The Impossible Odds: Jesus & the Mathematics of Prophecy | Pastor Joe Focht

by Pastor Joe Focht

 

What are the chances that one person—at any point in history—could fulfill even a handful of the Old Testament prophecies about the coming Messiah?

Pastor Joe Focht of Calvary Chapel Philadelphia breaks it down with startling math. From His birth in Bethlehem to His betrayal for 30 pieces of silver, from the piercing of His hands and feet to His burial in a rich man’s tomb, the probability of one man fulfilling just 17 of these very specific prophecies is 4.8 x 10³³.

That’s a 4.8 with 33 zeros after it.
In other words… statistically impossible—unless that man is exactly who He claimed to be.

Watch now to see why Jesus isn’t just a historical figure—He’s the fulfillment of God’s perfect plan.
