Prophecy Thread of Week 32

MESSIAH TO BE IN THE EARTH THREE DAYS
There are many prophecies that Jesus could have seen in scripture and fulfilled them by knowing them. However, this one is not possible without the power of God. He predicted His death and resurrection time after time. This prophecy is given in picture format as well.
