Seed Messiah video
It can confidently be stated that it has been proven mathematically
Who the true God is
BEYOND THE SHADOW of a doubt.
Watch ~ "the Seed Messiah" video ~
at the bottom of this page
-------------------------------------------
~ THE BACKGROUND ~
Scattered within the pages of the Hebrew Scriptures of the Bible, often known as the Tenach or Old Testament, are prophets who worshipped the same God and spoke in His name of future events that would be taking place. This video is an artistic, musical journey through those Scriptures that foretell of a man who was to be born in the future of great importance. He is sometimes referred to as "the Seed" and "Messiah," and as the prophet Isaiah prophecied of Him, He would also be called, "The mighty God, The everlasting Father," "Immanuel" (God with us). The first prophecy of Him is written soon after the record of the Creation, and His geneology is then outlined from generation to generation. Details of His life are also found within many of these prophecies.
Prophets ... their words spoken hundreds to thousands of years before their fulfillment. Only the true God would know the future so accurately and so far in advance. Spoken not just to a single person in some sort of "vision" experience that attracts followers, but through various prophets at various times throughout thousands of years!
-------------------------------
~ MATHEMATICAL PROOF? ~
Again, as in the "Ask now" video, the laws of mathematical probability can be used in the proving of "Who is God?". Here's the way it works ...
Let's suppose just for an example, that we have picked just 4 of these prophecies and want to figure, "What is the mathematical chance that all 4 of these could be fulfilled in one man accurately?" You would attempt to fairly calculate a rate of probability for each one which would then look something like this:
Prophecy #1 - 1 chance in 20 possibilities
Prophecy #2 - 1 chance in 100 "
Prophecy #3 - 1 chance in 2000 "
Prophecy #4 - 1 chance in 50 "
Then in order to figure the probability of them all being fulfilled, you would simply multiply them times each other (20x100x2000x50) and in this case, you could then say that there is
1 chance in 200,000,000 possibilities for all 4 to have occurred.
--------------------------------
Here are 2 book sources that cite findings after doing some of the above calculating with the real thing:
1) Josh McDowell's book, "A Ready Defense," (Chapter 19), quoting Professor Peter W. Stoner from his book, "Science Speaks," that considering just 8 of the Messianic prophecies, "we find that the chance that any man might have lived down to the present time and fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 chance in 100,000,000,000,000,000."
He explains that such probability would be similar to the chances of a blindfolded man being able to successfully pick up the only marked silver dollar out of a pile of silver dollars covering the face of the large state of Texas 2 feet deep ... on one try.
Professor Stoner explains in more detail within his book how each rate of probability was determined, and very often an extremely conservative figure was chosen.
2) Grant Jeffrey in his book, "The Signature of God," (Chapter 8), says that considering just 17 predictions, the chance probability is 48 followed by 31 zeros ...
480,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!
He likens this to filling the entire Milky Way galaxy with sand and states that you would have one chance, while blindfolded, to successfully find the only grain that is colored. Note - It would take one hundred thousand years to cross this galaxy at the speed of light - 187,000 miles per second.
(...and think, for example, of how you would assign a chance rate to a prophecy that predicts someone to be born of a virgin since no one has ever been born this way ever. Scripture says this was to be a "sign," something extraordinary.)
3) Consider the quote in Vance Ferrell's book, "The Evolution Cruncher," p. 260, that "Mathematicians agree that any requisite number beyond 10 with 50 zeros has, statistically, a zero probability of occurrence ..." (L.L.Cohen, "Darwin was wrong," 1984, p. 205).
"The Seed Messiah" dvds quote many more than 17 prophecies and their fulfillment. It has been stated that there are 48 major prophecies of the Messiah and hundreds more besides, so that it is a credible thing to say that the mathematical probability of them ever occurring by chance can reasonable be said to be zero
~ BEYOND THE SHADOW of a doubt ~
Now either these prophecies came to pass just by chance, of which the odds have been shown to be immensely against, or they issued forth from a great God, so great that He knows the future so far in advance and was able to relay these events to His holy prophets and record it accurately for hundreds/thousands of years so that we might have the honor of knowing and serving Him, that we would not be ignorant of His plans, and that we might be saved from His coming judgment against ungodly men.
