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.

I mean, this is an astronomical—it's not 12 trillion. It's 12 trillions, you know, the odds of any human being fulfilling these— Yeah, I talked to one physicist. I said, when you get the numbers that big, what are the odds it can actually happen? He said, oh, we scientists have a term for that. I said, what is it? He said, ain't going to happen. It ain't going to happen. And yet it did.

And it only happened in Jesus. He's the only one. And as you pointed out earlier, quite accurately, that because of the timeframe, if Jesus isn't the Messiah, there will never be one. Can't be. Can't be. Because he had to come before the temple was destroyed. The temple was destroyed in the 70s.

That's right.

That's right.
