Messianic Prophecies - What Are The Odds Of
Fulfillment?
Messianic Prophecy is so powerful because of the statistical odds that one man would
fulfill every single one of them. If we just analyze seven of the more specific prophecies in the Old Testament, that were
later fulfilled in the Person of Yashua, we are stunned by the statistical impossibility of such an historical reality. As
an illustration we have inserted some conservative "odds" alongside seven established prophecies.
