"If you
bet there is no God and you win, you win
nothing, but if you lose, you
lose everything.
If you bet there is a God and you win, you
win everything, and if you lose, you lose
nothing. Rationally
speaking, God is the best bet".

The Mathematical Odds
of Jesus Fulfilling Old Testament
Prophecy,are
Amazing!
"The following probabilities are
taken from Peter Stoner in Science Speaks
(Moody Press, 1963) to show that
coincidence is ruled out by the science
of probability. Stoner says that by using
the modern science of probability in
reference to eight prophecies, ‘we
find that the chance that any man might
have lived down to the present time and
fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 in 1017."
That would be 1 in
100,000,000,000,000,000. In order to help
us comprehend this staggering
probability, Stoner illustrates it by
supposing that "we take 1017
silver dollars and lay them on the face
of Texas. They will cover all of the
state two feet deep. Now mark one of
these silver dollars and stir the whole
mass thoroughly, all over the state.
Blindfold a man and tell him that he can
travel as far as he wishes, but he must
pick up one silver dollar and say that
this is the right one. What chance would
he have of getting the right one? Just
the same chance that the prophets would
have had of writing these eight
prophecies and having them all come true
in any one man."
Stoner
considers 48 prophecies and says,
"we find the chance that any one man
fulfilled all 48 prophecies to be 1 in 10157,
or 1 in
10,00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
000,000,000."

22 Old Testament Bible
Prophecy references fullfilled in the life of
Jesus Christ!

The following article
is an extract from the web site "Tribulation
Forces", http://www.tribulationforces.com/ It is
so clear and to the point that
I wanted others to see it presented in "stand
alone" format. I strongly recommend that you go
to their web site for more information on the
prophetic material from the scriptures. (The scripture references are not live links
to the text. However, the two links at the close of
the article, "Rapture" and "Mystery
Years" are live links to Tribulation Force's
excellant extensive descriptions.)
"Did you know that almost 30% of the Bible is
prophetic in nature? More so, did you know that many
of these prophecies have yet to be fulfilled? A lot
of churches give only basic lip service to the
prophecies of the Bible, I believe that they are
doing their congregation a disservice. Most of the
prophecies that have yet to be fulfilled deal with
the End Times and the coming rise of the Antichrist
and the Judgements of God.
One thing I want to make clear, this is in no way
an attempt to put a date on the End Times. Scripture
clearly points out to us to NOT try.
Of the day and hour no one knows, no not even
the angels in heaven, but My Father only. <Matthew 24:36>
It is not for you to know times or seasons
which the Father has put in His own authority.
<Acts 1:7>
So, know that, anyone who tries to put an exact
date on the End Times and the Return of Christ is
wrong. BUT, the Lord did say that we can know the
general time of His coming if we are aware of events
and are mindful of the signs. Again, I want to make
clear that in no way am I saying that the Rapture and
the Second Coming will occur in our generation, but I
do believe the time is growing near and COULD occur.
There are two periods that Jesus taught about the
end of times. During the first period we will
experience the "birth pangs" <Matt
24-25>, <Mark
13>, and <Luke
21> which are setting the stage, so to speak
of things to come. The second period will be the
actual "signs" of the end. Here are the
"birth pangs" (again, NOT signs of the
end):
Israel becomes a country again. <Ezek 11:14-18> In 1948 Israel became a
nation again for the first time in 1500 years. In
1967 after the 6-Day War, Israel regained control of
Jerusalem.
Many people will claim to be the Christ (the
Messiah) <Matt 24:3>
Since 1900
alone there have been over 1100 public
figures claiming to be Christ.
Among them Sun
Myung Moon, Maharaj Ji and countless others.
People will be
decieved by these fakers. Wars and
Rumors of wars, revolutions.
Since World War
II there have been over 170 limited scope
conflicts. Famines, earthquakes,
pestilences.
Billions of
people go to bed hungry each night. Just view
the happenings in Africa.
The number of
earthquakes has increased in both numbers and
intensity within the last 30 years. From 1960
to 1979 there were over 64 earthquakes
measuring over 6.0 on the richter scale. From
1980 to present there have been over 200.
Compared to even the early 1900s when there
was only 8 in a 30 year period. Nations
and kingdoms at war.
It seems that
on any given day somewhere in the world there
is an ongoing armed conflict. Believers
in Christ persecuted and killed.
The persecution
of Christians has been ongoing throughout
history. Of late the numbers of Christians
persecuted and martyred has increased. Look
at the "cleansing" in Indonesia and
the Sudan. Believers will witness
of Jesus to kings and governers.
Believers will be hated due to loyalty to
Christ.
Many will turn away from the faith and
betray others.
With the advent
of Humanism and Occult Religions many have
rejected the Word of God.
Betrayals by
parents, brothers, relatives, friends.
False prophets
will decieve many people. Increase
in wickedness, causing love to grow cold.
To me this
points out the increased availability of
pornography and violence in the popular media
and movies. What impact may this have on the
psyche of anyone? Fearful events
and signs from heaven.
Keeping in mind
the writers were from the 1st century
consider the advent of Supersonic Transports
and Space travel to include landing on the
moon and how those writers might view those
events. The rise of the Revived
Roman Empire (European Union) <Dan
7> <Rev 17:10>
An increase in knowledge. <Dan 12:4>
The increase in
technology has enhanced the availability of
resources. High speed computers and the
Internet provides accessibility to endless
information. Increased global
mobility. <Dan 12:4>
We are a mobile
society. Planes, trains and automobiles allow
us to move distances in days and even hours
that years ago would have taken months or may
not have been possible. This brings
us to the actual "signs" (Please
note that these are not in any specific
order):
Jerusalem surrounded by armies and Russia and
her allies attack Israel <Ezek
38-39>
Jesus will appear in the sky, the trumpet
will sound.
Angels will gather God's elect.
Believers will be snatched away (click here,
live link) <The
Rapture> and those who are not ready
will be left behind. It is obvious that
the invasion by Russia and the Rapture are
the two primary end times events. What is not
obvious is which occurs first, and an
argument can be made both ways. What follows
these first two events are
"stage-setting" events leading to
and then finally the Tribulation. The (click
here, live link) <7
Mystery Years> discusses these in a
bit more detail.
The rise of the Antichrist. <Rev
11 & 13>
The two witnesses. <Rev
11>
The 144,000 Jewish evangelists. <Rev
7>
The 7 Seal Judgements. <Rev
6>
The 7 Trumpet Judgements. <Rev
8-10>
The desecration of the Temple. <2 Thes 2:4> <Dan 9:27> <Dan 11:36>
The Mark of the Beast. <Rev
13>
The 7 Vial (or Bowl) Judgements. <Rev
16>
The Second Coming of Christ. <Rev
20> "
