SHEMA, O ISRAEL!
PROPHECIES OF THE MESSIAH
Despite the confusion, concealment and corruption of the Hebrew scriptures by many, there stands a sure word of prophecy for people to hear and to heed. What is that sure word of prophecy? It is the revelation of the Messiah's identify: "The desire of all nations" ~ Haggai 2:7.
Did Jesus fulfill the messianic prophecies in the Hebrew Scriptures? Professor Peter Stoner, a noted mathematician, in his book: "Science Speaks" published these facts that the chance of one single man fulfilling forty-eight prophecies is the incredible number of 10^157. This number contains 157 zeros, yet there are 324 prophecies fulfilled in Jesus the Christ.
Please set aside time to search the scriptures for yourself to see if just 97 of these prophecies are true:
