Prophecy—the Proof of God!
August 27, 2016
Did you know that today’s news—even tomorrow’s—has already been written? In fact, current and future headlines about the United States, the European Union, Germany, Russia, China and other nations were recorded more than 2,000 years ago!
It’s pretty hard for meteorologists to accurately foretell the weather even a few days in advance. But these ancient writers forecasted that Britain and America would rise and fall, that Germany would dominate Europe, that Catholic Europe would clash with radical Islam, and that Russia and China would grow in power and unity. They predicted other specific events that have already come to pass in history and are coming to pass now. And you can find all of these prophecies in one book: the Holy Bible.
How could biblical writers know the future? They had to be divinely inspired.
Herbert W. Armstrong estimated that a third of the Bible consists of prophecy. Fulfilled prophecy proves the existence of Almighty God! It proves that the Bible was divinely inspired, containing revealed knowledge from God that we could not otherwise discover. God challenges us to look within its pages and prove its inspiration by the irrefutable proof of fulfilled prophecy!
Probably the most important pursuit of our lives is to prove God’s existence and the inspiration of His written Word. Today, God is making His existence known to you by showing that His inspired Word—the Holy Bible—is absolutely dependable.
