700 years before He was born

Isaiah 53: 5-9

5 But he was wounded for our

transgressions, he was bruised for our

iniquities: the chastisement of our peace

was upon him; and with his stripes we

are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray;

we have turned every one to his own

way; and the LORD hath laid on him the

iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed, and he was

afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth:

he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,

and as a sheep before her shearers is

dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

8 He was taken from prison and from

judgment: and who shall declare his

generation? for he was cut off out of the

land of the living: for the transgression

of my people was he stricken.

9 And he made his grave with the

wicked, and with the rich in his death;

because he had done no violence,

neither was any deceit in his mouth.

How cool is this!?!?! This is an exact account of His crucifixion written AT Least 700 years before He was born (not sure exact amount of time.... not a Bible scholar....)

Apply this to your life: Why would you worry? God was able to let a prophet know how Jesus was going to die 700 years before He was born. He certainly knows YOUR future and has a plan for you.

Apply this to your writing: Let your characters have faith in God and know everything will work out okay.
