Day two of Trump 47, and there’s already a LOT happening. Nearly 50 (46) executive orders on day one — almost 4x more than the last 8 POTUS combined!
1017 = 100,000,000,000,000,000 (i.e. 1 followed by 17 zeros)
Excerpt from 47 Old Testament Prophecies About Jesus:
A Statistical Improbability
Some Bible scholars suggest there are more than 300 Old Testament prophetic Scriptures fulfilled in the life of Jesus Christ. Circumstances such as his birthplace, lineage, and method of execution were beyond Christ’s control; there is no way He could have accidentally or deliberately fulfilled them.
In the book Science Speaks, Peter Stoner and Robert Newman discuss the statistical improbability of one man accidentally or deliberately fulfilling even eight prophecies Jesus fulfilled. The chance of this happening, they say, is 1 in 1017. Stoner presents a scenario that illustrates the magnitude of such odds:
Suppose that we take 1017 silver dollars and lay them on the face of Texas. They will cover all of the state two 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 that this is the right one. What chance would he have of getting the right one? Just the same chance that the prophets would have had of writing these eight prophecies and having them all come true in any one man, from their day to the present time, providing they wrote using their own wisdom.
The mathematical improbability of 300, 47, or even eight prophecies fulfilled in Jesus is evidence of His Messiahship.

Trump 47
[4:40—7:03] Secretary of State Marco Rubio Swearing-In Ceremony | C-SPAN.org
Marco Rubio: President Trump was elected to keep promises, and he’s going to keep those promises. And his primary promise when it comes to foreign policy is that the priority of the United States Department of State will be the United States. It will be furthering the national interest of this country, and he’s given us a very clear mandate. President Trump’s made it very clear; everything we do — and this is true in government, but especially at the Department of State — everything we do must be justified by the answer to one of three questions: Does it make us stronger? Does it make us safer? And does it make us more prosperous? If it doesn’t do one of those three things, we will not do it.
[Speaking in Spanish] I just said I saved a bunch of money by switching to GEICO, that’s what I said. [laughter]
I want to end by thanking Almighty God, and my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. That is truly the singular purpose of our lives. It’s the most important priority. It’s the only thing that will matter when we take our last breath on this earth.
Will Scharf: This next executive order is about protecting America from foreign terrorists, and other national security and public safety threats. Again, the crisis at the border, but it goes beyond that, and implicates other executive powers as well.
Peter Doocy: President Trump, if the [drug] cartels are now going to be seen as “Foreign Terror Organizations”, would you think about ordering US Special Forces into Mexico to “take ‘em out”?
President Trump: Could happen. Stranger things have happened.
