How do I accept death?
Hello Achim Van Staa!
So, as a Jehovah’s Witness, I believe in the Resurrection.Jesus Christ raised the dead and thus prophetically showed what He will do in the next thousand years of His reign.
There is only one founder of religion who, by an exact and detailed prophecy that was fulfilled in him, has declared himself to be coming from God: Jesus Christ

Prophecy Fulfillment
Hebrew Scriptures Christian Scriptures
BORN FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH
Genesis 49/10 Mat.1/1,2
All the kings of Judah from David to the last, Zedekiah, came from the tribe of Judah; from Babylonian exile to the appearance of the Messiah, there was no longer a Judean king, only governors of the respective ruling world power.The one “to whom it belongs” was supposed to appear at the beginning of the first century, but not yet appear as an incumbent regent; he was first to act as a Redeemer.
BORN IN BETHLEHEM
Mica 5/2 Mat.2/1
There were two Bethlehem in Palestine, hence the clarification of the prophet “Bethlehem-Ephratha”.An important indication of the Prophet is that the expected Messiah has a pre-human existence.
BORN OF A VIRGIN
Jess:7/14 Mat.1/22,23
CHILDREN’S MURDER
Jer:31/15 Mat.2/17,18
Matthew certainly wrote down the historical truth.Critics doubt the historicity of this event, because there is no archaeological confirmation, which in itself proves nothing; it has often been the case that historians have been reluctant to report the indecency of rulers.

How does this prophecy be explained; if not by God?And this prophecy is one of many. Smart minds think they were written down retrospectively. This interpretation is refuted by the fact that the Jews who do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah also have them in their Bible.
