The Surest Word!
"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are
little among the thousands of Judah, yet out
of
you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler
in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old,
from everlasting."
Micah 5: 2
There are
60 major prophecies in the Old Testament
concerning the first coming of Jesus Christ. In the book
Science Speaks, Peter Stoner and Robert Newman
calculated the odds of any one man in all of human
history fulfilling only 8 of those prophecies to be
1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000.
They compared those odds to covering the state of
Texas two feet deep in silver dollars, then sending a
blindfolded man into Texas to pick out one marked
silver dollar.
Jesus didn’t fulfill only 8 of the 60 Old
Testament
prophecies—He fulfilled all 60! The odds of that
happening are astronomical unless it was the
plan of God.
Prophet Micah prophesied that Jesus would
be born in the tiny, rural suburb of Jerusalem
called Bethlehem. He was. Fulfilled prophecy
assures us that Jesus Christ is the One God
sent to save us from our sins.
Faith in Christ is not a leap in the dark.
It is faith based on God’s sure word of
fulfilled prophecy (2 Peter 1:19).
"No Bible subject holds more
practical implications than
the matter of prophecy."
