The Rock - A Jerry Dirmann Podcast

Can you prove Jesus is the Messiah? This Christmas sermon presents 4,000 years of Old Testament prophecies—written centuries before Jesus was born—that were fulfilled with stunning precision. The evidence is overwhelming, but the choice is yours.When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary with an impossible announcement, he wasn't starting something new. God had been predicting the Messiah's coming since Genesis 3:15, 4,000 years earlier. The virgin birth, the birthplace, the tribe, the crucifixion details, even the exact timing—all prophesied long before Jesus arrived.In this message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann takes you on a chronological journey through biblical prophecy:4000 BC - Genesis 3:15: The "seed of the woman" will crush the serpent's head1975 BC - Genesis 49:10: The scepter shall not depart from Judah1000 BC - Psalm 22:1, 16, 18: "My God, why forsaken me?" Pierced hands and feet, garments divided740 BC - Isaiah 7:14: The virgin shall conceive and bear a son called Emmanuel740 BC - Isaiah 53:5-6: Wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities740 BC - Micah 5:2: Born in Bethlehem, but "from everlasting"600 BC - Daniel 9:25: Precise timing from decree to rebuild Jerusalem to Messiah's comingEvery single prophecy? Fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth. The mathematical probability of one person fulfilling just 8 prophecies by chance? 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000 (100 quadrillion). Jesus fulfilled over 300.

In an age of advanced technology and artificial intelligence, it's easy to depend on human eloquence and wisdom. But only the power of God can truly change lives, deliver us from bondage, heal our bodies, and restore our families. This message will equip you to flow in the supernatural gifts of the Spirit that are available to every believer "for the profit of all" (1 Corinthians 12:7).Learn the critical distinction between praying in tongues (available to all Spirit-filled believers anytime) and the gift of tongues (a manifestation given "as He wills").
