How many prophecies about Jesus' first coming were fulfilled?
Approximately 360 individual prophecies concerning Christ's first coming were fulfilled completely. This comprehensive fulfillment demonstrates prophecy's accuracy and secures the reliability of Scripture. The speaker notes that if all these foretold events happened, it is unreasonable to doubt the rest.
Les explains that prophecy has secured the Bible's accuracy. He points out that concerning Christ's first coming, all the foretold events happened—360 some individual prophecies, all fulfilled completely. He uses this as a defense of Scripture against other religious books, noting no other book predicts events hundreds or thousands of years in advance and has them come true. Therefore, if the rest of Scripture is doubted despite these fulfilled prophecies, something is wrong with that thinking, because it is true.
