The Bible gives us a lot of promises to Christians that we can believe God for. Scholars estimate that the Bible contains over 7,000 promises made by God to humanity. Today, we want to talk about the prophecies that Jesus fulfilled Himself. This week we are celebrating Christmas and that God chose to send His one and only son Jesus to save humanity. We have a lot to celebrate. There are over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament that were fulfilled by Jesus. Today, we want to cover 7 of them. 7 Prophecies Fulfilled 1. Birth in Bethlehem 2. Virgin Birth 3. Lineage of David 4. Triumphal Entry 5. Betrayal for 30 Pieces of Silver 6. Crucifixion Details 7. Resurrection The probability of one person fulfilling all these prophecies by chance is considered astronomically low. Peter Stoner, a mathematician, attempted to calculate this in Science Speaks (1958). He focused on just 8 specific prophecies and estimated the chances of one person fulfilling them by chance to be 1 in 10¹⁷ (1 followed by 17 zeros). For context, that’s like covering the entire state of Texas with silver dollars two feet deep, marking one coin, and having someone pick it at random. When adding more prophecies (e.g., 48), the odds increase to 1 in 10¹⁵⁷, a number so vast it is essentially impossible. These figures highlight the belief among Christians that the fulfillment of these prophecies is evidence of divine intervention rather than coincidence. Jesus made the impossible, possible.
