Full Version: Prophecy And Probability

I was reading in my devotional this morning, and it said that Isaiah, Micah, and many of the other prophets foretold many details of Jesus’ birth, life and death hundreds of years before they were fulfilled. The likelihood of these events occurring exactly as they were prophesied is too remote to explain away the phenomenon by calling it coincidence.

In Science Speaks, Peter Stoner applies the modern science of probability to just eight prophecies. He said, “The chance that any man might have . . . fulfilled all eight prophecies is one in ten to the seventh degree. That would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000.” Stoner said that if we took that many silver dollars and laid them across Texas, they would cover the state two feet deep!

Since Christ’s first coming was the exact fulfillment of many prophecies, we can expect the same of His second coming. ¾ D.J.D.

Bethlehem Ephrathah, . . . out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel. Micah 5:2

Prophecy is history written ahead of time.

my husband loves this kind of stuff, he tells his friends, some unsaved doc. and it blows their minds....cool!

It really is mind boggling to know the probability factors..that extends into the created world also for the fact is that the chances of a natural selection process accounting for all we see is up in the same magnitude of probability as those of the Lord. It just can't happen by chance.
