In the Old Testament there are 160 major Messianic prophecies and approximately 270 minor related prophecies that were all filled in one Person, Jesus bar Joseph of Nazareth. Some of the best-known of these include: • His precise lineage; • the place, time, and manner of His birth; • the peoples reactions to His teaching; • His betrayal; • the manner of His death incuding no broken bones; • 30 pieces of silver from his betrayer buying a potters field; and • His resurrection from the dead. One noted Statistician, Dr. Peter Stoner of Pasadena College, calculated that one person fulfilling only 8 (not 430!) prophecies by chance is 1 in 1017 — thats one chance in 100,000,000,000,000,000! They then took it further and calculated that one person fulfillig 48 prophecies — almost one-tenth of all Messianic prophecies. The result: One man fulfilling 48 prophecies by chance is one chance in 10157 — or 10 with 157 zeros!!) But Jesus didnt fulfill 8 or even 48 prophecies. No! He fulfilled more than 400! It is a statistical impossibility — until we consider the divine nature of the Man and His divine appointment!
