How do you know the Bible is True? All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Tim. 3:16,17

How do we know the Bible is Gods Word? How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD? If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. Deut. 18:21,22

Prophecy is Gods proof The number of protons in the universe is called the Eddington number. Roughly 10 to the 86thpower, 1 with 86 zeroes!!!!! 300 prophecies with just a 1 in 10 chance of coming to pass is 1 with 300 Zeroes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christ in the Old Testament New Testament Fulfillment Old Testament Prophecy There are over 300 prophecies of His 1stComing. There are hundreds more that refer to His 2ndComing. 1stcoming prophecies were fulfilled exactly as prophesied. 2ndcoming prophecies we can be sure that each and every one will come to fulfillment just as God has said.

Prophecy is Gods Proof of the Truth. No other religion in the world even attempts to do what our God does. Dr. John Walvoord lists 1000 prophecies in his book, Every Prophecy in the Bible. 500 have already been literally fulfilled!!!!! One fourth of the Bible was prophecy when it was written!!!!

Prophecy supports the Holiness of God. Many question God because of the problem of evil in this world not being actively judged. Prophecy tells us God will judge evil. Righteousness will prevail. Every act will be brought to light.
