About this listen
The odds of Jesus fulfilling hundreds of Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah by chance are astronomically low, often citing work by scientist and statistical mathematician like Peter Stoner, who estimated that fulfilling even 8 specific messianic prophecies would be about 1 in 10171017, and then extrapolating that fulfilling dozens more would make the probability effectively zero; they especially emphasize prophecies such as a virgin birth linked to Isaiah 7:14, birth in Bethlehem from Micah 5:2, the “suffering servant” in Isaiah 52–53, details of crucifixion resonating with Psalm 22 (pierced hands and feet, lots cast for garments) and Zechariah 12:10 (being pierced yet with unbroken bones), and the thirty pieces of silver and betrayal imagery from Zechariah 11:12–13 as converging “miraculous” pointers that Jesus is the Messiah, while critics respond that these probability figures are not rigorously derived, that some texts may be vague, shaped by Gospel retelling, or originally meant something else, so whether this convergence counts as miraculous proof depends heavily on one’s prior view of the Bible’s inspiration and historical reliability.
