Here now is HMS Richards, the voice of prophecy. Speaker, his subject. He was the right man. Was he the right man? Was he the man predicted in the holy scriptures? Did he come at the right time and did he do the right things and die the right kind of a death? According to the scripture prophecies written centuries before we shall try to answer those questions regarding Jesus Christ. Great Rationalists like lucky and Renan have described Jesus as the ideal man. They have said that he never would be surpassed, but Christians go much farther than this. Christians like Nathaniel of Old speak to Jesus and say, thou art the son of God. Thou art the King of Israel. John 1 49, how do we know that Jesus was the right man? How do we know he was the son of God? First of all, he came at the right time. Our proof for this, the great 70 week prophecy of Daniel the ninth chapter. The 70 weeks were weeks not of mere days, but of years. This is easily proved by the prophecy itself. We are told that 69 of these weeks are 483 prophetic days or years would extend from the decree of the King of Persia to rebuild the city of Jerusalem and restore the Jewish people to their country from that decree to the Messiah or as we would say the Christ. Now since this decree according to history went forth in the autumn of 4 57 before Christ, this period of prophecy would extend to the autumn of the year Ad 27. Now turn to the New Testament here. We find that at that very time Jesus appeared in the banks of the Jordan River to demand baptism at the hands of his cousin John and begin his holy ministry. That this date was exceedingly important as intimated by the first two verses of the third chapter of Luke. Now in the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar Pontius Pilate being Governor Judea are the opening words followed by a long list of historical facts that nailed down the date we read that John came baptizing in the Jordan and that Jesus was baptized by him. Verse 21, then the voice from heaven saying, this is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased. Verse 22. At the same time, the Holy Ghost dissented in bodily form as a dove upon him. So Jesus of Nazareth was here anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power Acts 10 38, this anointing not with oil but with the Holy Spirit, mark the beginning of his public ministry. Immediately after his baptism, our savior began his proclamation of divine truth saying The time is fulfilled, the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel. Mark one 14, Jesus came on time, he said so himself, no man before or since could legitimately claim to be the true Christ. Prophecies penned under the inspiration of God centuries before were fulfilled in his appearance and his ministry. Not only so, but there are at least 24 prophecies written during the five centuries before. Well from 1000 to 500 BC before Christ portraying his trial death and burial and they were all literally fulfilled within the 24 hours of the day of his crucifixion. Here's a brief list of these prophecies. Now if you have a pencil, jot them down. The first Zechariah 1112, Jesus was to be sold for 30 pieces of silver, the exact fulfillment through Judas. The betrayer is brought to view in Matthew 26 14. Second privacy, Psalm 55, 12. He was to be betrayed by a friend. Judas was that friend, one of the 12 apostles, Matthew 26, Zechariah 13, seven, the third prophecy, a Waco sword against my shepherd, against the man that is my fellow set, the Lord of hosts or Jehovah of hosts. He is a man equal with God who is to be smitten. He's the shepherd and Jesus called himself the good shepherd. Fourth prophesy, Psalm 35 11. He was to be accused by false witnesses. The fulfillment of this, he is found in Matthew the 26th chapter and the 59th verse prophecy five. Isaiah 50, verse six. I gave my back to the smis. Jesus was smitten. He was spit upon this prophecy, said he would be. The fulfillment is Matthew 26 67. They did spit in his face and buffered him and smelled him with the palms of their hands. Isaiah 53 7, another prophecy. He was to be done before his accusers as a lamb. He would not open his mouth. The silence of Jesus at his trial is described in Matthew the 27th chapter. In the 12th verse, he said nothing because he took our place as a condemned criminal before the law of justice. He was treated as we deserve, that we might be treated as he deserve another prophecy. Isaiah 53, 5. He was wounded and bruised for our transgressions. We read that PIL scour Jesus and delivered him to be crucified. Matthew 27 26. Another prophecy is in Psalm 22, 16 written nearly a thousand years before Jesus stood before his accusers and here we find that they pierced my hands and my feet. That's the prophecy. This was fulfilled as we know, according to Luke 2333, when he was nailed to the cross, Isaiah 53 12, he was numbered with the transgressors or lawbreakers and so he was crucified with a thief on either side. Mark 1527 again, in Isaiah 53, verse 12, we are told that he prayed for his enemies. He made intercession for the transgressors and as we read Luke 2334, we find these words, father, forgive them for they know not what they do. Prophecy in Psalm 109, 20 fifth verse. He became also a reproach unto them. When they looked upon me, they shaked their heads and sure enough, when the Savior was on the cross, we read in Matthew 27 39, they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads. Again, we