We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Peter 1:19-21)
Jesus Christ has already fulfilled at least 333 prophecies the first time he came. Be sure, the rest concerning His Second Coming will be fulfilled! As Fred John Meldau said:
"Suppose that there were only 50 prophecies of the Old Testament (instead of 333), concerning the first advent of Christ, giving details of the coming Messiah, and all meet in the person of Jesus....the probability of chance fulfillment as calculated by mathematicians, according to the theory of probabilities is less than one in 1,125,000,000,000,000 (one quadrillion and one hundred twenty five trillion!!) Add two more elements to these 50 prophecies ( fixing the time and place where they must happen), and the immense improbability that they will take place by chance exceeds all the power of numbers to express (or the mind to grasp!)
This is enough to silence forever, one would think, all pleas for chance as furnishing an unbeliever the least opportunity to escape from the evidence of prophecy"- from Messiah in Both Testaments, recently reprinted, and now titled The Prophets Still Speak (available from Amazon.com).
