I get so frustrated when trying to discuss scripture and Bible prophecy with some people. They act like know it alls but dont even know history. In order to understand prophecy, you must first know history. Otherwise the prophecy will not make sense to you. Bible prophecy offers the clearest indication that the Bible is the verifiable Word of God. Yet despite the millions of people who attend church and synagogue every week and the existence of countless books on the subject, most people are simply unaware of these prophecies. They feverishly search through the writings of Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, the Koran, and countless other sacred texts in hope of finding a profound truth or revelation concerning the future, only to be disappointed time and again. Somehow, the most credible source of information on future events, the Bible, escapes notice. Yet the fulfilled prophecies of the Bible are backed by mountains of historical data, archaeological evidence, and the staggering mathematical probability of their occurrence merely being the result of chance. No other source of historical knowledge can make the same claims, and for good reason. No other source is the inspired Word of God. And do not forget the things I have done throughout history. For I am God—I alone! I am God, and there is no one else like me. Only I can tell you what is going to happen even before it happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish (Isaiah 46:9-11, NLT). The very definition of God includes His unique ability to see from the distant past to the distant future, from the beginning to the end. He alone can foresee world events with 100-percent accuracy centuries in advance. The apostle Peter testified to this fact: Above all, you must understand that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophets themselves or because they wanted to prophesy. It was the Holy Spirit who moved the prophets to speak from God (2 Peter 1:20, NLT). Unlike other sacred texts that claim divine origin, the Bible can point to its unprecedented track record in foreseeing future events. This is because the Bible is not the product of imaginative men, but rather the testimony of prophets who were moved by the Holy Spirit to speak from God. Fulfilled prophecy authenticates the Bible, proving it to be the Word of God. For this reason alone, Bible prophecy is worth every iota of our attention. However, when it comes to spreading the Word of God, there is no greater tool of evangelism than Bible prophecy. Please watch this video for a clear indication of historical facts that were prophesied centuries before them came to pass. If you want a quick history lesson, this video is great!
