There are over 300 references in the New Testament about Christ's return. There are only 70 about repentance, 19 about water baptism, 6 about communion. ONE VERSE OUT OF EVERY TWENTY-FIVE (25) in the New Testament has something to say about the coming of Christ!
Are you ready? Have you gotten the message? If yes, have you told somebody? Next time you are conveying the message, make sure that others know this information, it is hard to argue. NO OTHER book is this dedicated to a theme more important than the Bible.
Some scholars say there are over 1000 prophecies in the Bible, 800 in the Old Testament and about 200 in the New Testament. But it is important to know that even with the above information about the New Testament that in the Old Testament there are also about 300 references to the coming Messiah.
I am quoting from this website: http://www.newtestamentchurch.org/html/Christian_Evidence/Bible_Prophecies.htm
Many of the prophecies concerning the Messiah were totally beyond human control: Birth: Place, time, manner of
Death: People's reactions, piercing of side, burial
Resurrection: Where did His body go?
By using the modern science of probability in reference to just eight of these prophecies, the chance that any man might have lived to fulfill all eight prophecies is one in 100 trillion!
To illustrate this point: If we take 100 trillion silver dollars and lay them on the face of Texas, they would be two feet deep. Now we mark one of these silver dollars and thoroughly stir the whole mass--all over the state. Now blindfold a man and let him travel as far as he wishes, but he must pick only one silver dollar. What chance would he have of picking the marked one? The same chance that the prophets would have of writing just eight of these prophecies and having them all come true for any one man if they had written them without God's inspiration!
The chance of any one man's fulfilling all of 48 prophecies is one in ten to the 157th power. The electron is about as small an object as we can imagine. If we had a cubic inch of these electrons and tried to count them, it would take us (at 250 per minute) 19,000 times 19,000 times 19,000 years to count them. Now mark one of them and thoroughly stir it into the whole mass. What chance does our blindfolded man have of finding the right electron? The same chance as one man of fulfilling 48 of the prophecies about Christ without His being the Son of God!
Jesus Christ fulfilled every prophecy written about the coming Messiah--more than 300 of them! Would that have been possible had He not been the Son of God?
So let us remember that when arguments come up, we have evidence to prove it! Remember, there is no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole, or near death. And secondly, God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they do not exist :). Not being hard on those who claim to be atheist, as God tells us we are to love all as our neighbor, but we have a commission to fulfill, to spread the word. Love the sinner, and hate the sin.
Have a blessed day.
