Evidence & Probability of Jesus being the “Christ” and odds of His Resurrection.

By Pastor Joel – Open Heaven Christian Church – Fisher, Arkansas

From a biblical-theological perspective, Scripture presents a coherent, internally consistent patterned revelation—including numerical structures, typology, chronology, and covenantal sequencing—that identifies Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ (Messiah) from Genesis through Revelation.

This is not numerology in a mystical sense, but ordered divine structure, repetition, and fulfillment.

Below is a sequence-based framework study showing how Scripture progressively and mathematically points to Christ, supported by explicit 1611 KJV Scripture.

PART 1

1. The Foundational Equation: Seed → Promise → Fulfillment

Genesis establishes the Messianic variable

Genesis 3:15 (KJV)

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

Pattern introduced:

• Singular seed (not seeds)

• Victory through suffering

• Human-born redeemer

Paul later confirms this as Christ:

Galatians 3:16 (KJV)

“He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one… which is Christ.”

This establishes the mathematical constraint:
→ ONE specific descendant fulfills the equation.

2. Genealogical Compression: Narrowing the Set

Scripture mathematically reduces possibilities:

Genesis 49:10 (KJV)

“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah… until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.”

2 Samuel 7:12–13 (KJV)

“I will set up thy seed after thee… and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.”

Jesus fulfills this exactly:

Matthew 1:1 (KJV)

“The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.”

This is genealogical probability collapsing to 1.

3. The Numerical Pattern of Sevens (Divine Completion)

Creation Pattern

• Creation: 7 days

• God’s work complete on the 7th

Covenant Pattern

• Sabbath: Every 7th day

• Sabbatical year: Every 7th year

• Jubilee: 7 × 7 years + 1

Messianic Timing

Daniel 9:24–26 (KJV)

“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people… from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince…”

This prophecy mathematically predicts the exact time-frame of Messiah’s arrival—fulfilled during Jesus’ lifetime.

4. Sacrificial Mathematics: One Life Equals Many

Old Testament formula:

• Blood required

• Innocent substitute

• Temporary covering

Leviticus 17:11 (KJV)

“It is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”

But animal sacrifices repeat endlessly:

Hebrews 10:1 (KJV)

“The law… can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.”

Christ completes the equation:

Hebrews 10:10 (KJV)

“We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

One perfect sacrifice satisfies infinite debt—a mathematically final solution.

5. Passover Alignment (Exact Day Correlation)

Exodus 12:

• Lamb without blemish

• Blood applied

• Death passes over

Jesus’ crucifixion aligns precisely with Passover.

John 1:29 (KJV)

“Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

1 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)

“For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.”

This is not just a symbolic coincidence—it is calendar fulfillment.

6. Psalm 22 & Isaiah 53: Predictive Precision

Written hundreds of years before crucifixion existed.

Psalm 22:16–18 (KJV)

“They pierced my hands and my feet… they part my garments among them…”

Isaiah 53:5 (KJV)

“He was wounded for our transgressions… and with his stripes we are healed.”

Jesus fulfills every variable:

• Piercing

• Silence before accusers

• Burial with the rich

• Death counted with transgressors

7. Resurrection Constraint (Non-Negotiable Variable)

Psalm 16:10 (KJV)

“Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”

Acts 2:31 (KJV)

“He… spake of the resurrection of Christ.”

A dead Messiah disqualifies.
Jesus alone satisfies resurrection conditions when God raised Jesus from the grave.

8. Revelation: The Equation Concludes

Genesis begins with:

• A garden lost

• A serpent victorious temporarily

Revelation ends with:

• A city gained

• The serpent destroyed

Revelation 5:5 (KJV)

“Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed…”

Revelation 22:13 (KJV)

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end…”

The same Seed promised in Genesis stands enthroned in Revelation.

9. Summary Pattern (Compressed)

Final Fulfillment Concludes

From a structured, sequential, and internally consistent biblical framework:

• One Seed

• One Line

• One Time

• One Sacrifice

• One Resurrection

• One King

Jesus uniquely satisfies every constraint.

John 20:31 (KJV)

“These are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

PART 2

Diagram below shows the timeline, probability of mathematics odds, and the alignment with Jewish feast cycles in complete prophetical detail.

Key observation:
There is no branching alternative Messiah in the timeline. Every fork narrows, never widens.

