Prophecies concerning the Christ 300  total prophecies that concern the Messiah’s first coming 108  distinct prophecies that concern the Messiah’s first coming All  fulfilled in the life of Jesus of Nazareth
What are the odds? Peter Stoner in Science Speaks calculates the odds of just  eight  prophecies being accidentally fulfilled in the life of one man.  1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000 (one hundred quadrillion: 10 17 ) Statisticians say anything past 1 to 10 50  power is no chance.  This is exceeded once  20 fulfilled prophecies is considered (and Jesus fulfilled 108).
Luke 7:19, 22 – “Summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, ‘Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?’ At that very time He cured many  people  of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many  who were  blind. And He answered and said to them, ‘Go and report to John what you have seen and heard:  the  blind receive sight,  the  lame walk,  the  lepers are cleansed, and  the  deaf hear,  the  dead are raised up,  the  poor have the gospel preached to them.’” John 10:25 – “The miracles I do in my Father’s name speak for Me.”