turn back to the 22nd Psalm, which is often called a Psalm of sobs, as though a man were sobbing out his life upon the cross, he trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him, let him deliver him, seeing he light us in him. That's the prophecy written a thousand years before. What happened, Matthew 27 41, he saved others. The chief priest cried himself. He cannot save. Let him come down now from the cross. Let him God deliver him if he'll have him. The very words predicted, and surely these men were not trying to fulfill a prophecy for one they hated. The 13th prophecy is found in Psalm 2217. I may tell all my bones, they look and stare upon me. Luke 2335, we read it. The people stood beholding or staring again in the 18th verse. His garments were parted and lots were cast. John 1923 describes it. The four soldier guards divided his garments and when they came to his seamless robe, they cast lots for it rather than teart. Psalm 22, 1, Christ's cry up upon the cross, his foretold, my God, my God, who has forsaken me. Read the full thumbed. In Matthew 27, in Psalms 69, 21, we have a prophecy that they would give him gaul and vinegar to drink as an act of mercy to deaden his pain and this was fulfilled as we read in math or John 8, 19 28, in Psalm 31, 5, we find a prophecy that he would commit himself to God into th hand. I commit my spirit and these very words were said by our Lord upon the cross. Luke 2346, Psalm 38 11 predicts that his friends and acquaintances would stand far off at the time of his crucifixion. In Luke 2349, it is written and all his acquaintance and the women that followed him from Galilee stood up far off beholding these things. In Psalm 34 20, it was declared, he keepeth all my bones. Not one of them is broken and turning to the gospel of John the 19th chapter in the 31st verse, we read that when they came and saw that Jesus was dead already, the soldiers did not break his legs. In this wonderful 22nd psalm, we find that Jesus was to die of a broken heart. This was fulfilled according to the prophecy of scripture in amo, the eight chapter in the ninth verse, there shall be darkness over all the land, and so there was for about three hours from noon till three o'clock, Matthew 27 45. Last of all, we noticed that Jesus was to be buried in a rich man's tomb. He made his grave with a wicked and with a rich in his death. Isaiah 53, 9 and Joseph of Aramathea, a rich man buried him in his own tomb. Matthew, the 27th chapter. There are many other prophecies about Jesus literally fulfilled in his life and ministry, his resurrection and ascension, but here are enough to convince any thoughtful heart. He was the right man. He was the son of God. He came at the right time. He did the right things. He fulfilled the prophecies. On the day of his death sometime ago I was speaking at a great camp near Oman, New Zealand. In the course of the sermon I mentioned George Lee Mallory, the great mountain clamor, who with his tipperton friend and God had just conquered Mount Everest. When I said he was a great English climber, I noticed a smile sweep over the audience wondered what was wrong. Soon I discovered that this great mountaineer was born and grew up on a farm only a mile or two from the spot where I was preaching. They considered him one of their own, not an Englishman, but a New Zealander. He was right there among them. He belonged to them. It was reported that one day a frivolous young woman said to Mallory, why must you risk your life trying to climb that awful mountain quick as a flashy retarded because it's there and my friends, whatever we think about Jesus Christ, he's there. He's facing us every day. The evidence proved that he's the right man. He came as God said, he would come. He came when God said he would come. He is the son of God and the son of man. He is our redeemer if we will have him. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believers in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Will you not believe on him now, trust in him now and receive him today. If you could see Christ standing here today, could see thatam with hands on and you Jesus, he would you Jesus, if you could see that face, so calm and sweet, those only and in his tender feet, and will you. Will you believe In Jesus? Receive now. He will. You believe in Jesus. Receive May the Lord richly bless you as you continue to look up ever going forward in faith. Have faith in God and in the man he chose. Have faith in God. He lived, he died, he rose. Have faith in God through every wind that blows. Have faith to dear friend in God. Friends, this has been a wonderful soul saving year for the voice of prophecy. We have never had more interest shown in our broadcasts or more reports of souls, redeemed of sinners reclaimed of Christians strengthened. We thank God for this and thank you for your support right through the year. Let me remind you now near the close of the year that we need to hear from all of our friends.

Give us some encouragement in a good letter right away and now we say to everyone that we hope this program of ours is served to give you a blessing for this week, and we invite you to join us again next week for another broadcast brought to you by the voice of prophecy. We say now to one and to all the Lord bless the and keep the the Lord make his faith shine upon the and be gracious unto the the Lord. Lift up his countenance upon the, and give the peace.
