The reason God gave us the 31 prophecies that have been presented
at this web site is to help us identify the Messiah. It is estimated
that there were 250 million people alive in the world in A.D.
33 - the year Jesus died. This means that one male out of the
250 million people in A.D. 33 would have had to die that year
by crucifixion, be of Jewish descent from King David, be born
in Bethlehem, have been a teacher using parables, healed others
and performed miracles. He would have had to ride into Jerusalem
on a donkey, been rejected by the leaders and then died four days
later with no broken bones but with pierced feet, hands and side
during absolute darkness. This individual would have had to die
during one unique week - the predicted week.
The probability of all of this happening to one single male, is

To illustrate, lets start with an American coin, a dime, which is approximately, 3/4 inch in diameter and 1/16 inches high.

Now imagine that someone takes the earth and hollows it out and
starts filling it with dimes. He/she would need to fill 10 earths
full of dimes to represent all of the chances associated with
these prophecies. Next let us paint one of the dimes red. Now,
the probability that one person fulfilled all of these prophecies
by chance would be the same as one blindfolded person picking
that one red dime the first time.
Yet, history and the Bible show us that these things are all true
of Jesus. The prophecies tell us that Jesus is the Messiah - He
is God. |
