Priceless Precious Prophesy      

The Bible says, “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.” 2 Peter 1:16 (KJV)

Why do we celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus? Because He is the very Son of God, the gift of God to the entire world that we might be forgiven of our sins and be made fit for heaven? how can we know these things? By what authority have we veracity of the Word of God? It comes by that which separates the Word of God from all other religious works ever penned or published: Prophesy fulfilled!

In his book, Science Speaks, Peter Stoner applies the modern science of probability to just eight prophecies regarding Christ. He says, “The chance that any man might have ...fulfilled all eight prophecies is one in 10 to the 17th. That would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000.” (one hundred quadrillion).

Stoner suggests that “we take 10 to the 17th silver dollars and lay them on the face of Texas. They will cover all of the state 2 feet deep. Now mark one of these silver dollars and stir the whole mass thoroughly... Blindfold a man and tell him he can travel as far as he wishes, but he must pick up [that one marked silver dollar.] What chance would he have of getting the right one?”

Stoner concludes, “Just the same chance that the prophets would have had of writing those eight prophecies and having them all come true in any one man,...providing they wrote them in their own wisdom.”

Praise the Lord for His most precious gift to mankind today on Christmas and through time and eternity! Merry Christmas!
