Resolved: There are no messianic prophecies that can be attributed to Jesus

Prophecy A: Joel Chapter 2: The Day of the LORD 28 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. 30 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. 32 And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, even among the survivors whom the LORD calls. We have scientific evidence that any layperson can discover with the “Starry Night” software (only $250). (Watch entire video series it directly discuss events at the cross, it is short video series.) http://www.youtube.com... This mans work has been reviewed by accredited scientific astronomy scholars and theologians alike. http://www.bethlehemstar.net... Though the Numbers 24:17 prophecy is also discussed the focus will be the Joel Prophecy. Here are the details that are only filled in Jesus and were used to prove that Jesus was the Messiah throughout the first century. - This blood moon occurred during the Passover feast. - The date of Jesus’ death at Passover in April (Nissan) 33 A.D. This is the only Passover that has a lunar eclipse with a blood moon as prophesied in Joel of the “Great Day of the Lord”. - An earthquake that also tore the veil of the Temple accompanied this blood moon, which rose during a time of darkness for everyone to witness, this blood moon. - Below I will quote Julias Africanus from a writing in 220 A.D. that shows this was a Roman documented historical occurrence. "On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness, and the rocks were rent by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down. This darkness Thallus, in the third book of his History, calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun." Julius Africanus, Chronography, 18.1 in Roberts, Alexander and James Donaldson, ed. Ante-Nicene Christian Library: Translations of the Writings of the Fathers. Vol. 1 Edingburgh: T & T Clark, 1867. We see three things confirmed here: - Thallus’ historical recordings from 200 A.D. compile the historical Roman records and confirm the (signs on earth) earthquake and darkness. - Due to Kepler’s mathematics and computer software we can confirm that indeed a blood moon rose that evening of Jesus’ death. The events following: - Directly recorded for us in Acts Chapter 2, Peter states the prophecy of Joel was witnessed by them all and fulfilled in Jesus. They were there for the Passover events and they saw the signs in the sky, the darkness and they all knew the prophecy. - The supernatural fire over the disciples revealing the “pouring” out of God’s spirit was the next step in the prophecy. - 3,000 Jews who were complicit in the killing of Jesus prior to the signs in the sky, converted on the spot. - This also verifies an early date for this event in Acts, as no one needed to be explained “what blood moon?” No further details needed to be given to the readers or the audience that Peter was speaking to. Everyone saw the blood moon. Until the advent of Kepler’s work (who also searched for these astrological events) and computers we could not confirm this. Now we have. It is clear that Jesus fulfilled this prophecy: Is it mere coincidence that at Jesus’ death, whom is claimed to be the Messiah we have a blood moon, darkness over most of the Roman Empire and an earthquake? Would God have allowed the prophecy of Joel to come fulfilled for a fraud? Could this have possibly been coincidence? Luck? Could all of this come together by mere chance? Prophecy B: Jesus himself directly attributes Psalm 22 to himself by quoting the first line “My God, My God why have you forsaken me.” while on the cross dieing. - He is believed to have quoted the entirety of the psalm while on the cross for all of the spectators that were mocking him. - All Jews knew the scripture and that it was messianic. They also saw that everything was fulfilled in Jesus. (Earliest Jewish Manuscript shows Messianic interpretation 8th century midrash, Pesikta Rabbati – suffering Messiah- Dr. Michael Brown) The events described in Psalm 22 are mirrored within the events of the crucifixion. (Matthew 27:45-46) http://carm.org... -We know the psalm is Messianic as that David never underwent the torture described. -We know that it is attributed to Jesus due to the fulfillment of all of the details were specific to Jesus’ crucifixion. -To deny this would be to contend that all of the early Jewish converts to Messianic worship, that were alive at the time and witnessed the events surrounding Jesus’ ministry were morons. Conclusion: I do not feel the need to debate any more than these two. The two above can be confirmed to be directly and only fulfilled by Jesus himself. It would be highly unlikely that God would allow someone to fulfill these prophecies to such a degree that was a fraud. Jesus is the Messiah.
