Prophecy Thread of Week 49

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary Definition of Truth:
Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be. The truth of history constitutes its whole value. We rely on the truth of the scriptural prophecies.

TEMPLE TO BE REBUILT

After Nebuchadnezzar took Israel captive to Babylon he had Jerusalem destroyed as well as the temple. Israel returns to a difficult situation. Zechariah prophesied that they will succeed rebuilding the temple; and the project is completed within four years. Many of us face difficult situations today, but God is greater than any of them. He is able to do the impossible, and He will for you, if you will only believe Him.
