Old Testament Prophecies

Jesus’ ministry on earth was enough to show His power and authority, but what's even more amazing is that it was all predicted beforehand. According to most sources, Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies about His life. Research by Peter Stoner shows that the likelihood of even just eight of those prophecies coming true by chance is 1 in 1017. The prophecies were about a range of things from Jesus' lineage to strange miracles and even to the detail of His parents hiding Him in Egypt for a while after He was born, but they all came true. Only God could do that. The purpose of it all was described in the first prophecy about Him in Genesis 3:15. It was to crush Satan and save us from sin and death.
