I gotcha. You know, it striked me because you and I were talking about Santa Barbara earlier and how you love Santa Barbara. And I was thinking that, you know, we've talked about these prophecies that hundreds of years before Jesus that point toward the crucifixion, the resurrection, all this stuff.

And, you know, when I was a skeptic, I used to think, oh, he just maneuvered his life to, you know, like it says, the Messiah will ride a donkey into Jerusalem and he just got a donkey and rode in. So it He knew all this.

He knew all that, but there was all these things he couldn't have fulfilled, like where he was born and the time he was born and soldiers gambling for his garment, all these things he couldn't have fulfilled.

Nations coming together. Which happened, Rome. Exactly. Herod. You talk about Santa Barbara, there was a professor there at Westmont College named Peter Stoner. And Peter Stoner said one day, he said, you know what? You can quantify everything. the likelihood, what are the odds that any one of these prophecies could be fulfilled? For instance, Micah says- He's the one who did that?

Yeah, Westmont. Micah says that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Well, how many people have been born in Bethlehem? So you could figure out the odds. So he got a group of mathematics students together and he said, let's run the odds. Because there are like 61 prophecies just of the Messiah. Right. So, he took 48 of them and he said, let's run the numbers. Here's this question.

What are the odds that any human being throughout history could fulfill 48 of these prophecies? And they calculated it was one chance in a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion. That's equal to the number of atoms. It's like one atom in a trillion, trillion, billion universes.
