A Translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek

DEUTERONOMY 18:17-19 Acts 3:22-23 For Moses truly said to the fathers, "The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your

• brethren. Him you shall hear in all

things, whatever He says to you. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people."

Two Witnesses That The Books Of The Prophets Were Extant Prior To The Birth Of Jesus Christ

The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint and the prophecies found in them were produced by real people in real places. The words of the prophets point to a real person who died for your sins.
