Messianic Prophecies


There are over 300 prophecies concerning the coming Messiah in the Old Testament. Can you imagine the odds of someone fulfilling ALL 300 prophecies? Even just fulfilling 8 predictions given over a period of thousands of years in one person would be a miracle. The odds of even 8 fulfilled would be one in ten to the seventeenth power. That is 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. Jesus fulfilled ALL 300 prophecies. Below are just a small example of the many prophecies of Jesus the Messiah.
