"Throughout the Old Testament,
there were more than three hundred predictions concerning the Messiah
that were fulfilled in the birth, life, death and resurrection of Christ.
What would be the odds of one person fulfilling those prophecies by chance?
The number is so astronomical, that it puts chance out of the picture.
In his book Science Speaks, Peter Stoner estimates the odds of one person
fulfilling just eight of these Messianic prophecies as being one in ten
to the seventeenth power. How overwhelming is this probability?
Stoner illustrates this by "supposing that we take ten to the seventeenth
power silver dollars and lay them on the face of Texas. They will cover 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 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 come true in any one man, from their day to the present time.
It is clear that chance had nothing to do with the fulfillment of these three hundred predictions.
It is also important to note that the design spelled out in prophecy was far beyond any one person's ability
to control. From the place of the Messiah's birth to the amount of money
offered for His betrayal, we find factors that were out of any person's ability to arrange.
Jesus could not by chance or by His own personal effort
have fulfilled those three hundred predictions. It had to be by God's design."
