How was the Bible able to predict so

accurately all that has happened over

thousands of years before they occurred?

Only because those who spoke them were

inspired of God and moved by the Holy

Spirit, his wisdom and power.

"The chariots shall rage in the streets,
they shall justle one against another
in the broad ways: they shall seem like
torches, they shall run like the lightnings."
Nahum 2:3-4

Nahum, in his vision, saw cars on the
streets....not knowing what they were,
described them as chariots on fire,
rushing to and fro like lightning.

The traffic on our streets and on the
highways to him was "raging" he surely
had no idea what he was seeing; but he
definitely was witnessing automobiles.

"Canst thou send lightnings, that they
may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?"
Job 38:35

The Bible even tells us about radio before
anyone knew that lightnings were electricity
that could send waves that carry voices so
others can hear.

Even television was foretold in Rev. 11:9
"And they of the people and kindreds and
tongues and nations shall see their dead
bodies three days and an half,..."

How else are all people all over the world
going to see these bodies except for the
ability of television in every home and
public place at the same time.

"And he brought him forth abroad,
and said, Look now toward heaven,
and tell the stars, if thou be able to
number them: and he said unto him,
So shall thy seed be. Gen. 15:5

Here God showed Abraham all the
stars....that they were too many to
count.

"As the host of heaven cannot be
numbered, neither the sand of the
sea measured:" Jeremiah 33:22

And the sand of the seas be measured.
The Bible has predicted these things
through the prophets of old. Something
only God could do.

"Have ye not known?

have ye not heard?

hath it not been told you

from the beginning?

have ye not understood

from the foundations

of the earth?

It is he that sitteth upon the circle

of the earth, and the inhabitants

thereof are as grasshoppers; that

stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain,

and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell

in:" Isaiah 40:20-22

The Bible even teaches us that the earth

is round and in the form of a circle. This

was foretold 2600 years ago.

And that it was light (day) on one side while

dark (night) on the other side. Only under

inspiration of God did they know that.

"For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of

the one part under heaven, shineth unto

the other part under heaven; so shall also

the Son of man be in his day." Luke 17:24

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me;
because the LORD hath anointed me to
preach good tidings unto the meek; he
hath sent me to bind up the broken-
hearted, to proclaim liberty to the
captives, and the opening of the prison
to them that are bound; To proclaim
the acceptable year of the LORD,
Isaiah 61:1&2

Prophets told of the ministry that
Jesus would have.

He proved it by doing many wonderful
miracles, signs and wonders.

"Therefore the Lord himself shall give
you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive,
and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel." Isaiah 7:14

An Angel of the Lord told both Mary and
Joseph that the child would be of the Holy
Spirit.

A miracle was prophesied many years
before it happened about his birth.

Even Daniel the prophet proclaimed Jesus'
birth almost 500 years before it happened.

Christ's birth was told by Micah a
prophet, five hundred years before,
saying......
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though
thou be little among the thousands of
Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth
unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose
goings forth have been from of old,
from everlasting." Micah 5:2

Thus Jesus existed before his birth here
on earth.

And it prdicted that he would be born in
Bethlehem.

The historical accounts of the Bible
like: Eden, the flood, tower of babel
and many, many more have been
proven by archeologists.

And the fulfillment of prophecies by the
biblical prophets over the centuries also
prove the Bible's validity.

EVEN

Evolutionists have declared that culture,
science and religion have all gradually
evolved.

Throughout the centuries the Bible has
always been up-to-date. People of all ages,
and walks of life have fashioned their lives
according to it.

God made sure it would apply to everyone.
People can apply it to all areas of their lives.
It is a book of happiness, success, deliverance,
health, protection, joy, peace and all of his
attributes can be lived out in us.

No other book can do what this one can. This
too shows only He could inspire it and keep it
preserved.

The scriptures were even declared inspired
by Jesus Himself.

He said that His own words were inspired by
Mark 13:31 "Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but my words shall not pass away".

He even referred to the Old Testament saying
that it was the Word of God. Check out these
verses: Matt. 22:31&32; Luke 4:17-19; and
Luke 16:29-31.

Jesus claimed he was the Son of God John 10:36
".........Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the
Son of God?

And that from a child thou hast known the holy
scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto
salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness: II Tim 3:15-16

We have also a more sure word of prophecy;
whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto
a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day
dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture
is of any private interpretation.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will
of man: but holy men of God spake as they were
moved by the Holy Ghost. II Peter 1:19-21

The scriptures itself testifies to it's inpiration.
