Ironclad Proof of Prophecy

An Amazing Fact: In AD 31, Jesus stunned His disciples by predicting that before a generation (40 years) passed, the Jewish temple—their revered national centerpiece—would be so utterly demolished that not one stone would stand upon another. In AD 70, right on time, it all came to pass when the Romans sacked Jerusalem. The heat from the fires in the temple was so intense, all the gold melted into the cracks of the temple stone … forcing the soldiers to topple them all to recover the precious metal!


Jesus’ foretelling of the destruction of the temple is but one of hundreds of Bible prophecies that have been dramatically fulfilled.

Bible prophecy is infinitely more dependable than tarot cards or the predictions of spiritualists. In fact, the Bible actually goes beyond outlining major events of history; it boldly foretells even the precise “little” details that could never be guessed—like the stones of the temple all being toppled.

But why does God foretell the future? Because it demonstrates that we really can trust He knows all things, and this gives us an ironclad reason to also believe in Jesus’ loving plan to save us. “Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He” (John 13:19).

I believe we must leverage this incredible evidence to save lives for Jesus Christ!

The Power of Prophecy
People are naturally intrigued by prophecy.

If I began to predict what stocks would go up and down and who would win various sporting events for the next few years, you’d start to question my sanity, wouldn’t you? Unless all my predictions started coming true. Then even the most skeptical would sit up, pay attention, and admit something strange, almost supernatural, was occurring. Just imagine it: Every stockbroker and sports bookie would be at my door!

That’s the power of prophecy. It tells people there is a plan, a higher power who oversees all time, proving there really is a purpose for our lives. Yet tragically, people don’t seem to take notice. Why? Mostly because they just don’t know!

People are generally oblivious to this staggering truth. From the precise time prophecies of Daniel to the Messianic fulfillments in the Gospels, people are being blinded to the astonishing dependability of Bible prophecy—and they are being deceived by skeptics who claim all the prophecies were simply made up after the fact.

You and I can help change this tragic spiritual blindness into countless victories for God’s kingdom. We can show hopeless souls the ironclad proof of Bible prophecy, and it will transform their lives!

The One Who Knows The Future?
You obviously know many people who are genuinely apprehensive about their future. They see no clear purpose for their lives. No wonder in this age of compounding crises—mass shootings, super storms, terrorism, and pestilence—more souls than ever are being treated for anxiety disorders!

But in Isaiah 42, the Lord declares, “Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things I declare before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Isn’t it incredible to know that God knows your future with perfect clarity? It means He can see you through it all. It’s a very secure feeling to be in the hands of someone who loves you so much that He sent His son to die for you, isn’t it?

We need to share this same salvation with the multiplied millions who have no idea such prophecy exists. We can help bring them peace! So to defeat the enemy of truth, Amazing Facts is going to create a new documentary about the staggering proof of prophecy.

Our working title is 50 Amazing Prophecies That Prove the Bible Is True! And I believe with all my heart it will be one of our most powerful, crucial, and life-changing witnessing resources we’ve ever created!

Purpose of Prophecy
This is going to be a resource that speaks to both Christians and skeptics you might know. It will show your loved ones how the huge expanse of Bible prophecy has been fulfilled exactly as God foretold.

Did you know the Bible records at least 1,815 distinct prophecies—spanning more than 8,000 verses? And the vast majority have already come true! Let’s just consider a few of them here ...

Messiah born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2) — Fulfilled in Luke 2:4–6
Would teach in parables (Psalm 78:2–4) — Fulfilled in Matthew 13:10–15
Hands pierced (Psalm 22:16) — Fulfilled in John 20:25–27
Soldiers gambled for clothing  (Psalm 22:18) — Fulfilled in Luke 23:34

Let’s also not forget that Jesus predicted His message would go to the whole world. Pretty bold for a mere itinerant preacher, right? But it came true!

Of course, we’ll also include the many convincing prophecies of Daniel. The destruction of Nineveh, Tyre, and Babylon. Yes, we’re going to cover the big prophecies all the way down to the amazing details. It will be jaw-dropping!

We’ll also show with new footage how history and archaeology, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, confirms that these prophecies were written down long before they came to pass. “For I am God, … declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things that are not yet done” (Isaiah 46:9, 10).

Imagine what this resource will do in the hands of faithful Christians sharing it with friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers. This unflinching evidence will lead viewers to trust in the prophecies that still remain to be fulfilled! We’ll then invite viewers to sign up to study the Bible’s teachings, which will ultimately lead to many decisions for Jesus.

There is no better time to deliver this very message to people in a world facing such uncertainty. Prophecy does so much for thirsty spiritual lives: It warns the lost and it strengthens the faithful (Matthew 2:4, 5; John 13:19).

The Ultimate Purpose
Our ultimate goal for 50 Amazing Prophecies has everything to do with the ultimate message—redemption. The reason that God reveals the future is not so you will know when to flee for the hills. It’s actually about Jesus and leading people into a trusting, loving relationship with Him (Luke 24:27).

I’ve always believed given adequate time and a Bible, I can convince any honest seeker that the Bible is true based on the astonishing fulfillment of its prophecies. I used to be an atheist who thought God’s Word was nothing but fables, but when I discovered how all the Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah were written long before His time yet were perfectly fulfilled in Jesus, I could not deny it.

And if the Bible is right about the when, the where, the how, and the why, we can also trust that it is right about the Who. Jesus is the only way to the Father. Oh, friend, this will change lives.

The peace you can bring a soul with this new DVD is profound. “The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my word will never pass away” (Matthew 24:35). It will tell them you can bank your life on Him and His Word.

The Impact of Prophecy
In just one year, a million people have seen our Revelation: The Bride, the Beast & Babylon documentary. Millions more around the world have seen Final Events. And lives have changed radically as a result of your support in the past. Jimmy writes, “I bought copies of Revelation to give out to friends from many denominations, and they loved it. Many didn’t know this history—they were blessed!”

Using the highest production quality, we’ll make a convincing argument for God’s Word that will also be convicting. This is our next big witnessing resource! We’ll even air this powerful documentary on television to reach people in their homes with unforgettable Bible truth.

But to write, develop, produce, film, edit, and distribute a feature of this spiritual magnitude will require significant additional resources—$450,000. While that can seem like a lot, remember that it will touch millions of lives for Jesus. It will also help us offer this new DVD at sharing prices, so churches, Bible workers, and you can use it in massive or personal outreach efforts!

Will you prayerfully ask the Lord what He would have you give this year-end season? I guarantee that your investment today, of whatever amount God calls you to give—whether it’s $10, $100, or $1,000 or more—will not only help Amazing Facts produce this new resource, it will help us continue to reach people with God’s Word through television, radio, the Internet, and beyond.

As the world is now absorbed in the Christmas season and exchanging trivial gifts, you can give a gift that will really make a difference. It will bring Jesus into their hearts and translate into eternal life. Thank you for your support and seeking first the kingdom!

Your faithfulness means the world to me,
