Knowledge
The Book “Science Speaks” written by Peter W. Stoner and Robert C. Newman based on scientific probability and backed by the American Scientific Affiliation, stated the odds of one man in all history fulfilling even only eight of the prophecies would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000.

Question
The question is not, why can’t you believe … the question is, why won’t you believe?
Anyone who digs into the evidence and still doesn’t surrender to Jesus is in a state of “rebellion,” and that is not of God. It is the work of Satan.
Why should you be stricken and punished any more [since it brings no correction]? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart is faint (feeble, sick, and nauseated). ~Isaiah 1:5 (AMPC)
