Prophecy

Biblical truth transcends time and circumstances. It even makes predictions. Today, in the 21st century, we are able to look back and confirm the accuracy of Bible prophecy.

Take the prediction of the fall of powerful cities like Babylon (Jeremiah 51:8), Nineveh (Nahum 3:1-7), and Tyre (Isaiah 23), which no one at that time could foresee. Amazingly, the Bible also predicted the successive rise of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome (Daniel 2 and 7). All these events were predicted centuries in advance of their occurrence.

Prophecy

Prophecy even assumed the risk of using numbers to date upcoming events with accuracy. Within the Bible, the ancient Hebrews were familiar with these fulfillments of prophesies. The patriarchs heard it as a promise of deliverance that would be fulfilled during the Exodus. The exiled from Babylon took comfort in the predictions of Jeremiah about their return from exile. Saul, the king, cried out while envisioning his downfall. King Hezekiah learned of his death and its postponement by healing. Births were announced well before time.

So, the Biblical word not only is witness to past events; it also shows itself as an unexpected and sudden witness to the present as well as the future.
