Messianic Prophecies

Analogy★★★★

The odds of fulfilling eight specific messianic prophecies accidentally are 1 in 10 to the 17th power. This is illustrated by filling Texas with quarters and finding one marked quarter, which symbolizes how unlikely it would be for these prophecies to occur randomly.

Baca, Anthony, “05 Truth or Fairy Tale” (AudioVerse teaching 44543).
