THE MESSIANIC PROPHECIES
 kwministries.org

The coming of the Messiah and the redemption He provided is the theme of a group of Bible prophecies known as the Messianic prophecies. Over three hundred  prophecies were actually fulfilled at Jesus' first coming. The fulfillment of these prophecies confirmed His claim that He was the promised Messiah-as well as prove the trustworthiness of Bible prophecy.
Observe the following:

A  Mathematical Improbability

Peter Stone in Science Speaks cited 11 Bible prophecies and calculated their probability of fulfillment at 8x10 to the 63rd degree. That is 10 with 63 zeros following it! But remember, that is only eleven prophecies from the Bible. There are over 10,000 other predictions in Scripture which are already, or soon to be fulfilled.
