Mic 5:2 KJV - But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting.

Probability of Prophecies Fulfilled
There are 61 major prophecies that Jesus fulfilled. If you can find anyone living or dead, who can fulfil only half of these predictions than I have $1000 for you. The following probabilities are taken from Peter Stoner in Science Speaks to show that coincidence is ruled out by the science of probability. Stoner says that by using the modern science of probability in reference to eight prophecies we find that the chance that any man might have lived down to the present time and fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 in 10 to the power of 17.
1. Place of birth (Micah 5:2)
2. Preceded by a messenger (Malachi 3:1).
3. He was to enter Jerusalem on a donkey (Zechariah 9:9).
4. His hands and feet pierced (Psalm 22:16).
5. Sold for 30 pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12).
6. That money to be thrown in God's house and given for a potter's field (Zechariah 11: 13).
7. Silent before his accusers (Isaiah 53:7).
8. Crucified (Psalm 22:16; Isaiah 53:12)
That would be one in 100,000,000,000,000,000.
In order to help us comprehend this staggering probability, Stoner illustrates it by supposing that "We take 10 to the power of 17 silver dollars and lay them on the face of Texas. They will cover all of the state 2 feet deep. Now mark one of these silver dollars and stir the whole mass thoroughly, all over the state. Blindfold a man and tell him that he can travel as far as he wishes, but he must pick up one silver dollar and say t ...
