More than 300 Tanach prophecies have already come true; here are just 48...
The following is a list of just 48 spot-on prophecies fulfilled by Yeshua. If the 48 below don't convince you of Yeshua's existence and deeds, check out the complete list of 300 we have compiled! (Please click on this link for an indepth look at the deeper meaning of the word "fulfilled"!)
The bottom line is, the BIBLE contains at least 300 prophecies that have already come to pass exactly as was written, and there is no way they could all be "coincidences." (According to scientist and mathematician, Professor Peter Stoner, the probability of even just 48 prophecies being fulfilled by one person (referring to Y'shua) is the incredible number of 1 in 10^157 power - one chance in a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion…)
For those who are doubters, perhaps it would interest you to know that TWO of these prophecies came to pass in 1948 when YHWH (Yahweh) used Hitler's Holocaust to make a couple of His "end times" prophecies come true. Isaiah's prophecies about Israel becoming a nation once more (and that it would happen in ONE DAY) came to pass in 1948 when the world briefly felt sorry for the Jews and returned Israel to them - which happened in ONE DAY....