II.
PROBABILITY MATHEMATICS (NON-MYSTICAL, CONSERVATIVE)

This section answers a simple question:

What is the likelihood that one individual fulfills multiple independent Messianic constraints?

We will use minimal, conservative assumptions.

ODDS: 1 / (300,000 × 12 × 1,000 × 10,000 × 10 × 100 × 100) ≈ 1 in 3.6 × 10^19

That is: 1 in 36,000,000,000,000,000,000

And this is using:

• Fewer than 10 prophecies

• Conservative population assumptions

• No supernatural weighting

Peter Stoner, a mathematician, demonstrated that 48 prophecies exceeds 1 in 10^157 — far beyond the number of atoms in the observable universe.

C. The Resurrection Variable

Probability of resurrection without divine action: ≈ 0

Thus, mathematically speaking:

If the resurrection occurred, probability analysis becomes confirmation, not speculation.

III. JEWISH FEAST CYCLE ALIGNMENT (PRECISE & SEQUENTIAL)

The feasts of Leviticus 23 function as a prophetic calendar, not merely rituals.

A. SPRING FEASTS (FULFILLED IN CHRIST’S FIRST COMING)

1. Passover – Crucifixion

Leviticus 23:5
John 19:14

• Lamb slain

• Blood applied

• Judgment passes over

Fulfillment:
Christ crucified on Passover

“Christ our passover is sacrificed for us”
— 1 Corinthians 5:7

2. Unleavened Bread – Sinless Burial

Leviticus 23:6

• No leaven = no sin

• Body placed in ground

Fulfillment:
Jesus’ sinless body buried

3. First-fruits – Resurrection

Leviticus 23:10–11

• First sheaf offered

• Guarantee of harvest

Fulfillment:
Resurrection on the feast itself

“Christ the first-fruits”
— 1 Corinthians 15:20

4. Pentecost – Church Birth

Leviticus 23:15–16 (50 days later)

Acts 2

• Law once given on Sinai

• Spirit now given in Jerusalem

B. FALL FEASTS (AWAIT FUTURE FULFILLMENT)

5. Trumpets – Regathering / Announcement

Leviticus 23:24
1 Thessalonians 4:16

• Trumpet call

• Assembly summoned

6. Day of Atonement – National Repentance

Leviticus 23:27
Zechariah 12:10

“They shall look upon me whom they have pierced”

7. Tabernacles – God Dwelling with Man

Leviticus 23:34
Revelation 21:3

“The tabernacle of God is with men”

C. Feast Cycle Summary Table

FINAL SYNTHESIS

• Timeline shows intentional progression

• Probability eliminates coincidence

• Feast cycles demonstrate calendrical precision

Taken together, these form a closed system of evidence:

Jesus does not merely “fit” Scripture.
Scripture is architected around Him.

Luke 24:27 (KJV)

“Beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.”

III. SECOND TEMPLE JEWISH MESSIANIC EXPECTATIONS

A. What Jews Expected (200 BC – AD 70)

Key Point: Judaism held multiple Messianic strands (King + Sufferer), but struggled to reconcile them into one person.

Jesus uniquely fulfills both.

Non‑Negotiable Constraints Failed by Others:

• Born in Bethlehem

• Davidic lineage

• Atoning death

• Resurrection

• Everlasting kingdom

V. CONSTRAINT SUMMARY (CLOSED SYSTEM)

SCRIPTURAL CONCLUSION (KJV)

“We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth” — John 1:45

“Beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself” — Luke 24:27

MATHEMATICAL ODDS: JESUS IS THE CHRIST WHO GOD RAISED FROM THE DEAD.

PART 3

JESUS THE CHRIST

A Complete Teaching Sermon from Genesis to Revelation (KJV)

SERMON TITLE

“From Promise to Fulfillment: Jesus the Christ Revealed”

Key Text: Luke 24:27 (KJV)

“And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.”

SERMON PURPOSE

To clearly and simply demonstrate—using Scripture alone—that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Christ (Messiah), revealed progressively from Genesis to Revelation, confirmed by prophecy, fulfilled in history, and completed in eternity.

