The Bible is a book containing hundreds of detailed prophecies.  There are, for example, well over 60 distinct predictions in regard to our divine Savior Jesus Christ.

 

A scientist picked out 48 such prophecies and determined that the probability of one man randomly fulfilling the all is 1 in 10 to the exponent 157.  That is one followed by 157 zeros!  Yet, Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies! 

 

Today, the only way Bible scoffers can explain away this astronomical probability is to discredit the prophecies in one way or another.  Their only alternative is to accept that God is the author of the Scriptures.  The Bible is a reliable book of genuine divine prophecy.  You can trust it!

 

“We constantly thank God that when you received from us the word of God’s message, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God.” 

 -1 Thessalonians 2:13
