Comment

This is another isolated event that was predicted in 520-512 B.C. It came true in A.D. 33, when a soldier thrust his spear into the side of Jesus to ensure that Jesus was dead before the Sabbath started at 6 pm. Little did he realize that Jesus was already dead (John 19:30) and that he was fulfilling a 480-year-old prophecy from Zechariah.