SERMON OUTLINE

1. The Promise of the Christ (Genesis)

2. The Narrowing of the Promise (The Covenants)

3. The Pattern of Sacrifice (The Law)

4. The Predictions of the Prophets

5. The Fulfillment in Jesus Christ

6. The Prophetic Calendar (Jewish Feasts)

7. The Resurrection — God’s Final Proof

8. The Completion in Revelation

9. Call to Faith and Assurance

1. THE PROMISE OF THE CHRIST (GENESIS)

A. The Promise Begins After the Fall

Genesis 3:15 (KJV)

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

Explanation (Simple Terms):

• God promises a coming Seed (one person)

• This person would be wounded (heel bruised)

• But would ultimately destroy Satan (head crushed)

This is the first prophecy of Christ in the Bible.

B. God Promises One Specific Descendant

Galatians 3:16 (KJV)

“Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.”

Key Truth: God’s plan was always centered on one Redeemer.

2. THE NARROWING OF THE PROMISE (THE COVENANTS)

God steadily narrows who the Messiah must be.

A. From Abraham

Genesis 12:3 (KJV)

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

B. Through Isaac, Not Ishmael

Genesis 21:12 (KJV)

“In Isaac shall thy seed be called.”

C. Through Jacob, Not Esau

Genesis 28:14 (KJV)

“And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.”

D. Through the Tribe of Judah

Genesis 49:10 (KJV)

“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.”

E. Through the House of David

2 Samuel 7:12–13 (KJV)

“I will set up thy seed after thee… and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.”

Simple Summary:
By the time of David, God has narrowed the Messiah to one family, one tribe, one royal line.

3. THE PATTERN OF SACRIFICE (THE LAW)

A. Blood Is Required

Leviticus 17:11 (KJV)

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls.”

B. Animal Sacrifices Were Temporary

Hebrews 10:1 (KJV)

“For the law having a shadow of good things to come… can never with those sacrifices… make the comers thereunto perfect.”

C. A Perfect Sacrifice Was Needed

The sacrifices pointed forward to one final offering.

4. THE PREDICTIONS OF THE PROPHETS

A. Born in Bethlehem

Micah 5:2 (KJV)

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah… out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel.”

B. The Suffering Servant

Isaiah 53:5–6 (KJV)

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities… and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

C. Pierced and Mocked

Psalm 22:16–18 (KJV)

“They pierced my hands and my feet… they part my garments among them.”

D. Exact Timing of Messiah

Daniel 9:25–26 (KJV)

“From the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince… shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself.”

5. THE FULFILLMENT IN JESUS CHRIST

A. His Identity

Matthew 1:1 (KJV)

“The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.”

B. The Lamb of God

John 1:29 (KJV)

“Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

C. The Perfect Sacrifice

Hebrews 10:10 (KJV)

“We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

6. THE PROPHETIC CALENDAR (JEWISH FEASTS)

A. Passover — Crucifixion

1 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)

“For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.”

B. Firstfruits — Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:20 (KJV)

“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.”

C. Pentecost — The Church

Acts 2:1–4 (KJV)

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come… they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.”

7. THE RESURRECTION — GOD’S FINAL PROOF

Psalm 16:10 (KJV)

“For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”

Acts 2:31 (KJV)

“He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ.”

Simple Truth:
A dead Messiah cannot save. A risen Messiah proves God accepted the sacrifice.

8. THE COMPLETION IN REVELATION

A. The Victorious Messiah

Revelation 5:5 (KJV)

“Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed.”

B. God Dwelling With Man

Revelation 21:3 (KJV)

“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them.”

Genesis begins with a lost garden. Revelation ends with an eternal city.

9. CALL TO FAITH AND ASSURANCE

John 20:31 (KJV)

“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

Closing Summary:

• Promised in Genesis

• Revealed in the Law

• Predicted by the Prophets

• Fulfilled in Christ

• Proclaimed by the Church

• Completed in Revelation

CONCLUSION: Jesus is the Christ THAT God the Father raised from the dead!

The empty tomb of Jesus Christ is not only fulfillment of prophecy, but it was God the Father’s only divine plan to offer salvation to anyone who will believer in their heart and confess with their mouth that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Romans 10:9-13

“9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

This is why the Apostles preached the resurrection of Jesus Christ everywhere they went.

1 Peter 1:3

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

1 Peter 3:21

“The like figure where-unto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:”

2 Timothy 2:8

“Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:”
