messiah. This final chapter explains the good news of salvation clearly and gently, and invites readers to respond for themselves. Written in clear, engaging language, Foretold & Fulfilled is ideal for readers aged 10 and up. It's a great choice for personal reading, family devotions, homeschool, Sunday school or youth group, and a meaningful gift for any young person asking, "Is the Bible really true?"
