The prophecies concerning the Messiah: 108 distinct prophecies concerning the first coming of Messiah. All done in the life of Jesus of Nazareth
1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000 (one hundred quadrillion): 10/17
What are the odds determined Peter Stoner in his book Science speaks of just eight prophecies being accidentally fulfilled in the life of a man. Statisticians say anything past 1 to 10/50 power is not chance. This value is exceeded Once 20 prophecies is considered completed (and Jesus fulfilled 108).
The symbolism of Christ in Scripture:
The acacia wood = humanity of Christ.
The overlay of gold = His divinity.
Right inside the Ark = Jesus with the law of God in his heart.
The pot of manna = Jesus as the Bread of Life.
Aaron's rod that budded = Resurrection.
The propitiatory = The work Jesus on the cross covers the Law of God in his mercy.
Two angels on Ark = Two angels seated at the head and foot of the square in Christ the propitiatory perfect.
Just as the ark was designed to be a symbol of God's presence among His people, Jesus is the expression ultimate of God's love and care and presence. He is our Ark It is our law. It is our manna. It is our Budded Rod. And thank you God, it is our Mercy Seat. Extra-biblical Writings of Jesus:
-Nero substituted as culprits and punished with the utmost refinement of cruelty a class hated men vices that the crowd called Christians. Christus, from whom they derive their name, had been executed by sentence of the procurator Pontius Pilate when Tiberius was emperor.-Tacitus (Roman historian), Annals, Book 15.
"They were in the habit of meeting certain fixed day before dawn, when they sang a hymn to Christ as God, and bound themselves by a solemn oath not to commit any deed. wicked Pliny the Younger, Letters, Series 10.
-On the eve of Passover Yeshua was hanged … since nothing has been reported in his favor, he was hanged on the eve of Passover!-Jewish Talmud Sanhedrin 43a.
Jesus is referenced by several historians of antiquity as the Roman Emperor at the time (Jesus '43 vs. Tiberius, 10).
Did Jesus really exist?
To-day no competent scholar denies the historicity of Jesus. Bruce Metzger, PhD
"You speak of Caesar, Alexander, their conquests and their enthusiasm kindled in the heart of their soldiers, but can you conceive of a dead man's conquests decision, with an army of loyal and dedicated to his memory? My armies I have forgotten, even during his life, that Hannibal's Carthaginian army forgotten. This is our power.-I know men and I tell you, Jesus Christ is not a simple man. Between him and every other person in the world, there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I founded empires. But what did we rest the creations of our genius? On the strength. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love, and this time, millions would die for him. "I seek in vain to find history like Jesus Christ, or anything that can approach the gospel. Neither story nor humanity, neither age nor nature, offer me something with which I am able to compare it or explain it. Napoleon
