Right from the time of Noah to the time of the Christ, God had made a lot of promises to His children, the top promise on the list being an assured blessing to those who are obedient to Him. If you take a closer look at some of the Bible restoration promises that happened, you will realize that God was genuine about His promises to humankind. God still make promises to people until this day.
He cursed the womb of Eve, and said that the woman would be subjective to her husband. He cursed man and said that he would sweat all his life to get food to eat. You can imagine that just after He created life, the great King proclaimed death to the world, and since then, sin entered the world and the good relationship between God and man broke.
The first point in human history where God made a promise to restore humankind was at the time of Noah. God would have chosen to destroy the world, and life would no longer exist. Instead, he made a promise that He would restore the earth, and never again in heaven and earthly history destroy the world with such a big storm like he did.
Even after the first restoration, humankind kept sinning, grumbling, complaining and continuously going against the will of God. Evil has taken roots in human hearts, and so God made a law that would guide the people, gave it to Moses at Mount Sinai and instructed him to read to the people. The Ten Commandments would be a complete guide for a godly-driven life for every person in Israel.
When God made the decision that He was going to give His only one son Jesus to come and save the world, He was sure that it could be the only way to save the human race from destruction and loss. It was the only way to restore the broken relationship between God and humankind. This was the only way to show the world the love of a loving and kind King who sits on the heavenly throne.
Prophet Daniel further foretold of a king who would come and rule the earth. John the Baptist spoke of the Lamb of God to the people, and said that He would be greater and Baptize people with the Holy Spirit and fire. Prophet Joel spoke of the last days where God would pour out His spirit to men, and this would be the exact gift, which Christ would bring.
His birth, death and resurrection were all foretold events in Biblical history. Moses, David, Joel, Daniel and John the Baptist spoke about him and everything they said came to pass. His birth, life, betrayal, death and resurrection were all foretold. And when He rose from the dead, there was a joyous restoration of the broke relationship between God and humankind.
People would not be praying to God if they did not have an intimate relationship with him. They would not be hoping for a future kingdom of there was nothing as such. Today, you are a friend of God, and He is with you wherever you go.
