In **Deuteronomy 19:15**, Scripture says: >*“A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”* (NIV) This principle is echoed in the New Testament as well (e.g., **2 Corinthians 13:1**, **Matthew 18:16**), and it forms a biblical basis for establishing truth through multiple witnesses. Recently, a group of around fifty schoolgirls claimed to have witnessed what they described as a literal white horse moving in the sky. The account spread quickly, with many asserting that it was a divine or supernatural sign. While some observers dismiss such claims as imagination or psychological suggestion, others argue that the number of consistent witnesses makes the event harder to ignore. This raises the theological question: >**According to Christian teaching, should the testimony of multiple human witnesses—especially when it involves a supposed divine encounter—be taken as credible?** Or are there other tests (e.g., alignment with Scripture, discernment by spiritual authorities, the fruit of the encounter) that must also be considered?
