Messianic Prophecies - What Are The Odds Of Fulfillment?

Messianic Prophecy is so powerful because of the statistical odds that one man would fulfill every single one of them. If we just analyze seven of the more specific prophecies in the Old Testament, that were later fulfilled in the Person of Yashua, we are stunned by the statistical impossibility of such an historical reality. As an illustration we have inserted some conservative "odds" alongside seven established prophecies.
