Hook: When did you last get frustrated repeating yourself to someone before the person finally understood?

Book: In this third prediction of His death and resurrection, Jesus made it clear that all the prophecies in the Old Testament about Him would come true. Even though the disciples still did not understand, it would be clear to them soon. The same guarantee applies to the unfulfilled prophecies concerning future events and the Lord’s return—they will come to pass as written. Unfortunately, too many people fail to believe what they read in the Bible.

Took: Why do many followers of Jesus basically ignore Bible prophecies? What was God’s purpose in being so emphatic about the future?
