But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel, whose origins are in the distant past, will come from you on my behalf. Micah 5:2 NLT

This prophecy was penned by Micah, a minor prophet, hundreds of years before Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Peter Stoner, a mathematician decided to take just 48 of more than 324 Messianic prophecies and work out the probability of them all being fulfilled in one man. He discovered that the chance of one single man fulfilling only 48 prophecies found in the Old Testament is a 10 followed by 157 zeros. That is a mind-boggling number, far greater than I can comprehend. In fact, it could not be done unless, unless it was planned by God. Yet Jesus fulfilled more than 324 prophecies. It is evidence that no one can refute. Jesus was the Messiah. He stepped into time, right on time. He came to redeem mankind. He came to do that for you, because he loves you.
