The Lord Jesus Christ is the focus of
prophecy because HISTORY is HIS STORY.
The Coming of MESSIAH was prophesied in
great detail thousands of years before the birth of Christ . Literally hundreds
of prophecies were required to be fulfilled by the One who laid claim to the
title.
To fulfil just eight of them by
chance or coincidence has is practically impossible. The probability has been
estimated as one in ten to the seventeenth power, i.e. one with seventeen
zeros. This is a number so big that we cannot even begin to comprehend it.
Imagine an area the size of the London being covered two
feet deep in Euro coins. Somewhere out there in the middle of those coins is
one with a red dot on it. Imagine a blindfolded person being given only once
chance to pick up the marked coin. That will give you some idea of the
improbability of the situation.
Jesus Christ fulfilled all of these
prophecies in minute detail, bringing the odds to an even more impossible
number.
No one could have organised that, but God
Himself. Not only did Christ fulfill hundreds of prophecies relating to the
events of His First Coming to earth, but He is about to fulfill many more with
His Return. What an exciting event to look forward to. He is Lord and Messiah
indeed.
