IMPOSSIBLE


Think about this. Math is an absolute, though many must deny the existence of absolutes in order to make morals relative, but that is a whole other topic. The accuracy of the Biblical prophecies is 100% to date. That being said, any rational person could deduce that the rest of the unfulfilled prophecies in the Bible would inevitably come to pass at the same accuracy percentage.

Just the 332 distinct prophecies of the life of the Messiah being fulfilled in one man is near mathematically impossible. The odds are 1/840,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (That's ninety-seven zeroes!) Since math is a concrete truth, we might as well consider it impossible for a single man to fulfill all 332 prophecies. However, Jesus of Nazareth did just that. Think about that for a moment. Jesus is God, and He CHOSE the nails.

This is an astronomical figure, but all 332 prophecies are absolutely fulfilled in the life of Jesus Christ. You know what? God is absolutely sovereign. It is always plan A, He never fails, He doesn’t readjust. When the Bible tells us He repents and so on, it is written to explain to us how it might look like but it was never a change of God’s mind. He is sovereign from the beginning to the end.

And so my friends, this is the plan of God. It is sovereign. You are not a victim of cruel fate, of misfortune, of bad luck. You are in the safe hands of the sovereign all-wise and good God. Our Lord God Omnipotent reigns. This is the God we worship and as you see the way He ministers, you see the way He works in the nation of Israel. Rejoice! He is sovereign, He has a plan.
