You may wonder

what is that strange looking thing with all the zeros.

That is a mathematical equation.

That's one over ninety-seven zeros.

But what does it mean?

It represents the possibility of 332 distinct prophecies

in the Old Testament

being fulfilled by one man.

One man did fulfill every one of these prophecies.

Here are a few we are more familiar with:

• the betrayal by a friend (Ps. 41:9)
  
• the forsaking of the disciples through being offended at him (Ps. 31:11)
  
• the false accusation (Ps. 35:11)
• the silence before his judges (Isa 53:7)
• being proven guiltless (Isa. 53:9)
• being included with sinners (Isa. 53:12)
• being crucified (Ps. 22:16)
• the mockery of the spectators (Ps. 109:25)
• the taunt of nondeliverance (Ps. 22:7-8)
• the gambling for his garments (Ps. 22:18)
• the prayer for his enemies (Isa. 53:12)
• being forsaken by God (Ps. 22:1)
• the yielding of his spirit into the hands of his Father (Ps 31:5)
• the bones not broken (Ps. 34:20)
• the burial in a rich man's tomb (Isa 53:9)

Why did I chose this for my Spiritual Sundays post? I read it in one of Max Lucado's books, He Chose the Nails. I thought "Wow." I knew many Old Testament scriptures were fulfilled by Jesus, but 332? Of course Max didn't list all of them, but I'll take his word for it. Even if there were not that many, if there were just the ones listed above, that would be enough to convince me.
