QUESTION: “SO … YOU
LIKE TO
HAVE A BET?”
(Part 2 of
2)
ANSWER: “ABSOLUTELY … I
DON’T MIND A
FLUTTER!”
EXPLANATION:
This is where “THE LAW
OF
COMPOUNDING PROBABILITY” pokes its head in the door.
Suppose you flip
a coin … the
chances of a ‘head’ are 1:2
Suppose you flip the coin again, the
chances of a 2nd head is .1:4 … the chance has decreased to
one in
four.
Again, for a 3rd head, the
chances are 1:8 … that is one in eight.
Let’s put it another way
Suppose I was to
prophecy that there
would be an earthquake in Brisbane this year, the chance of that
happening
would be 1 in 2 that it would occur.
If I added
another prediction that it
would happen on 23rd October, 2022, later this year, the
chance has
decreased to 1 in 4.
If I added
another detail that is
would happen in the daytime, the chances would be 1 in 8.
If I added
another detail, the chances
would be 1 in 16.
Now if the
details numbered 10, then
the chance would be 1 in 1024.
Now there are 25
prophecies made by
the Old Testament prophets about the betrayal, trial, death
and
burial of Jesus Christ.
These were
uttered by different
prophets during the period from 1000 BC to 400 BC … yet they
were literally
fulfilled in 24 hours in one person.
According to the
above Law of
Compounding Probabilities there was one chance in 33,554,432
that
these 25 prophecies would be fulfilled.
That is 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2
= 33,554,432
This can be
written as follows 1:225
Some of these prophecies
are 30 pieces
of silver (Zech 11:12); betrayed by a friend (Ps 41:9); scourged (Is
50:6);
garments parted (Ps 22:18) … and so on.
We read in
Revelation 19:10 that THE
TESTIMONY OF JESUS is THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY … that is the
purpose of all prophecy is to testify and tell about Jesus Christ.
Now we know that
there are 109
prophecies of the Old Testament literally fulfilled at Christ’s
first
coming, his 1st Advent.
This number is 2:109 =
2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 … 109 times. This number runs into trillions upon
trillions.
Furthermore, of the 845
quotations
from the Old Testament in the New Testament, 333 of these are about
Christ.
This number is 2:333
= 2x2x2x2x2x2x2 … 333 times. This number
is an
impossible figure … it is trillions, upon trillions, upon trillions
upon
trillions.
DEAR READER,
WHAT’S THE POINT OF ALL
THIS?
Would you bet your
soul on flipping
one coin? Heads you go to heaven and tails you go to the literal
burning flames
of hell where you will be everlastingly tormented.
Come on! It’s a
50:50 chance!
Of course you
won’t!
So considering THE
LAW OF COMPOUNDING
PROBABILITIES why won’t you get saved?
The mathematics of prophecy
prove that
the Bible is true.
The mathematics
of prophecy prove that
Christ is the only way of salvation.
The mathematics of
prophecy, the
testimony of Jesus, is a quantitative ROCK (Rom 9:33; 1Cor 10:4; 1Pet
2:8) that
is not subject to your feelings, thoughts or beliefs
“SO …
YOU LIKE TO HAVE A BET? YOU
DON’T MIND A FLUTTER?”
Dear Reader, what you place
on the
table as a bet is not $5, $10 or one million or one trillion trillion
dollars!
No, it will be worth far more than that … it will be your soul.
What does
the Bible say?
For what
shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his
own soul?
Mark 8:36
“Well
Preacher, I don’t believe all this! You’re just trying to use fear!”
“Well all
I
can say to you is … JUST DON’T DIE! Try and live as long as you
can!
Change your diet! Go to a Health Farm for a month!
… But then
again what’s one month when compared to eternity?
