Inspired Because of Fulfilled Prophecy

There are more than 300 prophecies in the Old Testament about the first coming of the Messiah, but many of these are repetitious. When the repetitions are omitted, we are left with 108 specifically different prophecies, all of which were fulfilled in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

George Heron, a French mathematician, calculated that the odds of one man fulfilling only 40 of those prophecies are 1 in 10 to the power of 157. That is a 1 followed by 157 zeros. Compare it to this: your odds on winning the state lottery are 1 in 14,000,000.

No other religious book predicted the coming of its religious leader before he was born. Most books of religion were written by a leader who was propagating his teaching. But 4,000 years before Christ, God predicted His Son’s coming into the world when He confronted Adam and Eve after their sin.
