This became the chief corner stone;
This came about from the Lord,
And it is marvelous in our eyes'?

Matthew 26:54
"How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?"

Mark 12:24
Jesus said to them, "Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?"

Mark 12:36
"David himself said in the Holy Spirit, 'THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET."'

2Pe 1:19
19 So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.
20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,
21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
