or the distance of the sun from the earth . The situation is irretrievable .
Suppose a civilisation comes along that doesn ’ t believe in sin , or the transgression of spiritual law , and they say believe that the guilty party was justified . This would cause more and more chaos and havoc and victims are wondering however it all went this way , and what they have done to deserve this kind of suffering .
The same applies for any spiritual law broken , even that one about honouring the Sabbath Day and keeping it holy , because that is the only way the rest of the laws will be rehearsed and practised .
Now , I ’ m making the case that the Bible is the most accurately mathematical book in the whole world . You can see it easily when I break down the spiritual laws like this . But there is more proof that the Bible is the greatest book of mathematics and should be studied and obeyed religiously ( meaning wholeheartedly and enthusiastically ). That is the evidence of the prophets in the Bible . They knew and made available to us the very heart and mind of God . When we listen and comply , all goes well . When we arrogantly ignore Biblical prophecy , then unmanageable chaos ensues and we have to plead with God to fix it for us , as only He can .
PROPHECIES
There are a minimum of three hundred prophecies in the Old
Testament alone , concerning the advent of the Messiah and how people would be able to recognise Him when He arrived . It is mathematically impossible for one man to satisfy every single one of these prophecies – unless , perchance , He is the Messiah . He would be
1 . The issue of woman ( not man ) – Genesis 3:15
2 . Born of a virgin , no less – Isaiah 7:14
3 . Born in Bethlehem – Micah 5:2
4 . Called out of Egypt – Hosea 11:1
5 . Called a Nazarene – Matthew 2:23
6 . Pierced and cut off but not for Himself ( executed though declared innocent ) – Daniel 9:26
7 . He would appear 490 years after the command to rebuild the Jewish Temple ( He did appear , and on a donkey , no less ) – Daniel 9:24
8 . Priest after the order of Melchisedek ( eternal , not affected by death ) – Genesis 14:18
9 . Will bless all nations – Genesis 22:18
10 . Not a bone of His shall be broken – Exodus 12:46
11 . The prophetic act of lifting a serpent on a pole to save those bitten by a snake – Numbers 24:17
12 . David ’ s Seed – 2 Samuel 7:12
13 . Resurrection predicted – Job 19:23-27
14 . Declared the beloved Son – Psalm 2:7
15 . His body would not see corruption – Psalm 16:10
16 . He would rise from the dead – Psalm 16:9-11
17 . Darkness upon Calvary for three hours – Psalm 22:2
18 . They shoot out the lip and shake the head ( mockery ) – Psalm 22:7
19 . Blood poured out when they pierced His side – Psalm 22:12- 13
20 . Parted His garments and cast lots for it – Psalm 22:18
These are only twenty of the more obvious prophecies that were completely fulfilled by Jesus ; there are nearly 300 others . It has been estimated that this is about as likely as finding one marked coin with one attempt if all Texas were covered a foot deep in coins . In other words , there is absolutely NO CHANCE that Jesus was not what He claimed to be , namely the Son of God , the anointed Messiah and Saviour of the world .
You see , the Bible is the most mathematical construct the world has ever seen . Three hundred completed prophecies prove beyond any shadow of doubt who Jesus was .
